141. We should remember that the Chinese saw a water-deposit at the right hand of Orion, which was around 2 months later. APRIL 17 (107) - FEBRUARY 20 (51) = 56 days (8 weeks):
And, we remember, The Moist One was a Hindu name (Ardra) for Betelgeuze (α Orionis, *88), visible at the center of the Winter Hexagon
I think the idea of a 1st Word could correspond not only to the primitive fabric without stabilizing cross-threads used in the early days of humankind, ... At this point an odd reflection occured to the European. The first imperfect Word was associated with a technical process, simple in character and no doubt the most archaic of all processes, which had produced the most primitive form of clothing made of fibre. The fibre, which was neither knotted nor woven, flowed in a wavy line, and might be said therefore to be of one dimension. The second Word, less restricted than the first, arose from weaving, done on a wide warp crossed by vertical threads forming a surface, that is to say, having two dimensions ... but also to the same very ancient time when Man dared take possession of the rich fresh water rivers in order to fish and to travel without much effort up and down these wavy water ways. The 2nd Word could then refer to the age when Man created agricultural fields nourished by expanding the flow of river water inlands, i.e. by digging ditches. ... 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 ...
Then would come the crowning achievement in form of the 3rd Word, by moving upwards, closer to the sources of the river waters, in order to secure the sweet water supply for the fields also in times when there were years with very little water in the rivers. ... The high point of this tremendous feat by Maui of lifting the ecliptic 'fish' thus seems to have occurred around 46 * 71 = 3266 years ago, i..e. around AD 1842 - 3266 = 1424 BC (from where a powerful and lasting period with no rain would cause the downfall of the Bronze Age empires of the Middle East) ... They created upraised terraces, dams, and underground canals in order to minimize evaporation and to securely lead the proper amount of water down to the proper places. ... Water, which is the divine seed, was thus able to enter the womb of the earth and the normal reproductive cycle resulted in the birth of twins. Two beings were thus formed. God created them like water. They were green in colour, half human beings and half serpents. From the head to the loins they were human: below that they were serpents. Their red eyes were wide open like human eyes, and their tongues were forked like the tongues of reptiles. Their arms were flexible and without joints. Their bodies were green and sleek all over, shining like the surface of water, and covered with short green hairs, a presage of vegetation and germination ... ... All that was certain was that it had not been merely decorative or ceremonial. On the contrary, it seemed almost as though it might have functioned as some kind of arcane 'device' or machine. Deep within its bowels, archaeologists had discovered a complex network of zigzagging stone channels, lined with fine ashlars. These had been meticulously angled and jointed (to a tolerance of one-fiftieth of an inch), and had served to sluice water down from a large reservoir at the top of the structure, through a series of descending levels, to a moat that encircled the entire site, washing against the pyramid's base on its southern side ...
