This is a very long story that spans almost 12 years, when I began reverse-engineering the Tzolk'in. Well, last week I finally clocked it. I can mathematically prove how the Tzolk'in tracks Venus, relative to Earth, as well as the Venus synodic, eclipses and lunar cycles. It is truly incredible! It will also show that although academia understands certain features/functions of the Calendar Round, the Tun, Haab and Long Count, they have absolutely no idea how it all really ties together. Sure, we can reference days based on combining the Tun with the Tzolk'in, but other than knowing the Tzolk'in repeats every 260 days (sort of--they had a leap for the Tzolk'in as well), they don't know the importance of it, and how at any point in time, you can know exactly where Venus and Earth are, what lunar cycle we are in, when the next synodic will occur, what season you are in and when the next solstice or equinox is, when the next eclipse will be, and a myriad of other incredible astronomical features. Although the 260-day gestation/agricultural cycle ritual hypothesis may correlate to the Tzolk'in, the causal nature of it is rooted in orbital mathematics and absolutely tracks Venus. The Tzolk'in is essentially an orbit calculator.
My last problem left to solve lies with the eclipses. There are two schools of thought to the Mayan eclipse tables within the Dresden Codex: One being that they simply observed eclipses for 32.767 years and recorded them, and two, that they knew how to calculate how to break their eclipses up between 177 days (6 lunar months) and 148 days (5 lunar months) with 177 day increments dominating their 11,959-day eclipse table of 69 eclipses. They could have absolutely tracked them like the Babylonians did, and noticed/realized the 18-year Saros cycle (at some point), then went from there; however, could they even observe all of these eclipses from their particular station? Another issue I have with the recorded observation hypothesis is that you can clearly see how they used the double-Tzolk'in to frame their eclipses, which wouldn't seem consistent with observation--they were clearly working the math in the Tzolk'in. It's also interesting how a total solar eclipse occurs at any given station on Earth every 360 years, which is their Tun, but that's for another day. In order to predict eclipses using an algorithm (the Tzolk'in), there would have to be a "signal" on a certain day, where a certain lunar cycle occurs on a certain day name (which would more than likely fall on some trecena of Muluk), or there is some mutually exclusive alignment of Venus/Moon on a certain day name--essentially some sort of Pythagorean Comma. I'm not sure, yet, but if there is a way to do it, I have zero doubt that it will be discovered. Even though Henri Poincare allegedly "proved" that the motions of three bodies is non-repeating, and that there is no algorithm that a human could possibly discover to solve the 3 Body Problem, it would be very easy to understand why I believe they actually knew how to compute eclipses if I disclosed how the Tzolk'in works, but everybody will know soon enough. I still struggle looking at it and comprehending how the Mayans even engineered it--it seems light-years ahead of where they should have been. It is a lot for a layman such as myself to process.
Although I have solved the Tzolk'in, I haven't quite finished wrapping everything up in a bow. I still don't quite understand the complete function of the Tun, but I don't believe it is what we think it is, which is some arbitrary way to break a year up into 20x18 parts with 5 unnamed days at the end to balance the year. They are way more advanced than that--it has a specific function in conjunction with the Tzolk'in but I can't quite figure it out yet. The Haab is the solar year, but even then, I discovered something else very interesting about how they computed the years in the Tzolk'in and how they added the leaps. I've read some scientific journal papers about the leaps, and I don't believe they actually know the entire story.
I am in the process of getting everything in order, but I believe I need help finishing it. I have the money and resources to write/publish a book; however, I am looking to collaborate with Graham and Randall Carlson because I know it could be so much greater than I could do on my own with them. I have so much information and provable mathematics that are going to blow astrophysicists, Mesoamerican scholars, skeptics, academics, et al., away. If anybody is versed in mathematics or is a writer and could help me, my screenname here is the same as my Instagram name. Thanks, y'all!
