From the last day of the Murzim manzil to the beginning of the 11th hour there are 4 days, and after another 5 days it is time to turn the tablet around. The heliacal rising of Dubhe (α Ursae Majoris) marked the end of the 11th hour:
Turning the tablet around to side b must be a powerful Sign. August 24 is the last day on side a and August 25 the first day on side b. August 24 is Gregorian day 236 (= 8 * 29½) = manzil day 100. August 25 is day 157 (= 314 / 2) from equinox. There are 92 glyphs on side a, a Sign of the last quarter of the old year, whose head is due to come off. Manu kake in Kb1-7 has a 'star pillar' sign inside. Therefore Kb1-7 should be read together with the descending fish in Ka3-5 (halfway to 92), where the star pillar sign has been turned upside down:
It is possible to find a pattern:
243 = 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 and 107 = 243 - 136. Odd numbers are unlucky. The bird in Ka3-6 brings death (illustrated by ihe tau). In Ka3-7 the elbow ornament is an empty bivalve (pure). There are 53 days in complete darkness. The ancient Egyptian sign for the hiding 'cloth' was a quartet of the type of sign inside Ka3-5 and the ancient Egyptian sign for 'star pillar' was a quartet of the type of sign inside Kb1-7:
Darkness arrived and covered 'earth' like a black cloth in July 9 = Heka 1, which manzil refers to the star Heka, i.e. λ at the non-visible head of Orion, which was rising heliacally in day 163 = 243 - 80:
Λ spells death, as when meeting Spartan soldiers: ... Another widely known Spartan symbol, adopted in the 420s BC, was the letter lambda (Λ), standing for Laconia or Lacedaemon, which was painted on the Spartans' shields ... Light returned with September. It seems the 'new earth' which is rising from the waves will receive light (come alive) only when the 'living spirit' (manu rere) 'a-lights'.
... Similarly to the sun the heron rose up from the primary waters, and its Egyptian name, benu, was probably derived from the word weben, to 'rise' or 'shine'. This magnificent wader was also associated with the inundations of the Nile ... The Moriori fisherman on Chatham Islands had a chant for revitalizing the world, where the 'flying bird' is equalized with the 'spirit-breath' necessary for life: ... Let the spirit of the man be gathered to the world of being, the world of light. / Then see. Placed in the body is the flying bird, the spirit-breath. / Then breathe! / Sneeze, living spirit, to the world of being, the world of light. / Then see. Placed in the body is the flying bird, the breath. / Be breathing then, great Tu. Now live! |
