5. The twin (Janus) eyes of Rogo and of atariki are signs which probably indicate 'alpha and omega', where one season is ending and the next beginning. We should notice what Allen has to say about Meissa (λ Orionis):
"Al Maisān, the title of γ Geminorum, by some error of Firuzabadi was applied to this star as Meissa, and is now common for it. Al Sufi called it Al Tahāyī; but Al Ferghani and Al Tizini knew it as Rās al Jauzah, the Head of the Jauzah, which it marks. The original Arabic name, Al Hak'ah, a White Spot, was from the added faint light of the smaller φšand φ˛ in the background, and has descended to us as Heka and Hika. These three stars were another of the Athāfiyy [tripods used for cooking] of the Arabs; and everywhere in early astrology were thought, like all similar groups, to be of unfortunate influence in human affairs. They constituted the Euphratean lunar station Mas-tab-ba-tur-tur, the Little Twins, a title also found for γ and η Geminorum; and individually were important stars among the Babylonians, rising to them with the sun at the summer solstice, and, with α and γ, were known as Kakkab Sar, the Constellation of the King." Tripods have 3 legs, but twins are only 2 in number. Once again we arrive at manu mata e toru:
Counting legs there are 2 + 1 = 3 , but counting the 'eyes' in front there are 2 * (2 + 1) = 6. There are 2 legs 'en face' and 1 leg in side view. For each moe glyph there are 2 mata below and 1 at the top (not visible). However, in Ga1-17 and Ga1-21 - where the crescents imply a side view - no mata is invisible (although the right eye of gagana in Ga1-18 cannot be seen). There are 2 * 3 = 6 mata signs at left instead of at right as in Bb5-14 and Bb6-25:
In Bb5-14 Spring Sun, alias Mars, has no left arm, and 51 * 4 = 204. From 204 to 62 * 5 = 310 for Saturn in Bb6-25 the number is 106, equal to 472 - 366:
In our Babylonian zodiac Little Twins have been placed above Bow, not above True Shepherd of Anu (where instead we find the Great Twins):
The location of the Little Twins is below the ecliptic - which can be imagined to be on the left side of time, in the 'female' watery region, - while Sun is hanging high above remaining dry in the Crab constellation: ... It ran and slipped into the hole of a stone. He poked after it, lifted up the stone, and saw that the skull was (in the hole) of the stone. (The rat was) a spirit of the skull (he kuhane o te puoko). Ure Honu was amazed and said, 'How beautiful you are! In the head of the new bananas is a skull, painted with yellow root and with a strip of barkcloth around it.' Ure Honu stayed for a while, (then) he went away and covered the roof of his house in Vai Matā. It was a new house. He took the very large skull, which he had found at the head of the banana plantation, and hung it up in the new house. He tied it up in the framework of the roof (hahanga) and left it hanging there ... The name of the 'tripod twins', Mas-tab-ba-tur-tur, is presumably related to the mastabas ('eternal houses') in Giza:
What is a mastaba if not a pyramid without its head:
A truncated pyramid is a pyramid with only the trunk left. If time runs from bottom and up, from the delta of the Nile to the mountains in the south, then Menkaure is the last of the 3 great Pharaohs. His pyramid is in front, more to the east than what could be expected from a straight line through the twin pyramids of his forefathers. And there are 3 queen pyramids following. The pyramid of Khafre has only 1 such little pyramid in the south and the pyramid of Khufu has none - instead there are boat pits and mastabas. According to the Babylonian order given in the Mul-Apin text (cfr at Metallah) the Crab is both the seat of Anu and the 9th 'star' on the path of Enlil:
I have here included the interpretations of Gavin White, according to which the Little Twins belong in Canis Minor. My point is that the Little Twins here represents a 'cross station' where the path on Enlil connects to the path of Anu (while the path in the watery underworld of Ea is not present, not visible). If there is a correlation with the pyramids in Giza we must conclude the pyramid of Menkaure (in the south) corresponds to Ea. And the layout of the great pyramids in Giza is like that of the Belt Stars of Orion after having turned them around so that north becomes south. In Egypt higher ground lies in the south. |
