Once again, the 3 'fire feathers' in Ka1-3 are pointing upwards and suggesting spring on Easter Island:
Henua in Ga1-3 is not open at both ends as in Ka1-3. There is no solstice in 'May 27, but there is a sharp 'corner' (tara) in Gregorian day 150, just after the heliacal rising of Theemin: ... The manzil station Sheratan has 14 days instead of the normal 13. This probably indicates the insertion of an extra day for the 'birth' of the new year and possibly the extra day corresponds to 'May 30 and Ga1-6. The design of Ga1-6 makes clear there are 2 entities, one at the back side (the past) and one in front (ahead) ... If the Bend of the River corresponds to the date Sheratan 14, then it could mean the manzil calendar cannot express the extension of days for the Eridanus curve going back in time. The Pre-Julian calendar had day 91 in Maius 31: ... Perhaps the extra night Sheratan 14 in a way corresponds to an extra day 'May 30 in the Gregorian calendar. Julius Ceasar did not add any day to Maius, it already was 31 days long. But the old Roman calendar reached night 91 (= 31 + 29 + 31) with Maius 31. Therefore the extra night Sheratan 14 could correspond to the 'corner' beyond 360 / 4 = 90 ... At the beginning of side a of the G tablet it evidently is the northern spring which is described, but not related to the present spring equinox but to Aldebaran, which once (ca 68 * 72 = 4900 years ago) rose together with Sun at equinox. At that time and north of the equator the heliacal rising of Aldebaran was at the 'front' of summer, not at its end as the Polynesian name Ana-muri indicates:
The beginning of side a on the K tablet does not have to be a description related to the end of May. It ought rather to refer to the situation on Easter Island. If they watched for Rigel at midnight, then the measure 228 would have been useful, because stars rising heliacally in early June will culminate ca 137 days later (see at Cor Serpentis):
According to my reconstruction Rigel rose heliacally in Gregorian day 158, the day after λ Eridani which rose heliacally 77 days after the equinox. Notably 314 / 2 = 157. Possibly the strange expression kai viri kai viri which Ira used when the explorers sailed past the 3 islets is an allusion to the time at Ga6-10--11: ... On the twenty-fifth day of the first month (Vaitu Nui), Ira and Makoi set sail; on the first day of June ('Maro'), the bow of Ira's canoe appeared on the distant horizon, came closer and closer on its course, and sailed along, and finally (one) could see the (new home) land. The canoe reached the islets (off the coast), and Ira saw that there were three such islets. Ira said, 'Hey you, crew of young men, the vision of Hau Maka, our father, which he revealed to me, has come true. There are 'the handsome sons of Te Taanga, who are standing in the water', for this is the name that the dream soul of Hau Maka gave them. Unforgotten (? kai viri kai viri) are they, these three. And therefore this is the (right) land lying there; this is Te Pito O Te Kainga, which also received its name from the dream soul.'
The type of gesture in front in Ga6-10 was by Metoro consistently read as kai. ... In 'October 21 there could be a representation of the old woman in the Moon, who is sitting down in her darkness (61 * 0 = 0) in order to 'light the fire of her oven' (te Nuahine ká umu a ragi kotekote) ... The double kotekote should mean her task was to heal what had been severed (koti):
Gregorian day number 158 agrees with the manzil day number 158 for the day 136 days later. The preceding 157 is half 100π where the 26 dark nights (with no leading star) of the nawaa Suhail are ending:
If Rigel was considered as a sign of the 'landing' of the explorers, then the Sun King himself should come later, at a time which maybe coincided with watching Rigel crossing the meridian at midnight. 'June 7 (Gregorian day 158) + 136 = 294 ('October 21). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
