f67v2: the lunar - solar tides

[DONJCH]

depict the star both six-pointed and seven-pointed at the same time

Anton,

You know I looked quite carefully with a magnifier before posting 6 points for that star, but when you questioned it and I went back, there it was! 7 points, twisting into the channels, which fork inconsistently.

This seems to me a pretty clever deliberate optical illusion to mislead the eye, maybe not for secrecy but rather as part of a game to both amuse and instruct at the same time. Like those kids' games where you count the differences between two pictures.

Also, the presence of two simultaneous meanings has been proposed many times for the VM, like Koen's discussions of the Milky Way on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. etc and the nymphs on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. etc - all Ancient Greek fables.

Seems crazy at first to our 21st Century eyes but but given a medieval mind steeped in mnemonics, your explanation seems plausible.

Since tides happen twice a day, both day and night Rulers may make sense?
