The Creation of our present world took place in August 13 (225) at the time when the Full Moon would have been at day 225 + 183 - 365 = 408 (= 365 + 43 = February 12). We should remember that on the G tablet Sirrah was at glyph number 408, which in a way confirms that 0h was connected with day 225. ... Remarkably 225 - the distance between heliacal date and culmination date - stood still in January-February:
Castor (193) - Arneb (163) = 30 = Castor (419) - Arneb (389).
From day 168 (June 17 at heliacal Begelgeuze) to August 13 (Creation of our present world) there were 225 - 168 = 57 days. ... The original story was by Diogenes Laertius, an Epicurean philosopher circa early half third century, in his book On the Lives, Opinions, and Sayings of Famous Philosophers. The story is in Chapter ten in his section on the Seven Sages, who were the precursors to the first philosophers. The sage was Epimenides. Apparently Epimenides went to sleep in a cave for fifty-seven years. But unfortunately, 'he became old in as many days as he had slept years'. Although according to the different sources that Diogenes relates, Epimenides lived to be one hundred and fifty-seven years, two hundred and ninety-nine years, or one hundred and fifty-four years. A similar story is told of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus, Christian saints who fall asleep in a cave while avoiding Roman persecution, and awake more than a century later to find that Christianity has become the religion of the Empire ...  Or counting from the return to visibility: 225 (August 13) - 184 (July 3) = 41 days as in the star of birth, 41 Arietis (Bharani), located at *41.4.
From August 13 (225) to June 17 (168) there were 365 + 168 - 225 = 308 (= 408 - 100 = 88 + 220) days. Should we count 308 glyphs backwards from the last glyph on side b of the B tablet (corresponding to June 17 at heliacal Betelgeuze) we should therefore arrive at August 13, and 506 (Bb12-45, heliacal Betelgeue) - 308 = 198 = Bb5-35 (→ 53 * 5 = 265 = 225 + 40 = 185 + 80 = 161 + 104):
On the other hand, another approach could be to go forward from August 13 (225) to where the 'navel string of the earth' (te pito o te fenua) was cut off (kua motu) at Bb6-13 (216): ... The little spring was concealed by a succulent growth of strange plants, bearing gigantic leaves and pendant clusters of long yellow fruit, which she named bananas. The intervening space was filled with a luxuriant growth of slender stems and twining vines, of which she called the former sugar-cane and the latter yams; while all around the house were growing little shrubs and esculent roots, to each one of which she gave an appropriate name. Then summoning her little boy, she bade him gather the breadfruit and bananas, and, reserving the largest and best for the gods, roasted the remainder in the hot coals, telling him that in the future this should be his food. With the first mouthful, health returned to the body of the child, and from that time he grew in strength and stature until he attained to the fullness of perfect manhood. He became a mighty warrior in those days, and was known throughout all the island, so that when he died, his name, Mokuola [Motu-ora], was given to the islet in the bay of Hilo [Hiro] where his bones were buried; by which name it is called even to the present time ...
Because a key glyph is Bb6-13 (→ 61 * 3 = 183), where Metoro stated: kua motu te pito o te fenua. His use of Tahitian fenua instead of henua was surely intended to be noticed. Henua.

Sirrah was (at) the Navel of the Horse and half a year away another navel (pito) could be expected. At 0h the Sun crossed over from one hemisphere to the other and later at 12h he would return in order to cross over in the opposite direction. ... Then three lines are drawn east and west, one across the northern section indicates the northern limit of the Sun (corresponding with the Tropic of Cancer) about the 15th and 16th days of the month Kaulua (i.e., the 21st or 22nd of June) and is called ke alanui polohiwa a Kane, the black-shining road of Kane.
