We can assign ordinal numbers (from Gb8-30) and count the distances between the two glyphs:
A symmetric arrangement is immediately found, based on multiples of 8. But 33 is an odd number and not recognizable as one of the basic rongorongo numbers. Instead multiples of 4 is probably what was meant:
Gb4-3 stands at Akahanga (11 * 29.5 = 324.5), and we can identify glyph number 10 * 32 (the sun equivalent to 29) as beyond the reach of sun (a hole is left by the absent sun disc):
A little pau sign at bottom right in Gb4-3 marks the future, while tagata signifies the completed season of the past. There are 40 days left of the year:
324 = 4 * 81 and 364 = 4 * 91. At Ga5-5 the ordinal number 116 = 4 * 29. |
