... Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame. Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah, He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection. - Qur'an, chapter 37 (As-Saaffat), verse 139–144. But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness, And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind. And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more. And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while. - Qur'an, chapter 37 (As-Saaffat), verse 145–148 ...

In ancient Egypt the god of eternity was Heh - in the midst of signs for fresh water in form of a pair of tadpoles:

And this emblem, only slightly different, we can recognize also in ancient Mesopotamia; here with the name of the Great One:

The Great One was standing on a Fish, which confirms the idea that our Aquarius was the same figure, because immediately below him was the Southern Fish:

And, the Mouth of this Fish down in the south (29° 53′ S) - Fom-al-Haut -  was probably intended to mark where the life cycle of Mother Nature was due to begin anew. We have documentation of where this place was, both in form of culmination (at 21h) and of heliacal rising:

In my table above we can see that March 3 (*348) was the day for the heliacal rising of Fomalhaut, and that October 25 was its culmination night - significantly 236 (= 8 * 29½) right ascension days later.

We have recently visited the culmination of Fomalhaut at Gb4-16 (107 → 2 * 236 - 365 = 1½ * 314 - 364), in the day where the Sun was due to be, so to say, 'pushed up' by Cetus. And in the following night would therefore come  the culmination of Fum-al-Samakah (Samekh) in the northern hemisphere (03° 49′ N)

... In rongorongo times the last Greek lettered star in Orion (ξ) rose with the Sun in June 21. The letter seems to have originated from the Phoenician letter samekh (tent peg, supporting prop), which in turn may have been derived from the ancient Egyptian djed column ...

... It must be admitted, however, that the task of raising the sky was not always a long and arduous one. In the New Hebrides of Melanesia the sky was formerly so low overhead that a woman who was pounding roots in a mortar happened to strike the sky with her pestle. Greatly annoyed at the interruption she looked up and cried angrily, 'Go on up higher!' Whereat the sky meekly obeyed her ...

... The old man gave the Raven two small sticks, like gambling sticks, one black, one multicoloured. He gave him instructions to bite them apart in a certain way and told him to spit the pieces at one another on the surface of the sea. The Raven climbed back up the pole, where he promptly did things backwards, just to see if something interesting would occur, and the pieces bounced apart. It may well be some bits were lost. But when he gathered  what he could and tried again - and this time followed the instructions he had been given - the pieces stuck and rumpled and grew to become the mainland and Haida Gwaii ...
