11-4. Once again. There was a thong between Spica and the Fox up in Ursa Major, a thong which held heaven and earth together.

... Proclus informs us that the fox star nibbles continuously at the thong of the yoke which holds together heaven and earth; German folklore adds that when the fox succeeds, the world will come to its end. This fox star is no other than Alcor, the small star g near zeta Ursae Majoris (in India Arundati, the common wife of the Seven Rishis, alpha-eta Ursae ...

Which was a good thing:

... In South America the rainbow has a double meaning. On the one hand, as elsewhere, it announces the end of rain; on the other hand, it is considered to be responsible for diseases and various natural disasters. In its first capacity the rainbow effects a disjunction between the sky and the earth which previously were joined through the medium of rain. In the second capacity it replaces the normal beneficient conjunction by an abnormal, maleficient one - the one it brings about itself between sky and earth by taking the place of water ...

Ursa Major (Itzam-Yeh) was defeated in 28 May 3149 BC. This date was probably predetermined. We can count the precession from 3149 BC to 1842 AD as (3149 + 1842) / 26000 * 365¼ = ca 70 years.

Ga5-28 (→ May 28) was where in 1842 AD (my assumed era for rongorongo) the thong between Spica and Alcor had been visible close to the nakshatra Full Moon in April 10 (100). Thus, in a way the thong still kept heaven and earth together.

In April 10 (100, *20) the Sun rose at the right ascension line associated with the Knee of Cassiopeia.

Eb2-12 (54) was, I suggest, the place for the Sun when the nakshatra Full Moon was *70 right ascension days after March 21 (0h). Counted from the Julian equinox (3-25) the Full Moon was *66 days after 0h. South of the equator there was another Triangle, in a way corresponding to the pair up in the north:

In the Flag of Brazil the Spica star has been conspiciously placed above the band of order:

In other words, there was a thong between heaven and earth also in the southern hemisphere, this one leading between Spica (*202) and the tiny star Dramasa (*320) at the south celestial pole. Thus the southern order was 4 synodic months, because 320 - 202 = 118 = 4 * 29½. Thus the bottom side of the Phaistos disc carried 118 signs.

*45 days before 0h → 360 / 45 = 8 the Sun rose at the right ascension line of Dramasa.

... Allen has documented all his star culminations at 21h, which could be due to an effort of keeping the culminations at their proper places according to the ancients, 24h (spring equinox) - 21h = 3h = 24h / 8 = 45º. 3h corresponds to 366 / 8 = 45.75 of my right ascension days and *366 - *46 = *320 (Dramasa, σ Octantis) ...

The Hawaiian god of war returned to power in day 45 (February 14, 2-14), and Ursa Major was no longer ruling, the power had shifted to the opposite pole. This occurred in 13 August 3114 BC, half a year away from February 14. 225 - 45 = 180.

... Midsummer is the flowering season of the oak, which is the tree of endurance and triumph, and like the ash is said to 'court the lightning flash'. Its roots are believed to extend as deep underground as its branches rise in the air - Virgil mentions this - which makes it emblematic of a god whose law runs both in Heaven and in the Underworld ... The month, which takes its name from Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th and ends of July 7th. Midway comes St. John's Day, June 24th, the day on which the oak-king was sacrificially burned alive. The Celtic year was divided into two halves with the second half beginning in July, apparently after a seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in the oak-king's honour ...

... Snorri Sterluson explains why 'Frodi's grist' is a kenning for gold. Frodi ruled during a peaceful and productive period, contemporaneous with Augustus's Pax Romana and the birth of Christ; hence the kenning. There were neither thieves nor robbers during this period, 'so that a gold ring lay long on Jalang's heath'. Snorri continues his account with the legend of the mill beyond what is told in the song: The girls' grinding produced an army hostile to Frodi. On the very day of the girls' predictions, the sea-king, Musing (Son of the Mouse), landed o the Danish shore, killed Frodi, and took away Grotti and the women on his ship. The girls were bidden to grind out salt on the mill. At midnight they asked for further instructions. 'Keep grinding', he told them. Then they ground with such vigor that the ship sank. Water poured into the eye of the mill, creating the maelstroem of the sea. Therefore the sea was salt. Incidentally, the mill was given a kenning, Serpent's Couch ...
