We have earlier documented much regarding this
place:
Te Kioe Uri (*81 -
*93) |
Te
Piringa Aniva (*94 - *106) |
... The cult
place of Vinapu is located
between the fifth and sixth segment
of the dream voyage of Hau Maka.
These segments, named 'Te Kioe
Uri' (inland from Vinapu)
and 'Te Piringa Aniva' (near
Hanga Pau Kura) flank
Vinapu from both the west and
the east. The decoded meaning of the
names 'the dark rat' (i.e., the
island king as the recipient of
gifts) and 'the gathering place of
the island population' (for the
purpose of presenting the island
king with gifts) links them with the
month 'Maro', which is June.
Thus the last month of the Easter
Island year is twice connected with
Vinapu. Also, June is the
month of summer solstice [a mistake:
south of the equator it is winter
solstice], which again points to the
possibility that the Vinapu
complex was used for astronomical
purposes ...

... The Pythagoreans make Phaeton
fall into Eridanus, burning part of
its water, and glowing still at the
time when the Argonauts passed by.
Ovid stated that since the fall the
Nile hides its sources. Rigveda
9.73.3 says that the Great Varuna
has hidden the ocean. The
Mahabharata tells in its own style
why the 'heavenly Ganga' had to be
brought down. At the end of the
Golden Age (Krita Yuga) a
class of Asura who had fought
against the 'gods' hid themselves in
the ocean where the gods could not
reach them, and planned to overthrow
the government. So the gods implored
Agastya (Canopus, alpha
Carinae = Eridu) for help. The great
Rishi did as he was bidden, drank up
the water of the ocean, and thus
laid bare the enemies, who were then
slain by the gods. But now, there
was no ocean anymore! Implored by
the gods to fill the sea again, the
Holy One replied: 'That water in
sooth hath been digested by me. Some
other expedient, therefore, must be
thought of by you, if ye desire to
make endeavour to fill the ocean ...

... As has already been mentioned,
the Delphians worshipped Dionysus
once a year as the new-born child,
Liknites, 'the Child in the
Harvest Basket', which was a
shovel-shaped basket of rush and
osier used as a harvest basket, a
cradle, a manger, and a
winnowing-fan for tossing the grain
up into the air against the wind, to
separate it from the chaff. The
worship of the Divine Child was
established in Minoan Crete, its
most famous early home in Europe. In
1903, on the site of the temple of
Dictaean Zeues - the Zeus who was
yearly born in Rhea's cave at Dicte
near Cnossos, where Pythagoras spent
'thrice nine hallowed days' [27] of
his initiation - was found a Greek
hymn which seems to preserve the
original Minoan formula in which the
gypsum-powdered, sword-dancing
Curetes, or tutors, saluted the
Child at his birthday feast. In it
he is hailed as 'the Cronian one'
who comes yearly to Dicte mounted on
a sow and escorted by a
spirit-throng, and begged for peace
and plenty as a reward for their
joyful leaps ... |
