Kaj glyph/logogram?
Hi! I just want to check that this is “kaj” and means to settle, resettle, begin, start? I found it on mayaglyphs.org but when I’ve searched for “kaj” and “Mayan” the results all seem to be part of “Heart of the Sky” or referring to a god named “Huracan.”

Is Sibikte' (the patron of Pax) a solar deity? He has the singular tooth like K'inich Ajaw, GI, and the JGU.

How to say the days of the Tzolkin calendar?
For example, Oct 13, 2024 would have been "2 Ix" on the Tzolk'in calender, but how would one actually pronounce that in Yucatec Mayan? Would it just be "Ka'a Ix" or, because Ix refers to an animal, would the number use the ending of "túul" and be "Ka'a-túul Ix?" This started out as simple curiosity but now I haven't been able to find the answer for the life of me. Thanks in advance :)

Mayan face sculpture?
Chimney was replaced in a 1954 house built by an architecture. This was in the Chimney. Is it a flute for the chimney or what is the sculpture associated with? So curious.

Hello people!! Im new to Reddit :)
Hello, Im hamster. Im an independent artist in a rural area with a lack of resources but really want to do a world building project based off Mayan culture. I’d love if any of you could give me recommendations for free educational materials for Mayan historical clothing, hair, etc. My internet is horrible and I can’t find anything. I made a Reddit account specifically to ask this, lol.
