243. Let's now return
to the Mayas:
... Once again. According to the Mayas there
were 542 days from the last Creation to the
time when Hun-Nal-Ye entered (became)
the sky (och ta chan). I have copied
from my preliminary glyph type dictionary at
toki: ... the Palenque scribes
repeated Creation again and described it as
'it was made visible, the image at
Lying-down-Sky, the
First-Three-Stone-Place'. Then we learned
that five hundred and forty-two days later
(1.9.2 in the Maya system), Hun-Nal-Ye
'entered or became the sky' (och ta chan).
This 'entering' event occurred on February
5, 3112 BC

average) have moved 70
right ascension days ahead since then,
since the time when the Luckiest of the
Lucky had risen with the Sun at
the beginning of December and the Full Moon
had been at the beginning of June at Al Terf (the End),
i.e. at
the beginning of the Knot (Ukdah)
at the neck of the Water Serpent (Hydra):
This ought to have
been when the waters of late autumn
were finished, when the Hydra (water
serpent) had been bound like a
prisoner,
as could have been
observed in the night sky when in
early December (the 10th month) the
Full Moon had been at the neck of
the Hydra -
which ought to have meant the Sun
was soon about to be reborn as a
child.

... On February 9 the
Chorti Ah K'in,
'diviners', begin the agricultural year.
Both the 260-day cycle and the solar year
are used in setting dates for religious and
agricultural ceremonies, especially when
those rituals fall at the same time in both
calendars. The ceremony begins when the
diviners go to a sacred spring where they
choose five stones with the proper shape and
color. These stones will mark the five
positions of the sacred cosmogram created by
the ritual. When the stones are brought back
to the ceremonial house, two diviners start
the ritual by placing the stones on a table
in a careful pattern that reproduces the
schematic of the universe. At the same time,
helpers under the table replace last year's
diagram with the new one. They believe that
by placing the cosmic diagram under the base
of God at the center of the world they
demonstrate that God dominates the universe.
The priests place the stones in a very
particular order. First the stone that
corresponds to the sun in the eastern,
sunrise position of summer solstice is set
down; then the stone corresponding to the
western, sunset position of the same
solstice. This is followed by stones
representing the western, sunset position of
the winter solstice, then its eastern,
sunrise position. Together these four stones
form a square. They sit at the four corners
of the square just as we saw in the Creation
story from the Classic period and in the
Popol Vuh. Finally, the center stone is
placed to form the ancient five-point sign
modern researchers called the quincunx
... |
... In China, with Capricornus,
Pisces, and a part of Sagittarius,
it [Aquarius] constituted the early
Serpent, or Turtle, Tien Yuen;
and later was known as Hiuen Ying,
the Dark Warrior and Hero, or Darkly
Flourishing One, the Hiuen Wu,
or Hiuen Heaou, of the Han
dynasty, which Dupuis gave as Hiven Mao. It was a symbol of
the emperor Tchoun Hin, in
whose reign was a great deluge; but
after the Jesuits came in it became
Paou Ping, the
Precious Vase.
It contained three of the sieu, and
headed the list of zodiac signs as
the Rat, which in the far
East was the ideograph for 'water',
and still so remains in the almanacs
of Central Asia, Cochin China, and
Japan ...

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

The first 3-stone

equinox) days before the

'hole' (cave) in the mountain (mauga)
from where to count (hia):
... The sun was associated with water among
other ancient peoples too, e.g. among the
early Babylonians and among the Maya
indians: 'But beyond their role as points of
communication with the Underworld, James
Brady of George Washington University has
told us that in the Maya mind caves were
intimately associated with mountains, and
that it is in such caves that it was and
still is believed that fertilizing rain is
created before being sent into the sky; even
today ceremonies are held inside them at the
onset of the rainy season

Christianity and the door - the god
Llyr - will languish forgotten in
the Castle of Arianrhod, the

to understand the relationship at
Rome of Janus and the White Goddess
Cardea who is ... the Goddess of
Hinges who came to Rome from Alba
Longa. She was the hinge on which
the year swung - the ancient Latin,
not the Etruscan year - and her
importance as such is recorded in
the Latin adjective cardinalis
- as we say in English 'of cardinal
importance - which was also applied
to the four main winds; for winds
were considered as under the sole
direction of the Great Goddess until
Classical times ... |

