491. On Hawaii they counted 33 days
from the return of the Pleiades in the evening sky to the winter
solstice:
... The correspondence between the
winter solstice and the kali'i
rite of the Makahiki is
arrived at as follows: ideally, the
second ceremony of 'breaking the
coconut', when the priests assemble
at the temple to spot the rising of
the Pleiades, coincides with the
full moon (Hua tapu) of the
twelfth lunar month (Welehu). In
the latter eighteenth century, the
Pleiades appear at sunset on 18
November. Ten days later (28
November), the Lono effigy
sets off on its circuit, which lasts
twenty-three days, thus bringing the
god back for the climactic battle
with the king on 21 December, the
solstice (= Hawaiian 16 Makali'i). The
correspondence is 'ideal' and only
rarely achieved, since it depends on
the coincidence of the full moon and
the crepuscular rising of the
Pleiades ...

... 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'
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
... |
There
were 420 (7 * 60) glyphs
from Sirrah at the Full
Moon to Cb2-4. And then
there were 320 (= 8 *
40) glyphs to the end of
the text. Possibly the
Pleiades year was
counted as 320 right
ascension days. 84 + 320
= 364 + 40.
On Hawaii
the Rogo (Lono)
effigy was set off on
its circuit 23 days
before the December
solstice. And 64 - 41 =
23, which possibly means
we should use the
time-frame of Bharani
when naming dates. When
the Sun reached the Club
of Hercules (Cujam) in
December 2 (336 = 320 +
16), then one could
count 336 - 64 = 272 (=
2 * 136) in order to
find SEPTEMBER 29 (→ 72
* 9 = 648) at the time
of the Bull. And 272 + 23
= 295 (10 lunar synodic
months)
→
"October 22
when the Sun reached
Cujam.
Notably
the star at the south
Pole, Dramasa, was
located precisely at right
ascension line *320 (=
400 - 80).
