American & Europe Tumulus Burial Mounds


The inhabitants of North America and Europe both built mounds.  In Europe mounds are called Tumulus.  It appears that part of our early culture included mound building. Tumulus is a Latin word meaning ‘A heap of earth’, mound, hill, knoll, hillock, a barrow, or grave.  The word for tomb in Latin is tumba which is derived from the same root word as tumulus which means ‘to swell’. The word tumulus is in the Latin Vulgate 6 times and 24 times when you include the other forms of this word (tumulum, tumulos, tumulis, tumuli). Below are example verses that contain the word tumulus or an alternative form of this word in the Latin Vulgate Bible of 382BC (older than the Masoretic text bible): 

And he said to his brethren: Bring hither stones. And they gathering stones together, made a heap [tumulus ], and they ate upon it.” DR Gen 31:46 (see Latin)

Thou shalt forthwith kill the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, and shalt destroy it and all things that are in it, even the cattle. And all the household goods that are there, thou shalt gather together in the midst of the streets thereof, and shalt burn them with the city itself, so as to consume all for the Lord thy God, and that it be a heap [tumulus] for ever: it shall be built no more.” DR Deu 13:15-16 (see Latin)

Except the cities that were on hills [collis] and high places [tumulis, plural of tumulus], the rest Israel burned: only Asor that was very strong he consumed with fire.” DR Jos 11:13 (see Latin)

And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, king David lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave [tumulum, singular from of tumulus, burial mound] of Abner: and all the people also wept.” DR 2 Sam 3:32 (see Latin)

And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have opened your sepulchres, and shall have brought you out of your graves [tumulis, plural of tumulus burial mound], O my people.” DR Eze 37:13 (see Latin)

Burial Mounds in Europe


There are thousands of ancient burial mounds (tumulus) all over Europe.  Below are just pictures of four European burial mounds; the links below show many more in Europe.

Burial Mounds in North America


Like Europe there are thousands of burial mounds in North America. 










Adena Culture mounds built between 1000 BC and 200 BC (before also):

Hopewell Culture mounds built between 200 BC and 500 AD:

Mississippi Culture mounds built between 800 AD and 1500 AD:

In 1848 many of the Mississippi Valley Mounds were surveyed and documented in this book:

Intaglio Burial Mounds on the West Coast of North America


There are also over 200 burial mounds in the Colorado Desert that are called Intaglio which is an Italian word for burial mound.  The most well-known intaglios are the ones in Blythe, California which is located next to the Colorado River.  I went to visit this mound in Blythe.




Conclusion


Burial mounds are part of our lost Israelite culture and can be found in many places around the world.  Pyramids are another form of burial mounds.  European culture and ancient American culture are very similar.

Old Stone Fort Solar Aligned Mounds


I visited the Old Stone Fort in Tennessee that possibly dates back to the time that Jesus Christ lived.  The Old Stone Fort was a place set-apart for religious ceremonies; therefore it was considered holy.  Holy is defined as ‘being set apart’ and dedicated to for a religious purpose.

The entrance to the ceremonial grounds is aligned to the summer solstice and only the descendants of Enoch, Noah’s grandfather, would have the knowledge solar alignments.  The book of Jubilees tells us that the first day of each season was to be celebrated; therefore tracking of the equinoxes and solstices was important.



Reflected below are the pictures I took during my visit to the Old Stone Fort during the Feast of Tabernacles in 2018.  I took pictures of what I saw as I walked the grounds and I also took pictures inside the museum that is located next to the entrance of the ceremonial grounds.



The Origin of the Old Stone Fort





Old Stone Fort Diagram




Summer Solstice Aligned Mound Entrance













Scared Ceremonial Ground





As stated above the book of Jubilees tells us that the first day of each season was to be celebrated.  It was part of our Father in Heaven’s covenant with Noah that the seasons would not change.

All the days of the earth, seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and spring, shall not cease by day or night.” Sep Gen 8:22






Ancient sites for ceremonies were normally held at places that had rivers because according to biblical law the Levites and the Priests performing the sacrifices were required to be fully cleansed:

Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and thou shalt purify them. And thus shalt thou perform their purification: thou shalt sprinkle them with water of purification, and a razor shall come upon the whole of their body, and they shall wash their garments, and shall be clean. And they shall take one calf of the herd, and its meat-offering, fine flour mingled with oil: and thou shalt take a calf of a year old of the herd for a sin-offering. And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of witness; and thou shalt assemble all the congregation of the sons of Israel. And thou shalt bring the Levites before the Lord; and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites. And Aaron shall separate the Levites for a gift before the Lord from the children of Israel: and they shall be prepared to perform the works of the Lord. And the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the calves; and thou shalt offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord, to make atonement for them.” Sep Num 8:6-12

Recorded in Chronicles, at this Passover a number of the Israelites had not purified themselves prior to the feast and Ezekiel prayed for them since this was against the laws of Moses.

And they stood at their post, according to their ordinance, according to the commandment of Moses the man of God: and the priests received the blood from the hand of the Levites. For a great part of the congregation was not sanctified; and the Levites were ready to kill the passover for every one who could not sanctify himself to the Lord. For the greatest part of the people of Ephraim, and Manasse, and Issachar, and Zabulon, had not purified themselves, but ate the passover contrary to the scripture. On this account also Ezekias prayed concerning them, saying, The good Lord be merciful with regard to every heart that sincerely seeks the Lord God of their fathers, and is not purified according to the purification of the sanctuary.” Sep 2 Ch 30:16-19

At the first Passover after they had been in captivity in Babylon they kept the Passover and that the priests and Levites were all purified.

And the children of the captivity kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. For the priests and Levites were purifiedall were clean to a man, and they slew the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves. And the children of Israel ate the passover, even they that were of the captivity, and every one who separated himself to them from the uncleanness of the nations of the land, to seek the Lord God of Israel.” Ezr 6:19-21

The law for cleaning lepers required running water:
And the priest shall give direction, and they shall kill one bird over an earthen vessel over running water.” Sep Lev 14:5 

The test for adultery also required running water:

And the priest shall take pure running water in an earthen vessel, and he shall take of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle of witness, and the priest having taken it shall cast it into the water.” Sep Num 5:17 
















The Old Stone Fort Area











Conclusion


I very much enjoyed seeing the Old Stone Fort.  I enjoyed seeing all the diagrams and how well maintained this site is. 

Europeans have been noticing the similarities of the ancient people that lived in America and the Israelites for at least a couple of hundred years now.  Dr. Boudinot wrote a book about the Indians and the feast days in 1816.  It is called ‘Star in the West’ and it can be downloaded here.  An 1838 newspaper article was written about this and it is shown in column 2:  here

Each time I go to one of these ancient sites I notice many white people there that are interested in the history of these places.  It is rare to see dark skinned people at one of these ancient sites.  One white lady I met the previous year told me she was interested in learning more about her ancestors and that is why she was at that ancient site. I believe many know or suspect these are ancient white people sites.

The Ancient Sun Cross, Solar Calendar & Jacob's Staff


The ancient sun cross has been found in many places. It is mostly found in Europe and North America.  It is an ancient Celtic and Anglo-Saxon symbol. The sun cross symbol was in use prior to Noah’s flood.  The sun cross can be traced back to Enoch’s solar calendar and Noah’s quarterly celebrations of the seasons established after the flood.  It is an ancient paleo-Hebrew symbol meaning ownership, seal and sign referring to our Father in Heaven. The standard cross can be traced back to Jacob's staff.



Sun Crosses in Heraldry



Sun Crosses on Shell Gorgets



Sun Crosses on Hieroglyphs



The Sun Cross was a very popular symbol in the Mississippi Valley and Southeast America in ancient times.  See this article for more information.  See this article to view the sun cross on an ancient cup found in Illinois

Sun Crosses Represents the Earth

The sun cross actually symbolizes the earth. 



