191. Once again. New life (hua,
offspring) had to be carried by a female and
therefore there had to be a change of sex at
Alnilam where the benevolent and soft Menkaure
had been emasculated. The male Belt (Mintaka)
became a female Girdle (Alnitak). But
south of the equator such a sex change
should go in the opposite direction, because
the seasons were upside down compared to those in the
north.
...
Atea then became the wife of
Rua-tupua-nui, Source of Great
Growth, and they became the parents of
all the celestial beings, first the
shooting stars, then the Moon and the
Sun, next the comets, then the multitude
of stars and constellations, and finally
the bright and dark nebulae. When this
tremendous task had been accomplished
Atea took a third husband,
Fa'a-hotu, Make Fruitful. Then
occurred a curious event. Whether
Atea had wearied of bringing forth
offspring we are not told, but certain
it is that Atea and her husband
Fa'a-hotu exchanged sexes. Then
the eyes of Atea glanced down at
those of his wife Hotu and they
begat Ru. It was this Ru
who explored the whole earth and divided
it into north, south, east, and west

... Al Maisān, the title
of
γ
Geminorum, by some error of
Firuzabadi was applied to this
star as Meissa, and is
now common for it. Al Sufi
called it Al Tahāyī; but
Al Ferghani and Al Tizini knew
it as Rās al Jauzah, the
Head of the Jauzah, which it
marks.

... Menkaure was
allegedly a much more benevolent
Pharaoh than his predecessors.
According to legends related by
Herodotus, he wrote the
following :
This Prince (Mycerinus)
disapproved of the conduct of
his father, reopened the temples
and allowed the people, who were
ground down to the lowest point
of misery, to return to their
occupations and to resume the
practice of sacrifice. His
justice in the decision of
causes was beyond that of all
the former kings. The Egyptians
praise him in this respect more
highly than any other monarchs,
declaring that he not only gave
his judgements with fairness,
but also, when anyone was
dissatisfied with his sentence,
made compensation to him out of
his own purse and thus pacified
his anger .
The Gods however ordained that
Egypt should suffer tyrannical
rulers for a hundred and fifty
years according to this legend.
Herodotus goes on :
An oracle reached him from the
town of Buto, which said
'six years only shalt thou live
upon this earth, and in the
seventh thou shalt end thy
days'. Mycerinus,
indignant, sent an angry message
to the oracle, reproaching the
god with his injustice - 'My
father and uncle,' he said
'though they shut up the
temples, took no thought of the
gods and destroyed multitudes of
men, nevertheless enjoyed a long
life; I, who am pious, am to die
soon!'
There came in reply a second
message from the oracle - 'for
this very reason is thy life
brought so quickly to a close -
thou hast not done as it behoved
thee. Egypt was fated to suffer
affliction one hundred and fifty
years - the two kings who
preceded thee upon the throne
understood this - thou hast not
understood it'. Mycerinus,
when this answer reached him,
perceiving that his doom was
fixed, had lamps prepared, which
he lighted every day at
eventime, and feasted and
enjoyed himself unceasingly both
day and night, moving about in
the marsh-country and the woods,
and visiting all the places he
heard were agreeable sojourns.
His wish was to prove the oracle
false, by turning night into
days and so living twelve years
in the space of six

The change of sex at
Alnilam was where
once upon a time a new dawn had broken and
at the time of Bharani the Full Moon had

182. Glyph 420 seems to
illustrate a
place for
rain (ua)
and
according to
some views
in South
America the
conjunction
betwen Sky
and Earth
was enabled
by rain:
... In South America the
rainbow has
a double
meaning. On
the one
hand, as
elsewhere,
it announces
the end of
rain; on the
other hand,
it is
considered
to be
responsible
for diseases
and various
natural
disasters
[dis-aster].
In its first
capacity the
rainbow
effects a
disjunction
between the
sky and the
earth which
previously
were joined
through the
medium of
rain. In the
second
capacity it
replaces the
normal
beneficient
conjunction
by an
abnormal,
maleficient
one - the
one it
brings about
itself
between sky
and earth by
taking the
place of
water ...
The first conjuntion
between the
nighttime
planets (7)
and the
daytime
month (30)
occurred at
210:
... The sitting figures in
two rows at
the top are
the 42
Judges
(Assessors)
of the Dead.
... 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 ...
But since both the Moon and
her sister
the Earth
Mother were
divided into
a growing
and a
dormant
phase the
first
conjunction
should occur
at 2 * 210 =
420. I.e.,
420 = 7
(Earth
Mother) * 60
(Sky) = 70 *
6. Or by
ignoring the
zeroes: 6
(Sun) * 7
(Moon) = 42
(= 50 - 8).
... On the day when
Tîstar
produced the
rain, when
its seas
arose
therefrom,
the whole
place, half
taken up by
water, was
converted
into seven
portions;
this
portion, as
much as
one-half, is
the middle,
and six
portions are
around;
those six
portions are
together as
much as
Khvanîras

