Next we realize that 314 must be considered as equal to 250 + 64 (not as the ugly 251 + 63):
To accomplish this feat, where 100π is the sum of 8 squared and 10 times 5 squared (probably an irresistible equation for the number jugglers who created the rongorongo texts), we must find an extra day to add to those 63 (resulting from adding 5 to 58). The natural place to search for the needed extra day is at the beginning of side a, and the glyphs there indeed support a reading where day 1 is beginning with Ha1-4:
This way of reading the beginning of side a is placing Ha1-6, the 'midnight henua', in its proper position, as day number 1. |
