"... Wild Boar (Most of Centaurus). The Wild Boar is sacred to Ningirsu, a local form of Ninurta, who is a god closely associated with farming. Indeed the boar's habit of churning up the earth as it forages for food may ultimately be the historical inspiration for the invention of the plough, which allowed early societies to adopt a sedentary lifestyle ..."

When a new constellation is rising late in the night - in the east just before Sun is rising and still cannot be seen - the orientation of its figure in both the Babylonian and the Dendera zodiac is facing in the only direction where something is visible, viz. in the other direction compared to the horizon in the east below which no stars can be visible.

This explains why e.g. Sagittarius (Pabilsag) is looking at the preceding constellation which has risen somewhat earlier (the scorpion).

... For the Maori the past is an important and pervasive dimension of the present and future. Often referred to as the 'ever-present now', Maori social reality is perceived as though looking back in time from the past to the present.

The Maori word for 'the front of' is mua and this is used as a term to describe the past, that is, Nga wa o mua or the time in front of us. Likewise, the word for the back is muri which is a term that is used for the future. Thus the past is in front of us, it is known; the future is behind us, unknown. The point of this is that our ancestors always had their backs to the future with their eyes firmly on the past ...

The back side (muri) of the Sun boat therefore follows the rule by arriving later than its front part (mua).
