The blue line through
through the Auriga constellation cannot be the ecliptic. Wikipedia does not explain
the line but I believe it represents the
Milky Way:
This blue line goes between the Goat Kids
(Haedus I and II,
ζ respectively
η) and later it will cross the line
for 6h.
In rongorongo times it would have reached 6h
a little later, but if the blue line
represents the Milky Way it must be rather
arbitrarily drawn:
In rongorongo times the distance
from ε Aurigae
(Almaaz, the He Goat) to the solstice was 18
days:

When the 'tail' of the
Scorpion (Denebakrab,
μ Scorpii) was at the Full
Moon then it could be said that the Sun had reached Auriga.
Therefore Auriga ought to represent the
'tail' of some creature with opposite
characteristics, perhaps the Goat.

It seems reasonable to
regard Auriga as a relevant
constellation to have in mind when
trying to understand line Ga1. In June
22 the Sun reached κ Aurigae and
then remained only the
ψ stars:

Egyptian flail |
 |
Phoenician lamed |
 |
Greek
psi |
Ψ (ψ) |
|
Wikipedia:
"In writing, the early
letter appears in an angular
shape ( ).
There were early graphical
variants that omitted the
stem ('chickenfoot-shaped
psi' as:
or
 )
...
In later
research it was postulated
that the [Phoenician]
alphabet is actually two
complete lists, the first
dealing with land
agriculture and activity,
and the second dealing with
water, sea and fishing.
The first
half beginning with Alef -
an ox, and ending with Lamed
- a whip. The second list
begins with Mem - water, and
continues with Nun - fish,
Samek - fish bones, Ayin - a
water spring, Peh - the
mouth of a well, Tsadi - to
fish, Kof, Resh and Shin are
the hook hole, hook head and
hook teeth, known to exist
from prehistoric times, and
the Tav is the mark used to
count the fish caught."
The Crook and
Flail were instruments of
the Pharaoh:
