I think it means five plus eight equals thirteen. The line stands for a five and the dots stand for ones also the zero looks like a shell. The symbols are numbers. Five plus three would be line plus dot dot dot.
All the ancient Mayan numbers had symbols to represent them. 1 was . , 2 was .. , 3 was ... , 4 was .... , 5 was / , 6 was /. , 7 was /.. , 8 was /... , 9 was /.... , 10 was // , 11 was //. and ext. The answer to the calculation is very simple because / is 5 , /... is 8 and //... is 13.
this ancient mayan sum is 5 add 8 = 13 also these are some ancient mayan numbers 0 is a big circle 1 is a dot 2 is 2 dots 3 is 3 dots 4 is 4 dots but 5 is one line 6 is 1 line and a dot 7 is 1 line and 2 dots 8 is a line and 3 dots 9 is a line with 4 dots and 10 i think is 2 lines out raheem ka
The equation is 5 + 8 = 13 The equation in Mayan symbols= - + -... The Mayan's had symbols to represent numbers. 1=.,2=..,3=...,4=....,5=-, 6=-.,7=-..,8=-...,9=-.... and 10=- .etc.
Mayans represented our numbers with lines and dotes.1 line represented 5 and 1 dot represented 1.So the answer to the question is 13,because there's a line so it means 5 and another line with 3 dots.Basically it's 5+8=13
One line equals 5, One dot equals 1, Therefore, two lines and three dots equals 5+5+1+1+1 = 13. The symbols all stand for numbers. How the numbers work? The Mayan system is interesting as they developed it without any contact with the other systems on this website. It is similar to the Babylonians but the Mayans chose different numbers as their bases. They used dots to represent numbers under five, so four is four dots. Five is represented by a line. So six is a line and a dot, and seven is a line and two dots, and thirteen is two lines and three dots. This is a unary system, but using five as a base rather than the more common ten. This works up to nineteen, but rather than twenty being four lines, they started a new count above the first one. Zero is represented by a shell. So twenty is a single dot above a shell. This stacking of numbers rather than having them in a line is a little disconcerting at first! You have to talk about rows rather than columns. This second system, for counting the twenties and powers of twenty, is positional, and even has a zero, to show that you have no digit in this row.

1 line = 5 and 1 dot = 1. The answer of the question 13. It's 5 + 8=13

This equation is 5+8=13.
ReplyDeleteThe symbols mean 5+8=13 because theys symbols are numbers and every line stands for a 5 and every dot stands for a 1.

ReplyDeleteMayans used . and - to represent numbers. One dot is 1,2 dots is 2,3 dots are 3,4 dots are 4 and 1 line is 5.This means the equation is 5+8+13

ReplyDeleteThe equation above is:
ReplyDelete5+8=13
The - is 5
The - with three ... is 8
The -- with three dots is 13
