RIGEL
Today is June 22 AD 2024, the day after Midsummer Eve. It is not
day 173 counted from January 1, but day 174 due to the fact that
this year is a leap year with February 29 inserted between day
59 and March 1.
Counted from April 10 (100 → not
100 + 1) in an ordinary year June 21 (172) would have
been day 72, but in a leap year we should count April 10 (101) +
72 = June 21
(173). The day difference is the same and the dates are the
same, but the date numbers will be different.
South of the equator the calendar ought to be different from
that north of the equator because the seasons of the
year are 'upside down'.
Counting days from April 10 (100) to Antares in November 25 (329)
means adding 329 - 100 = 229 days, and, as we will remember,
the last glyph on
side a of the G tablet was - as if by chance - number 229.
Unless we should count also the vacant glyph space at *64, viz.
not leap over it.
By adding 6 ('sleeping mats') to 229 we will reach day 235. Or
better; reach day 236 = 230 + 6.= 8 * 29½. Because in leap years the
Sun calendar will be corrected. 365 + 365 + 365 + 366 = 1461 =
365.25 * 4.
According to our Gregorian XIII calendar the star at 0h, viz. Sirrah (↔
Sirius), ought to
culminate at 21h in November 11 (80 + 235 = 315). But in a leap
year the day number should be 81 + 235 = 316 = 4 * 79 (→
March 20 = 31 + 28 + 20):
... When Metoro said 'hia' it was
probably an instruction for Bishop Jaussen on Tahiti to
'Count!', e.g. ... 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
...
79 (March 20 in a non-leap year) →
7 * 9 (Rigel, *78 → *79)
↔ *63 ↔ *64.
But
since there are 63 glyphs from heliacal Sirrah at Gb6-26 (408)
to the last glyph on side b, Gb8-30 (471), the leap day ought to
be at the empty glyph space preceding Ga1-1. 471 + 1 = 472 = 8 *
59 = 16 * 29½. = 314 * 1½ + 1.
Then would come a kind of Tree which preceded Toromiro with 261 (→ 1461
- 1200) - 236 = 25 days, at the place where
ideally the Full Moon would have Acrux culminating at
21h.
Counting the right ascension days properly for Easter Island
south of the equator, viz. from March 20 (79
↔ *79 at Rigel) the position
of heliacal Antares would be *250 - not such an ugly odd
number as *249.
Thus all would be in excellent order, as everything else in Mother
Nature who ruled by the principle of survival of the fittest
i.e. the most beautiful.
But I will continue as before in my documentation in order to
avoid more chaos:

Poporo.
A plant (Solanum forsteri); poporo
haha, a sort of golden thistle. Vanaga. A berry
whose juice is mixed with ashes of ti leaves in
tattoing. Ta.: oporo, a capsicum plant. The
Tahiti oporo is not a degradation of poporo
but is the original poro stem augmented by that
o which in Tahiti is word-formative in a sense
too elusive to find expression in European ideas. Mgv.:
poporo, the July season when the leaves fall.
Mq.: pororo, dry, arid. Sa.: palolo-mua,
July. Ma.: paroro, cloudy weather. Poporohiva,
milk thistle. Churchill. |

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. Then she said to the first snail:
'Can you open this room a little, so that we can sit down?'
The snail said it could, and opened the shell a
little. Old-Spider then took the snail, placed it in the
west of the shell, and made it into the moon. Then there was
a little light, which allowed Old-Spider to see a big worm.
At her request he opened the shell a little wider, and from
the body of the worm flowed a salted sweat which collected
in the lower half-shell and became the sea. Then he raised
the upper half-shell very high, and it became the sky.

... The
correspondence between the winter solstice and the
kali'i rite of the Makahiki is arrived at as
follows: ideally, the second ceremony of 'breaking the
coconut', when the priests assemble at the temple to
spot the rising of the Pleiades, coincides with the full
moon (Hua tapu) of the twelfth lunar month (Welehu). In
the latter eighteenth century, the Pleiades appear at
sunset on 18 November. Ten days later (28
November), the Lono effigy sets off on its
circuit, which lasts twenty-three days, thus bringing
the god back for the climactic battle with the king on
21 December, the solstice (= Hawaiian 16 Makali'i). The
correspondence is 'ideal' and only rarely achieved,
since it depends on the coincidence of the full moon and
the crepuscular rising of the Pleiades ... |

... Antares, visible in the
morning sky of December-January, came to stand for
summer heat; hence the saying, 'Rehua cooks
(ripens) all fruit' [hakatupu]. The generally
accepted version of the Rehua myth, according
to Best, is that Rehua had two wives, the
stars on either side of Antares. One was
Ruhi-te-rangi or Pekehawani, the
personification of summer languor (ruhi), the
other Whaka-onge-kai,
She-who-makes-food-scarce before the new crops can
be harvested ... |

... 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 ...
... The decoded meaning of the
names 'the dark rat' (i.e.,
the island king
as the recipient of gifts) and 'the gathering
place of the island population' (for the purpose of
presenting the island king with gifts) links them
with the month 'Maro', which is June ... |
