Once again. The beginning of Leo was at Al Minhar al Asad, and this was 16 days after the End (Al Tarf) in Cancer:

The Nose of the Water Serpent (Hydra, Al Shujā) was lower down below the ecliptic - its plane was defined from the equator (0°). At Virgo the ecliptic and the equator crossed:

Presumably the Nose of the Lion had to be 16 days after the Bright Fire (λ Cancri) - an ancient tripod cooking place - because this fire could have disturbed the early morning star observations for 16 days. I.e., they were in a way a pair (Bright Fire / Nose of the Lion). No such problem seems to have been caused by observing the Nose of the Hydra down in the south.

Although for an observer living south of the equator, where the perspective was upside down, it (λ) might conceivably have been seen as γ.

The star at the opposite side of the curved Ordem E Progresso band compared to Spica (above the band) is the Tail of Hydra (γ, Al Dhanab al Shujā) below the tail end of Corvus:

Our mission is to try to fill in dates at Bb11-20:

Heu. Offspring of parents from two different tribes, person of mixed descent, e.g. father Miru, mother Tupahotu. Heuheu, body hair (except genitals and armpits). Vanaga. 1. Heheu; ivi heheu, the cachalot, bone needle; hakaheu, spade, to shovel, to grub up, to scratch the ground, to labor; rava hakaheu, laborious, toilsome. 2. Hakaheu, affair. Churchill. M. Heu, to separate, to pull asunder; the eaves of a house; heu, a single hair; hau. to hew; heru, to comb; huru, hair on the body; down; feathers; maheu, scattered; maheuheu, shrubs; mahuru, scrub; heuea, to be separated. Text Centre. Nonoma ran, he quickly went to Te Hikinga Heru (a ravine in the side of the crater Rano Kau) and looked around. There he saw the double canoe way out near the (offshore) islets, and the two (hulls of the canoe) were lashed together.

The front (first) side of the presumably last moai statue hewn on Easter Island (viz. Hoa Hakanana'ia placed high up at O-rongo in the southwestern corner of the island at the rim of the volcano Rano Kau) looks typically as all the rest of them, but his back side (representing what came later) is extraordinary, for it is filled with descriptions of the Bird Man season. A prominent circle is located above his midline, in the middle between the pair of birds above - the one at right with a long beak (as that of the Toucan → *363)

and the lower bird (compressed) at left with hardly any beak at all. This dorsal diagram is more in agreement with the picture in Bb11-20 than with that in Ga3-18. Winter at left and in front Summer, the Hole in between at spring equinox.

Nana. Mgv.: 1. To look at, to view. Ta.: nana, to see, to look at. Ha.: nana, to view attentively. 2. Angry, offended. Ma.: nana, in a passion. Churchill. Nanagi, to tear with the teeth. Nanai, spider; kahu nanai, cobweb. Churchill. Pau.: Nanao, to insert the hand. Mgv.: nanao, to take fish out of a wicker basket. Ta.: nanao, neneo, to introduce the hand. Mq.: nanao, to grope in. Sa.: naonao, to feel for by introducing the hand. Ma.: nao, to feel with the hand. Churchill.

... Furthermore, according to the G tablet we could also read how the Bird Man season (late July to early August) might have coincided with the right ascension line down from the South Pole star, Dramasa (σ Octantis) [Ga3-14], as seen close to the Full Moon in August 5 (*320 - *183) ...

When the Full Moon was in August 13 (225) - at the Creation of our present world - it could have been a reflection of the position of the Star (Kochab, *225), in which case Cb11-20 might have been in the following Day (141 + 85 = 226):

... Christmas Eve is followed by Christmas Day, Midsummer Eve by Midsummer Day, etc. There should be a pair of glyphs to illustrate this phenomenon. The 'bull leap' has a pair of places and the dark Saturday is always followed by the day of the Sun:

... Die Sonne, die des Morgens das Weltmeer durchschreitet und besiegt und das Licht bringt, lässt aus dem Chaos der Nacht zuerst den Himmel, dann erst die Erde hervortreten, spaltet das gestaltlose Reich der Nacht in die zwei Hälften, den Himmel und die Erde ...

On the other hand, and maybe better, could we also read 11 * 20 = 220 as the day before the Nose of the Lion:

21 May, 3114 BC - 5 February, 3112 BC = 542

542 'happens to be' the sum of 365 days and 6 * 29½ nights.

From all these exercises it has become clear that the dates in the 'world tree' of the Sun calendar can be relied upon - they are 'fixed' in the same way as the 'fixed' stars. 225 (August 13) - 148 (May 28) = 77 → Ga3-18 → The Nose of the Lion.

Therefore 225 could imply Ga8-22:

The pair of fishes, one rising (Ga2-13) and 4 days later another kind of fish sinking down (Ga2-17) seems to be a message similar in meaning to the sky (ragi) at the top joined to an upside down nuku figure below (Ga8-22). It was Marduk who separated the chaotic dark night, bringing in Light between Heaven and Earth.

*180

*107

Ga2-14

19h

nuku

Nuku.1. Pau.: nuka, crowd, throng. Ta.: nuú, army, fleet. Mg.: nuku, a host, army. 2. Mgv.: nuku, land, country, place. Sa.: nu'u, district, territory, island. Churchill.

Therefore we can guess the abruptly finished straight line inside the head of the silent shark (mago) in Ga2-14 refers to where Marduk had cut chaos through. Half a year later (at 19h) this wound would heal again, making Father Sky and Mother Earth reunite again in their close embrace.

... They were Ranginui, the Sky Father, and Papatuanuku, the Earth Mother, both sealed together in a close embrace. Crushed between the weight of their bodies were their many children, whose oppression deepened. They yearned to be free; they fought their parents and each other to break loose. Tuumatauenga, virile god of war, thrust and shouted; Tangaroa of the oceans whirled and surged; Tawhirirangimaatea, Haumiatiketike and Rongomatane, of wild foods and cultivated crops, tried their best but were not successful; and Ruamoko, god of earthquakes, yet to be born, struggled in the confinement of his mother's womb ... Of them all, Taane Mahuta, the god of the forests, was the most determined; he set his sturdy feet upon his father's chest, and braced his upper back and shoulders against the bosom of his mother. He pushed; and they parted. So the world, as the Maori understand it, came into being ...
