K8757 shows the Tau-eyed god in a circular blaze of glory between two turtles
connected by a serpent.
That seems to agree with the Greenwich Observatory paper November 7, 2007
about the Ring Nebula in Lyra, once called the Turtle. (Hopi Prophecies of the
Bear Clan.)
Thompson, Eric (1970)"an informant told Thompson that once the 'turtle'
constellation was in the square of Orion."(p. 116)
That would also make the Tau-eye refer to not the [true] sun, but
the [false] sun who battled with the blue comet. Both emerged from the bursting
star that finally formed the Ring Nebula. The blue comet lost its color when the
Twins, Hunahpu and Xbalenque replaced it blue "teeth" with white maize kernels.
Hence the Tau-eyed glyph is just another name for Quetzalcoatl or any other
avian/fire-serpent, such as the one illustrated on the wall of Chichen Itza,
the lower steps of the Copan stairs. Seven Macaw seems to be the other end of
the serpent or another version of K'awiil.
David Stuart, working on the Copan Stairs, with other archaeologists,
drew out the "Tau-eyed" [false] sun god as the front head of a serpentine text
that went up the steps and over a platform, coming down on the other side and
ending in a Macaw head: An avian/serpent image, that sometimes shows the K'awiil
serpent-legged god instead of a macaw image. It is also the [false] sun because
it is the end of a fire-serpent image.
Karl Taube also indicated that this type serpent is part of a double headed,
avian/serpent fire god with a Macaw-head (or other avian or humanoid form) at
its tail and it comes from the flower path . . . the Milky Way. Lyra is situated
in that area.
An interesting aspect of the avian/fire serpent is emerging from the above
information. The missing link is the Aztec Sun Stone. It has around its rim two
fire serpents (avian in nature, but no wings included). What if the Sun Stone
is no more than the complete story about the two comets that were in the sky for
the calendar length of time indicated by the month glyphs? That would explain
the central iconography of Coatlique who is not only the mother of Huitzilopochtli
but also the "filth eater."
K7287 shows a turtle skelton with a "venus" glyph earflare and a fish nibbling
the flowers (stars) of the Milky Way.
K4539 has a text explaining the event that came flaming from the northern skies, dark and red maybe corn but instead probably many fire stones [sent by] the lady ajaw, creating a dark sun lord (Seven Macaw) with his serpent eye earplug. the wavering fire path at the rainbow stairway, with the dark red [false] sun as a hag fish ajaw (as a serpent belt on Seibal Stela 13)
K5457 is a ceramic bell-footed (noise maker) bowl with what seems to be a top cover.
The iconography consists of two line drawings of a fro, one atop the other,
between two slanted rows of star forms. Again, there is a reference to a star
event with frogs. Frogs, who are raucous and who leap in and out of the water
rapidly.
It is God C, with green mottled frog-type skin, found in the Paris
Codex (Codex Peresiana) on pages 15 through 18. On page 15, his
green mottled body is at the very top of a tree with flowers that sits in
a double wave of water. . . Tamoanchan of the Milky Way?
K0634 is strange because the person within the cartouche is wearing a conch
shell helmet. One arm is outstretched holding what is possibly an atl or
spearthrower.
The background is either a straw (paja) mat or the shell of a turtle (Lyra).
This is reminiscent of the Aztec picture of five men with long robes in
a row all wearing conch shell helmets. The only other place I have seen conch
shell helmets were drawn by da Vinci. It was on a wall with war-like figures
on it that had been covered up, and was just recently (in 1977) excavated.
