Source records

What each source published, side by side. A row whose values differ across the sources is marked: the archive prints the disagreement rather than choosing a winner.

Texts

1 document(s), each attached to the record whose page hosts it. These are other people's words: quoted here in short attributed extract, with a link to the page that published each one in full.

Claims about this formation

21 claim(s) extracted by lexicon from the texts above, written by Marc Smulders. A claim row is a record of what an author wrote, with the sentence verbatim. It is not evidence about the formation, and nothing here is tested on this page.

Up to 3 quote(s) per type, verbatim from the document:

• “This relates to a transit of Mercury at the descending note on March 9-10, -3113 (proleptic Gregorian calendar; April 4-5 Julian, 3114 BC historical).” calendar · Marc Smulders · source page
• “End of “Tun”, relating to Long Count” calendar · Marc Smulders · source page
• “The Mayan Long Count started on February 13, -3113, while the completion of the erection of the World Tree happened on 4 Ahau, 8 Cumku, which is August 11, -3113. There are 180 days between both events.” calendar · Marc Smulders · source page
• “In a few cases there may be a few days difference like is the case regarding the transit of Mercury that took place two days before the formation.” astronomical · Marc Smulders · source page
• “Transit of Mercury at the descending node” astronomical · Marc Smulders · source page
• “This relates to a transit of Mercury at the descending note on March 9-10, -3113 (proleptic Gregorian calendar; April 4-5 Julian, 3114 BC historical).” astronomical · Marc Smulders · source page
• “Although the dates/months of both transits (in 2016 and -3113) are different, the background of the sun and Mercury to the stars was almost the same (close to the Pleiades).” authorship_et · Marc Smulders · source page

Geometry

2 diagram file(s) on this page. measured from the diagram itself, and experimental: the extractor's rotational order is right on 88.8 % of a 200-diagram hand-labelled set against a gate of 90 %, so read a number here beside the picture rather than instead of it.

Experimental, and marked ≈ wherever it appears. These numbers are read off a drawing, not off the field: the extractor's rotational order agrees with a hand-labelled set on 88.8 per cent of 200 diagrams against a gate of 90 per cent, its element count is within one on 97.5 per cent, and its ring count is not calibrated at all. Nothing in the analysis tree is derived from the rotational order while that gate is unmet.

Diagrams that look like these: cc 625e753f— the nearest by perceptual hash. The whole archive is browsable by shape in the shape section, and this formation's own diagrams go straight into that grid: show them in the grid.
