TOK.p23.r1.c4 = AT-E1168-lecture16.t0:00:50 = AT-E1168-lecture6.t0:42:12
· AT-E1168-lecture16.t0:00:50:
o The head of the Maize God.
o Also read as IXIIM.
· AT-E1168-lecture6.t0:42:12:
o Also read as JUN, the number “1” .
o Represents “1” because maize is the most primary food of the Maya (and rest of Mesoamerica).
· Easy to confuse with IX/IXIK. The differences are (AT-E1168-lecture16.t0:01:09):
o There is a “jewel” in the forehead.
o There is a “protected scroll” instead of hair in the top right – hair would be a cross-hatched round or oval element.
o There can be one or more long strands (probably representing the corn husk) with (optionally) three touching dots (representing maize kernels).
