All would now be well if I could apply the 6-day week to the glyphs at the beginning of the K text. However, it never is easy. We must take one step at a time. Let us begin with the following sequence:
26 for sun will be 12 for sun if we work with a 7-day week. There is a fortnight from Ka1-12 to Ka1-26. But the glyph line is not so long, it ends with *Ka1-24. And I have here been forced to use the 7-day week in order to make a good fit between the planets and what I can imagine from 'reading' the glyphs.
If Sun should be at Ka1-12, then we can understand why he has been drawn as vanishing - in the preceding vaha kai he goes down (head first). Jupiter has lost his head to Venus, which produces a rising fish from it. Mercury tries to do the same, but he cannot (of course). He is a male but tries to be a female. Mars is similar to Jupiter, he brings fire, but not of the same kind and not with the same result. These imaginations of mine are not much to stand on. But it is a beginning. From the signs and the number chart for the 7-day week I dare say that the vanishing sun glyph (Ka1-12) is meant to indicate the left (back) side of kiore + henua, which later becomes more of a reality in Ka3-21 (where 21 should refer to Mars - who will bring the spring fire down to earth):
Niu (left in Ka3-16) could refer to Jupiter because of number 16 and the position close to Venus. But the sign is at left, and it could therefore refer to Mercury. However, the left part of the glyph is the same entity as the right part (and the 'person' is 'dead'). Also the person at left in Ka1-9 is dead. It is Jupiter, the tree of lightning. Instead of an oak the Polynesians have a coconut palm. Venus has number 17 which, we know from the rongorongo texts, indicates the beginning of something new. This new one arrives via a dark Saturn. Death (vae kore - no legs, no movement) comes before the new life (moa in Ka3-19). |
