And the numbers over there to the left... Keep counting in increments of 780 days, 10 times. And they bracket him, and even his face is in there somewhere. Yeah, that like right above the first of the hoofed guys hanging down, all three of them, the top right glyph is his face.

That is Mars, yep. He's identified in a bunch of other texts as well, but they don't always say, and he's associated with the number 780. So this gives us the context of who that guy is, and then we understand it better. Like the text of Palenque talk about Mars, and when you go to the astronomy programs, he's actually sitting in the sky where – On the dates that they're talking about.

Palenque did this crazy thing where the two farthest out planets, Jupiter and Saturn, they don't really work with the Maya or our calendar systems because they're exterior planets to us. Venus and Mercury are interior and they're you know in a tighter orbit than us around the Sun.

Yeah Mars just by weird coincidence if if that's what it is is three times 260 so it was easy for them to play the numerical games of adding Mars in they kind of double dipped him every three times they went around their main calendar but the other two are

were hard the math didn't work because they do that retrograde motion as we see them that there's a time where we're passing them that they actually look like they're going backwards in the sky night by night they do a kind of zigzag but palenque figured out how to incorporate them into the calendar by making kind of a parallel system we call the 819 calendar and it's apparent that that was developed during the time of a king named khan balam the son of pakal

And he puts together these numbers. He's the first one to show us the 819 cycle in the cross group. And there's a date that shows up again and again and again in the texts of the cross group. That's not the day that the temples are inaugurated. They're inaugurated like a year and a half later. But if you look at the date they keep talking about,

Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are in a really tight cluster in the sky that night, and all three of the temples of the cross group can see it. So it appears that his math before he built the temples was like, this is the perfect day to inaugurate this, this, this. new calendar that incorporates those. And we need to make our opening date that day.

But then just like in modern times, his contractors failed him. They were like, Oh, but King, there's been so many days of rain. And have you seen the price of wood lately? We just can't, we can't do it. And so a year and a half later, is the inauguration date, but they keep talking about that date. And for a while we were like, why are they talking about that date?
