196. There was indeed a kind of 'world wide
web' constructed from numbers and ideas - as from mud bricks and
mortals:
... and then,
with stunning abruptness, at a crucial date that can be almost
precisely fixed at 3200 BC (in the period of the archaeological
stratum known as Uruk B), there appears in this little Sumerian
mud garden - as though the flowers of its tiny cities were
suddenly bursting into bloom - the whole cultural syndrome that
has since constituted the
germinal unit of all the high civilization of the world
...
"The mayor in Gdansk, Jan Hevelcke
(Lat. Hevelius), gave in his book Prodromus names to some
areas in the sky where there were only few stars. This was in
the year1690, when there were no internationally recognized
borders for the constellations, which led to much confusion.
Therefore they wanted to fill out the empty spaces with new
small constellations. This way the Sextans, a type of
instrument which Hevelius himself had built, a place both in the
sky and in the modern star catalogues ..." (Klepešta)
You can measure a circle beginning
anywhere and evidently you could also quickly leap frog from one place in
this cosmic web to another - at least from certain well defined key points
of connection - given that you had the necessary knowledge.
... Space and time are a single, related
concept in Runasimi [the language of the Inca people],
represented by one word, pacha, which can also mean
'world' and 'universe'. The image of time familiar to
Waman Puma
was static and spatial: one could travel in time as one travels
over earth - the structure, the geography, remaining unchanged.
To him it does not matter that he shows Inka Wayna
Qhapaq, who died in 1525, talking to Spaniards who did not
arrive until 1532. Wayna Qhapaq was the last Inca to rule
an undivided empire: he is therefore
the archetype, and it must be he who asks the Spaniards. 'Do you
eat gold?' ...
... Far away, the Mangaians of old (Austral Islands,
Polynesia), who kept the precessional clock running instead
of switching over to 'signs', claim that
only at the evening
of the solstitial days can spirits enter heaven, the
inhabitants of the northern parts of the island at one
solstice, the dwellers in the south at the other ...
Considering the fact that the crossroads of ecliptic and
Galaxy are crisis-resistant, that is, not concerned with the
Precession, the reader may want to know why the Mangaians
thought they could go to heaven only on the two solstitial
days. Because, in order to 'change trains' comfortably, the
constellations that serve as 'gates' to the Milky Way must
'stand' upon the 'earth', meaning that they must rise
heliacally either at the equinoxes or at the solstices. The
Galaxy is a very broad highway, but even so there must have
been some bitter millenia when neither gate was directly
available any longer, the one hanging in midair, the other
having turned into a submarine entrance ...
... The ollave in ancient Ireland had to be master of
one hundred and fifty Oghams, or verbal ciphers, which
allowed him to converse with his fellow-poets over the
heads of unlearned bystanders; to be able to repeat at a
moment's notice any one of three hundred and fifty long
traditional histories and romances, together with the
incidental poems they contained, with appropriate harp
accompaniment; to have memorized an immense number of
other poems of different sorts; to be learned in
philosophy; to be a doctor of civil law; to understand
the history of modern, middle and ancient Irish with the
derivations and changes of meaning of every word; to be
skilled in music, augury, divination, medicine,
mathematics, geography, universal history, astronomy,
rhetoric and foreign languages; and to be able to
extemporize poetry in fifty or more complicated metres.
That anyone at all should have been able to
qualify as an ollave is surprising; yet families of
ollaves tended to intermarry; and among the Maoris of
New Zealand where
a curiously
similar system prevailed, the capacity of the ollave
to memorize, comprehend, elucidate and extemporate
staggered Governer Grey and other early British
observers ...
I guess the strange jumping across from morning to evening and
back again of the face of the planet Venus had been found necessary to integrate into
the ancient ideology of Cosmos. And from there it evidently
had to spread for instance to the behaviour of the Sun.
... What might lie behind this
statement is revealed by a
contemporary Mopán Maya tale in
which Lord K'in (the sun)
goes from his home in the east
to the center of the sky and
then back to the east again; it
appears that he goes clear
across the sky because he has
placed a mirror at its center.
To interpret the movements of
the sun in this manner is
to
model it on Venus as morning
star, which both rises and sets
in the east ...
A quick look at these 24 (→ 48 / 2)
panels above immediately reveals a basic
structure, where each figure returns again and again in a cycle of 5.
This must have been noticed already at the very beginning when
piercing eyes began to look at the night sky with interest. The
phenomenon was expressed on the stage of the path of the planets.
These 5 figures performed by Venus were numerically related in a
very special way. We have for instance recently once again
looked at 236:

... 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 ... |

The Venus difference 263 - 236 = 27 ought to come either immediately
before or immediately after these 236 morning star nights.
Reflecting back from the cycle of the Sun it seems reasonable to
assume 263 = 27 + 236 rather than 263 = 236 + 27. Because after
27 days would come the northern spring equinox.
In a way there were 27 dark nights to be explained, and they
seemed to arrive just before the reappearance of the Sun in
his yearly course. 8 (truly nights of Venus absent) + 27 (ideally
absent Venus days) = 35 → *350 /
10.

hundred and fifty long traditional histories and
romances, together with the incidental poems they
contained, with appropriate harp accompaniment ...
But then we ought add also the Venus difference 263 - 250 = 13,
which will result in 35 + 13 =
48.
... Ptolemy scientifically followed with
those now known as the ancient forty-eight, in the 7th and 8th
books of the Syntaxis, twelve of the zodiac with
twenty-one northern and fifteen southern, made up by 1028 [= 2 *
514] stars, including 102 αμόρφωτοι,
all probably from Hipparchos, although with some acknowledged
alterations by himself ...
Which implies we should count 13 days (glyphs) back prior to the
day of the
Ghost of Jupiter (Gb2-20).

together, were known as Heung Wu, the
Black Warrior, in the northern quarter of the

of unknown signification. On the Euphrates it
was Kakkab Nammaχ, the Star of Mighty
Destiny, that may have given origin to the title
of the manzil [Al Sa'd al Su'ud], as well
as to the astrologers' name for it - Fortuna
Fortunarum. Al Firuzabadi of Khorasan,
editor of Al Kāmūs, the great Arabic
dictionary of the 14th century, called some of
the smaller stars below this Al Au'ā, the
plural of Nau', a Star, but without
explanation, and they certainly are
inconspicious ...

... Midsummer is the flowering
season of the oak, which is the tree of endurance
and triumph, and like the ash is said to 'court the
lightning flash'. Its roots are believed to extend
as deep underground as its branches rise in the air
- Virgil mentions this - which makes it emblematic
of a god whose law runs both in Heaven and in the
Underworld ... The month, which takes its name from
Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th and
ends of July 7th. Midway comes St. John's Day, June
24th, the day on which the oak-king was
sacrificially burned alive. The Celtic year was
divided into two halves with the second half
beginning in July, apparently after a seven-day
wake, or funeral feast, in the oak-king's honour ...
