As the student will perceive, the Tablet contains three degrees. Only the headings could be given in the plates, being too complicated for hieroglyphic characters in such small space. For the outer rim, begin at the bottom and read alternatively either side, till arriving at the top, where the Symbol of Corpor [the fish –ed.], the great serpent (solar phalanx), and wark, will be found. The small stars in the inner circle represent the positions of mortals within the chamber during the ceremonies. The three degrees are called: first, M’git’ow (dawn); second, Hi’dang (high noon); third, M’hak (golden chamber), which are given in darkness. In English they are called Dawn, Noon, and Evening. They were about the time of Zarathustra (Zoroaster), or, say, 8,000 or 9,000 years B.K.
