Bb4.9
The last glyph in line Bb4 is number 584 in the text, which probably alludes
to the synodic cycle of 584 days for Venus. Bb4-42 (584)
corresponded to January 8 and there were 8 days of invisiblity
before Venus returned as Morning Star.
January was named after Janus and the Carmenta Festival was in
early January:
... Janus was perhaps not originally
double-headed: he may have borrowed this peculiarity from the
Goddess herself who at the Carmentalia, the Carmenta Festival in
early January, was addressed by her celebrants as 'Postvorta'
and 'Antevorta' - 'she who looks both back and forward' ...
Right ascension *110 counted from
0h (March 21) was the place in the night sky which could be observed at the Full Moon in January
8 (373 = 190 + 183).
... About Carmenta
we know from the historian Dionysus Periergetis that she gave
oracles 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.) ...
July 4
was day number 185 counted from January 1 and 185 + 183 = 368 (=
373 - 5) was the day number for January 3.
The star Al-zirr
(the Navel Button, ξ Gemini, at the right foot of Pollux) was at
the Full Moon in January 3. According to the Era of Bharani this
star rose with the Sun in day 144 (= 12 * 12), i.e. in "May 24 (*64 =
8 * 8).
The first glyph in line
Bb4 corresponded to November 28, which on Hawaii was regarded as the
date for the
beginning of the cycle of Lono. November 28 (332) + 41 (→
41 Arietis = Bharani) = 373 (January 8).
... The correspondence between the winter solstice and the
kali'i rite of the Makahiki is arrived at as follows:
ideally, the second ceremony of 'breaking the coconut', when the
priests assemble at the temple to spot the rising of the
Pleiades, coincides with the full moon (Hua
tapu) of the twelfth lunar month (Welehu). In the
latter eighteenth century, the Pleiades appear at sunset on 18
November. Ten days later (28 November), the Lono effigy
sets off on its circuit, which lasts twenty-three days, thus
bringing the god back for the climactic battle with the king on
21 December, the solstice (= Hawaiian 16 Makali'i). The
correspondence is 'ideal' and only rarely achieved, since it
depends on the coincidence of the full moon and the crepuscular
rising of the Pleiades ...

... Menkaure was allegedly a much
more benevolent Pharaoh than his
predecessors. According to legends
related by Herodotus, he wrote the
following: This Prince (Mycerinus)
disapproved of the conduct of his
father, reopened the temples and allowed
the people, who were ground down to the
lowest point of misery, to return to
their occupations and to resume the
practice of sacrifice. His justice in
the decision of causes was beyond that
of all the former kings. The Egyptians
praise him in this respect more highly
than any other monarchs, declaring that
he not only gave his judgements with
fairness, but also, when anyone was
dissatisfied with his sentence, made
compensation to him out of his own purse
and thus pacified his anger. The Gods
however ordained that Egypt should
suffer tyrannical rulers for a hundred
and fifty years according to this
legend. Herodotus goes on: An oracle
reached him from the town of Buto,
which said 'six years only shalt thou
live upon this earth, and in the seventh
thou shalt end thy days'. Mycerinus,
indignant, sent an angry message to the
oracle, reproaching the god with his
injustice - 'My father and uncle,' he
said 'though they shut up the temples,
took no thought of the gods and
destroyed multitudes of men,
nevertheless enjoyed a long life; I, who
am pious, am to die soon!' There came in
reply a second message from the oracle -
'for this very reason is thy life
brought so quickly to a close - thou
hast not done as it behoved thee. Egypt
was fated to suffer affliction one
hundred and fifty years - the two kings
who preceded thee upon the throne
understood this - thou hast not
understood it'. Mycerinus, when
this answer reached him, perceiving that
his doom was fixed, had lamps prepared,
which he lighted every day at eventime,
and feasted and enjoyed himself
unceasingly both day and night, moving
about in the marsh-country and the
woods, and visiting all the places he
heard were agreeable sojourns. His wish
was to prove the oracle false, by
turning night into days and so living
twelve years in the space of six ...

