Ba10.2
There were 50 right ascension days from heliacal Algenib
Persei to the Full Moon at the right ascension line for
Vega. In Roman times (27 precessional days earlier than
according to my assumed epoch for rongorongo) Ba10-1 would
have corresponded to 'June 1.
... On the twenty-fifth day of the first
month (Vaitu Nui), Ira and Makoi set sail;
on the first day of June ('Maro'), the bow of Ira's
canoe appeared on the distant horizon, came closer and closer on
its course, and sailed along, and finally (one) could see the
(new home) land ... [E:17]

The

(The Egg) |
AIN (The

... 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.
Rigi, the worm, exhausted by this great effort, then died.
Old-Spider then made the sun from the second snail, and placed it beside
the lower half-shell, which became the earth
...
And as to Nunki
there is much to say:
... This [σ Sagittarii] has
been identified with Nunki of the Euphratean Tablet of the
Thirty Stars, the Star of the Proclamation of the Sea, this Sea
being the quarter occupied by Aquarius, Capricornus, Delphinus, Pisces,
and Pisces Australis. It is the same space in the sky that Aratos
designated as Water ...
