At
the
end
there
was
a
Cargo
Boat
and
this
was
probably the
place
where
the
Milky
Way
looked
like
the
mouth
of a
robber's
stick:
...
All
was
now
ready
for
departure
except
that
there
was
no
fire
in
the
smithy.
The
ancestor
slipped
into
the
workshop
of
the
great
Nummo,
who
are
Heaven's
smiths,
and
stole
a
piece
of
the
sun
in
the
form
of
live
embers
and
white-hot
iron.
He
seized
it
by
means
of a
'robber's
stick'
the
crook
of
which
ended
in a
slit,
open
like
a
mouth.
He
dropped
some
of
the
embers,
came
back
to
pick
them
up,
and
fled
towards
the
granary;
but
his
agitation
was
such
that
he
could
no
longer
find
the
entrances.
He
made
the
round
of
it
several
times
before
he
found
the
steps
and
climbed
onto
the
flat
roof,
where
he
hid
the
stolen
goods
in
one
of
the
skins
of
the
bellows,
exclaiming:
'Gouyo!',
which
is
to
say.
'Stolen!'
...
The
cargo
in
this
boat
looks
like
our
symbol
for
the
black
new
moon
(●).
Whereas
the
full
moon
sign
has
the
opposite
face
(o).
... When the
new moon
appeared
women
assembled
and bewailed
those who
had died
since the
last one,
uttering the
following
lament:
'Alas! O
moon! Thou
has returned
to life, but
our departed
beloved ones
have not.
Thou has
bathed in
the
waiora a
Tane,
and had thy
life
renewed, but
there is no
fount to
restore life
to our
departed
ones. Alas
...
The
Cargo
Boat
was
the
last
of
the
15
southern
stars
on
the
Path
of
Ea and
coincided
with
Corona
Australis,
just
after
the
Sting
of
the
Scorpion.
Here
the
stars
at
the
end
of
the
constellation
are describing a
curve.
And
the
outline
of
the
Teapot
(t-pot)
in
Sagittarius
was above
and
looking
much
like
a
kind
of
headgear
(haú):
The
Chinese
had
a
Horse
as
mnemonic
for
their
25th
stations
Star
and
possibly
it
could
allude
to
the
right
leg
of
the
Sagittarius
horse.

Das

- which
I though
resembled
the star
name
Al-Phard
-
is
German
for 'the
horse',
but at
first I
saw no
information
in Allen
regarding
a
horse in
the
Hydra
constellation.
However,
after
reading
more
thoroughly
I found:
"Al Sufi
mentioned
an early
Arab
figure,
Al
Hail,
the
Horse,
formed
from
stars
some of
which
now
belong
to our
Hydra,
but more
to Leo
and
Sextans."

Al Baldah (π Sagittarii, at the back of the head of the Archer) rose in the same day as Alphekka Meridiana (which, however, cannot be easily perceived in Hevelius' picture). Both the head of the 'Cavalry Officer' and the front leg of his horse could have been onboard the Southern Crown. In Ga8-22 the illuminated sky (ragi) is above and nuku (the land) below and upside down.

... In many Polynesian cultures the bodies of gods were conceived of as covered with feathers and they were frequently associated with birds: in Tahiti and the Society Islands, bird calls on the marae signaled the presence of the gods. Hawaiian feathered god figures generally depict only the head and neck of the god ...
There were 3 Babylonian god paths, in descending order, and the last star of all in this triplet was the Cargo Boat (possibly Alphekka Meridiana).
