The Square of Pegasus was where present time began, not only where Seven Macaw had been dethroned but also where each night the origin of our time could be seen illustrated in the sky.

I remembered a glyph late on side b of the C text:

PYTHAGOREAN SCHOOL

... Let us now return to our map, which also incorporates a triangle representing the Delta. Its other main components are the three parallel meridians. The eastern meridian is at longitude 32° 38' east - the official eastern border of Ancient Egypt from the beginning of dynastic times. The western meridian is at longitude 29°50' east, the official western  border of ancient Egypt. The central meridian is at longitude 31° 14' east, exactly midway between the other two (1° 24' away from each). What we now have is a representation of a strip on the surface of planet earth that is exactly 2° 48' wide. How long is this strip? Ancient Egypt's official northern and southern borders (which bore no more relationship to settlement patterns than the official eastern and western boundaries) are marked by the horizontal lines at the top and bottom [rather bottom and top, I think] of the map and are located respectively at 31°06' north and 24° 06' north. The northern border, 31° 06' north, joins the two outer ends of the estuary of the Nile. The southern border, 24°06' N, marks the precise latitude of the island of Elephantine at Aswan (Seyne) where an important astronomical and solar observatory was located throughout known Egyptian history. It seems, that this archaic land, sacred since time began - the creation and habitation of the gods - was originally conceived as a geometric construct exactly seven terrestrial degrees in length. Within this construct, the Great Pyramid appears to have been carefully sited as a geodetic marker for the apex of the Delta ...

At the time when Hyadum II was at 0h the Foundation Stone (Alcyone) was rising with the Sun in day 68 (*MARCH 9) when the Full Moon was in day 251 (*SEPTEMBER 8 ≈ 78):

And in the C text we have found Alcyone illustrated in Cb2-6:

From May 16 (Cb2-6) up to and including υ Pegasi in March 10 there were 366 (*JANUARY 1) - 68 (*MARCH 9) + 1 = 299 days:

Counting similarly ahead in the C text we will reach 30 JUNE, where 30 DECEMBER (364) was at the Full Moon, and 2 days later the Full Moon would have arrived to 1 JANUARY:
