2. The way to teach cosmic
information must be to use picture language,
otherwise the listeners would be unattentive and
not able to remember anything. But picture
language is pliable and versatile, and depending
on circumstances the pictures will be different.
I think a rope can be used at some times and a
serpent at other - with only slightly
different meanings without relevance for the
information carried.
We wish to reach the information
carried, and I have suggested the current right
ascensions of prominent stars in the
pictures 'drawn' on the night sky by clever
generations of ancient astronomers can be of use
for us when trying to understand the text on the
G tablet.
Let us therefore see if it is
possible to correlate also
Tien Kang, the Heavenly Rope, with
promising glyphs:

My elementary astronomy book has
no information about the right ascension of Tien
Kang and I have therefore fetched the following
data from
Wikipedia:
