THE D TABLET
Line Da7 carries 16 glyphs, and together with those 6 in line
Da8 the number becomes 22 (→ π):

I
decided to above divide the text on side a of the tablet in to
104 days followed by 22 (which together with 86 on side b will
amount to 108. I.e. in a way a statement that 212
(total number of days documented on the D tablet) can be
understood as 104 + 108.
22 days counted from Da7-1 will begin at the hind quarters of
Leo (the Puma):
... There was no water in the village.
The lakes and rivers were dry.
Raven and Crow, two young girls who were having their
first menstrual courses, were told to go and draw water from
the ocean. Finding the journey too long, Raven decided just
to urinate into her basket-bucket. She decieved no one and
was severly scolded. Crow returned much later but with
drinking water. As a punishment, Raven was condemned never
to find water in the summer; only in winter would she find
something to drink. For that reason the Raven never drinks
during the hot months; she speaks with a raucous voice
because of her dry throat ...

The 'change of sex' means a change in orientation - as when an
image is reflected in the surface of a mirror. By counting
withershins from the end of line Da6 the arithmetic will become
104 (side a) + side b (86) = 190 (→
2 * 95 → 10 * 29½). Mother Nature does not play with dice,
instead beyond the hiding cloth everything is governed by law
and order.

... The month, which takes its name
from Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th and ends
of July 7th. Midway comes St. John's Day, June 24th, the
day on which the oak-king was sacrificially burned
alive. The Celtic year was divided into two halves with
the second half beginning in July, apparently after a
seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in the oak-king's
honour ... |

... 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 ...
... Ecclesiastically,
the equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (even though
the equinox occurs, astronomically speaking, on 20 March
in most years) ... |
