... In other words, the ancient Druidic religion based on the oak-cult will be swept away by Christianity and the door - the god Llyr - will languish forgotten in the Castle of Arianrhod, the Corona Borealis. This helps us to understand the relationship at Rome of Janus and the White Goddess Cardea who is ... the Goddess of Hinges who came to Rome from Alba Longa. She was the hinge on which the year swung - the ancient Latin, not the Etruscan year - and her importance as such is recorded in the Latin adjective cardinalis - as we say in English 'of cardinal importance - which was also applied to the four main winds; for winds were considered as under the sole direction of the Great Goddess until Classical times ...

... Strassmeier and Epping, in their Astronomishes aus Babylon, say that there its stars formed the third of the twenty-eight ecliptic constellations, - Arku-sha-rishu-ku, literally the Back of the Head of Ku, - which had been established along that great circle milleniums before our era; and Lenormant quotes, as an individual title from cuneiform inscriptions, Dil-kar, the Proclaimer of Dawn, that Jensen reads As-kar, and others Dil-gan, the Messenger of Light. George Smith inferred from the tablets that it might be the Star of the Flocks; while other Euphratean names have been Lu-lim, or Lu-nit, the Ram's Eye; and Si-mal or Si-mul, the Horn star, which came down even to late astrology as the Ram's Horn. It also was Anuv, and had its constellation's titles I-ku and I-ku-u, - by abbreviation Ku, - the Prince, or the Leading One, the Ram that led the heavenly flock, some of íts titles at a different date being applied to Capella of Auriga. Brown associates it with Aloros, the first of the ten mythical kings of Akkad anterior to the Deluge, the duration of whose reigns proportionately coincided with the distances apart of the ten chief ecliptic stars beginning with Hamal, and he deduces from this kingly title the Assyrian Ailuv, and hence the Hebrew Ayil; the other stars corresponding to the other mythical kings being Alcyone, Aldebaran, Pollux, Regulus, Spica, Antares, Algenib, Deneb Algedi, and Scheat ...

The creation of Sampo was a final and good result after several other attempts had been unsuccessful (it was stated in Kalevala):

... On the first day of their labour // He himself, smith Ilmarinen, // Stooped him down, intently gazing, // To the bottom of the furnace, // If perchance amid the fire // Something brilliant had developed.

From the flames there rose a crossbow, // Golden bow from out the furnace; // 'Twas a gold bow tipped with silver, // And the shaft shone bright with copper.

And the bow was fair to gaze on, // But of evil disposition // And a head each day demanded, // And on feast-days two demanded, // He himself, smith Ilmarinen, // Was not much delighted with it, // So he broke the bow to pieces, // Cast it back into the furnace.

And a plough rose from the furnace, // With the ploughshare golden-shining, // Golden share, and frame of copper, // And the handles tipped with silver.

And the plough was fair to gaze on, // But of evil disposition; // Ploughing up the village cornfields, // Ploughing up the open meadows,

Therefore did smith Ilmarinen // Take no slightest pleasure in it. // And he broke the plough to pieces, // Cast it back into the furnace,

And a boat rose from the furnace, // From the heat rose up a red boat, // And the prow was golden-coloured, // And the rowlocks were of copper.

And the boat was fair to gaze on, // But of evil disposition; // It would go to needless combat, // And would fight when cause was lacking,

And a heifer then rose upward, // With her horns all golden-shining, // With the Bear-stars on her forehead; // On her head appeared the Sun-disc. And the cow was fair to gaze on, // But of evil disposition; // Always sleeping in the forest, // On the ground her milk she wasted. Therefore did smith Ilmarinen, // Take no slightest pleasure in her, // And he cut the cow to fragments, // Cast her back into the furnace ...

Number 421 corresponded to 365 + 56 (= 408 + 13 = 395 + 26 = 165 + 256, etc) and here was Alcyone. And here we will better understand the reasons for 421 glyphs on side a of the B tablet.

We can now better appreciate the number play between 3-25 (→ Council of Nicaea) and 5-25 (cfr Bb3-25). For 3-25 points at March 25, the Julian date for spring equinox, and 5-25 should then represent both May 25 and the year for the Council of Nicaea:

... When Julius Caesar established his calendar in 45 BC he set March 25 as the spring equinox. Since a Julian year (365.25 days) is slightly longer than an actual year the calendar drifted with respect to the equinox, such that the equinox was occurring on about 21 March in AD 300 and by AD 1500 it had reached 11 March. This drift induced Pope Gregory XIII to create a modern Gregorian calendar. The Pope wanted to restore the edicts concerning the date of Easter of the Council of Nicaea of AD 325. (Incidentally, the date of Easter itself is fixed by an approximation of lunar cycles used in the Hebraic calendar, but according to the historian Bede the English name 'Easter' comes from a pagan celebration by the Germanic tribes of the vernal - spring - equinox.)

Due to the precession since the times of the Greek the Pleiades had evidently floated 8 weeks further down in the river of time.

... The Abipones of the Paraguay River country consider them their great Spirit Groaperikie, or Grandfather; and in the month of May, on the reappearance of the constellation, they welcome their Grandfather back with joyful shouts, as if he had recovered from sickness, with the hymn, 'What thanks do we owe thee! And art thou returned at last? Ah! Thou hast happily recovered!' and then proceed with their festivities in honor of the Pleiades' reappearance ...

... 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. (The same age was fixed upon by a Classically-minded Convention as the earliest at which an American might be elected President of the United States.) ...
