It then becomes easy to imagine how sun declines beginning at Ga8-21 and ending at Gb3-1:
68 + 44 + 68 = 180 (and 26 should not be counted). If this 'map' is correct (meaning a true description of the sacred landscape taken down from the sky to the island), then Hanga Hoonu could be at Gb3-1. Beyond Gb3-1 comes the other half of the year, which we could name Takaure. And we could name the summer half Honu. Even if these names were not used on Easter Island they will make it easier to refer to than the more cumbersome 'winter half of the year' respectively 'summer half of the year'. |
