VENUS CALENDAR
MYSTERY SOLVED
Harvard Scientist CorreIates
Mayas' Time Count and
True Positions.
BY the Associated Press.

bS lHt Associated Press.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. December IS.
The mystery of the Venus calen-
dar, evolved by the ancient Mayas of
Central America, has been solved by
Or. Herbert J. Spinden, curator of
Mexican archaeology on the staff of
the Peabody Museum at Harvard.
An announcement from the museum
Yesterday said that DIR. Spinden had
completed a correlation between the
strange and wonderful time count OF
the Alayas and the true astronomical
positions of the planet Venus in the
sixth century +. G.
rms achievement supplements the
discovery by DR.. Spinden two years
ago Of the secret of the Magyar time
count and Is the elimination of in

Years by members of the museum
staff
Agrees With Calendar.
DR.. Spinden's findings with regard
10 the Venus calendar of the MayaS
are IN complete agreement with those
reached for the annual calendar OF
The ancient people and for dates in
lhelr day count, according to the cor
relation with modern chronology an
nounced by the Peabody Museum two
wears ago. At that time it was shown
was August ., 6l3 +. G., when the
Mayas began to give each day It's
consecutive number and TO keep a
sharp record of celestial events, and
that the perfected annual calendar
was inaugurated in the Winter sol
stice OF $50 r. c.
DIR. Spiuden now is able to prove
that the Venus calendar of the
Mayas was put in final working order

Summer SolstiCes Of 53S and $50 b. C.
Appearance Observed
The Venus calendar depends on the
fact that Venus, holding an orbit in
side that of the earth, makes thirteen
revolutions around the sun in about
two days less than eight years. View
ed from the moving earth the planet
seems to make only five revolutions.
These being the five laps she gains
over the earth in the uneven race
10 gain a lap Venus first swings ont
through space and passes behind The
sun, where she is lost TO view ar the
enc OF the phase as morning star.
iheh' 10 oVertake, she swings wide
again and turns in between the earth
ana the sun. Approaching the end
OF her race Venus is a brilliant object
as evening star. going down into the
west soon after sunset AT the finish
she IS lost in the sunlight at inferior
conjunction only TO emerge before
surprise as morning star.
Having invented already a time
count and system of hieroglvphic
writing which gave them a means of
accurate record, the Mayas studied the
mysterious coming ard going of Venus
