[Aztlan] 7 ahau, 5 chen

[Marcelo Donadello]

I can`t find the reference (it should be in Aztlan), I can be wrong, or it can be not related in any way, but I believe that I remember the expression "seven ahau" related to that stamp that a year ago has been considered as the most ancient writing of America.
   
  Forgive my ignorance if I'm all the way out of the way.

This will be a extremely difficult date to verify unless it was miswritten
by a scribe etc. I believe that Ahau can only fall on the 3,8,13 and 18 of
a Haab month. The rationale is easy (if my understanding is correct)..We
know that 4 Ahau fell on 8 Kumku of 13.0.0.0.0 and because comes back every
20 days it must fall on 8 of every 20 day month in that Haab cycle.
Because Wayeb has only 5 days Ahau will advance to position 13 in the next
Haab cycle, then 18 in the next Haab cycle and then 3 in the next Haab cycle
and pnc;e again return for a round of 8s. This leaves no room for a "7
ahau, 5 chen"
