The 'Chinese' Theory: For and Against

[Linda]

But the VMS diagrams do show 360 "things" in the year -- not 365, not 365.25; and the small diagrams have 15 things, while the large ones have 30 things. Never 31.  

So those "things" are not days.  What are they?

I saw you guys talking about this, and it sparked me to research something I was thinking about with regard to that section, and I came across a number that seemed pretty coincidental.

A Platonic Year, also known as the Great Year, is a complete cycle of the precession of the equinoxes, estimated at approximately 25,772 to 25,920 years.

but then it said at some point in time another faction had a similar theory and their number was 36,000 years. But I don't know the specifics of who or when.

I just looked it up again and this time it said:

Key Facts About the Platonic Year: Duration: While modern astronomy estimates the precession cycle at roughly 25,800 years, Plato referenced a "Great Year" that ancient traditions sometimes approximated at 36,000 years

So could each 'thing' be a century, rather than a day? If the tubs are thought to be architecture, and the clothes as culture, it is notable that there is none of this portrayed past the Gemini rondel, the rest is all portrayed as nomadic, without further accoutrements, humans in their natural state. It would explain starting with Pisces as it was then and still is the current age.
