Once again:
... In the morning
of the world, there
was nothing but
water. The Loon was
calling, and the old
man who at that time
bore the Raven's
name,
Nangkilstlas,
asked her why. 'The
gods are homeless',
the Loon replied.
'I'll see to it',
said the old man,
without moving from
the fire in his
house on the floor
of the sea. Then as
the old man
continued to lie by
his fire, the Raven
flew over the sea.
The clouds broke. He
flew upward, drove
his beak into the
sky and scrambled
over the rim to the
upper world. There
he discovered a
town, and in one of
the houses a woman
had just given birth
...
Raven discovered a
town which
reminds me of the
19th Arab station
with the odd name
City, a similar
place for assembling
people:

... When it was
evident that the
years lay ready to
burst into life,
everyone took hold
of them, so that
once more would
start forth - once
again - another
(period of)
fifty-two years.
Then (the two
cycles) might
proceed to reach one
hundred and four
years. It was called
'One Age' when twice
they had made the
round, when twice
the times of binding
the years had come
together.
Behold what was done
when the years were
bound - when was
reached the time
when they were to
draw the new fire,
when now its count
was accomplished.
First they put out
fires everywhere in
the country round.
And the statues,
hewn in either wood
or stone, kept in
each man's home and
regarded as gods,
were all cast into
the water. Also
(were) these (cast
away) - the pestles
and the (three)
hearth stones (upon
which the cooking
pots rested); and
everywhere there was
much sweeping -
there was sweeping
very clear. Rubbish
was thrown out; none
lay in any of the
houses ...
There were 5 weeks
from the star Al
Baldah at the left
ear of the Archer to
the star Sadalsud at
the left shoulder of
Aquarius, and then
there were a further
5 days to θ Piscis
Austrini - but only
a further 4 days if
the counting went to
ι Aquarii (which
rose at the same
time as 46
Capricorni):

29 = 290 days at
heliacal Al Baldah
in January 5
suggests this was
the final station
for the Old Sun,
i.e. the end of a

measuring twice 5
months with 29 days
in each.

Obviously Albali,
the Good Luck of the

central role to
play. The star was
rising with the Sun
in RA day 314 and at
midnight Betelgeuze
culminated. A hanged
victim followed.

... Whereas, over
the next two days,
Lono plays
the part of the
sacrifice. The
Makahiki effigy
is dismantled and
hidden away in a
rite watched over by
the king's 'living
god', Kahoali'i
or
'The-Companion-of-the-King',
the one who is also
known as
'Death-is-Near' (Koke-na-make).
Close kinsman of the
king as his
ceremonial double,
Kahoali'i
swallows the eye of
the victim in
ceremonies of human
sacrifice
...
"Hitotsume-kozō
... are a yōkai
of Japan that take
on the appearance of
a bald child with
one eye in the
center of its
forehead."
(Wikipedia)
At the time of
Bharani this was
273 days after 0h
(i.e. 80 days after
September 30) and
also the other dates
at that time seem to
have been in their
proper time order.
In Gb1-21 there
could be a pair of
hanging eyes. One of
the pair of Goat
horns (which south
of the equator would
look as if hanging
down) seems to be
within reach
according to
Hevelius.
He has Gredi (α) at
the upper horn and β
(Dabih) at the lower
horn:
... the names [Dabih
and other similar
ones] undoubtedly
come from Al Sa'd
al Dhābi, the
Lucky One of the
Slaughterers, the
title of the 20th
manzil (of which
these alphas and
β
were the determinant
point), manifestly
referring to the
sacrifice celebrated
by the heathen Arabs
at the heliacal
rising of Capricorn
...
