480 is twice 240 and an important astronomical number because it is also 10 times the number of constellations once determined by Ptolemy.
480 + 481 + 482 + 483 = 1926 can be regarded as 19 followed by 26, and 19 + 26 = 45 = 360 / 8.
19 is the number for the odd last solar month with 5 dark nights necessary to reach 365. This is where Nut was allowed to give birth:
...Nut, whom the Greeks sometimes identified with Rhea, was goddess of the sky, but it was debatable if in historical times she was the object of a genuine cult. She was Geb's twin sister and, it was said, married him secretly and against the will of Ra. Angered, Ra had the couple brutally separated by Shu and afterwards decreed that Nut could not bear a child in any given month of any year. Thoth, Plutarch tells us, happily had pity on her. Playing draughts with the Moon, he won in the course of several games a seventy-second part of the Moon's light with which he composed five new days. As these five intercalated days did not belong to the official Egyptian calendar of three hundred and sixty days, Nut was thus able to give birth successively to five children: Osiris, Haroeris (Horus), Set, Isis and Nepthys ...
Also on Easter Island there was a special place outside regulated time, viz. the 26th kuhane station:

1926 can alternatively be regarded as 192 followed by 6, where 192 days is a measure of the front side and 6 (= 13 - 7) could be a measure of the back side:
