Bodley, Page 17, Register Five The date here is Year3 House,4 Eagle which records the marriage of 9 House "Tiger-Torch-Heaven" and 3 Rabbit or "Xolotl-Thread. (Caso, p. 80)

[Here what is being read as "house' is actually a "sweatbath." Caso's designation of Xolotl appears to actually be a Nuhu with fangs bound to a star grid.]

Register V-18: Caso ignored completely the Jewel Winged Bird flying over Tilantongo with three flint stones tied together with a rope, connected a date of 2 Serpent, 6 Reed. Footprints over the city platform lead to Flower/Fruit Mountain and the Temple of the Stars.

[Three flint stones, either signifies the 3 Flint entity, or, using the rope as a binder of the year, it could signify that meteorites fell over the land for three nights, as the Bird sped on its way to Popocatepetl, the dormant "warrior" volcano of the Sun where the star observatory was located.] Register V-18 we continue to Year 4 House (again "sweatbath") (probably 5 Reed) 2 Water. In this year we have the birth of 2 Water or "Xiuhcoatl-Torch-Stars."

[In de Molina's dictionary, Xuihtl translates as "year - comet - turquoise." The three stars at the end of the flaming torch, may indicate the area between a constellation called the Summer Triangle, which had an abundance of red and yellow stars and could be related to the "Oven of the Gods," found in the Aztec poem "Birth of the FIfth Sun." These stars can not be seen without a telescope now, but if the skies were in active revolt, it may have been possible to have seen them in ancient times.

So if the above is possible, it is the first appearance of a comet called the Turquoise Serpent. And since the Bodley actually does show "House" as a year sign, (on lamina 10) we might be able to justify the sweathouse designation by saying "during the time of extreme heat over the land."]

Caso expands on this geneology on a different page (p. 46) by adding the birth of two females: 13 Flint (or Quetzal Jewel) and 5 Eagle (or Flower Serpent).

[Missing from this geneology is the first picture on the page which follows through from page 16, where a pair of twins are born. One is named 10 Water (or Wall-Xolotl-Rhomb).]

he marries our first pictured 11 Serpent (or Grey Eagle "Tlachtli" [Sahágun's translation of this word is "Ball Court"]) from the River of the Gold Bead while her sister is shown here in the second picture as 10 Water (or Wall-Tlaloc-Rhomb) who marries 13 TIger (or War Beard) from the town of Skull-Battlement (probably Mictlantongo.)

[The term Rhomb is another name for the woven "eye of God" so prevalent in Mexico. The three births at the end of page 18 are all associated with either the year, or with a star form attached to each umbilical cords.]

[Since the Quetzal bird is an independent glyph more than once within these two pages, it is more likely that it was a bird identified with URI in Hawaii. This bird was part of the wing in the Northern Cross, sometimes called Cygnus, the Swan. When this jeweled star reached the Yucatan, it became not part of the wing, but instead, a jewel in the beak of a bird sitting in a tree, which jewel was shot out by Hunanphu and Ixbalanque, the Hero Twins of the Popol Vuh.]

[If it was a sky event, the tree is no other than the Milky Way where Cygnus, the Swan, is located in the sky. In subsequent glyphs we will see this tree again on these pages.]Go to Register Four