... All was now ready for departure except that there was no fire in the smithy. The ancestor slipped into the workshop of the great Nummo, who are Heaven's smiths, and stole a piece of the sun in the form of live embers and white-hot iron. He seized it by means of a 'robber's stick' the crook of which ended in a slit, open like a mouth. He dropped some of the embers, came back to pick them up, and fled towards the granary; but his agitation was such that he could no longer find the entrances. He made the round of it several times before he found the steps and climbed onto the flat roof, where he hid the stolen goods in one of the skins of the bellows, exclaiming: 'Gouyo!', which is to say. 'Stolen!'. The word is still part of the language, and means 'granary'. It is a reminder that without the fire of the smithy and the iron of hoes there would be no crops to store ...
During his descent the ancestor still possessed the quality of a water spirit, and his body, though preserving its human appearance, owing to its being that of a regenerated man, was equipped with four flexible limbs like serpents after the pattern of the arms of the Great Nummo. The ground was rapidly approaching. The ancestor was still standing, his arms in front of him and the hammer and anvil hanging across his limbs. The shock of his final impact on the earth when he came to the end of the rainbow, scattered in a cloud of dust the animals, vegetables and men disposed on the steps. When calm was restored, the smith was still on the roof, standing erect facing towards the north, his tools still in the same position. But in the shock of landing the hammer and the anvil had broken his arms and legs at the level of elbows and knees, which he did not have before.
He thus acquired the joints proper to the new human form, which was to spread over the earth and to devote itself to toil ...

... The Mahabharata insists on six as the number of the Pleiades as well as of the mothers of Skanda and gives a very broad and wild description of the birth and the installation of Kartikeya 'by the assembled gods ... as their generalissimo', which is shattering, somehow, driving home how little one understands as yet. The least which can be said, assuredly: Mars was 'installed' during a more or less close conjunction of all planets; in Mbh. 9.45 (p. 133) it is stressed that the powerful gods assembled 'all poured water upon Skanda, even as the gods had poured water on the head of Varuna, the lord of waters, for investing him with dominion'. And this 'investiture' took place at the beginning of the Krita Yuga, the Golden Age ... |
... They go inland at the land. The child nursed and tended grows up, is able to go and play. Each day he now goes off a bit further away, moving some distance away from the house, and then returns to their house. So it goes on and the child is fully grown and goes to play far away from the place where they live. He goes over to where some work is being done by a father and son. Likāvaka is the name of the father - a canoe-builder, while his son is Kiukava. Taetagaloa goes right over there and steps forward to the stern of the canoe saying - his words are these: 'The canoe is crooked.' (kalo ki ama). Instantly Likāvaka is enraged at the words of the child. Likāvaka says: 'Who the hell are you to come and tell me that the canoe is crooked?' Taetagaloa replies: 'Come and stand over here and see that the canoe is crooked.' Likāvaka goes over and stands right at the place Taetagaloa told him to at the stern of the canoe. Looking forward, Taetagaloa is right, the canoe is crooked. He slices through all the lashings of the canoe to straighten the timbers. He realigns the timbers. First he must again position the supports, then place the timbers correctly in them, but Kuikava the son of Likāvaka goes over and stands upon one support. His father Likāvaka rushes right over and strikes his son Kuikava with his adze. Thus Kuikava dies. Taetagaloa goes over at once and brings the son of Likāvaka, Kuikava, back to life. Then he again aligns the supports correctly and helps Likāvaka in building the canoe. Working working it is finished ... |
... They all sat down and rested [on the plain of Oromanga], when suddenly they saw that a turtle had reached the shore and had crawled up on the beach. He [Ira] looked at it and said, 'Hey, you! The turtle has come on land!' He said, 'Let's go! Let's go back to the shore.' They all went to pick up the turtle. Ira was the first one to try to lift the turtle - but she didn't move. Then Raparenga said, 'You do not have the necessary ability. Get out of my way so that I can have a try!' Raparenga stepped up and tried to lift the turtle - but Raparenga could not move her. Now you spoke, Kuukuu: 'You don't have the necessary ability, but I shall move this turtle. Get out of my way!' Kuukuu stepped up, picked up the turtle, using all his strength. After he had lifted the turtle a little bit, he pushed her up farther. No sooner had he pushed her up and lifted her completely off the ground when she struck Kuukuu with one fin. She struck downward and broke Kuukuu's spine.The turtle got up, went back into the (sea) water, and swam away. All the kinsmen spoke to you (i.e. Kuukuu): 'Even you did not prevail against the turtle!'
They put the injured Kuukuu on a stretcher and carried him inland. They prepared a soft bed for him in the cave and let him rest there. They stayed there, rested, and lamented the severely injured Kuukuu. Kuukuu said, 'Promise me, my friends, that you will not abandon me!' They all replied, 'We could never abandon you!' They stayed there twenty-seven days in Oromanga. Everytime Kuukuu asked, 'Where are you, friends?' they immediately replied in one voice, 'Here we are!' They all sat down and thought. They had an idea and Ira spoke, 'Hey, you! Bring the round stones (from the shore) and pile them into six heaps of stones!' One of the youths said to Ira, 'Why do we want heaps of stone?' Ira replied, 'So that we can all ask the stones to do something.' They took (the material) for the stone heaps (pipi horeko) and piled up six heaps of stone at the outer edge of the cave. Then they all said to the stone heaps, 'Whenever he calls, whenever he calls for us, let your voices rush (to him) instead of the six (of us) (i.e., the six stone heaps are supposed to be substitutes for the youths). They all drew back to profit (from the deception) (? ki honui) and listened. A short while later, Kuukuu called. As soon as he had asked, 'Where are you?' the voices of the stone heaps replied, 'Here we are!' All (the youths) said, 'Hey, you! That was well done!' ... |
... Vainamoinen set about building a boat, but when it came to the prow and the stern, he found he needed three words in his rune that he did not know, however he sought for them. In vain he looked on the heads of the swallows, on the necks of the swans, on the backs of the geese, under the tongues of the reindeer. He found a number of words, but not those he needed. Then he thought of seeking them in the realm of Death, Tuonela, but in vain. He escaped back to the world of the living only thanks to his potent magic. He was still missing his three runes. He was then told by a shepherd to search in the mouth of Antero Vipunen, the giant ogre. The road, he was told, went over swords and sharpened axes. Ilmarinen made shoes, shirt and gloves of iron for him, but warned him that he would find the great Vipunen dead. Nevertheless, the hero went. The giant lay underground, and trees grew over his head. Vainamoinen found his way to the giant's mouth, and planted his iron staff in it. The giant awoke and suddenly opened his huge mouth. Vainamoinen slipped into it and was swallowed. As soon as he reached the enormous stomach, he thought of getting out. He built himself a raft and floated on it up and down inside the giant. The giant felt tickled and told him in many and no uncertain words where he might go, but he did not yield any runes. Then Vainamoinen built a smithy and began to hammer his iron on an anvil, torturing the entrails of Vipunen, who howled out magic songs to curse him away. But Vainamoinen said, thank you, he was very comfortable and would not go unless he got the secret words. Then Vipunen at last unlocked the treasure of his powerful runes. Many days and nights he sang, and the sun and the moon and the waves of the sea and the waterfalls stood still to hear him. Vainamoinen treasured them all and finally agreed to come out. Vipunen opened his great jaws, and the hero issued forth to go and build his boat at last ...

