At the opposite side of the sky dome, however,
there was an abundance of sweet water, as represented by
the indundated square Field at the right wing of Pegasus:
And the ancient Olmecs had a king carrying a
water serpent in the center of their quincunx diagram:
At the top of a
mountain (or pyramid) rain was generated and from there the
life-giving streams
flowed down. The 27th Chinese station Wings could
have referrred to the winged horse Pegasus. Scheat (β)
and Markab (α) together marked the 'bench' where the Square
began.
... 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 ...
The Arabs called this place Al Fargh al Mukdim
- The Fore Spout - whereas the Chinese associated
the opposite side of the year with Wings and a Snake
(perhaps a Winged Serpent instead of a Winged Horse):

priest and monarch of the Golden Age in the Toltec city
of Tula, the City of
the Sun, in ancient Mexico, whose name, Quetzalcoatl,
has been read to mean both 'the Feathered Serpent' and
'the Admirable Twin', and who was fair of face and white
of beard, was the teacher of the arts to the people of
pre-Columbian America, originator of the calendar, and
their giver of maize ...
