While the workmen were waiting for the signal, a large bird perched on one of the ropes and set the bells ringing. Straightaway every workman began to dig. At this moment the planet Mars, which the Arabs call Al-Kahir, was above the horizon, and although this was regarded as a bad omen, it was too late; the work had begun.
