Show The following list may make this clear: Cipactli (the first day-sign)…2b 25 days, leads to Mazatl. Mazatl…2b 25 days, leads to Acatl. Acatl…2b 25 days, leads to Quiauitl. Quiauitl…2b25 days, leads to Coatl. Coatl…2b25 days, leads to Ozomatli. Ozomatli…2b 25 days, leads to Olin. Calli…2b 25 days, leads to Calli. Atl…2b 25 days, leads to Atl. Olin…2b 25 days, leads to Quauhtli. Quauhtli…2b 25 days, leads to Cipactli. Here we have returned to the beginning of the sequence of days going forward in time to the future. We have reached two of the days named on folio 1. The other two days are reached only by going backwards in time towards the past: Migulztli…2014 25 days leads to Xochitl. Xochitl 14 25 days leads to Oceolotl. Oceolotl ^ 14 25 days leads to Tochtli. Tochtli 1425 days leads to Ehecatl. Ehecatl 14 25 days leads to Cozcaquauhtli. Cozcaguauhtli 14 25 days leads to Itzcuintli. Itzcuintli 14 25 days leads to Quetzpalin Quetzpalin 14 25 days leads to Tecpatl. Tecpatl 14 25 days leads to Malinalli. Malinalli 14 25 days leads to Miquiztli. This completes the sequence. The four underlined days are found -fe-a on our Folio 1. The other sixteen day-signs of the normal series of twenty named days are not on folio 1 at all. Yet the recurring nature of the time-count demands their presence. This page is one of a set of five pages. It represents the direction of sunset, the West. The folios which contained the series for North, East, South and Centre are not there. We can reconstruct the solar symbols and the sequence of days, and nowhere do they fit. The supposition must be either that they were on either one or four folios now missing, or else |
