I saw this article which shows the disc as evolving over time, with many changes.


I think something has got lost from the text or in the translation , there is no explanation of the "rule" which looks like it is central to solving the intercalary month problem . The mention of 82 in relation to the sun is said te be represented by the solstice extremes at that latitude but there is nearly 20 degrees difference . There are other suggestions that it shows something entirely different ,an eclipse . But still the seven dots don't look like the sisters , was the number enough ??
