Hevelius has θ at
the top of the tail
of the Southern Fish
and this position
should therefore
mark where 'land'
was giving way to
'the sea':

The diviners (Chorti
Ah K'in)
could have
measured out
their calendar
time from April
25 to February 9
as 10 months
with 29 days in
each:
| February 9 (40) |
74 |
April 25 (115) |
289 |
February 9 (405) |
| 75 = 3 * 25 |
290 = 10 * 29 |
| 365 |
But in G another
method seems to
have been used,
because heliacal
Sadalsud was 9 *
29 = 261days
from the
beginning of the
text.
Instead of 3 *
25 (cfr 325.9 at
Sadalsud) the
equation could
have been 365 -
261 = 4 * 26 (=
8 * 13):
|
March
21
(*0) |
260 |
December
7
(*261) |
|
104
=
4 *
26 |
261
= 9
* 29 |
|
365 |
March 25 (3-25)
was the date for
spring equinox
before Gregory
XIII
restructured the
calendar from
the Council of
Nicaea in 325
A.D.
Possibly the
Easter Islanders
had a
restructured
calendar due to
the position of
Anates:
Instead of 325
(= 13 * 25) as
the key number
they could have
used 426 as the
key, with 6 * 71
referring to the
Sun (6) and to
the precession
(71 = 26000 /
366).
