7. Initially I had intended to
simply follow the developments of Venus with my own eyes in the
evenings in order to see when she eventually
would disappear for 8 nights in a row, then to return and being reborn as a morning star.
But now it is unavoidable, I have
instead to via Cartes du Ciel concentrate on following the path of Mars.

There seems to be more than one loop
(... 'backward loops' ...),
and possibly they could be located somewhat like mirror twins at opposite sides of the
Martian year.
I decided to begin by moving ahead
from the
Crab
Nebula (M1) in order to
explore where Mars was heading from that fundamental cardinal
point.
I.e., from the point
in the evening sky when Mars according to Cartes du Ciel had been
visible in November 6 in AD 2022, viz. just outside
the pair of Bull horns and very close to the star
121 Tauri:
To make it more clear: The Crab Nebula is located 3
days after the tip of the northern ('butting') horn El-nath
and in the day preceding the Heavenly Gate (ζ
Tauri):

... Menkaure was
allegedly a much more benevolent Pharaoh than
his predecessors. According to legends related
by Herodotus, he wrote the following: This
Prince (Mycerinus) disapproved of the
conduct of his father, reopened the temples and
allowed the people, who were ground down to the
lowest point of misery, to return to their
occupations and to resume the practice of
sacrifice. His justice in the decision of causes
was beyond that of all the former kings. The
Egyptians praise him in this respect more highly
than any other monarchs, declaring that he not
only gave his judgements with fairness, but
also, when anyone was dissatisfied with his
sentence, made compensation to him out of his
own purse and thus pacified his anger. The Gods
however ordained that Egypt should suffer
tyrannical rulers for a hundred and fifty years
according to this legend. Herodotus goes on: An
oracle reached him from the town of Buto,
which said 'six years only shalt thou live upon
this earth, and in the seventh thou shalt end
thy days'. Mycerinus, indignant, sent an
angry message to the oracle, reproaching the god
with his injustice - 'My father and uncle,' he
said 'though they shut up the temples, took no
thought of the gods and destroyed multitudes of
men, nevertheless enjoyed a long life; I, who am
pious, am to die soon!' There came in reply a
second message from the oracle - 'for this very
reason is thy life brought so quickly to a close
- thou hast not done as it behoved thee. Egypt
was fated to suffer affliction one hundred and
fifty years - the two kings who preceded thee
upon the throne understood this - thou hast not
understood it'. Mycerinus, when this
answer reached him, perceiving that his doom was
fixed, had lamps prepared, which he lighted
every day at eventime, and feasted and enjoyed
himself unceasingly both day and night, moving
about in the marsh-country and the woods, and
visiting all the places he heard were agreeable
sojourns. His wish was to prove the oracle
false, by turning night into days and so living
twelve years in the space of six ...

The precession since the Golden Age of the Bull
had carried the fixed stars ahead with 64 right
ascension days in the calendar, because the Sun had come earlier and
earlier in the meantime.
Evidently we can use the dates according to the era of
Bharani (*41.4) in order to
try to correlate the beginning of the rongorongo text on
the Small Santiago
Table with the dates in the early November AD
2022. Although the equation January 20 - November 6
= 300 / 4 creates a problem: 365 + 75 = 440
→ 22 * 20.
In the star map above Mars is close to the star 121
Tauri, which suggests May 1 (Beltaine,121, *41). But
Bharani is 41 Arietis, which instead suggests 121 -
41 = 80 as in the day number for March 21 (0h).
We have to add half a diurnal cycle to
the Sun calendar dates in order to find the
nakshatra dates
which should be carrying the corresponding stars only visible in
the nighttime.
We have here stumbled, it seems, upon what could
be the main reason
for why Musca Borealis (the Northern Fly) had been chosen as
a point
of reference by the Arabs:
... From a religious point of
view, the high regard for flies, whose increase
or reduction causes a similar increase or
reduction in the size of the human population,
is interesting, even more so because swarms of
flies are often a real nuisance on Easter
Island, something most visitors have commented
on in vivid language. The explanation seems to
be that there is a parallel relationship between
flies and human souls, in this case, the souls
of the unborn. There is a widespread belief
throughout Polynesia that insects are the
embodiment of numinous beings, such as gods or
the spirits of the dead, and this concept
extends into Southeast Asia, where insects are
seen as the embodiment of the soul ...
... Then King Matua said to
Hotu, 'You must not forget [he mee o rehu]
the flies [te takaure] when you take
along (all the things that are necessary) and
sail off. If
you forget the flies [ana rehu i a koe te
takaure], the multitude (piere) of
the people will disappear [he ngaro].
When you reach the land [ana tomo ki runga.ki
tou kainga] to which you are travelling [ena
koe ka oho], it will be over quickly (?) for
the multitude of the people. When the flies die
[ana moko te ihu o te takaure], the human
population dies too [he moko tokoa te ihu o
tou piere tangata].' [E:57]

Musca Borealis is here
not listed but only inferred, because
the above are Sun stations carrying
150 days of summer. Insects are
normally not present in winter time. |