 


The Ancient Mark or Sign

Two crossed sticks in the shape of an ‘X’ or ‘t’ in ancient paleo-Hebrew meant ‘owner’s mark’.  Therefore these ancient sun crosses are also an ancient mark indicating ownership belongs to their Father in Heaven.  


For more information, see Christian Flag history and the similar ‘Chi-Rho’ Jesus Christ symbol represented as ‘XP’.


Christians who were illiterate signed their name with the ‘x’ indicating they were Christians and belonged to their Father in Heaven.  Jews did oppose using the mark of an 'x' and instead used a circle to sign their name.


Ancient Solar Calendars

Reflected below are ancient calendar wheel of the year that the descendants of Noah used to track time.  They all tracked the Equinoxes and Solstices which are used to determine the start of each season.  Some calendars, like the Celtic and Tewa calendars, also tracked the midpoint between each season which is called cross quarter days.  The Celtic calendar also tracked the sun’s position in each constellation; this is used to determine a sidereal day (more info below).




The Celtic Wheel of the year is organized just like Enoch’s calendar says it should be organized.  It has four equal quarters of the year representing the four seasons. It is tracking the sun and the stars as described by Enoch.

Enoch’s Calendar

Enoch’s calendar is described in the Book of Enoch in chapter 82.  

“Blessed are all the righteous, blessed are all those who walk In the way of righteousness and sin not as the sinners, in the reckoning of all their days in which the sun traverses the heaven, entering into and departing from the portals for thirty days with the heads of thousands of the order of the stars, together with the four which are intercalated which divide the four portions of the year, which lead them and enter with them four days.” Enoch 82:4-5

Enoch goes on to tell that the solar year is divided into four quarters of 91 days each.  91 days divided by 7 days in each week equals 13 weeks for each quarter as the Book of Jubilees states.  Reflected below are the four quarters or seasons of the year described by Enoch:




Below is Enoch’s monthly calendar of 12 months each year:




Calendar legend:
·         NM – New Moon
·         G-SA – The Sabbath date on our current Gregorian calendar.
·         Red text – Holy feast day where no work is to be performed other than the work required to have the feast; however, the Sabbath is rest only.
·         Colored text – feast day

The ‘sun cross’ actually represents the earth’s four seasons based on the sun’s overhead position.  The Celtic Wheel of the Year and Tewa calendar are in agreement with Enoch’s calendar of four equal seasons of 91 days each.

Noah’s descendants implemented methods to track the sun, moon and the stars based instructions received from Noah’s grandfather Enoch. These instructions are documented in the book of Enoch and were given to Enoch by the angel Uriel. The sun and stars are used for telling time.  The moon is used as a sign and tool that also helped ensure the calendar is correct since the cycle of the moon repeats itself every three years as shown on the Dead Sea Scroll calendar.   

Noah’s descendants tracked the equinoxes and the solstices since they occur at the end of each quarter. This was verification that the new season or quarter would be starting.  They were not to actually celebrate the day of the equinox and solstices these were just time keeping tools to ensure their calendar was correct.  They were to celebrate the first day of each quarter.  I believe the reason they were not to celebrate the equinoxes and solstice is because the equinoxes occur on different dates around the world depending on where you live.  Alaska, for example has a longer winter than does Mexico.  Today our calendars give the date for the equinoxes and solstice based on universal time and not local time.  This is also true for the new moon and full moon dates on our printed calendar are also given based on universal time and not local time.   The date and time of the equinoxes and solstice have to do with the e circuit of the sun. 

In the sun he has set his tabernacle; and he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber: he will exult as a giant to run his course. His going forth is from the extremity of heaven, and his circuit to the other end of heaven: and no one shall be hidden from his heat.” Psa 19:5-6

A model of Enoch’s solar gates has been discovered in Peru that works just as Enoch and King David described (above).  Watch how the sun travels through the gates or tops of the hills as described by Enoch and King David.  This solar calendar is in the southern hemisphere so it is opposite of how we would use it in the northern hemisphere to tell the time of the year.



Here is an Inca solar calendar that works the same as the gates in Peru above.  The Inca gates do note the date of April 3rd, which was about when Passover occurred. These gates are in the northern hemisphere.


The diagram below shows how the circuit of the sun works using a ‘sun cross’ or ‘Celtic Cross’ to mark the earth’s equator and meridian.  The sun’s circuit stays always between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn which are marked positions on the earth.



The Enoch calendar given to Noah is based on the latitude of the earth and the sun’s course is between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.  The equator is the center point of the sun’s course.  Locations in the extreme north or south experience the season differently than those on the equator; therefore these extreme locations do not have equal seasons of 91 days each described in the book of Enoch and the book of Jubilees agrees stating 13 weeks for each season.

The circle on the Celtic cross represents the earth and the inner circle represents the sun’s direct impact of its rays shining on the earth between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.  The Sun reaches the observer's zenith when it is 90° above the horizon, and this only happens between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. So the sun’s tabernacle is between these two tropic lines and it where the sun runs its course.  The cross itself represents the meridian and the equator. If you place the cross on the equator the seasons are 91 days each like Enoch said.  There is a very ancient astronomical observatory in Ecuador called Monte Catequilla where the calculation is perfect and many believe this location is the true ‘middle of the world’.  The GPS location is 0°00'00.0"N 78°25'43.3"W.  Monte Catequilla has alignments to the equinoxes and solstices.

Monte Catequilla is the true ‘middle of the earth’ for determining the equinoxes and solstices since it meet these requirements:  The equinoxes and solstices are on the 91st day of each quarter and fall on a Tuesday.  The sun was created on the fourth day of the week, which is now called Wednesday (Gen 1:16); therefore the 91st day of the first quarter would fall on a Tuesday (see calendar below & DSS calendar).  The New Year must consistently begin in the spring on a Wednesday so that the Sabbath day is on Saturday and so the weekly cycle of seven days is never broken.  Our Sabbath day must continue to be in agreement with our Father in Heavens Sabbath day which is the seventh day (Gen 2:1-3).  According to the Dead Sea Scroll Temple Calendar on the first day of the year (first day of spring), every third year, there must be a full moon and on March 20, 2019 there will be a full moon (DSS, lunar cycle 1)





Today we define a year by the earth’s orbit around the sun which is called a topical year.  When the year makes one complete orbit around the sun and gets back to it starting position that is called a tropical year and that takes 365.25 days.  Enoch’s year was based on the sun’s position on the equator.  When the sun reaches its zenith on the equator during March a new year of 364 days begins.

Noah’s Quarterly Celebrations


The book of Jubilees provides more information than the book of Genesis does regarding the covenant that our Father in Heaven made with Noah and his descendants.  It states Noah’s descendants were to celebrate the first day of the first, fourth, seventh, and tenth months which use to be the first day of the beginning of each season on the old Enoch calendar, Celtic Wheel of the Year and the Native American calendar shown above. These are celebrations based on the sun’s position on earth.      
And on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the first month, and on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the fourth month, and on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the seventh month, and on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the tenth month are the days of remembrance, and the days of the seasons in the four divisions of the year. These are written and ordained as a testimony for ever. And Noah ordained them for himself as feasts for the generations for ever, so that they have become thereby a memorial unto him. And on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the first month he was bidden to make for himself an ark, and on that (day) the earth became dry and he opened (the ark) and saw the earth. And on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the fourth month the mouths of the depths of the abyss beneath were closed. And on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the seventh month all the mouths of the abysses of the earth were opened, and the waters began to descend into them. And on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen, and Noah was glad. And on this account he ordained them for himself as feasts for a memorial for ever, and thus are they ordained. And they placed them on the heavenly tablets, each had thirteen weeks; from one to another (passed) their memorial, from the first to the second, and from the second to the third, and from the third to the fourth. And all the days of the commandment will be two and fifty weeks of days, and (these will make) the entire year complete. Thus it is engraven and ordained on the heavenly tablets. And there is no neglecting (this commandment) for a single year or from year to year. And command thou the children of Israel that they observe the years according to this reckoning- three hundred and sixty-four days, and (these) will constitute a complete year, and they will not disturb its time from its days and from its feasts; for everything will fall out in them according to their testimony, and they will not leave out any day nor disturb any feasts. But if they do neglect and do not observe them according to His commandment, then they will disturb all their seasons and the years will be dislodged from this (order), [and they will disturb the seasons and the years will be dislodged] and they will neglect their ordinances. And all the children of Israel will forget and will not find the path of the years, and will forget the new moons, and seasons, and sabbaths and they will go wrong as to all the order of the years. For I know and from henceforth will I declare it unto thee, and it is not of my own devising; for the book (lies) written before me, and on the heavenly tablets the division of days is ordained, lest they forget the feasts of the covenant and walk according to the feasts of the Gentiles after their error and after their ignorance. For there will be those who will assuredly make observations of the moon -how (it) disturbs the seasons and comes in from year to year ten days too soon. For this reason the years will come upon them when they will disturb (the order), and make an abominable (day) the day of testimony, and an unclean day a feast day, and they will confound all the days, the holy with the unclean, and the unclean day with the holy; for they will go wrong as to the months and sabbaths and feasts and jubilees. For this reason I command and testify to thee that thou mayst testify to them; for after thy death thy children will disturb (them), so that they will not make the year three hundred and sixty-four days only, and for this reason they will go wrong as to the new moons and seasons and sabbaths and festivals, and they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh. Jubilees 6:22-38

Note: Please see this article that shows the words ‘new moon’ should not be in the text above and are a translation error.   Our seasons are dictated by the circuit of the sun and not the moon.   The moon is for signs only.


According to the book of Jubilees and the Dead Sea Scrolls the old calendar was arranged as shown above in the book of Enoch.  The first day of the first, forth, seventh, and tenth months were the first day of each season and quarter of the year which should always be on the 4th day of the week so that the calendar stays in sync with its creation date indicated in Genesis chapter one.  Apparently, there were cross-quarter days that were times of celebrations and festivals; however, I cannot find anywhere where they were instructed to celebrate on the cross-quarter days. 

The ancient quarter days and cross quarter days are shown below.  Georgian Calendar dates are only approximant since the Dead Sea Scrolls Calendar and Georgian Calendar keep moving further apart in time.

Our Father in Heaven wanted us to celebrate the first day of each season to ensure that we keep track of time accurately and we did not forget HIS calendar. 
The Sun Cross and standard cross are used to represent time.  

Decorative Designs

 Today I notice the old quarter with cross-quarter designs at various places.  Sometimes they do remind me of the hieroglyphs and wheels shown at the top of the article.  




Jacob’s Staff and Ancient Time Tracking Tools

Noah’s descendants invented the ancient staff that was shaped like a cross to measure angles of the sun, moon and stars to ensure their calendar was correct so that they celebrated the feast days on the correct dates. Jacob’s staff was used for navigation.  It was an ancient GPS devise.  


 

The cross staff is said to be named after Jacob Israel, who had a staff which he brought with him as he crossed the Jordan River:


And Jacob said, God of my father Abraam, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, thou art he that said to me, Depart quickly to the land of thy birth, and I will do thee good. Let there be to me a sufficiency of all the justice and all the truth which thou hast wrought with thy servant; for with this my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two camps.” Sep Gen 32:9-10 
By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.” ASV Hebrews 11:21

Judah had a staff:

And as they were bringing her, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, I am with child by the man whose these things are; and she said, See whose is this ring and bracelet and staff.” Sep Gen 38:25   

King David found comfort by owning a staff:

Yea, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, these have comforted me.” Sep Psa 23:4 

Jesus tells the apostles to not take their staff when he sent them out to preach the gospel:

And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. And he sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.” ASV Luke 9:1-3

The cross shaped staff was used for measuring distance with angles.  They could measure the heavens, buildings, and towers.  Pictures showing the staff could be used for timekeeping, navigation and surveying and measuring angles.

These two newspaper articles below show they used Jacob’s cross-staff for surveying in the 1800s.

The Greeks had an ancient computer they developed to compute the motion of astronomical positions and eclipses for calendar and astrological uses called the Antikythera mechanism.  It was found on the bottom of the ocean as part of a ship wreck.  They believe that it is dated to about 100 BC.  This mechanism also had the names of the constellation on it. It had the ability to tell time based on the sun, moon and stars.



The children of Noah built precise time tracking mounds and petroglyphs to track the angle of the sun in relationship to the earth.  



Chaco Canyon is only a 3 hour drive away from the Los Lunas stone which reflects the 10 commandments in Paleo-Hebrew.  This 10 commandment stone is the oldest in the world and it does have a spiral petroglyph next to it.


Only the Children of Noah would have cared about precise time tracking to ensure their feast days were on the correct dates and to keep their agriculture year on track.


The Sidereal Day verses the Tropical Day



Noah’s descendants’ tracked time based upon a sidereal day not a tropical day.  The book of Enoch and book of Jubilees both state that the year is to be 364 days.



“And command thou the children of Israel that they observe the years according to this reckoning- three hundred and sixty-four days, and (these) will constitute a complete year, and they will not disturb its time from its days and from its feasts.”  Jubilees 6:32


On that day the night decreases and amounts to nine parts, and the day to nine parts, and the night is equal to the day and the year is exactly as to its days three hundred and sixty-four.” Enoch 72:32

Here are the definitions of each:

Sidereal Day

A measurement of time relative to the position of the stars and relating to a measurement of time relative to the point of the vernal equinox.  A sidereal day is approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes.  As shown on the Celtic Wheel of the Year above, the sun’s position within the constellation is used to determine time.

Topical Day

The Tropical Day is based on the Topical Year of 365.25 day.  A civil day is used that starts midnight: this is near the time of the lower culmination of the Sun on the central meridian of the time zone. Such a day may be referred to as a calendar day. A day is commonly divided into 24 hours of 60 minutes, with each minute composed of 60 seconds.

Difference

The time difference between a sidereal day and civil day is 24 hours.

·         The civil day is 4 minutes longer than a sidereal day.  4 minutes x 364 equals 1456 minutes a year.  1456 minutes divided by 60 minutes equals 24.26 hours.

·         The civil day is 4 minutes longer than a sidereal day.  4 minutes x 365 equals 1460 minutes a year.  1460 minutes divided by 60 minutes equals 24.33 hours.

Sidereal time keeping agrees with the Enoch, Jubilees and Celtic Wheel of the Year reflecting a year of 364 days.


Wheel of the Year

The ‘Celtic Wheel of the Year’ calendar was also established on the ground to track the sun’s movement and the time of the year.  In North America they are called Medicine Wheels and in Europe they are called a Stonehenge’s.  All of these could track time based on the position of the sun and stars. Some also tracked the moon.


The Medicine Wheels and Stonehenge’s of the world are further proof that Noah’s descendants knew how to track time very early and built monuments to prove it. The Majorville Cairn and Medicine Wheel site in Alberta Canada dates all the way back to 3200 BC; therefore was built shortly after the Noah’s flood event.



The Celtic Wheel of the Year, the Enoch calendar, the Jubilees calendar and the Dead Sea Scrolls temple calendar all agree with Genesis chapter one as follows:


Conclusion

The ‘sun cross’ and Jacob Israel’s cross-staff are important parts of our Celtic and Anglo-Saxon heritage.  The Celtic Sun Cross represents the cardinal directions and seasons that our Father in Heaven created.  Old pictures of Jesus reflect him with the earth symbol on his head; this reflects Jesus is the King of the earth.   The race name of Anglo-Saxon comes from our ability to measure angles.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch_(astronomy)#Julian_years_and_J2000 In traditional cultures and in antiquity other epochs were used. In ancient Egypt days were reckoned from sunrise to sunrise, following a morning epoch. This may be related to the fact that the Egyptians regulated their year by the heliacal rising of the star Sirius, a phenomenon which occurs in the morning just before dawn.
