We
can now try to establish a connection between the end of side b on the C
tablet with the beginning of the text on side a. First we can go from heliacal Alcyone (the
Foundation Stone, Temennu) at 7 MARCH (66) to the Foundation (Pu) in 1 JANUARY,
and this was notably a distance measuring 366 - 66 = 300 days:

In the Chinese star map this Wall was
evidently connected with the loop in the Serpent's tail close to where the tail of the White Tiger was
beginning - i.e. it was a kind of Janus place,
although not with oppositely oriented faces but
with oppositely oriented tails.
