To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The third tablet bears the symbol of the rain-god Tlaloc, in memory of the destruction of the world from frequent rains. The last tablet represents the fourth destruction by a flood on Nahui Atl in the year Ce Calli. The faces of Cox Cox, the Mexican Noah, and his wife are delineated in the picture. The symbol for water is seen imme- diately below the faces. Between the two lower tablets, two small quadrilateral enclosures will be observed, each containing five round points, supposed to mean 10... Ollin (the sun being called ollin tonatiuli). Below the lower tablets and almost in contact with the next concentric circle are the hieroglyphics 1. Quiahuitl and 2. Ozomatli. The first, namely 10 Ollin, cor- responds with our twenty-second of September in the first year of a cycle, and its hieroglyphic on this astronomical disk repre- sents the autumnal equinox. At the extreme top of the Calendar Stone is a central figure, well known to be the hieroglyphic for 13 Acatl. This fact known, the interpretation of the two remaining symbols is easy.
