BOWDITCH Dr Brinton, in his _Maya Chronicles_, has translated the following passages from the Book of Chilan Balam of Mani: ... in the thirteenth Ahau Ahpula died; for six years the count of the thirteenth Ahau will not be ended; the count of the year was toward the East, the month Pop began with (the day) fourth Kan; the eighteenth day of the month Zip (that is) 9 Ymix, was the day on which Ahpula died; and that the count may be known in numbers and years, it was the year 1536. In the Chilan Balam books, the katuns are named as Katun 13 Ahau, Katun 11 Ahau, etc., these being the days with which they begin or with which the previous katun ended; and as after thirteen katuns the same name is again given, this nomenclature fixes a date within a period which equals 13 multiplied by the number of days in a katun. keywords: ahau; balam; beginning; books; cauac; chilan; count; cycle; date; days; kan; katun; month; muluc; period; tuns; year; zip cache: 39683.txt plain text: 39683.txt item: #4 of 7 id: 39914 author: García Cubas, Antonio title: Reports on the Maya Indians of Yucatan date: None words: 15051 flesch: 72 summary: Nahuan _pozolatl_, or _poçol atl_, a drink of cooked corn.
