3. The texts (at least that on the G tablet) are probably structured to cover several kinds of years and Polaris could be at the beginning of such a year. We can compare the concave henua in Gb7-24 with that immediately before vaha mea at Antares.
The glyph type vaha mea ('red opening') could be a sign for when a year is 'opening its mouth' (coming alive, beginning):
The distance from vaha mea at Polaris to vaha mea at Aldebaran is seen to be 41 days, which might suggest I was wrong when counting Gb8-30 as 2 days. 41 is a prime number and not suitable for 'number play'. 40 would have been better. But I will not change anything until it can be 'proven' I was wrong, and, furthermore, 68.2 - 26.6 = 41.6 or ca 42 days.
Earlier, at King Cepheus, I mentioned the role of Polaris:
... In the perspective of time we could say that Polaris was pushed down from the spring equinox (day 'zero' position) around 1 / 12 * 26000 = ca 2160 years ago, or close to the beginning of the era of Pisces ... When the rongorongo texts were created the distance would have been around 26.6 * 72 = 1915 years back in time, very close to 'zero' A.D. The Tahitian said Polaris (Ana-nia) was 'the pillar to fish by'. On the other hand, I have also pointed at another possible Polaris position in the G text, not towards the end of April but in 'December 31: ... Counting from Polaris in Gb4-8 there are 80 days - equal to the number of days from January 1 to March 21 - to Rogo in Gb6-26, and then a further 8 weeks to Atlas:
It seems the Gregorian calendar could have had Polaris at the end of December, perhaps to point at Atlas rising heliacally 136 days later. Or maybe Atlas was regarded as a kind of reincarnation of Polaris. At least around 'zero' A.D. I have mentioned all this foremost in order to point at the obvious connection between the new year defined by the 'secular' Gregorian calendar on one hand and the ritual new year beginning in 'May 17. Atlas rose heliacally in 'May 16, but in 'December 31 was its midnight culmination:
Thus also the Gregorian calendar is ritually connected to the stars. Perhaps there was born a new 'Aldebaran Year' in 'January 11:
