Description: Dating the eclipse table of the Dresden Codex, with solution of the correlation problem. Technical.
DATING THE ECLIPSE TABLE OF THE DRESDEN CODEX In the exploration of the Maya culture two different fields evolved which could not have been more contrary. Decoding the hieroglyphs started with only slight success but progressed rapidly during the last decades. The problem, however, consisting in how the Maya calendar correlates with our time measurement, was a direct hit from the very beginning, because Goodman’s first proposal is still valid after nearly one century – provided a difference of 3 – 5 days is neglected. Goodman´s correlation constant of 584280 is no longer "en vogue", the dispute has focussed on 584283 and 584285 and these values known as "GMT" received acknowledgement by the majority of Maya researchers.
