Ba3.2

The B text should thus begin 88 days earlier than at heliacal Matar, and at that point - viz. in the Auriga (The Charioteer) constellation there was no sign of the Sun Horse - it was nighttime.

It looks as if the neck of the great Eagle has been broken.

... This [η Carinae] is one of the most noted objects in the heavens, perhaps even so in almost prehistoric times, for Babylonian inscriptions seem to refer to a star noticeable from occasional faintness in its light, that Jensen thinks was η. And he claims it as one of the temple stars associated with Ea, or Ia, of Eridhu, the Lord of Waters, otherwise known as Oannes, the mysterious human fish and greatest god of the kingdom ...

CLOSE TO THE SUN:

... Midsummer is the flowering season of the oak, which is the tree of endurance and triumph, and like the ash is said to 'court the lightning flash'. Its roots are believed to extend as deep underground as its branches rise in the air - Virgil mentions this - which makes it emblematic of a god whose law runs both in Heaven and in the Underworld ... The month, which takes its name from Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th and ends of July 7th. Midway comes St. John's Day, June 24th, the day on which the oak-king was sacrificially burned alive. The Celtic year was divided into two halves with the second half beginning in July, apparently after a seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in the oak-king's honour ...

The month named Toki on Easter Island ought in some way to be connected with the season released from the Urn of Aquarius, for the Lucky Star of Hidden Things (γ Aquarii, Sadachbia) was by the Hindu characterized as 'Comprising a Hundred Physicians'. I.e, they would make Mother Earth come alive again.

In the era of rongorongo heliacal Sadachbia rose in February 24 (Bissextum according to the Romans). This was 365 + 31 + 24 = 420 (60 weeks) =  320 + 100 = 280 + 140 = 3 * 140 = 6 * 70 days as counted from the beginning of the previous year. At this point there was a kind of 'conjunction' between Sun and Moon, because 360 + 60 = 420 = 7 * 60 = 6 * 70 = 3 * 140 → π.

March 1 (161 + 264 = 425) came 5 days later, as if alluding to the nights of birth in ancient Egypt:

... Nut, whom the Greeks sometimes identified with Rhea, was goddess of the sky, but it was debatable if in historical times she was the object of a genuine cult. She was Geb's twin sister and, it was said, married him secretly and against the will of Ra. Angered, Ra had the couple brutally separated by Shu and afterwards decreed that Nut could not bear a child in any given month of any year. Thoth, Plutarch tells us, happily had pity on her. Playing draughts with the Moon, he won in the course of several games a seventy-second part of the Moon's light with which he composed five new days. As these five intercalated days did not belong to the official Egyptian calendar of three hundred and sixty days, Nut was thus able to give birth successively to five children: Osiris, Haroeris (Horus), Set, Isis and Nepthys ...

The first toki glyph was evidently located at the first day of March and we could therefore guess the month named Toki was the same as that named Vaitu nui. But I have previously assumed this month corresponded to April.

... The ancient names of the month were: Tua haro, Tehetu'upú, Tarahao, Vaitu nui, Vaitu potu, He Maro, He Anakena, Hora iti, Hora nui, Tagaroa uri, Ko Ruti, Ko Koró ...

Instead, the B text seems to tell us that the Toki month was beginning - at the Golden Age of the Bull - where the Full Moon reached the right ascension line corresponding to φ, i.e. the Fibonacci number ruling the Golden Mean of Growth. Although in the B text the Sun character has been placed 2 days later, where the Sun reached the last (as anciently perceived) day of DECEMBER (29), with the following hipu sign at the beginning of JANUARY.
