This data page illustrates a new set of time
values assigned to the five Mayan hieroglyphic time symbols. New
interpretation of these symbols have revealed data that suggest
the Maya "announced" the season and the "year" day count by using a steam-whistle box identified as a "Tun" symbol. The cascading count values of how the Maya used the "Tun" symbol gives a much smaller time-line of Mayan history than currently believed.
