Then follows a simplified map over Gemini, and also the last glyph in line Ga1 together with the first glyph in line Ga2:
I have highlighted also the nakshatra dates because the text could here refer to the night side, where for instance ºJune 20 (171) + 183 would become ºDecember 20 (354 = 12 * 29½). The little Rei in Ga1-30 is located as day number 5 ('fire') counted from ºJune 14 (165), when in the times of Gregorius XIII the Sun had passed Betelgeuze at the bank of the Milky Way and reached the vertical line through Praja-pāti, Menkalinan, Mahashim, and γ Columbae. ºJune 20 (171) was 364 / 4 = 91 days from the northern spring equinox (= ºMarch 21 according to the decisions of the Church). Counting from ºMarch 21 there were 365 - 79 = 286 days to the end of the year:
The rongorongo writers probably used 366 days for a year, I have discovered earlier. Then I found 183 (= 366 / 2) days was the best (for practical reasons) transformation from heliacal to nakshatra dates, and it was a method which I would not have used had not the rongorongo writers evidently worked with 366 days for a year. Here once again 366 appears to be necessary in order to accommodate not only 80 and 285 but also day 365. However, this is due to counting with 366 days when assigning e.g. day 444 to ºMarch 19. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