Am häufigsten tritt das Zeichen 200
[GD15, tagata] auf. Es gibt eine
stehende Menschenfigur wieder, deren
Enface-Kopf mit dreieckig oder
schleifenförmig stilisierten Ohren
dargestellt wird. Diese Gestalt
mit dem Lautwert 'tangata' ist
der Gundtyp fûr den Mann und für den
Menschen schlechthin. Einzeln und zu
mehreren, vereint mit geometrischen und
zoomorphen Formen, ist das Zeichen auf
allen Tafeln in zahlreichen
Kombinationen belegt.
I think Barthel is
confused here, because although what is
illustrated indeed probably is the
figure of a man, that does not
necessarily imply that the meaning is 'a
man' or 'mankind'. As we have seen the
sun himself was depicted by GD15 at
noon. Often gods are imagined as looking
as we do, but that may be because
artists must use some familiar form to
get their expressions understood.
Artists certainly are aware of this
fact, but the rest of the people tend to
be deceived into thinking that what they
see really is a picture of god. From
this we can understand that in some
cultures it is forbidden to make
pictures of god.
As to
'schleifenförmig' (a word the meaning of
which I had to check in my dictionary)
the English language has two synonyms:
'in form of a loop' and 'in form of an
eye'. It is interesting to find that
loop-holes and eyes are so close
together in our minds. The Polynesians
associated 'eye' with 'sun' and
therefore put wooden plugs into their
earlobes.
Das
begriffliche Gegenstück bildet der
Zeichentyp 530 [see below]. Bei ihm wird
nur das eine Ohr wiedergegeben, während
fûr das andere drei kurze
Parallelstriche eintreten.
Metoro
erklärt mehrere Vorkommen auf der Tafel
'Tahua' mit 'ahine poopouo',
und Jaussen übersetzt in seiner Liste 'vie
poko pouo' als 'femme coiffée'.
Eine Ähnlichkeit mit dem
geflochtenen Frauenhut ist jedoch nicht
zu entdecken. Stattdessen dürften sich
die graphischen Besonderheiten auf eine
bestimmte über das Ohr reichende
Haartracht beziehen. Tatsächlich trugen
auf der Osterinsel die Frauen tief in
den Nacken fallendes Haar. Der
Haarschopf scheint demnach den
zugehörigen Körper als weiblich
charakterisiert zu haben."

After Splashing Water on Hawaii
... The
Makahiki effigy is dismantled and hidden away in a rite
watched over by the king's 'living god', Kahoali'i or
'The-Companion-of-the-King', the one who is also known as
'Death-is-Near' (Koke-na-make). Close kinsman of the king
as his ceremonial double, Kahoali'i swallows the eye of
the victim in ceremonies of human sacrifice ... In the deep
night before the image [of Lono] is first seen, there is
a Makahiki ceremony called 'splashing-water' (hi'uwai). Kepelino
tells of sacred chiefs being carried to the water where the
people in their finery are bathing; in the excitement created by
the beauty of their attire, 'one person was attracted to
another, and the result', says this convert to Catholicism, 'was
by no means good'. At dawn, when the
people emerged from their amorous sport, there standing on the
beach was the image of Lono. White tapa cloth and
skins of the ka'upu bird hang from the horizontal bar of
the tall crosspiece image. The ka'upu is almost certainly
the albatross, a migratory bird that appears in the western
Hawaiian chain - the white Lanyon albatross at Ni'ihau
Island - to breed and lay eggs in October-November, or the
beginning of the Makahiki season ...

... In Hindu legend
there was a mother goddess called Aditi, who had
seven offspring. She is called 'Mother of the Gods'.
Aditi, whose name means 'free, unbounded, infinity'
was assigned in the ancient lists of constellations as
the regent of the asterism Punarvasu.
Punarvasu is dual in form and means 'The Doublegood
Pair'. The singular form of this noun is used to refer
to the star Pollux. It is not difficult to surmise that
the other member of the Doublegood Pair was Castor. Then
the constellation Punarvasu is quite equivalent
to our Gemini, the Twins. In far antiquity (5800 BC) the
spring equinoctial point was predicted by the heliacal
rising of the Twins ...

Notice how in Bb4-25 the 'grasping hand' is 'picking the fruit'
of the 'good earth' at κ Aurigae.
Although anciently Vindemiatrix (the
Grape Gatherer, ε in
Virgo) had been at the Full Moon when the Sun reached
JANUARY 30 (*314 + 1).
And in the next day, December 23 (Makali'i 18), much was
due:
... The 'living god', moreover, passes the
night prior to the dismemberment of Lono in a temporary
house called 'the net house of Kahoali'i', set up before
the temple structure where the image sleeps. In the myth
pertinent to these rites, the trickster hero - whose father has
the same name (Kuuka'ohi'alaki) as the Kuu-image
of the temple - uses a certain 'net of Maoloha' to
encircle a house, entrapping the goddess Haumea; whereas,
Haumea (or Papa) is also a version of La'ila'i,
the archetypal fertile woman, and the net used to entangle her
had belonged to one Makali'i, 'Pleiades'. Just so, the
succeeding Makahiki ceremony, following upon the putting
away of the god, is called 'the net of Maoloha', and
represents the gains in fertility accruing to the people from
the victory over Lono. A large, loose-mesh net, filled
with all kinds of food, is shaken at a priest's command. Fallen
to earth, and to man's lot, the food is the augury of the coming
year. The fertility of nature thus taken by humanity, a
tribute-canoe of offerings to Lono is set adrift for
Kahiki, homeland of the gods. The New Year draws to a close.
At the next full moon, a man (a tabu transgressor) will be
caught by Kahoali'i and sacrificed. Soon after the houses
and standing images of the temple will be rebuilt: consecrated -
with more human sacrifices - to the rites of Kuu and the
projects of the king ...

Carmenta we know from the historian Dionysus
Periergetis that she gave oracles 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 ... |

... Midsummer is the flowering season of the oak,
which is the tree of endurance and triumph, and like
the ash is said to 'court the lightning flash'. Its
roots are believed to extend as deep underground as
its branches rise in the air - Virgil mentions this
- which makes it emblematic of a god whose law runs
both in Heaven and in the Underworld ... 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 ... |
