THE D TABLET
Also the G text has documented 'Toga Nui Fish' type glyphs. These are beginning in the day after Canopus and the last of them is where the Sun was bound to reach φ Gemini (*118.4).
... It is a faulty explanation. Anciently it was instead a picture of a wooden pole (the vertical in the middle) for carrying things on, more specifically a pole thrust through a tied sac ...
... About Carmenta we know from the historian Dionysus Periergetis that she gave orcales to Hercules and lived to the age of 110 years. 110 was a canonical number, the ideal age which every Egyptian wished to reach and the age at which, for example, the patriarch Joseph died. The 110 years were made up of twenty-two Etruscan lustra of five years each; and 110 years composed the 'cycle' taken over from the Etruscans by the Romans. At the end of each cycle they corrected irregularities in the solar calendar by intercalation and held Secular Games. 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 proportion, now known as pi, is no longer a religious secret; and is used today only as a rule-of-thumb formula, the real mathematical value of pi being a decimal figure which nobody has yet been able work out because it goes on without ever ending, as 22 / 7 does, in a neat recurring sequence [3.142857142857 ...]. Seven lustra add up to thirty-five years, and thirty-five at Rome was the age at which a man was held to reach his prime and might be elected Consul ...
Perhaps the creator of the G text wished also to here document the change from the Golden Age of the Bull to the era of Bharani (*41.4). For at the date MAY 1 (11 * 11, *41) he has drawn an eye-catching fish hook:
