130. Then follows the corner in January 5
(370 → half the number of glyphs
on the C tablet), or 5 times 74 (→ the Male Goat, Al-maaz,
*74):
:
Perhaps the number of glyphs on the C tablet (392 + 348 = 740)
can be explained as 4 * 185. Because working with
the nakshatra
model for the first half of the year - from January 1 up
to and including July 4 - necessitates a reflection in the face
of the Full Moon, which then also should be 185 nights.
Furthermore, moving from the months of the Moon - reaching the
solstice in December 21 in day 12 * 29½ = 354 - might have
necessitated an addition with 16 days when the relevant early
morning stars would tend to still not have returned from the
blinding rays from the Sun. 354 + 16 = 370.

... Later
on in this series of
rituals, the Chorti
go through a ceremony they
call raising the sky. This
ritual takes place at
midnight on the twenty-fifth
of April and continues each
night until the rains
arrive. In this ceremony two
diviners and their wives sit
on benches so that they
occupy the corner positions
of the cosmic square. They
take their seats in the same
order as the stones were
placed, with the men on the
eastern side and the women
on the west. The ritual
actions of sitting down and
lifting upward are done with
great precision and care,
because they are directly
related to the actions done
by the gods at Creation. The
people represent the gods of
the four corners and the
clouds that cover the earth.
As they rise from their
seats, they metaphorically
lift the sky. If their
lifting motion is
uneven,
the rains will be irregular
and harmful ...
Ariki 1. King,

henua, king; members
of the royal family,

Divine being, superior

descendents of Hotu
Matu'a, who

functions. Vanaga.
Chief, king, lord,
headman in general.
Hakaariki, to make
one a king. P Pau.,
Mgv.: ariki,
chief. Mq.: aiki,
id. Ta.: arii,
id. The Marquesan use
both aiki and
hakaiki in the same
sense; the latter forms
with Mangarevan
akariki a
subordinate couple in
Southeast Polynesia.
Since akariki is
the only form in
Mangareva and the
Marquesas have both we
may regard this as
indicative of the
influence of Mangareva
upon the Marquesas. In
Tonga we find only
eiki; the vowel
change is quite in the
Tongan manner, the
dropping of the liquid
is most unusual; the
eiki form appears
once more in Mangarevan
ataeiki (also a
language in which it is
unusual to drop the
liquid) in the sense 'to
do nothing and to dress
richly in a luxurious
way'. Churchill.
...
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 ...

One might imagine this retrograde movement of the planet Mars
was perceived as an effort to close the gap of fhe Furrow.
... The Katawihi distinguish
two rainbows: Mawali in the west, and Tini
in the east. Tini and Mawali were twin
brothers who brought about the flood that inundated the
whole world and killed all living people, except two
young girls whom they saved to be their companions. It
is not advisable to look either of them straight in the
eye: to look at Mawali is to become flabby, lazy,
and unlucky at hunting and fishing; to look at Tini
makes a man so clumsy that he cannot go any distance
without stumbling and lacerating his feet against all
obstacles in his path, or pick up a sharp instrument
without cutting himself ...
... 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 ...
... 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 ...
... In the present context 'mouth'
has an additional connotation, given that it refers in
part to Heart of Earth,
the deity called 'Mundo' today. This is the great
Mesoamerican earth deity, the ultimate swallower of all
living beings, depicted in Classic Mayan art (in the
Palenque relief panels, for example) as an enormous pair
of jaws upon whose lips even the feet of great lords
must rest in precarious balance, and into whose
throat even great lords must fall.
Turning to the contemporary scene, daykeepers who visit
the main cave beneath the ruins of Rotten Cane, the last
Quiché capital, speak of the danger of falling into 'the
open mouth of the Mundo' there, which is said to
be more than four yards wide ...
... Five days of illumination, called
the 'Lighting of the Flame' (which in the earlier
reading of this miracle play would have followed the
quenching of the fires on the dark night of the moon
when the king was ritually slain), preceded the five
days of the festival itself; and then the solemn
occasion (ad majorem dei gloriam) commenced. The
opening rites were under the patronage of Hathor. The
king, wearing the belt with her four faces and the tail
of her mighty bull, moved in numerous processions,
preceded by his four standards, from one temple to the
next, presenting favors (not offerings) to the gods.
Whereafter the priesthoods arrived in
homage before his throne, bearing the symbols of their
gods. More processions followed, during which, the king
moved about - as Professor Frankfort states in his
account - 'like the shuttle in a great loom' to
re-create the fabric of his domain, into which the
cosmic powers represented by the gods, no less than the
people of the land, were to be woven ...
... The king, wearing now a short, stiff archaic mantle,
walks in a grave and stately manner to the sanctuary of
the wolf-god Upwaut, the 'Opener of the Way',
where he anoints the sacred standard and, preceded by
this, marches to the palace chapel, into which he
disappears. A period of time elapses during which the
pharaoh is no longer manifest. When he reappears he is
clothed as in the Narmer palette, wearing the kilt with
Hathor belt and bull's tail attatched. In his
right hand he holds the flail scepter and in his left,
instead of the usual crook of the Good Shepherd, an
object resembling a small scroll, called the Will, the
House Document, or Secret of the Two Partners, which he
exhibits in triumph, proclaiming to all in attendance
that it was given him by his dead father Osiris,
in the presence of the earth-god Geb. 'I have
run', he cries, 'holding the Secret of the Two Partners,
the Will that my father has given me before Geb.
I have passed through the land and touched the four
sides of it.
I traverse
it as I desire.'
