Mexican and Central American antiquities, calendar systems, and history; . f of my theory. fOrstemannI series OF NUMBERS, DRESDEN CODEX 469 All these pictures are joined at the top to those rectangles of which1 have spoken in my Erlanterimgen, page 10, and which always con-tain two or three glyphs, that, with much hesitation, I was inclined tointerpret as the symbols of the sun, moon, and planets. No seriouscontradiction of this theory has thus far ensued. As the symbol of Saturn, I indicated in the article mentioned a or figure 109: These figures are actually found in all of the nine pic-tures with the exception of the first, which has no such rectangle, theplace, therefore, where the zero point is concealed, according to thetrue Maya method. But I go still farther in my bold hypothesis. The time assignedto Jupiter for its apparent revolution is 397 days. I believe that theMaj^as adopted 398 days for the period. In the article mentioned Ihave taken to be the symbol of Jupiter: c or d, figure 109. This character occurs in pictures 4, 6, 7, and 9. The numbers. / <f h i k I m n
