424. By using the time-frame of Bharani
as a stepping stone
it was evidently possible to go back in time-space to the age
of Virgo by reducing its right ascension day numbers
with 80. This will bring us to the time when Argo Navis was
at 0h and Spica in day *80.

... Though Andromeda has its roots
most firmly in the Greek tradition,
a female figure in Andromeda's place
appeared in Babylonian astronomy.
The stars that make up Pisces and
the middle portion of modern
Andromeda formed a constellation
representing a fertility goddess,
sometimes named as Anunitum
or the Lady of the Heavens ...

Compared to what I have
suggested earlier I have above now changed the
position of the Solitary Star (Muphrid) to
be at the end of side a instead of at the
beginning of side b. 210 = half 420 = 7 *
30 = half the number of assessors in the Hall
of the Two Truths:
...
The four bereaved and searching divinities,
the two mothers and their two sons, were
joined by a fifth, the moon-god Thoth (who
appears sometimes in the form of an
ibis-headed scribe, at other times in the
form of a baboon), and together they found
all of Osiris save his genital member, which
had been swallowed by a fish. They tightly
swathed the broken body in linen bandages,
and when they performed over it the rites
that thereafter were to be continued in
Egypt in the ceremonial burial of kings,
Isis fanned the corpse with her wings and
Osiris revived, to become the ruler of the
dead. He now sits majestically in the
underworld, in the Hall of the Two Truths,
assisted by forty-two assessors, one from
each of the principal districts of Egypt;
and there he judges the souls of the dead.
These confess before him, and when their
hearts have been weighed in a balance
against a feather, receive, according to
their lives, the reward of virtue and the
punishment of sin ...

... Although an old
constellation, Cetus is by no
means of special interest,
except as possessing the south
pole of the Milky Way and the
Wonderful Star, the variable
Mira; and from the fact that it
is a condensation point of
nebulae directly across the
sphere from Virgo, also noted in
this respect ...
... Mira also known as
Omicron Ceti (ο Ceti,
ο
Cet), is a red giant star
estimated 200-400 light years
away in the constellation Cetus.
Mira is a binary star,
consisting of the red giant Mira
A along with Mira B. Mira A is
also an oscillating variable
star and was the first
non-supernova variable star
discovered, with the possible
exception of Algol. Apart from
the unusual Eta Carinae, Mira is
the brightest periodic variable
in the sky that is not visible
to the naked eye for part of its
cycle ...
In a way Mira therefore
can illustrate how life (light)
departs, yet returns again after
the completion of a cycle.
... In 1638 Johannes Holwarda
determined a period of the
star's reappearances, eleven
months; he is often credited
with the discovery of Mira's
variability. Johannes Hevelius
was observing it at the same
time and named it 'Mira'
(meaning 'wonderful' or
'astonishing,' in Latin) in
1662's Historiola Mirae
Stellae, for it acted like
no other known star. Ismail
Bouillaud then estimated its
period at 333 days, less than
one day off the modern value of
332 days, and perfectly
forgivable, as Mira is known to
vary slightly in period, and may
even be slowly changing over
time ...

the oak-god, begins on June 10th and ends of July
7th. Midway comes St. John's Day, June 24th, the day

12500 BC (cfr the illustration above) - 6800 BC =
5700 years corresponds to 5700 / 26000 *
