But Altair culminated at midnight 20 days earlier (227 - 107 - 20 = 100), when the pair of Fish Mouths (Fomalhaut and Fum Al Samakah) were at the Full Moon together with the pair of Scheat stars (Scheat Aquarii and Scheat Pegasi). JUNE 29 (180) + 140 = 220 (OCTOBER 27, 300).

Scheat was the last of the 10 kings before the Flood, Scheat was the star of Noah, Xiusudra, etc.:

... Brown associates it [Hamal] with Aloros, the first of the ten mythical kings of Akkad anterior to the Deluge, the duration of whose reigns proportionately coincided with the distances apart of the ten chief ecliptic stars beginning with Hamal, and he deduces from this kingly title the Assyrian Ailuv, and hence the Hebrew Ayil; the other stars corresponding to the other mythical kings being Alcyone, Aldebaran, Pollux, Regulus, Spica, Antares, Algenib, Deneb Algedi, and Scheat ...

Anciently Scheat was positioned where the Sun reached the end of the year (in late DECEMBER). In the Gregorian calendar this was also at the end of a year, a year which evidently could have begun according to Roman custom, with 'March 1 belonging at the end of 'February:

... The leap day was introduced as part of the Julian reform. The day following the Terminalia (February 23) was doubled, forming the 'bis sextum - literally 'double sixth', since February 24 was 'the sixth day before the Kalends of March' using Roman inclusive counting (March 1 was the 'first day') ...

The Flood came after Scheat, after DECEMBER. This is easy to understand. And at the time of Gregory XIII precession had moved the Scheat twins ahead in the year with 64 - 4 = 60 days to the beginning of ºMarch. But his calendar was a map of current Sun time and the Deluge was so far back in time as to be merely a myth.

His zero cardinal point was the current northern spring equinox (0h), which 'happened to be' 60 days after JANUARY 19 (384 = 13 * 29½ + ½). Whereas in rongorongo times the southern spring equinox was at Gienah (*185):

Thus we could interpret the first 182 nights illustrated by knots in the tresses of Pachamama as the nights from ºJanuary 1 up to and including ºJuly 1. Or as the first 182 nights from MAY 3 (123) up to and including OCTOBER 31 (304).

Mother Earth (Pacha Mama) rotated, as could be observed in the night when the stars rose up in the east - although they of course stood still firmly fixed to the dome of the sky.

She rotated from the west to the east and the stars which came up first were those which had descended first. The stars belonging in the first group of 3 * 26 = 78 days would descend in the west before the stars rising in the following 4 * 26 = 104 days.

The tresses to the right on her back corresponded to the first 182 = 7 * 26 days of the year. They rose first, because Pachamama was rotating from right to left (withershins).

Beyond the first 182 days rose an Arrow shot from an Archer - shot by a blind man (Höder) who could not see what he was doing, viz. aiming at his brother (Balder).
