[Aztlan] Copan Note 25, Stela E

[lahunik.62 at skynet.be]

In her Copan Note nr.25, Linda Scheele wrote, about Stela E, that the
glyphic text of the Lunar Series giving a Moon Age of 0 days.

Therefore she proposed 2 possible LC-dates for the notation for Stela E that
is badly damaged: 9.5.0.0.0.0 and 9.5.15.0.0.

But 9.5.0.0.0.0, 11 Ahaw 18 Sek, July 3 534AD, has a Moon Age of 7,0 days,
and 9.5.10.0.0, 10 Ahaw 8 Sip, May 11 544AD, has a Moon Age of 4,3 days.

So she concluded that the second LC-date must be the most likely candidate
for Stela E.

But there are in fact 2 possible candidates with a Moon Age of 0 days:

1.   09.15.17.5.0, 10 Ahaw 8 Sak, August 30 748AD, Moon Age 0,5 days.

2.   10.2.6.10.0, 10 Ahaw 8 Wo, January 31 876AD, Moon Age 0,3 days.

The second date of January 31 876AD is, in my opinion, not a very acceptable
date, because of the Copan center was allready abondonned by the royals
around 984AD.

But the first date, on the other hand, is more likely, because this date
felt around the year rulership was changed between the 14th Ruler "Moke
Monkey" and the 15th Ruler "Smoke Shell".
