Itzam-Yeh (alias Ursa Major) was defeated (shot down by a
pellet from a blowgun) in May 28. This date coincides with the

... This pot depicts one of the
Hero Twins (One-Ahaw in the Classic texts and
One-Hunaphu in the K'iche' Popol Vuh) and a great
bird who is trying to land in a huge ceiba tree
heavy with fruit. This mythical bird is Itzam-Yeh,
Classic prototype of Wuqub-Kaqix,
'Seven-Macaw', of Popol Vuh fame. In that story, in
the time before the sky was lifted up to make room
for the light, the vainglorious Seven-Macaw imagined
himself to be the sun. Offended by his pride, the
Hero Twins humbled him by breaking his beautiful
shining tooth with a pellet from their blowgun. This
pot shows One-Ahaw aiming at the bird as he swoops
down to land in his tree. As Itzam-Yeh lands
on his perch, the text tells us he is 'entering or
becoming the sky' ... |

... 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 ...
And in the Flag of Brazil
Spica has been conspiciously located above the band of Order
and Progress.
Far below at bottom is a tiny dot denoting the South
Pole star Dramasa (*320.0). Between Spica and Dramasa is the
constellation of the Southern Cross, Crux. On the
opposite side of Spica (10° 54′ S), below the band, is the star named
Al Dhanab al Shuja (γ,
the Tail of Hydra, 23° 10′ S). Spica has a tendency, it appears,
to draw one arm of Virgo towards the south, in contrast to the
Tail of Hydra which exhibits a 'knee' pointing towards the
north:
In the flag right ascension is
increasing towards the right where the view ends with the
Scorpion and Antares
The view begins at Procyon,
the star below O in ORDEM. Below M in ORDEM is Alphard (α
Hydrae), and further down we will find Canopus (α in Argo Navis),
apparently hanging like a plumb bob ('heart') from Alphard. Canis Major is
indicated by 5 stars below Procyon and Alphard. The 3 stars of
the Southern Triangle is to the right and below the 5 stars of
Crux.
Aldebaran (*68) cannot be seen
because of its position. Antares (*249) - Procyon (*114) = *135
→ Tau-ono (*500 - *365), and Aldebaran had to be on the
daylight side of the sky. It was named Ana-muri, the star
pillar at the end, in contrast to Ana-mua, the star
pillar in front (of the southern summer), i.e. Antares.
In the 10-star list from Tahiti the
Middle Pillar (Ana-roto, Spica) was not between Antares
and Aldebaran, and we can guess its location in the list
was partly in order to draw attention to the discovery (the
progress being made) in finding the
cardinal dates connected with these 3 stars:

Churchill. Viti: vili, to pick up fallen
fruit or leaves ... In Viti virimbai has
the meaning of putting up a fence (mbai
fence); viri does not appear
independently in this use, but it is undoubtedly
homogenetic with Samoan vili, which has a
basic meaning of going around; virikoro
then signifies the ring-fence-that-goes-about,
sc. the moon. In the Maori, aokoro is the
cloud-fence ... Churchill 2. |

... 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) ... |

At the

order to function as a Sign of the
past when Ana-mua had been at the SEPTEMBER EQUINOX:

Counting 64 precessional days back in time from *200.4

have corresponded to JUNE 1 (*136 - *64 = *72

Antares had been at SEPTEMBER 22 (265).
... It was 4 August 1968, and it was
the feast day of Saint Dominic, patron of Santo Domingo
Pueblo, southwest of Santa Fe. At one end of the hot,
dusty plaza, a Dominican priest watched nervously as
several hundred dancers arranged in two long rows
pounded the earth with their moccasined feet as a
mighty, collective prayer [ui] for rain,
accompanied by the powerful baritone singing of a chorus
and the beat of drums. As my family and I viewed this,
the largest and in some ways the most impressive Native
American public ceremony, a tiny cloud over the Jémez
Mountains to the northwest got larger and larger,
eventually filling up the sky; at last the storm broke,
and the sky was crisscrossed by lightning and the pueblo
resounded with peals of rolling thunder ...
