Ba7.3

I suddenly recall a 3-faced picture of Lugh (as in Lughnasadh) and realize that 242 = 2 * 121 could represent ⅔ * 363.

... Lughnasadh or Lughnasa ...  Irish: Lúnasa; Scottish Gaelic: Lùnastal; Manx: Luanistyn) is a Gaelic festival marking the beginning of the harvest season that was historically observed throughout Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man. Originally it was held on 31 July - 1 August, or approximately halfway between the summer solstice and autumn equinox. However, over time the celebrations shifted to the Sundays nearest this date.

There were 29 days from Lughnasadh at the Full Moon to March 1:

From Sadalsud to March 1 there were 21 days, and the text seems to reflect these 3 weeks, with glyphs distributed in an increasing (waxing) pattern (6 + 7 + 8 = 21).

When in February 9 the Full Moon was visible at the right ascension line of Alphard, it would have been well known that the Sun now must be at Sadalsud - the nakshatra system. North of the equator spring equinox was now 80 - 40 nights = 40 days ahead.

... It rained for 40 days and 40 nights, and 40 + 40 = 80 (0h) ...

However, on Easter Island (south of the equator), the spring equinox (in day 265) would come 43 days after August 10 (222). The orbit of the Earth around the Sun had remarkably not been designed to be a perfect circle.
