RIGEL
 

Should we now draw a straight line down from Alcyone (the Queen of Sailing) in the Pleades

... another Alcyone, daughter of Pleione, 'Queen of Sailing', by the oak-hero Atlas, was the mystical leader of the seven Pleiads. The heliacal rising of the Pleiads in May marked the beginning of the navigational year; their setting marked its end when (as Pliny notices in a passage about the halcyon) a remarkably cold North wind blows ...

... And strange to say, the sun, before being devoured by Fenrir, will have borne a daughter, no less beautiful and going the same ways as her mother ...

to Rigel (the Foot of Orion) and use the Julian spring equinox as origo, we ought to count (78 - 4) - (56 - 4) = 74 - 52 = 22.

...  The secret sense of 22 - sacred numbers were never chosen haphazardly - is that it is the measure of the circumference of the circle when the diameter is 7 ...

This is the right ascensiion distance from Alcyone to Rigel. This is the distance which is relevant for the Julian calendar and also for the revision launched by the Pope Gregory XIII.

... So the shift in the date of the equinox that occurred between the 4th and the 16th centuries was annulled with the Gregorian calendar, but nothing was done for the first four centuries of the Julian calendar. The days of 29 February of the years AD 100, AD 200, AD 300, and the day created by the irregular application of leap years between the assassination of Caesar and the decree of Augustus re-arranging the calendar in AD 8, remained in effect. This moved the equinox four days earlier than in Caesar's time ...

52 (Alcyone) + 11 = 74 (Rigel) - 11 = 63 (nine weeks).

And the cycle of Mars (780 ↔ 3 * 26(0) = ↔ 78) had 75 (= 385 - 310) nights of retrograde motion 780 - 2 * 75 = 63(0) → 9 weeks.

... Counting glyphs from Ga1-1 onwards with no interruption all the way to Gb7-4 we will result in 229 (on side a) + 185 (on side b) = 414 in all, which seems to imply we have mastered the art of addition (ambition), because the current right ascension position of the Bharani star was *41.4. Zero had not been invented because there was no need for it, and the same goes for the carriage wheel. Only the potter's wheel was important ...

We can compare with the distance from 93 Leonis (*178) to Vrischika (*178 + *63):

However, disregarding the Sun for the moment we can below see that according to the stars of the night it was not the Bull (Aldebaran) which was complementary to the Scorpion (Antares) - it was Orion.

And it was not Aquarius which was complementary to Leo but Pegasus.

Andromeda (Sirrah) belonged in the quadrant ruled by Pegasus. The number of months depended on varous factors, but the quadrants should have been more easy to agree upon.

... In north Asia the common mode of reckoning is in half-year, which are not to be regarded as such but form each one separately the highest unit of time: our informants term them 'winter year' and 'summer year'. Among the Tunguses the former comprises 6½ months, the latter 5, but the year is said to have 13 months; in Kamchatka each contains six months, the winter year beginning in November, the summer year in May; the Gilyaks on the other hand give five months to summer and seven to winter. The Yeneseisk Ostiaks reckon and name only the seven winter months, and not the summer months ...

... Whare-patari, who is credited with introducing the year of twelve months into New Zealand, had a staff with twelve notches on it. He went on a visit to some people called Rua-roa (Long pit) who were famous round about for their extensive knowledge. They inquired of Whare how many months the year had according to his reckoning. He showed them the staff with its twelve notches, one for each month. They replied: 'We are in error since we have but ten months. Are we wrong in lifting our crop of kumara (sweet potato) in the eighth month?' Whare-patari answered: 'You are wrong. Leave them until the tenth month ...

 ... Far away, the Mangaians of old (Austral Islands, Polynesia), who kept the precessional clock running instead of switching over to 'signs', claim that only at the evening of the solstitial days can spirits enter heaven, the inhabitants of the northern parts of the island at one solstice, the dwellers in the south at the other ... Considering the fact that the crossroads of ecliptic and Galaxy are crisis-resistant, that is, not concerned with the Precession, the reader may want to know why the Mangaians thought they could go to heaven only on the two solstitial days. Because, in order to 'change trains' comfortably, the constellations that serve as 'gates' to the Milky Way must 'stand' upon the 'earth', meaning that they must rise heliacally either at the equinoxes or at the solstices ...

From 93 Leonis (*178) to Sirrah (*336) there were *158 right ascension nights. Or better: 178 + 365 - 336 = 543 - 336 = 207 (→ 100 + 107) days → JULY 26 (Ga5-17).

But from Vrischika (*241) to Sirrah (*336) the distance was significantly 95 days:

Furthermore, Perseus seems to stride across a Pegasus square with 9 dark nights, which, reasonably, should correspond to a point of turning the coin (tablet) around if we should translate days (north of the equator) into weeks (on Easter Island):

And Hyadum II could be at the 'channel' in the center of the 'vortex'. 191 (Porrima) - 64 (Hyadum II) = 127 (Ga5-17) → 207 - 80.
