Bb12-8 Once again. Although in time-space (Pacha) it would not be strange to illustrate Bb7-12 to the right of Bb12-45
we who are living in a modern global civilization surely would feel more comfortable to let time always run from left to right in a linear fashion (the arrow of time).
It is hard to here avoid associating (↔) the sum 39 + 49 = 88 with the number of completed notches on the ancient mammoth bone. On the bone there was a fraction to be added to 49 and 202 + 50 = 252 = 3 * 84 (→ 13 * 29½ + ½). From Betelgeuze located down in the southern hemisphere a straight line should be drawn ahead (or backwards), in order to measure out 366 / 2 = 183 days, leading to the right ascension line connected with the star Etamin at the Head of the Dragon high up in the north.
Similarly it was possible to move from Adhil
in Andromeda 183 days in either direction in
order to find the right ascension line which
connected Spica with Alcor high up
in Ursa Major.
... Proclus informs us that the fox star nibbles
continuously at the thong of the yoke which
holds together heaven and earth; German folklore
adds that when the fox succeeds, the world will
come to its end. This fox star is no other than
Alcor, the small star g near zeta Ursae
Majoris (in India Arundati, the common
wife of the Seven Rishis, alpha-eta Ursae ...
Indeed the astronomers needed a net of equidistant straight lines half a year apart in order to work with the nakshatra system.
