What do Tun and Mars have to do with each other?

You just need to read White Chested Fox's math brag to understand it!

I think that in effect this text is just a guy bragging about finding divisors of 2920 that happened to have cultural significance.

It's like finding that 42 (meaning of everything), 67 (six seven) and 69 (nice) all divide 1991 (they probably don't), and then writing it down because it seems cool.
