Clearly the text on the C
tablet could have been used to describe where the stars
were located in the Gregorian calendar. For instance
were the honu glyphs in line
Ca14 beginning where in
°October 1 the Sun had reached the Diadem star (α
Coma Berenicis), i.e. in day 210 (*JULY 29) according to
the ancient star calendar.
The number of glyphs on the C tablet were
740 (= 392 + 348) rather than 2 * 366 = 732, and this
was probably because it was necessary to extend the text
with 4 glyphs at the beginning of side a because the
stars had moved ahead with 4 right ascension days due to
the precession since the time of Gregory XIII.
The text on side a was beginning after
the 'tail of the horse' (Ma Wei, δ Centauri),
i.e. after the night when the Rear (2nd) Spout was at the Full Moon. Artists had the ability to compress and
play with such information in their creations, and we
should notice the pair of 'spouts' in form of flowing
hair in the framed picture on the wall screen (cfr 14th
Chinese station Wall):
