According to Manuscript E (E:74-75) the King and the Queen left Maori in Hora Nui 2:

"Hotu's canoe sailed from Maori to Te Pito O Te Kainga. It sailed on the second day of September (hora nui). The canoe of the king (ariki is used here incorrectly for tapairu 'queen'), of Ava Rei Pua, also sailed on the other side. They had attached the canoe of Ava Rei Pua to the middle of the canoe of Hotu ..."

But there was no mistake, because the creators of the manuscript knew that the Queen had changed (shape-shifted) into a King:

... Atea then became the wife of Rua-tupua-nui, Source of Great Growth, and they became the parents of all the celestial beings, first the shooting stars, then the Moon and the Sun, next the comets, then the multitude of stars and constellations, and finally the bright and dark nebulae. When this tremendous task had been accomplished Atea took a third husband, Fa'a-hotu, Make Fruitful. Then occurred a curious event. Whether Atea had wearied of bringing forth offspring we are not told, but certain it is that Atea and her husband Fa'a-hotu exchanged sexes. Then the [male] eyes of Atea glanced down at those of his wife Hotu and they begat Ru. It was this Ru who explored the whole earth and divided it into north, south, east, and west ...

... I remember from my early readings (Thor Heyerdahl, Påskön, en gåta som fått svar.) how they low down among the other stones in the wall of Ahu Naunau in Anakena found a crowned head broken off at the neck, and clearly it was from a stone statue which headless earlier had been brought to Norway. For the Easter Islanders the immediate response to the new discovery was La Reina! - it just had to be their ancient queen Avareipua. Old people cried emotionally ...

Nau

Sandalwood which used to grow on the steep slopes of the coast: nau opata. Vanaga. The Sandalwood (Santalum) tree. During the birdman ceremonies at Orongo, a piece of sandalwood was tied to the arm with which the victorious birdman held up the egg of the sooty tern. Barthel 2.

... He [Oroi] went into a (grove of ) sandalwood. He had hidden there so he could watch the arrival of the king and (at the moment when) the foot (of the king touched the loop) quickly pull the rope. Then Oroi would come out immediately and kill the king ... Barthel 2.

The Scimitar star of Perseus could possibly have defined another and similar curious event of sex exchange:

... The First Point of Perseus was Alseiph (φ), at the right foot of Andromeda - which is quite remarkable. And Gb4-5 is equipped with female breasts.

Heliacal Sheratan ('March 21 = April 17 = FEBRUARY 12) ought to - I think - have belonged in the Foundation of our current cosmic diagram (creation) ...'

The Chorti diviners used their 'February 9' (written in another fashion than their 'twenty-fifth of April') as a mark for when a new cosmic diagram should be created:

... On February 9 the Chorti Ah K'in, 'diviners', begin the agricultural year. Both the 260-day cycle and the solar year are used in setting dates for religious and agricultural ceremonies, especially when those rituals fall at the same time in both calendars. The ceremony begins when the diviners go to a sacred spring where they choose five stones with the proper shape and color. These stones will mark the five positions of the sacred cosmogram created by the ritual. When the stones are brought back to the ceremonial house, two diviners start the ritual by placing the stones on a table in a careful pattern that reproduces the schematic of the universe. At the same time, helpers under the table replace last year's diagram with the new one. They believe that by placing the cosmic diagram under the base of God at the center of the world they demonstrate that God dominates the universe.

The priests place the stones in a very particular order. First the stone that corresponds to the sun in the eastern, sunrise position of summer solstice is set down; then the stone corresponding to the western, sunset position of the same solstice. This is followed by stones representing the western, sunset position of the winter solstice, then its eastern, sunrise position. Together these four stones form a square. They sit at the four corners of the square just as we saw in the Creation story from the Classic period and in the Popol Vuh. Finally, the center stone is placed to form the ancient five-point sign modern researchers called the quincunx ...

There were 2 kingdoms, one high up close to the Sun and another far down and close to the Sea, Hanan respectively Hurin, cfr Gb4-6. And in the center of MUNDO there is the outline of a breast:

... This illustration is from Ronald Wright, Cut Stones and Crossroads. A Journey in the Two Worlds of Peru. The 'pontificial world' (Pontifical Mundo) has Peru at the top and Spain at bottom, in both cases with the central edifices occupying the place of the Sun. Wright explains:

[This is] Waman Puma's conception of the relationship between Peru and Spain according to the Andean duality principle of Hanan (Upper) and Hurin (Lower). Each country is shown as a Tawantinsuyu - four quarters with a capital in the center. Peru is higher, closer to the sun, and therefore full of gold, the 'sweat of the sun'. In Wikipedia one can read:  '... Guaman Poma appeared as a plaintiff in a series of lawsuits from the late 1590s, in which he attempted to recover land and political title in the Chupas valley that he believed to be his by family right. These suits ultimately proved disastrous for him; not only did he lose the suits, but in 1600 he was stripped of all his property and forced into exile from the towns which he had once ruled as a noble ...'

Likewise there were once upon a time twin kingdoms in ancient Egypt, although in later times united under a single Pharaoh:

His crown had Upper Egypt at the back side and Lower Egypt in front. If time runs from left to right then the kingdom at the back side should arrive before the kingdom in the north. The visual cortex is located at the back of the head and this should be the site of the Sun. From the rains in the southern mountains the Nile valley would receive its yearly fluid.

God created Eve from one of Adam's ribs and therefore I have dared to translate the female (β) star Al Sharas with The Rib. Although according to Allen this star was plural: "... β ... was one of Al Tizini's Al Sharāsīf, the Ribs, - i.e. of the Hydra, - and the first of the set." Adam had, as I remember it, another wife before Eve, viz. Lilith.
