[Aztlan] Dresden Codex Eclipse Table

Sat Jul 10 13:33:58 CDT 2010

Thanks Carlos for confirming that someone else has found that the Dresden
Codex Eclipse Table can be used to measure solar eclipse intervals and
patterns with 100% accuracy. Your mention of 2000 to 2032 CE is also
appreciated.

For those who have less experience with the Dresden Codex: A set of 69
intervals are listed on pages 51-58 of the Dresden Codex that can be used to
determine in sequence when a solar eclipse will occur somewhere on the
Earth, to within a day or so. The date 9.16.4.10.8 (Nov 755 CE GMT) is given
on page 51 and is considered by most researchers to be the base (start) date
of this table. When this date is recognized by terminal dating as the
"ending date" of one run of the table, rather than the starting date, the
table works for all solar eclipse during the period (Feb 732 - Dec 755 CE).
Also on page 51 is given a set of multiples of this 32.75 eclipse period
(11960 days), with the highest being 39 times (3.4.15.12.0 = 466440 days).
39 times 32.75 years gives a total of 1277+ years for the extended eclipse
table. Notice how 732 + 1277 = 2000 and 755 + 1277 = 2032.

The accumulated totals of the stated intervals in the Eclipse Table are also
given in the codex. For example, the 22nd total is (10.10.9 = 3809) and the
July 11, 2010 solar eclipse is 3809 days after a Feb 5, 2000 solar eclipse.
Other examples include the 26th (12.8.9 = 4488) and 27th (12.17.5 =
4665) totals forecasting the May 20, 2012 and Nov 11, 2012 solar
eclipses expected to occur 4488 and 4665, respectively, after the Feb 5,
2000 solar eclipse.

The other earlier culture that worked with "zero" was in India. They
regarded the Moon's Nodes with enough respect to treat them similar to the
visible planets. They were named Rahu and Ketu and associated with the
Dragon's Head and Tail. Does anyone else have a lead on how the Maya may
have followed the movement of the Moon's Nodes? Having such a sophisticated
eclipse technology, they must have had a way.