And at
the end of the last
Ice Age the pyramid
of Khufu would have
stood in conjunction
with the female
Sphinx Lioness:
...
When around 10500 BC
the Leo
constellation had
risen with the Sun
at the northern
spring equinox (0h)
Orion would have
been there a quarter
of a year earlier in
midwinter. Right
ascension increases
towards the east.
From
Betelgeuze (*88) to
Regulus (*152) there
were *64 right
ascension days. The
Sphinx pointed at
Leo and the 3 great
pyramids towards the
triplet of stars in
Orion's Belt (Tau-toru)
which came earlier
in the year:
This could explain
why the Sphinx had a
male face - she had
become
half male:
And it also could
explain why in the
flow of time the
swimmer at midway had
to be twisted around
drastically from
looking up into
looking down,
eventually to become
imprisoned in a
coffin or basket (or
flesh-eater,
sarcophagus):
... the great high
priest and monarch
of the Golden Age in
the Toltec city of
Tula, the
City of the Sun, in
ancient Mexico,
whose name,
Quetzalcoatl,
has been read to
mean both 'the
Feathered Serpent'
and 'the Admirable
Twin', and who was
fair of face and
white of beard, was
the teacher of the
arts to the people
of pre-Columbian
America, originator
of the calendar, and
their giver of
maize. His virgin
mother, Chimalman
- the legend tells -
had been one of the
three sisters to
whom God, the
All-Father, had
appeared one day
under his form of
Citlallatonac,
'the morning'. The
other two had been
struck by fright,
but upon
Chimalman God
breathed and she
conceived. She died,
however, giving
birth, and is now in
heaven, where she is
revered under the
honourable name of
'the Precious Stone
of Sacrifice',
Chalchihuitzli.
Quetzalcoatl,
her child, who is
known both as the
Son of the Lord of
the High Heavens and
as the Son of the
Lord of the Seven
Caves, was endowed
at birth with
speech, all
knowledge, and all
wisdom, and in later
life, as
priest-king, was of
such purity of
character that his
realm flourished
gloriously
throughout the
period of his reign.
His temple-palace
was composed of four
radiant apartments:
one toward the east,
yellow with gold;
one towards the
west, blue with
turquoise and jade;
one toward the
south, white with
pearls and shells;
one towards the
north, red with
bloodstones -
symbolizing the
cardinal quarters of
the world over which
the light of the sun
holds sway. And it
was set wonderfully
above a mighty river
that passed through
the midst of the
city of Tula;
so that every night,
precisely at
midnight, the king
descended into the
river to bathe; and
the place of his
bath was called 'In
the Painted Vase',
or 'In the Precious
Waters' ...
