RIGEL
We should remember that the Explorers reached Easter Island in
June 1:
... On the twenty-fifth day [raa] of the first month
('Vaitu Nui'), Ira and Makoi set sail; on the first day [te
raa po rae] of the month of June ('Maro'), the bow [te
ihu] of Ira's canoe touched land again ... [E:17]

Ruga.
Upper part, higher part; when used as a
locative adverb, it is preceded by a preposition: i
ruga, above, on; ki ruga, upwards, mai
ruga, from above. When used with a noun the same
preposition is repeated: he-ea te vî'e Vakai, he-iri
ki ruga ki te Ahu ruga, the woman Vakai went, she
climbed Ahu Runga. Ruga nui, high, elevated,
lofty: kona ruga nui, high place, elevated
position, high office; mana'u ruga nui, elevated
thoughts. Vanaga. High up; a ruga, above; ki
ruga, on, above, upon; ma ruga, above; o
ruga, upper; kahu o ruga, royal (sail);
ruga iho, celestial. Hakaruga, to accumulate,
to draw up. P Pau., Mgv.: ruga, above. Mq.:
úna, úka, id. Ta.: nua, nia,
id. Churchill.
Rogo.
Rogorogo: Originally, 'orators, bards' of Mangareva.
Borrowed into the Rapanui language in 1871, it
came to generically signify the wooden tablets incised
with glyphs, the writing system itself, and the
respective inscriptions. Earlier the term ta was
used for the writings. Fischer. Mgv.: rogouru,
ten. Mq.: onohuu, okohuu, id. Churchill. |

The distance from April 25 (115 →
Mercury) to day 152 (→ 2 * 76) was apparently 37 days, an
odd
number which cannot be true. Instead we should imagine that the
'time zone' of their old homeland was different from that
governing Easter Island.
They seem to have travelled in time-space:
... The image of time familiar to Waman Puma was static
and spatial: one could travel in time as one travels over earth
- the structure, the geography, remaining unchanged. To him it
does not matter that he shows Inka Wayna Qhapaq,
who died in 1525, talking to Spaniards who did not arrive until
1532. Wayna Qhapaq was the last Inca to rule an undivided
empire: he is therefore the archetype, and it must be he who
asks the Spaniards. 'Do you eat gold?'
Reasonably we could use the place
for *78 (→
Rigel) = *37 + *41 (Bharani) as a point of reference:

When Metoro said 'hia' it was probably an
instruction for Bishop Jaussen on Tahiti to 'Count!' For instance:
...
Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (even
though the equinox occurs, astronomically speaking, on 20 March in
most years) ... → 3-20 ↔ right
ascension day *320 at the south pole star Dramasa.
... A very detailed
myth comes from the island of Nauru. In the beginning
there was nothing but the sea, and above soared the Old-Spider.
One day the Old-Spider found a giant clam, took it up, and tried
to find if this object had any opening, but could find none. She
tapped on it, and as it sounded hollow, she decided it was
empty. By repeating a charm, she opened the two shells and
slipped inside. She could see nothing, because the sun and the
moon did not then exist; and then, she could not stand up
because there was not enough room in the shellfish. Constantly
hunting about she at last found a snail. To endow it with power
she placed it under her arm, lay down and slept for three days.
Then she let it free, and still hunting about she found another
snail bigger than the first one, and treated it in the same way
...

Kiore.

... In China, with Capricornus,
Pisces, and a part of Sagittarius, it [Aquarius]
constituted the early Serpent, or Turtle, Tien Yuen;
and later was known as Hiuen Ying, the Dark
Warrior and Hero, or Darkly Flourishing One, the
Hiuen Wu, or Hiuen Heaou, of the Han dynasty,
which Dupuis gave as Hiven Mao. It was a symbol
of the emperor Tchoun Hin, in whose reign was a
great deluge; but after the Jesuits came in it became
Paou Ping, the Precious Vase. It contained three of
the sieu, and headed the list of zodiac signs as
the
Rat, which in the far East was the ideograph for
'water', and still so remains in the almanacs of Central
Asia, Cochin China, and Japan ... |
And as if by chance we can find *37 at "April 27, at Ca10-6 (260
+ 1 = 9 * 29), where Thuban culminated (at 21h) with the
culmination (at 21h) of Alrisha on
the other side of the year.
This suggests the Explorers arrived to Easter Island when the Full
Moon ideally should be at Rigel (and Capella).
... That there is a
whirlpool in the sky is well known, it is most probably the
essential one, and it is precisely located. It is a group of
stars so named (zalos) at the foot of Orion, close to
Rigel (beta Orionis, Rigel being the Arabic word for 'foot'),
the degree of which was called 'death', according to Hermes
Trismegistos, whereas the Maori claim outright that Rigel marked
the way to Hades (Castor indicating the primordial homeland)
...
North of the equator Rigel was perceived as 'down in the waters', so to say,
which should mean people on Easter Island ought to think of
Rigel as located 'up on dry land'.
