... It is known
that in the final battle of the gods, the massed
legions on the side of 'order' are the dead
warriors, the 'Einherier' who once fell in combat on
earth and who have been transferred by the Valkyries
to reside with Odin in Valhalla - a theme much
rehearsed in heroic poetry. On the last day, they
issue forth to battle in martial array. Says
Grimnismal (23): 'Five hundred gates and forty
more - are in the mighty building of Walhalla -
eight hundred 'Einherier' come out of each one gate
- on the time they go out on defence against the
Wolf.' That makes 432,000 in all, a number of
significance from of old. This number must have had
a very ancient meaning, for it is also the number of
syllables in the Rigveda. But it goes back to
the basic figure 10,800, the number of stanzas in
the Rigveda (40 syllables to a stanza) [40 *
270 = 10800] which, together with 108, occurs
insistently in Indian tradition, 10,800 is also the
number which has been given by Heraclitus for the
duration of the Aiōn, according to Censorinus (De
die natali, 18), whereas Berossos made the
Babylonian Great Year to last 432,000 years. Again,
10,800 is the number of bricks of the Indian
fire-altar (Agnicayana) ... |

through its long series of known
combinations carries a strongly featured
sense of action that is peripheral,
centrifugal, and there seems to be at least
a suspicion of the further connotation that
the action is exerted downward ... The
secondary sense of cutting will easily be
seen to be a striking with a specialized
implement, and we find this sense stated
without recognition of the primal striking
sense only in Mangareva, Nukuoro, Viti, and
Malekula. In Indonesia this secondary sense
is predominant, although Malagasy ta
may come somewhat close to the striking idea

Not
only the Sun-gods, but the stars, were supposed to travel in
boats across the firmament from one horizon to the other.
The under-world was the abode of the dead; and daily the
sun, and the stars which set, died on passing to the regions
of the west or Amenti, below the western horizon, to
be born again on the eastern horizon on the morrow. In this
we have the germ of the Egyptian idea of immortality
...
In this perspective it would be useful to divide
timespace by imaginary straight lines ('strings')
corresponding to the right ascension positions. Then,
perhaps not straight away but much later, declination lines
would follow and complete the Net of Nut - part of which was
the Desert Lynx (Caracal),
the high-jumping creature who was catching birds in flight:
And after having created such a net this could then be
thought of as a great celestial loom, for inserting the coloured
stars.
... Five days of illumination, called the
'Lighting of the Flame' (which in the earlier reading of
this miracle play would have followed the quenching of the
fires on the dark night of the moon when the king was
ritually slain), preceded the five days of the festival
itself; and then the solemn occasion (ad majorem dei
gloriam) commenced. The opening rites were under the
patronage of Hathor. The king, wearing the belt with her
four faces and the tail of her mighty bull, moved in
numerious processions, preceded by his four standards, from
one temple to the next, presenting favors (not offerings) to
the gods. Whereafter the priesthoods arrived in homage
before his throne, bearing the symbols of their gods. More
processions followed, during which, the king moved about -
as Professor Frankfort states in his account - 'like the
shuttle in a great loom' to re-create the fabric of his
domain, into which the cosmic powers represented by the
gods, no less than the people of the land, were to be woven
...
There had to be a pair of celestial nets because also the
southern night sky had to be mapped.
And from the southern perspective the stars would be like
fishes and the net would be a fishing net.
... The principal word for 'fish' in most
Dravidian languages is min, which has an ancient
homophone meaning 'star', both probably derivatives of the
root min 'to glitter' ... Fish are actually unable to
close their eyes, and the fact that 'when the fish sleeps it
does not close its eyes' was noticed by ancient Indians. The
dot-in-a-circle similar to that occuring among the trefoils
of the Harappan priest-king's robe is identical with the eye
of the many small hare- and fish-shaped amulets discovered
on the lower levels of Harappa ...
Metoro may have
thought of Polaris - the Pillar to Fish from - when he said
kupega no te niu for the glyph 4 days earlier.
