4. Scorpius stretches for about a month and it looks as if the constellation ought to be adjusted a bit to fit completely between 16h and 18h. But once its claws held Libra and the Scorpion would then have covered around 3h:
At that time Zuben Elgenubi ('Southern Claw of the Scorpion') could have been its beginning:
In the age of Taurus Zuben Elgenubi could have risen heliacally in day 304 - 63 = 241 (one more than 8 * 30). If we assume Kuukuu (Spring Sun) dies in day 236 (cfr Counting Feathers), there will then be only 5 days remaining to August 29. Perhaps the dates in Manuscript E sometimes allude to the dates in the age of Taurus. |
