Most convincing of a parallel between the texts is
the occurence also in G of a 'broken to pieces' glyph in 'September

We are approaching
Tau-ono, which could be seen
close to the Full Moon in May 15
(135) - or in 'April 18 (108) in the
times of Al Sharatain.
... The mouth of the fish (Moon) can be
compared to the tail of the bird (Sun). If the tail
corresponds to 'the last part of', then the mouth
should represent 'the first part of'. Where Sun
departs we can expect to find the 'mouth' of Moon.
There is a complication to consider in Allen:
Al
Tizini knew this [β
Piscis Australis], instead of
α,
as Fum al Hūt, - evidence either of a
different figuring of the constellation from that of
Ptolemy, which we follow, or of its extension
towards the northeast by the Arabian astronomers.
This may account for the location of Fomalhaut in
Aquarius by some early authors.
With
δ
and ζ
it was the Chinese Tien Kang, the Heavenly
Rope.
Al
Tizini mentioned the stars, now
γ,
α,
and β
of Grus, as the Tail, the Bright One, and the Rear
One of the Fish - additional proof that our
lucida of Piscis Australis was not his nā'ir
of
Al Hūt al Janūbiyy.
η,
θ,
ι,
and μ
were Tien Tsien, Heavenly Cash.
The
arabian word nā'ir means the brightest star
in a constellation, i.e. it is a synonym to Latin
lucida.
Heavenly Cash (Tien Tsien) sounds like the
same idea as in '... the Fish taken by St.
Peter with a piece of money in its mouth ...'
The name Heavenly Rope (Tien Kang) caught my
attention. For instance does it remind me of the
rope trick in India, where a rope is induced to
miraculously stretch itself high up without any
visible means of support - like a snake charmed.
Serpents have no limbs and it seems impossible for
them to 'stand up' - and even less possible for them
to push the sky roof high in spring.
... The
'classic' version, however, was much more detailed:
the rope would seem to rise high into the skies,
disappearing from view. The boy would climb the rope
and be lost to view. The magician would call back
his boy assistant, and, on getting no response,
become furious. The magician then armed himself with
a knife or sword and climbed the rope, vanishing
too. An argument would be heard, and then limbs
would start falling, presumably cut from the
assistant by the magician. When all the parts of the
body, including the torso, landed on the ground, the
magician would climb down the rope. He would collect
the limbs and put them in a basket, or collect the
limbs in one place and cover them with a cape or
blanket. Soon the boy would appear, restored ...
The capacity of a serpentine body to stretch itself
in full length vertically is much easier to believe
if it happens down in the water ... |
Under the Cover (Al Ghafr) all the
cut up pieces of the body would be restored:
