18 Once again. There is straight Order (dry death, Sun) and there is Curved progress (moon, the Lord of watery life):
... Shall one add Angkor to the list? It has five gates, and to each of them leads a road, bridging over that water ditch which surrounds the whole place. Each of these roads is bordered by a row of huge stone figures, 108 per avenue, 54 on each side, altogether 540 statues of Deva and Asura, and each row carries a huge Naga serpent with nine heads. Only, they do not 'carry' that serpent, they are shown to 'pull' it, which indicates that these 540 statues are churning the Milky Ocean, represented (poorly, indeed) by the water ditch, using Mount Mandara as a churning staff, and Vasuki, the prince of the Nagas, as their drilling rope ...
The star pillar in the middle (Ana-roto) was bound both to the Fox up in the northern sky roof and to Dramasa down under at the South Pole. This explains why Spica had been put above the curved band. There were *118 right ascension days from Dramasa to Spica - moving withershins as we can see from the beautiful design on this Minoan vessel:
In other words, when moving down from the Fox in the north to Dramasa in the south we have to add 4 synodic lunar months. 354 (December 20) + 118 = 472 (number of glyphs on the G tablet). The following day (355 = the solstice) + 118 = 473 was at the vacant glyph space preceding Ain (the Eye of the Bull). Ainaz was anciently a word of 'one' - to be compared to the current Russian word odin for 'one' (i.e. eye).
... Whereas, over the next two days, Lono plays the part of the sacrifice. The Makahiki effigy is dismantled and hidden away in a rite watched over by the king's 'living god', Kahoali'i or 'The-Companion-of-the-King', the one who is also known as 'Death-is-Near' (Koke-na-make). Close kinsman of the king as his ceremonial double, Kahoali'i swallows the eye of the victim in ceremonies of human sacrifice (condensed symbolic trace of the cannibalistic 'stranger-king') ... January 1 (366) - 355 = 11 = 129 - 118 = April 1 (91, *11). The XIIIth Pope had stolen (Goyou!) 11 days (= 366 - 355):