84 days before 4 June (155) -
my restored date for the Mayan Creation - was day 71 (=
26,000 / 365¼)
when the Full Moon ought to have reached the first
3-stone place 2 days before π (3-14, 14 March, 73 = 365
/ 5). At that time the
Sun would have been half a year away at the
tail of the Scorpion, at a place of death (†)
-
whereas in contrast the Full Moon would have
been at the
Egg (*), at Beid in the River (Eridanus).
Therefore 3 stones at the
Full Moon ought to have marked a place of
death for the Sun,
... 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.
The original Arabic name, Al Hak'ah,
a White Spot, was from the added faint light
of the smaller
φ¹and
φ²
in the background, and has descended to us
as Heka and Hika.
These three stars were another of the
Athāfiyy [tripods used for cooking] of
the Arabs; and everywhere in early astrology
were thought, like all similar groups, to be
of unfortunate influence in human affairs.
They constituted the Euphratean lunar
station Mas-tab-ba-tur-tur, the
Little Twins, a title also found for
γ
and
η
Geminorum; and individually were important
stars among the Babylonians, rising to them
with the sun at the summer solstice, and,
with
α
and
γ,
were known as Kakkab Sar, the
Constellation of the King
...
... The Heka triplet is where we otherwise
would have expected to see a bright single
star representing Orion's head (when looking
from a location in the northern hemisphere)
...
λ
and the two stars phi furnish an easy
refutation of the popular error as to the
apparent magnitude of the moon's disc, Colas
writing of this in the Celestial Handbook
of 1892: In looking at this triangle nobody
would think that the moon could be inserted
in it;
but as the distance from
λ
to
φ¹
is 27', and the distance from
φ¹
to
φ²
is 33', it is a positive fact; the moon's
mean apparent diameter being 31' 7''. This
illusion, prevalent in all ages, has
attracted the attention of many great men;
Ptolemy, Roger Bacon, Kepler, and others
having treated of it. The lunar disc, seen
by the naked eye of an uninstructed
observer, appears, as it is frequently
expressed 'about the size of a
dinner-plate', but should be seen as only
equal to a peppercorn
...
and 3 days after MARCH 19 (78) was right
ascension day *1, i.e. 3 days after Beid
(life inside) was the Eye (life outside).
3 days after the Elbow
(Marfik,
κ
Herculis) was the Hand Behind (ε Ophiuchi).
Here (at Ca9-18) we can see 3 'stones' arranged
vertically with a tightly drawn string of
measurement in the middle. Perhaps this
could represent the first 3-stone place.
Although there was a pair of these
maitaki (good) glyphs:
... In Hindu legend there was a mother
goddess called Aditi, who had seven
offspring. She is called 'Mother of the
Gods'. Aditi, whose name means 'free,
unbounded, infinity' was assigned in the
ancient lists of constellations as the
regent of the asterism Punarvasu.
Punarvasu is dual in form and means 'The
Doublegood Pair'. The singular form of this
noun is used to refer to the star Pollux. It
is not difficult to surmise that the other
member of the Doublegood Pair was Castor.
Then the constellation Punarvasu is
quite equivalent to our Gemini, the Twins
...
From
Castor to Pollux there were 3 days.
Maybe
we should read at least this part of the C text as
referring to the place defined from the Full
Moon. South of the equator
heliacal Ain was not a place of birth but
its opposite - i.e. when observed close
to the Full Moon it marked the same
season as that half a year away and
north of the equator when the Sun
reached Ain.
On the other hand, at the beginning of side
a on the G tablet we probably should read
the text heliacally. And then we can
understand how a pair of 3-stone maitaki
glyphs could refer to the 3 noteworthy stars
Alcyone, Pleione, and Atlas - although the
name Tau-toru (3 'stones' = 3
stars) alternatively could refer to the
3 Belt Stars of Orion.
