The
basic structuire
could have been
defined from the
midnight
culminations of
Sirius and Vega at
opposite sides of
the year. At the
time of Bharani
these events occured
in the night of
"January 1
respectively in the
night of "July 2
(183 = 366 - 183).
In
rongorongo times the
midnight culmination
of Sirius occurred 8
nights beyond 21h.
There could be a
suggestion of 'Land'
stretching from
heliacal Tejat Prior
to heliacal ν
Aquarii, for 227
days (alluding to
π). Hevelius appears
to have 'cut off'
the left forearm of
Aquarius with the
tail of the
Capricorn between ν
and β:

... On February 9
the Chorti Ah
K'in,
'diviners', begin
the agricultural
year. Both the
260-day cycle and
the solar year are
used in setting
dates for religious
and agricultural
ceremonies,
especially when
those rituals fall
at the same time in
both calendars. The
ceremony begins when
the diviners go to a
sacred spring where
they choose five
stones with the
proper shape and
color. These stones
will mark the five
positions of the
sacred cosmogram
created by the
ritual. When the
stones are brought
back to the
ceremonial house,
two diviners start
the ritual by
placing the stones
on a table in a
careful pattern that
reproduces the
schematic of the
universe. At the
same time, helpers
under the table
replace last year's
diagram with the new
one. They believe
that by placing the
cosmic diagram under
the base of God at
the center of the
world they
demonstrate that God
dominates the
universe.
The priests place
the stones in a very
particular order.
First the stone that
corresponds to the
sun in the eastern,
sunrise position of
summer solstice is
set down; then the
stone corresponding
to the western,
sunset position of
the same solstice.
This is followed by
stones representing
the western, sunset
position of the
winter solstice,
then its eastern,
sunrise position.
Together these four
stones form a
square. They sit at
the four corners of
the square just as
we saw in the
Creation story from
the Classic period
and in the Popol
Vuh. Finally, the
center stone is
placed to form the
ancient five-point
sign modern
researchers called
the quincunx
...
Later on in this
series of rituals,
the Chorti go
through a ceremony
they call raising
the sky. This ritual
takes place at
midnight on the
twenty-fifth of
April and
continues each night
until the rains
arrive. In this
ceremony two
diviners and their
wives sit on benches
so that they occupy
the
corner positions of
the cosmic square.
They take their
seats in the same
order as the stones
were placed, with
the men on the
eastern side and the
women on the west.
The ritual actions
of sitting down and
lifting upward are
done with great
precision and care,
because they are
directly related to
the actions done by
the gods at
Creation. The people
represent the gods
of the four corners
and the clouds that
cover the earth. As
they rise from their
seats, they
metaphorically lift
the sky. If their
lifting motion is
uneven, the rains
will be irregular
and harmful
