The Chinese had presumably inherited ideas from the Sumerian Mud Garden and we
can see that their Green Serpent (Keyemen)
had his head (his beginning) not far after that
of the oppositely oriented Blue Dragon.
The head and the upper shell of the Earth Turtle
(i.e. her 'Calapash') was beginning here.
...
An iconographic study by
Jeff Kowalski suggests a cosmological layout
for the Nunnery.
The higher placement of
the North Building, with its 13 exterior
doorways (reflecting the 13 layers of
heaven), and the celestial serpents
surmounting the huts identify it with the
celestial sphere. The iconography of the
West Building, with 7 exterior doorways (7
is the mystic number of the earth's
surface), and figures of Pawahtun -
the earth god as a turtle - indicate this to
be the Middleworld, the place of the sun's
descent into the Underworld. The East
Building has mosaic elements reflecting the
old war cult of Teotihuacan,
where tradition had it that the sun was
born; thus, this may also be Middleworld,
the place of the rising sun. Finally, the
South Building has 9 exterior doorways (the
Underworld or Xibalba
had 9 layers), and has the lowest placement
in the compex; it thus seems to be
associated with death and the nether regions
...
The Chinese zodiacal sequence began with the
'Rat' and.
beyond the month of Janus there were
evidently 9 * 29
(Gb2-6) - 11 * 23 (Gb1-24) = 8 dark nights
- which might have been perceived as similar to the dark nights when Venus was
invisible ('in close embrace') before she returned in
all her glory as Morning Star:

All Hearts' Day |

... On
February 9 the Chorti Ah
K'in, 'diviners', begin
the agricultural year. Both
the 260-day cycle and the
solar year are used in
setting dates for religious
and agricultural ceremonies,
especially when those
rituals fall at the same
time in both calendars. The
ceremony begins when the
diviners go to a sacred
spring where they choose
five stones with the proper
shape and color. These
stones will mark the five
positions of the sacred
cosmogram created by the
ritual. When the stones are
brought back to the
ceremonial house, two
diviners start the ritual by
placing the stones on a
table in a careful pattern
that reproduces the
schematic of the universe.
At the same time, helpers
under the table replace last
year's diagram with the new
one. They believe that by
placing the cosmic diagram
under the base of God at the
center of the world they
demonstrate that God
dominates the universe. The
priests place the stones in
a very particular order.
First the stone that
corresponds to the sun in
the eastern, sunrise
position of summer solstice
is set down; then the stone
corresponding to the
western, sunset position of
the same solstice. This is
followed by stones
representing the western,
sunset position of the
winter solstice, then its
eastern, sunrise position.
Together these four stones
form a square. They sit at
the four corners of the
square just as we saw in the
Creation story from the
Classic period and in the
Popol Vuh. Finally, the
center stone is placed to
form the ancient five-point
sign modern researchers
called the quincunx ...

long period of Foundation (Bunda), determined by
the culmination (at 21h) of Sirius -
i.e. in
the day which reflected the culmination (at 21h)
of the ancient north Pole star Vega.
