Once again. From vaha mea at Aldebaran and
mago at Antares on side a of the G text I was able to
place the stars in parallel with the glyphs - leaving as a
somewhat open question what dates should be applied.
For the C
text it was the opposite - a somewhat open question as to what stars should
be applied in parallel with the sequence of glyphs (= dates).
Perhaps the zero day
for the Sun, the northern spring
equinox, had no relevance for the
positions of the stars in the night. Maybe
instead the First Point of Aries (which
happened to be 27
days after 0h at the time of
rongorongo) was night zero. This
could explain why 107 (= 80 + 27)
was used in both texts.
In G number
107 evidently ezpressed the difference between
16 * 29½ right ascension nights and the number of
days in a year;
i.e. 472 - 365 = 107.
And in the C text
number 107 = 370 (January
5) - 263 (September 20):

Here a pattern is revealed. Day 471 - a number which 'happens to be' equal to the number of glyphs on the G tablet - counted from the beginning of the previous year was April 16. Significantly the Sun was rising with Alrisha while Thuban was at the Full Moon.
This was also the case at Ca1-26, 366 glyphs earlier. Counting beyond the duration of a year meant measuring with 366:
*Ca14-29 (392) - Ca1-26 (26) = 366

Once upon a time Hamal would have marked the First Point of Aries - 1 day after Alrisha and half a year before day 290 (= 10 * 29).
And at that ancient time Thuban - at the opposite side of the sky - could be observed from the Great Pyramid of Khufu: "The star [Thuban] could be seen, both by day and night, from the bottom of the central passage of the Great Pyramid of Cheops (Knum Khufu) at Ghizeh, in 30º of north latitude, as also from the similar points in five other like structures ..." (Allen) 
"For some reason, too, it had taken their fancy to place the Great Pyramid almost exactly on the 30th parallel at latitude 29º 58' 51". This, a former astronomer royal of Scotland once observed, was 'a sensible defalcation from 30º', but not necessarily in error: For if the original designer had wished that men should see with their body, rather than their mental eyes, the pole of the sky from the foot of the Great Pyramid, at an altitude before them of 30º, he would have had to take account of the refraction of the atmosphere, and that would have necessitated the building standing not at 30º but at 29º 58' 22' ..."
(Graham Hancock, Fingerprints of the Gods.)
