Once again:

... On the Tablet of the Cross, the Palenque account begins with the birth of First Mother six years before the Creation on 12.19.13.4.0 8 Ahaw 18 Tz'ek (December 7, 3121 B.C.) and five hundred and forty [540 = 6 * 90] days earlier, the birth of First Father, Hun-Nal-Ye, on 12.19.11.13.0 1 Ahaw 8 Muwan (June 16, 3122 B.C.). [540 + 6 * 360 = 20 * 27 + 80 * 27 = 2700.]

His birth is connected to the Creation day, 4 Ahaw 8 Kumk'u (August 13, 3114 B.C.), when, according to the inscriptions, thirteen cycles ended. The text mentions an action that First Father accomplished on Creation day, but we haven't been able to decipher what it was. However, in the next clause, the Palenque scribes repeated Creation again and described it as 'it was made visible, the image at Lying-down-Sky, the First-Three-Stone-Place' ...

... We can count the precessional distance down to the time when the previous creation ended: A.D. 1842 (time of rongorongo) + 3149 B.C. (defeat of Seven Macaw) = 4991 years and 4991 / (26000 / 365¼) = ca 70 right ascension days. Therefore the date given as May 28 should correspond to a position among the stars around 70 days earlier than that at the time of rongorongo. 148 (May 28) - 70 = 78 (March 19).

3149 B.C. (end of previous creation) - 3114 B.C. (beginning of the present creation) = 35 years or ca half a right ascension day. August 13 (225) - 69 = 156 (June 5) = 78 (March 19) + 78. The synodic cycle of Mars was 780 days ...

By counting from heliacal Sirius (standing still as always in the last day of June) we have established that 70 right ascension days earlier than at the time of rongorongo Sirius when at the Full Moon in 30 DECEMBER would have arrived in the night after the Bucket Rope (Kerb). And Sirius together with Aldebaran could have ended the previous creation:

... Gill gives a similar story from the Hervey group, where the Little Eyes are Matariki, and at one time but a single star, so bright that their god Tane in envy got hold of Aumea, our Aldebaran, and, accompanied by Mere, our Sirius, chased the offender, who took refuge in a stream. Mere, however, drained off the water, and Tane hurled Aumea at the fugitive, breaking him into the six pieces that we now see, whence the native name for the fragments, Tauono, the Six, quoted by Flammarion as Tau, both titles singularly like the Latin Taurus. They were the favorite one of the various avelas, or guides at sea in night voyages from one island to another; and, as opening the year, objects of worship down to 1857, when Christianity prevailed throughout these islands ...

By fetching up fresh water with a bucket and a rope the Square of Pegasus could be inundated. The First (Fore) Spout came with the first pair of corner stars in the Pegasus Square and the 2nd Spout was at Sirrah:

... Later on in this series of rituals, the Chorti go through a ceremony they call raising the sky. This ritual takes place at midnight on the twenty-fifth of April and continues each night until the rains arrive. In this ceremony two diviners and their wives sit on benches so that they occupy the corner positions of the cosmic square. They take their seats in the same order as the stones were placed, with the men on the eastern side and the women on the west. The ritual actions of sitting down and lifting upward are done with great precision and care, because they are directly related to the actions done by the gods at Creation. The people represent the gods of the four corners and the clouds that cover the earth. As they rise from their seats, they metaphorically lift the sky. If their lifting motion is uneven, the rains will be irregular and harmful ...

Ga1-6 has a back part and a front part. The latter shows light had arrived in the night sky (ragi). To the left (in the past) there appears to be a dark fish eating (increasing in size), but here this was an event in the past.

Atria is the star close to the neck of Apus (the Bird of Paradise).

... The dream soul of Hau Maka continued her journey and, thanks to her mana, reached another land. She descended on one of the small islets (off) the coast.
