Here is a series of Images I have derived from the Tomb lid

The first thing that I noticed was the lack of Symmetry.. The Mayans culture was "well" known for its ability to produce such precise measurements when aligning the stones used to build the culture they made, that you could not even get a piece of paper between each stone.

That said, then "why" do we have an Asymmetrical carving instead?. other forms of glyphs they used were consistent and deviated very little from intended design so again it comes to the question of "why" was this particular design chosen to be carved into the very lid of the tomb of the first major ruler of the Mayan culture?

Pakal would have been at every moment of its inception insuring it was to Pakals design (seeing as he had no "home yet to speak of as this tomb had to be built prior to the house itself)

Under this "guise" I proceeded to notice other details of the design itself that began to show themselves to me. It first became obvious to me the asymmetrical component of the design was not just one particular instance, but many. It is in fact a amalgamation of multiple images overlaid into one final template take for example the above image. It has two distinct images occupying a relative position within the template itself (the line denotes a single split based upon relative positioning using existing lines within the image itself)



In this next example we see that the symmetrical value of the design disappears along the central axis which is a good sign of a multiple picture overlay involved in fact the lack of symmetry is so obviously done, that is could not have been anything else except "intended" as to its purpose I am still working with that myself. But the results are rather interesting.

Mayans believed in cycles, therefore following the same form of logic, they would have designed something like this in a cycling methodology, meaning they would have had enough of an advanced understanding of the laws of physics that they would have known that even if you traveled the earth in a complete circle, you will not end up at the exact same place you started, you will in fact end up "parallel" to were you started from. That said, it seems that they understood enough to be able to overlay images upon one another before actually carving the lid of the tomb itself.

Though this lid may seem to be highly stylized, I believe it to show a more intelligent understanding of phase drifting whereby you produce images of off centered value from the previous one, and set it to a "circular" event whereby the final image is placed exactly were it would be upon completion of the cycle itself. Hers the "rub"

The markings on the side boarders of the lid are not translatable into any Mayan language to date. I therefore wonder if it is in fact a "language" at all but a set of "primers" used to encode the data upon the lid itself (used by the carvers per Pakals instructions)

Now I am going to approach this with a "linear" slicing mentality, meaning that I will slice the image based upon "four" rotations (i.e. 0, 90, 180, 270 degrees) using basic Adobe Photoshop for each single "section" I take from the internal image itself. this alone will determine if the image is based in cycles because I will effectively be "cutting across" multiple images in the process. the results will be slightly skewed as information is concerned, however the "symmetry" will be comeplete rather then remaining "asymmetrical"
