... Considering the fact that the crossroads of ecliptic and Galaxy are crisis-resistant, that is, not concerned with the Precession, the reader may want to know why the Mangaians thought they could go to heaven only on the two solstitial days. Because, in order to 'change trains' comfortably, the constellations that serve as 'gates' to the Milky Way must 'stand' upon the 'earth', meaning that they must rise heliacally either at the equinoxes or at the solstices. The Galaxy is a very broad highway, but even so there must have been some bitter millenia when neither gate was directly available any longer, the one hanging in midair, the other having turned into a submarine entrance ...

This was the basic idea, and it evolved:

Half a cycle later night was falling, we can see in the head-gear of the kneeling man covered by a black cloth. A quarter later the head-gear incorporated a pair of bands crossing each other and it was time to sit down. At the beginning the head-gear of the Moon has elements of Imix inverted.

Kan (Corn)	Akbal (Night)	Ik (Air, Life)	Imix (Sea-dragon)

The right hand of the first Egyptian 'star pillar' Hor(us) was not adorned by any bracelet. It had been sacrificed. Tuesday (the day of the Nordic god Tyr) corresponded to the day of Mars, and this was the 2nd day of the week (which both began and ended with Monday).
