81. The great myths cannot remain standing through the ages without firm support in form of common ground - what everyone will be able to see (understand, stand under, support) with their own eyes - i.e. the ultimate way of verification. (However, modern western science has taken the opposite approach, I understood from a recenct prominent cosmologist on the TV screen, for in order to avoid human bias only what could be measured by their instruments could be accepted.)

... On February 9 the Chorti Ah K'in, 'diviners', begin the agricultural year. Both the 260-day cycle and the solar year are used in setting dates for religious and agricultural ceremonies, especially when those rituals fall at the same time in both calendars. The ceremony begins when the diviners go to a sacred spring where they choose five stones with the proper shape and color. These stones will mark the five positions of the sacred cosmogram created by the ritual. When the stones are brought back to the ceremonial house, two diviners start the ritual by placing the stones on a table in a careful pattern that reproduces the schematic of the universe. At the same time, helpers under the table replace last year's diagram with the new one ...

When I was looking ahead in Cartes du Ciel - beyond the Boat (Zaurak) down in the Eridanus river - more evidence was quickly uncovered:

... Mandelbrot has shown us that Mother Nature is self-similar (re-assembling herself), and the same fundamental patterns will therefore return everywhere. This fact can be perceived only by a 'recycling view' - which is beyond the horizon of the traditional linear view of modern western civilization ...

     

In August 14 AD 2024 - precisely a month after the conjunction between Mars and Uranus -  there will be a conjunction between Mars and Jupiter.

And August 14 will be perceived as precisely half a year after February 14 (= 5 days after February 9).

... August 14 ought to correspond to half a year after February 14, and this was where the Sun would reach to the Head of the Lion. August 14 is also the title of a book by Solsjenitzyn regarding World War I and the army operations of Samsonov → Son of the Sun ...

The editors of Cartes du Ciel have chosen to put the symbol for Mars behind that of the yellow Jupiter instead of using a more reasonable view with Jupiter in the past (standing behind or supporting from below) his offspring youngster, as visualized by the amulets facilitating birth: Hei Tiki ( Tikitiki A Taranga):

... the progeny of Tu increased: Rongo, Tane, Tangaroa, Rongomai, Kahukura, Tiki, Uru, Ngangana, Io, Iorangi, Waiorangi, Tahu, Moko, Maroro, Wakehau, Tiki, Toi, Rauru, Whatonga - these were the sons ...

On the other hand, only what is in the past can be clearly seen.

... For the Maori the past is an important and pervasive dimension of the present and future. Often referred to as the 'ever-present now', Maori social reality is perceived as though looking back in time from the past to the present. The Maori word for 'the front of' is mua and this is used as a term to describe the past, that is, Nga wa o mua or the time in front of us. Likewise, the word for the back is muri which is a term that is used for the future. Thus the past is in front of us, it is known; the future is behind us, unknown. The point of this is that our ancestors always had their backs to the future with their eyes firmly on the past. Our past is not conceived as something long ago and done with, known only as an historical fact with no contemporary relevance or meaning. In the words of a respected Maori elder: The present is a combination of the ancestors and 'their living faces' or genetic inheritors, that is the present generations. Our past is as much the face of our present and future. They live in us ... we live in them ...

... Another name for Mercury was Hermes and Hermes Trismegisthos (thrice-mighty) could have referred to the fact that there were 3.141 * 115.88 = 364.0 days for the cycle of the Earth around the Sun. Although the calendar has 365 days for a year this is due to the fact that the Earth has to turn around an extra day in order to compensate for how the direction to the Sun changes during a year ...

... The expression 'within a year and a day' may have meant that the last day in such a year was December 30 with Sirius at the Full Moon, and with the following day 31 belonging as day zero in the following year - similar to how in the night of the New Moon she was invisible ...

If Mars in this season would follow the general flow of nakshatra nights - without jumping all around like a March hare - then the distance measured from July 22 (203), i.e. 226 - 203 = 23 days, ought to correspond to adding 23 glyphs to Gb5-6 (359) at *58.

... 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 ...
