Snakes did not exist on Easter Island, instead the creature became an eel. Mercury and the eel are the same and their calendrical period is the 2nd quarter, as illustrated e.g. by the end glyphs for the beginning (period 7) and end (period 12) in the E calendar:
The uplifted hind legs are letting in the light - just as Rigi the mighty 'worm' was letting in the light by lifting the sky 'shell' up. In Eb3-22 (also the 7th period) a worm-like appendage with a head at the end is attatched to niu. Presumably it is 'Rigi'. Likewise - when we know what to look for - it is fairly obvious that in Ga3-3 the eel is alluded to in the form of the bird's sinous body. |
