6. If a 'child' is visualized at Saturday and Ga4-11, then it agrees fairly well with Ana-roto as a 'pregnant' star. But glyph number 95 is located 5 days earlier than in our model:

The positions for the key stars, determined by Spica at day 100, should therefore possibly be adjusted with another 5 days (in addition to the reduction by 5 days compared to their present locations):

A reduction by 5 + 5 = 10 days implies a time of
creation for the G text ca 700 years ago.
We must look where Ana-mua and Ana-muri would be in such a revised model and then look at the corresponding glyphs in the G text. First we calculated (cfr
at Sky Pillars) that Ana-mua would be at day number 151
according to its present rectascension value of 16h 26m, and the figures sitting back to back could indicate how spring (the season of 'eating') lies in front:
period 23 |
|
|
|
Ga6-9 |
Ga6-10 (151) |
Ga6-11 |
Then I stated that day number 151 hardly could be the
correct day - we must reduce it because of the precession. As an
example I proposed a reduction by 5 days (implying a creation time
around 5 * 72 = 360 years ago):
period 22 |
|
|
|
|
Ga6-5 (146) |
Ga6-6 |
Ga6-7 |
Ga6-8 |
It looked promising. Ga6-5 is a Sun-day and several additional
factors made it reasonable to guess this indeed was where Ana-mua
could be, and that my guess for the creation time of the G text had hit on the mark. For instance did the following moe (Ga6-6) evidently relate to the beginning of a kind of half-year, ending 12 lunar months from the beginning of the front side:
|
155 |
|

|

Ga6-6 (147) |
Gb3-12 (303) |
Gb4-7 |
Gb4-8 (329) |
Gb4-33 (354) |
Gb5-1 |
156 = 13 * 12 |
26 = 13 * 2 |
26 = 13 * 2 |
208 = 8 * 26 |
If we reduce with a further 5 days Antares will be
at the first glyph in period 21:
period 21 |
|
|
|
|
|
Ga5-30 (141) |
Ga6-1 |
Ga6-2 |
Ga6-3 |
Ga6-4 |
A growing maro with 5 feathers is
an encouraging sign, and a henua open at both ends probably
implies an 'interregnum'. 21 is the first number beyond 20:
period 20 |
|
|
|
|
Ga5-22 (133) |
Ga5-23 |
Ga5-24 |
Ga5-25 |
|
|
|
|
Ga5-26 |
Ga5-27 |
Ga5-28 |
Ga5-29 |
Period 20 has 8 glyphs and in period 21 there are 5 glyphs. Also other signs do indeed suggest Moon rules in period 20 (but not in period 21). 5 should rather 'belong to' Sun, or to be more precise 21 could indicate Mars (Spring Sun). There are 5 rising maro feathers beyond the 'interregnum' and there are 4 wilting ones beyond the rise of a new 'fist' (no fingers used up - cfr at Kava):
... The practice of turning down the fingers, contrary to our practice, deserves notice, as perhaps explaining why sometimes savages are reported to be unable to count above four. The European holds up one finger, which he counts, the native counts those that are down and says 'four'. Two fingers held up, the native counting those that are down, calls 'three'; and so on until the white man, holding up five fingers, gives the native none turned down to count. The native is nonplussed, and the enquirer reports that savages can not count above four ...
At Haś was discussed the 'fist held high' sign, and Ga6-1 resembles Gb2-1:

|
215 |
23 |
|
Ga6-1 (142) |
Gb1-26 (256) |
Gb2-1 |
Ga1-23 (24) |
232 = 8 * 29 |
240 = 8 * 30 |
A relocation of Ana-mua from day number 146 to day number
141 is not improbable. From Ga6-1 up to and including the final Gb1-26 there are 115 = 5 * 23 days (i.e. half 230) and 46 days is the distance from Ana-roto to Ana-mua.
As to Ana-muri the preliminary picture was a
position at Gb4-14 (based on the current
rectascension value) followed by a reduction by 5 days to Gb4-9:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gb4-6 |
Gb4-7 |
Gb4-8 |
Gb4-9 (330) |
Gb4-10 |
Gb4-11 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gb4-12 |
Gb4-13 |
Gb4-14 (335) |
Gb4-15 |
Gb4-16 |
Gb4-17 |
If we now should reduce with a further 5 days we will
arrive at the 5th glyph beyond the dark line b3 (without any signs
of henua, the moko line):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gb3-24 (314) |
Gb3-25 |
Gb3-26 |
Gb3-27 |
Gb3-28 |
Gb3-29 |
Gb3-30 |
|
|
|
|
|
Gb4-1 |
Gb4-2 |
Gb4-3 |
Gb4-4 |
Gb4-5 (325) |
Gb4-5 is also the 12th glyph counted from the π
glyph, which is rather convincing. Thus we cannot discard the new model to reduce the current rectascension positions with 10 days:
Ana-mua |
183 |
Ana-muri |
151 - 10 = day 141 |
335 - 10 = day 325 |
184 = 8 * 23 |
185 days |
30 |
104 |
Ana-roto |
12 |
Arcturus |
32 |
141 - 183 / 4 = day 95 |
141 - 133 / 4 = day 108 |
46 = 2 * 23 |
180 days |
With Ana-roto at day 95 we can think 5 * 19 (both Sun numbers). With Ana-muri at day 325 we can think 13 * 25 (Moon respectively Saturn).
Ana-mua is here at day 141, which is one more than 10 fortnights. Also, Ga5-30 invites us to count 5 * 30 = 150 or half the ancient measure of 300 days for Sun.
Arcturus receives the interesting number 108. And, irrespective of the day number, this star stands 33 days before Ana-mua. Maybe there is a connection between Arcturus and the Pleiades:
... the renewal of kingship at the climax of the Makahiki coincides with the rebirth of nature. For in the ideal ritual calendar, the kali'i battle follows the autumnal appearance of the Pleiades, by thirty-three days - thus precisely, in the late eighteenth century, 21 December, the winter solstice. The king returns to power with the sun ...
