Eridanus
the River
Homo erectus living in Java , Indonesia ,
half a million years ago used freshwater shellfish for the production of tools
and what appears to be art. These newly discovered engravings, described in
Nature this week, are the oldest ever found. We used to think that geometric
engravings were a sure sign of modern cognitive abilities, and experts have
long debated over the origins of these behaviors. "Until this discovery,
it was assumed that comparable engravings were only made by modern humans -
Homo sapiens - in Africa, starting about 100,000 years ago," Josephine
Joordens of Leiden
University says in a news
release. Not so, Asian Homo erectus appears to be fully capable of this
"modern" behavior as well. Analyzing
hundreds of samples collected in the 1890s from the main bone layer (called
Hauptknochenschicht) of the Trinil
site in Java, Joordens, a large international team found evidence for
the modification of the shells of a mollusk called Pseudodon. Dec 3. http://bit.ly/1AOcI5P
Trinil is a
palaeoanthropological site on the banks of the Bengawan
Solo River
(6s47; 112e33) in Ngawi Regency, East
Java Province , Indonesia .
Solo River
(alternatively, Bengawan
Solo River ,
with Bengawan being an Old Javanese word for river) is the longest river in the
Indonesian island of Java, it is approximately 600 km in length.
This news
should serve as an example of how eclipses that are over and long gone, continue
to affect events in our lives. Shown here is the chart for the last solar
eclipse of April 29, 2014 at the Trinil site . The eclipse [9ta] is conjunct the star Azha, eta Eridanus
[9ta]. Eridanus was an ancient celestial river. As a symbol, a river relates to
the creative power of nature and time and everything transitory: the flux of
the world and the irreversible passage of time.
Unlike earthly rivers, Eridanus is depicted flowing upstream symbolizing
a return to the past. The discovery of
an ancient artifact is, therefore, quite appropriate under stars of Eridanus so
that among events in this area Diana Rosenberg lists “discoveries of
pre-historic art, artifacts and fossils”. What is also interesting is that
discoveries have taken place on the banks of the Bengawan Solo
River – an earthly manifestation
of the celestial river Eridanus!
As we have
seen so often in previous posts, the essence of eclipses come into into
manifestation when the progressed angles touch important configurations. Shown
here is the eclipse chart progressed to December 3, the date of the news. Notice
the alignment of the angles to the Grand Cross. Also notice that the eclipse
throws a quincunx aspect to Mars on the descendant.
Finally,
let us remember that the Uranus-Pluto square (brought to the angles) is
connected with discoveries or the bringing to light (Uranus) all that is hidden
(Pluto). As if confirming our thesis that this square has played an important
part in the discovery, we find a chart drawn for the exact time of the sixth
Uranus-Pluto square that took place on December 15, has it prominently placed
on the angles.
