229. Once again. To get rid of ancient customs and replace them with new ones, which were better in tune with the new positions of the stars in the Sun calendar, it could have been necessary to characterize such old ones as evil:

... From the flames there rose a crossbow, // Golden bow from out the furnace; // 'Twas a gold bow tipped with silver, // And the shaft shone bright with copper. And the bow was fair to gaze on, // But of evil disposition // And a head each day demanded, // And on feast-days two demanded,

He himself, smith Ilmarinen, // Was not much delighted with it, // So he broke the bow to pieces, // Cast it back into the furnace.

... And a boat rose from the furnace, // From the heat rose up a red boat, // And the prow was golden-coloured, // And the rowlocks were of copper. And the boat was fair to gaze on, // But of evil disposition; // It would go to needless combat, // And would fight when cause was lacking ...
... And a heifer then rose upward, // With her horns all golden-shining, // With the Bear-stars on her forehead; // On her head appeared the Sun-disc. And the cow was fair to gaze on, // But of evil disposition; // Always sleeping in the forest, // On the ground her milk she wasted.

Therefore did smith Ilmarinen, // Take no slightest pleasure in her, // And he cut the cow to fragments, // Cast her back into the furnace.

... And a plough rose from the furnace, // With the ploughshare golden-shining, // Golden share, and frame of copper, // And the handles tipped with silver. And the plough was fair to gaze on, // But of evil disposition; // Ploughing up the village cornfields, // Ploughing up the open meadows,

Therefore did smith Ilmarinen // Take no slightest pleasure in it. // And he broke the plough to pieces, // Cast it back into the furnace ...

"EVIL ... f. IE. base *up- (see OVER, UP), the primary sense being 'exceeding due limits' ..." (English Etymology)

The evil figures had exceeded their boundaries, 'fallen down' (i.e. moved ahead in time) from their proper positions, and this could have been why both the Woman with a Bow and the Man with a Harrow were depicted down below the figures of the current zodiac:

They were no longer present up in the benevolent light from the Sun, no longer in 'graze' (as in the growing grasses of summer). The path of the Sun went not from the north to the south nor from the east to the west, but from the northeast to the southwest, from a place where the earth (Field) was under the waves to a place where the water was down in the Abyss.

... In the Dendera round zodiac Kjellson (Henry Kjellson, Forntidens teknik) carefully measured the distance from our own well known 12 zodiacal figures (painted grey in his illustration below) to a sequence of 11 unfamiliar bluemarked ones and found the result to be 21º as regards the position of the north pole:

But 21º is outside the range of the obliquity:

(22º 36' 41" + 24º 14' 07") / 2 = [(22 * 60 * 60 + 36 * 60 + 41)" + (24 * 60 * 60 + 14 * 60 + 7)"] / 2 = (81401 + 87247)" / 2 = 84324" = 23º 25' 24".

Therefore his bluepainted figures were probably arranged in timespace and not in spacetime. We can guess 21º represented 21 right ascension days, or rather - because zeroes were insignificant - 210 days.

... 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 ...

210 (blue days) + 366 (grey days) = 576 = 3 * 192 = 12 * 48 = 12 (29 + 19) = 348 (glyphs on side b of the C tablet) + 228 = 584 (cycle of Venus) - 8 ...

In the C text glyph number 183 + 210 = 393 (Cb1-1) was evidently positioned where in Roman times the First Point of Aries had been at the Full Moon, i.e. when the Sun at the time of rongorongo had reached right ascension day 210. Although the Julian equinox came 4 days later, like the number of the left hand tresses on the Pachamama statue in Bolivia:

In Kjellson's colour scheme Aries should no longer be grey but blue, because she had sunken down (moved ahead) from her position at 0h. However, by keeping the Sun calendar apart from the calendar of the fixed stars, separating them, the cosmic order could be kept intact - the culmination of Hamal could be observed earlier than at midnight.

... It was not long ago when I noticed in a little footnote of Allen that his culmination dates (which I have copied) were not for the midnights but as observed 3 hours earlier: 'In astrology α [Andromedae, Sirrah] portended honor and riches to all born under its influence. It comes to the meridian - culminates - at nine o'clock in the evening of the 10th of November [the π day]. All culminations mentioned in this work are for this hour ...'

"By reason of precession this constellation [Pisces] is now the first of the zodiac, but entirely within its boundaries lies the sign Aries; the vernal equinox being located in a comparatively starless region south of ω [Dzaneb] in the tail of the southwestern Fish, and about 2º west of 'a line from α Andromedae through γ Pegasi continued as far again'. This equinoctial point is known as the First Point of Aries, and the Greenwich in the Sky; and from their containing it, the Fishes are called the Leaders of the Celestial Host." (Allen)
