Dr. Martin Sweatman theorizes the V-shapes on Pillar 43 form a 365-day solar calendar: 14 double V-shapes with alternating vertical orientation plus 1 single V at the end total 365 symbols matching a solar year. Similar marking patterns appear on Paleolithic flutes. 📅
Key facts claimed:
- 15 V-shapes at top represent one lunar month of 29-30 days
- 11 boxes underneath represent 11 lunar months totaling 354 days
- 10 additional V-shapes bring total to 364 days
- Small V on vulture's neck represents summer solstice totaling 365 days
