I continue with 4 items of
information:

Rei in Ga1-30 is tiny,
indicating a new beginning
('reincarnation'). In rongorongo
times this was when the Sun was
between the feet of Castor, η
and μ Gemimi (Tejat Prior
respectively Tejat Posterior) -
possibly the 'Gate of Cancer'.
'Tejat prior is from
Al Tahāyi, an anatomical
term of Arabia, by which it was
known in early days; a name also
applied to stars in the head of
Orion.' (Allen) |
|
In the times of Al Sharatain
this star position was visible
close to the Full Moon in
'November 26 (*250). In
rongorongo times the preceding
date November 25 coincided with
the heliacal rising of Antares -
a sign of the arrival of summer.
South of the equator the 11th
month November corresponded to
month number 11 - 6 = 5 = May. |
|
I.e., it was possible to reuse
the ancient structure of
constellations, where the stars
of Taurus once had marked the
northern spring equinox. At the
opposite side of the sky was the
Scorpion (with Antares) and when
in late 'November Aldebaran was
close to the Full Moon it meant
the Sun was at Antares - a sign
of southern summer ahead. |
|
More anciently it had been the
Gemini pair who announced the
beginning of the summer half of
the year. In the times of Al
Sharatain their feet were
close to the Full Moon in late
'November, indicating the Sun
was in Sagittarius, close to
Kaus Medius and Kaus Australis
(δ respectively ε). |
The meaning of the 4th
and 5th Greek letters
δ and ε
are then briefly discussed:
|
Egyptian
door |
 |
Phoenician
dalet |
 |
Greek
delta |
Δ (δ) |
...
Delta (uppercase Δ,
lowercase δ) ... is the
fourth letter of the
Greek alphabet. In the
system of Greek numerals
it has a value of 4. It
was derived from the
Phoenician letter
Dalet.
Letters
that come from delta
include Latin D and
Cyrillic Д. A river
delta (originally, the
Nile River delta) is so
named because its shape
approximates the
upper-case letter delta
(the shape is a
triangle) ...
Dalet
(dāleth,
also spelled Daleth
or Daled) is the
fourth letter of many
Semitic alphabets ...
The letter is based on a
glyph of the Middle
Bronze Age alphabets,
probably called dalt
'door' (door in Modern
Hebrew is delet),
ultimately based on a
hieroglyph depicting a
door.

Egyptian jubilation |
 |
Phoenician
he |
 |
Greek
epsilon |
Ε (ε) |
|
Wikipedia
points at the Egyptian
gesture with arms held high
as a Sign of jubilation,
which may have been the
origin (via Phoenician he)
of epsilon.
 |
Moses as baby (ε)
was found among the bulrushes
in the Nile delta (Δ)
as I faintly recall it. And the
mammoth ivory piece had a figure of
adoration.
Finally I follow up
with 3 more pieces of information:
|
When Sun time was
counted from Bharani
the feet of the
Twins were visible
close to the Full
Moon beyond the
night of "November
10 = day 314 in the
Gregorian calendar
(had it been in use
at that time).
In rongorongo times
the Sun had advanced
to the June solstice
and the creator of
the Gregorian
calendar may have
calibrated this day
to coincide with
just before where
the feet of Castor
had been in the time
of Bharani. |
|
It
was natural to have
the June solstice
where the Sun could
be imagined to meet
his destiny in form
of the Milky Way.
Fire cannot survive
in water. But a pair
of new cycles
('years') would rise
again on the
opposite side of the
River:
... 'The earth rises
up from the sea
again, and is green
and beautiful and
things grow without
sowing. Vidar and
Vali are alive, for
neither the sea nor
the flames of Surt
have hurt them and
they dwell on the
Eddyfield, where
once stood Asgard.
There come also the
sons of Thor, Modi
and Magni, and bring
along his
hammer. There come
also Balder and
Hoder from the other
world. All sit down
and converse
together. They
rehearse their runes
and talk of events
of old days. Then
they find in the
grass the golden
tablets that the
Aesir once played
with.
Two children of men
will also be found
safe from the great
flames of Surt.
Their names, Lif and
Lifthrasir, and they
feed on the morning
dew and from this
human pair will come
a great population
which will fill the
earth. And strange
to say, the sun,
before being
devoured by Fenrir,
will have borne a
daughter, no less
beautiful and going
the same ways as her
mother.' |

ēJune 19 (170) can
be counted as 61 * 9
= 549 = 366 + 183 =
3 * 183.
Furthermore, when
this star position
was close to the
Full Moon in the
night of ēDecember
19 (*273 = *90 +
183) its distance
from ēMarch 21 (80)
alluded to the last
day of ēSeptember
(273 = 3 * 91).
