Once again. Like the astrologers who kept
firm to the positions of the zodiacal constellations
anciently, so was the Gregorian calendar quickly out of
tune with the true star positions:

the Sun 4 days earlier in the year as regarded
from the positions of the stars. Therefore for

At the time of rongorongo Porrima (*191) was at the Full
Moon 4 nights later than in
°March 25 (3-25,
84), viz. in March 29 (88) where the text
has a vero.
... When Julius Caesar established his
calendar in 45 BC he set March 25 as the
spring equinox. Since a Julian year
(365.25 days) is slightly longer than an
actual year the calendar drifted with
respect to the equinox, such that the
equinox was occurring on about 21 March
in AD 300 and by AD 1500 it had reached
11 March. This drift induced Pope
Gregory XIII to create a modern
Gregorian calendar. The Pope wanted to
restore the edicts concerning the date
of Easter of the Council of Nicaea of AD
325 ...
At the
time of Gregory XIII the stars
were in positions which were 4 days
earlier in the year than at the time of rongorongo.
Therefore nakshatra Porrima would have
been close to the Full Moon 4 days
earlier than in March 29, viz. in
°March 25 (3-25).
From the time of Gregory
XIII to the time of rongorongo the
precession had moved the Sun 4 days
earlier in the year as regarded from the
positions of the stars. Therefore for
instance Acrux was no longer at the Full
Moon in °March 21 but 4 nights later, in
March 25, and Porrima no longer at the
Full Moon in °March 25 (3-25) but 4
nights later in March 29 (3-29):
