From CER AC to Herakles and Hera, part 3,
the lunisolar calendar of Lascaux

Marie E.P. Koenig identified the Lascaux horse with
the sun, the bull with the moon, and the descending
horse in the niche at the far end of the axial gallery,
giving way to a pair of opposing ibices, with midwinter.
From this I concluded that the glorious rotunda of the
Lascaux cave represents midsummer, the red horse
midsummer morning, and the white bull running along
with the red horse a full moon occurring on June 21
of our calendar (an assumption of last year for which
I found evidence yesterday: the white bull is actually
the full moon, indicated by the sign of nine elements
before him).

Lunations are calculated as follows: 30 29 30 29 30
29 30 29 30 29 30 .... 30 59 89 118 148 177 207 236
266 295 325 ... days or nights for 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
11 ... lunations.

The sacred lunisolar calendar of Lascaux is given by
a grid of 3 by 3 squares:

h 41 i 40 b 41

g 40 a 41 c 40

f 41 e 40 d 41

Let period 'a' begin on midsummer, June 21 of our
calendar, and let a full moon occur at the same time.
The eight periods a b c d e f g h last 41 41 40 41 40
41 40 41 days, all in all 325 days, which equals the
duration of 11 lunations. If a full moon occurs at the
begin of period a, it will again be full moon at the
end of period h and begin of period i. This goes on
over the next years. A full moon will occur at the
begin of the periods h g f e ...

8 continuous solar periods 11 lunations 325 days
16 continuous solar periods 22 lunations 649 days
24 continuous solar periods 33 lunations 974 days
32 continuous solar periods 44 lunations 1,298 days
40 continuous solar periods 55 lunations 1,623 days
48 continuous solar periods 66 lunations 1,947 days
56 continuous solar periods 77 lunations 2,272 days
64 continuous solar periods 88 lunations 2,598 days

72 continuous solar periods: 2,920 days. 99 lunations
according to the above algorithm: 2,921 days. 99 actual
lunations: 2,923.528 days. 8 solar years: 2921.937 days.
The margin of error is less than four days in eight years.
So you can run the calendar for eight years, and then
make a readjustion. The lunar phase occurring at the
begin of period a of a new cycle of eight years will then
occur again at the begin of the periods i h g f e ...

Here the opposing ibices in the niche at the far end
of the axial gallery in the Lascaux cave:

Between the animals you see the sacred lunisolar
calendar. Marked are the three fields f 41 e 40 d 41.
These are the three winter periods. Midwinter occurs
in the middle of field e.

sacred and profane form please look up my Lascaux
thread from last year.

From CER AC to Herakles and Hera, part 2,
lunar phases, permutations of G E N

In my Lascaux thread from last year I presented a very
ancient algorithm for calculating lunations. Here again:
30 29 30 29 30 29 30 29 30 29 30 ... 30 59 89 118 148
177 207 234 266 295 325 ... days or nights for 1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... lunations.

Now for the lunar phases, a very fresh discovery from
this morning, permutations of G E N :

GEN --- sickle of the new moon, 3 days or nights, ancient
Greek genae for birth (...) time (...), Latin genus for birth,
origin (...), genae for cheeck (!), eye, socket of the eye
(consider the Egyptian Horus eye in its lunar aspect)

NGE --- waxing moon, 6 days or nights; ancient Greek
nikae for victory, Latin Nicaeus for Jupiter who grants
victory, his Greek alter ego was Zeus, consider Zeus
as a young, strong, and victorious bull

GNE --- full moon, 9 days or nights; ancient Greek ganao
for I shine, am resplendent, make a magnificient show

EGN --- waning moon, 6 days or nights, inverse of nge
for the waxing moon; Latin egens for beeing in need,
poor, hence lacking something

NEG --- sickle of the old moon, 3 days or nights, inverse
of gen for the sickle of the new moon; ancient Greek
nekros for dead, nekroo for I kill, take away strength and
life, Latin nego for no, I say no, deny

ENG --- the period when the old moon disappears in
a crack of the rock, while the new moon is licked out of
a crack of rock by the divine hind CER (ker), 3 or 2 days
or nights, inverse of gne for the full moon; Latin eneco for
I choke, strangle, German eng for narrow

The Altamira cave teems with bisons, the largest animal,
however, is a beautiful hind licking the horns of a small
bison under her head and neck. The head of another hind
is drawn on a ledge, in front of the head is a vertical crack
in the wall, the lower part of the crack forms a perfect
tongue -- the tongue by which the divine hind CER (ker)
licks the bisons or lunar bulls into life ... The many bulls
in the Altamira cave are lunations, time, saying: may
there be many bulls, lunar bulls, moons, many lunations,
plenty of time for us ... The Magdalenian shaman CER AC
became Indo-European Herakles, both a man and a woman
(see: Gregory E. Areshian, "Herakles, the Sun-God-Archer,
Tyr, and Kerberos" op.cit.). Herakles got very angry when
someone stole bulls. The anger is more plausible when we
understand the theft of the bulls as a shortening of time,
as a theft of lifetime.

In the magnificient rotunda of the Lascaux cave are shown
four large bulls. The one running along with the red horse
of midsummer morning has a sign of three short horizontal
strokes, three long vertical strokes, and again three short
horizontal strokes painted before his front; all in all a sign
of nine elements, marking him as the bull of the full moon:

www.seshat.ch/home/menhir6e.JPG

Opposing the bull of the full moon is a bull with a sign
of three strokes painted on his body, marking him as
the bull of the sickle of the new moon and the sickle
of the old moon. Behind follow two bulls marked with
4 plus 2 dots each, all in all 6 dots each, once on the
body, once above the body, marking them as the bulls
of the waxing moon and of the waning moon.

Last year I gave CA LUN as moon bull; Latin luna for
moon. The inverse NUL reminds of German Null for
nothing, Latin nihil. The rotunda of the Lascaux cave
shows the CA LUN, the visible moon. The phase of
the 3 or 2 days of the inivsible moon is, well, invisible.

Next time: the lunisolar calendar of Lascaux



From CER AC to Herakles and Hera,
part 1, divine hind-woman CER (ker)

Marie E.P. Koenig identified the Lascaux horse with the
sun, the bull with the moon, and the pair of opposing ibices
with midwinter. One year ago I proposed CA LAB, sky cold,
for the winter sun horse, CA BEL, sky warm, for the spring
sun horse, and CA BAL, sky hot, for the summer sun horse.
Now let me go for the permutations of B A L and B E L.

Pronounce the following six Magdalenian words with an
L-click (indicated by an exclamation mark):

B A !L or BAL --- hot; from a word field given by Richard
Fester, consider for example that Baal was originally
a volcano god

!L A B or LAB --- cold; inverse of bal, consider Lappland,
or the ice water stream Labrador

A !L B or ALB --- summer dawn; Latin alba for white,
Albania seen from Italy the land of the rising sun

B !L A or BLA --- winter dusk; black

A B !L or ABL --- rising midsummer sun; ancient Greek
ablaes for new (...), ablabaes for intact, not injured, hence
the fresh morning sun horse (negative form a-)

!L B A or LBA --- setting midwinter horse; ancient Greek
labae for weak spot (...), hence the sun horse hit by a
lance, the sinking and setting sun, weak as in midwinter

Pronounce the following six Magdalenian words with a
lip lick (produce the sound given as -: by touching both
lips with the tip of the tongue):

-: EB or LEB --- female, woman; Leben life

BE -: or BEL --- pretty, warm, lovely; belle

E -: B or ELB --- hind, hind-woman; ancient Greek elphae
for hind

B -: E or BLE --- offspring, all the animals licked into life
by the divine hind, the human species given birth to by
the goddess of life; Latin pleps for a multitude of people

-: BE or LBE --- tongue by which the divine hind licks
animals into life; Latin labia for tongue

EB -: or EBL --- a new moon or lunar bull licked into life
by the divine hind, a new sun climbing the sky from
midwinter onward, a new ruler; ancient Greek epilampos
for to light up, dawn (eb- as origin of epi?)

The divine hind CER (ker) is seen in the Altamira cave
as a beautiful very large hind licking the horns of a small
bison under her head and neck, while the tongue of another
hind (just the head of a hind drawn on a ledge) is formed
by a crack in the wall --- animals were believed to come out
of such cracks in rock. The marvelous bisons in the Altamira
cave are moons, ready to climb the sky, also lunations,
periods of time between 29 and 30 days or nights; the divine
hind was not only generating life but also time.

The heavenly emanation of the divine hind-woman CER (ker)
was Orion, flanked by a pair of opposing ibices, whose heads
and horns shape the sides of the hind-woman: Saiph - Alnitak
- Betelgeuse (left side), Rigel - Mintaka - Bellatrix (right side).
The horns of the young bison licked into life by the divine hind-
woman can be seen in the Hyads with Aldebaran (constellation
of Taurus), while the human race born by the goddess can be
seen in the bright star of Sirius ...

Coming next: Sacred calendar of Lascaux / male CER (ker)
present in Sagittarius and Scorpio, antlers of the divine stag /
divine stag ensuring the journey of the sun horse and moon
bull across the sky and the cavern of the Underworld, whose
entrances he protected with fires that are seen in an evening
red and morning red / divine stag ensuring the ascension of
the soul of a worthy ruler to the heavenly abode of the
Summer Triangle / divine stag CER protector of the shaman
CER AC, stag-man and hind-woman on an expanse of land
with water; shamans wearing stag antlers when performing
a cer-emony / tasks and duties of a shaman CER AC, for
example to teach aspiring rulers, to advice rulers, and to
oppose bad rulers / worthy shamans got a second life in the
summer and winter constellations of CER, wherefrom they
helped shamans on earth / AS CER, upward stag, became
ancient Greek hieros for sacred, and heros for hero / SA CER,
donward stag, became Latin sacer for sacred /// Later on,
CER AC became Indo-European Herakles and Hera / how the
labors of Herakles tell indirectly about the tasks and duties
of a Magdalenian shaman / how Herakles coped with a lion,
tamed dogs and horses / how he counted bulls, kept the
calendar running / how the divine guard of the Underworld
CER PIR, stag fire, became the helhound Kerberos guarding
the entrance to the Hades with fiery breath / how the male
and female arch-shaman CER MAS, the megaceros who
had stolen fire from KER PIR and given it to the humans,
became Hermaes ...
