If the Great Year lasted 26000 tropical years, and if
the begin and end of a Great Year saw the sun and moon
and plantes in conjunction, then I would assume that
someone could tell me the Mayan definition of the synodic
Venus orbit or simply Venus year, but apparently nobody
can, so I calculate the numbers of Tzolkin and lunations
and Venus years in the Great Year with my own methods
and formulae.
42 tropical years are 59 Tzolkin. Multiply the numbers
by a factor of 619 and you get 36521 Tzolkin for 25988
years. Add 3 Tzolkin for the remaining 2 years, starting
value of the sequence
3/2 (plus 7/5) 10/7 17/12 24/17 ... 59/42
and you get 36524 Tzolkin for 26000 years.
405 lunations are 46 Tzolkin. Multiply the numbers by
a factor of 794 and you get 321570 lunations for 36524
Tzolkin or 26000 years.
240 synodic Venus orbits are 539 Tzolkin. Multiply the
numbers by a factor of 67 and you get 16080 Venus years
for 36113 Tzolkin. Remain 411 Tzolkin. 411 times 240
equals 98637. 183 times 539 equals 98637, practically
the same. Together you obtain 16080 plus 183 Venus years
for 36113 plus 411 Tzolkin, yielding 16263 Venus years
for 36524 Tzolkin or 26000 years.
A Great Year of 26000 tropical years 'equals' 36524
Tzolkin or 321570 lunations or 16263 synodic Venus orbits
(mistakes in 500 years: Tzolkin conversion 1.1 days,
lunar conversion 2.8 days, Venus conversion 0.12 day).
Definition gained from the Tzolkin conversion: 25 years
are 9131 days, 25 regular years of 365 days plus 6 leap
years of 366 days, according to the sequence
2922/8 (plus 6209/17) 9131/25 15340/42
15340 days are 59 Tzolkin for 42 years, from the sequence
3/2 (plus 7/5) ... 59/42
Mathematics may be regarded as the logic of building and
maintaining, so it is hardly surprising that the pyramid
builders of Egypt and Mesoamerica and ziqqurat builders
of Mesopotamia used the same mathematical tools, additive
number patterns and sequences that have a certain affinity
to the piling of block on block and brick on brick.
