... This [η
Carinae] is one of the most noted objects in the
heavens, perhaps even so in almost prehistoric
times, for Babylonian inscriptions seem to refer
to a star noticeable from occasional faintness
in its light, that Jensen thinks was η.
And he claims it as one of the temple stars
associated with Ea, or Ia, of Eridhu¹, the Lord
of Waters, otherwise known as Oannes², the
mysterious human fish and greatest god of the
kingdom.
¹ Eridhu, or Eri-duga, the
Holy City, Nunki, or Nunpe, one of the oldest
cities in the world, even in ancient Babylonia,
was that kingdom's flourishing port on the
Persian Gulf, but, by the encroachment of the
delta, its site is now one hundred miles inland.
In its vicinity the Babylonians located their
sacred Tree of Life.
² Berōssōs described Oannes
as the teacher of early man in all knowledge;
and in mythology he was even the creator of man
and the father of Tammuz and Ishtar, themselves
associated with other stars and sky figures.
Jensen thinks Oannes connected with the stars of
Capricorn; Lockyer finds his counterpart in the
god Chnemu of Southern Egypt; and some have
regarded him as the prototype of Noah ...

However, an astronomically more correct day for the northern spring
equinox was March 20 (79) and DAY 160 could therefore be more
correctly stated as DAY 161.
... Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned
to be on 21 March (even though the equinox occurs,
astronomically speaking, on 20 March in most years) ...
... 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 ...
At the opposite side of the fire in the Day of St John was the
Water-jar:
... The evening of 23 June, St. John's Eve,
is the eve of celebration before the Feast Day of Saint John the
Baptist. The Gospel of Luke (Luke 1:36, 56-57) states that John
was born about six months before Jesus; therefore, the feast of
John the Baptist was fixed on 24 June, six months before
Christmas Eve ...
