Once again. 365 (solar year) - 354 (Islamic year) = 11,
which number - I have suggested - belongs to black Saturn.
Basically number 11 means 'one more being born' (after the
fingers on both hands have been counted in full). Nut
was allowed 5 dark nights from 360 to 365 to give birth to
the gods:
... Nut,
whom the Greeks sometimes identified with
Rhea,
was goddess of the sky, but it was debatable if in
historical times she was the object of a genuine cult. She
was Geb's
twin sister and, it was said, married him secretly and
against the will of
Ra.
Angered, Ra
had the couple brutally separated by
Shu
and afterwards decreed that
Nut
could not bear a child in any given month of any year.
Thoth,
Plutarch tells us, happily had pity on her. Playing draughts
with the Moon, he won in the course of several games a
seventy-second part of the Moon's light with which he
composed five new days. As these five intercalated days did
not belong to the official Egyptian calendar of three
hundred and sixty days,
Nut
was thus able to give birth successively to five children:
Osiris,
Haroeris
(Horus), Set,
Isis
and Nepthys.
Another such period for birth could have ruled from 354 (=
12 * 29½) to 360.
11
+ 14 = 25 = 5 * 5 * 5 (the cube of 'new fire') should
correspond to the black Ka'aba:
... It should be
stated right now that 'fire' is actually a great circle
reaching from the North Pole of the celestial sphere to its
South Pole ...
There are 392 glyphs on side a of the C tablet. By adding 11
this number transforms to 403 (= 13 * 31, illustrating
mirror reversal):

Writing
about C I had not yet realized that the creator of
the text had followed the stars in their
precessional advance forward in the solar year -
instead of follwoing the Sun in his precessional
advance earlier in the star year.
Therefore I had not found any reason to use the
Easter Island names.
October
20 (293) above corresponds to Tagaroa Uri 20 (293)
and to the Gregorian date ºOctober 16 (289), with
the 4 days' difference in the day number due to the
effects of the precession from the time of Gregorius
XIII to rongorongo times. |

Although I once
decided to use September 22 as the day for equinox, it is
undeniable that this year (A.D. 2015) the equinox occurred in
September 23. Furthermore, there is evidence for a structure
with 21 as the basic day number for the cardinal points -
excepting 23 for the last such in September:

- 266 = 88. The central glyph above is Cb1-6, which in view
of all so far discussed probably illustrates the idea of
'coming apart', 'separation'. According to our Gregorian
calendar, which was lagging behind with 4 days, ºOctober 15
(288) was at hau tea with Janus eyes in Cb1-3. 288 +
4 - 27 = 265 ('September 22 and my assumed equinox around 76
B.C.).

The
empty hand in Ca14-29 (where 142 * 9 = 18 * 71) should be
contrasted with the fist held high in front in Cb1-10 -
meaning 'nothing as yet counted of the new year':
... The
practice of turning down the fingers, contrary to our
practice, deserves notice, as perhaps explaining why
sometimes savages are reported to be unable to count
above four. The European holds up one finger, which he
counts, the native counts those that are down and says
'four'. Two fingers held up, the native counting those
that are down, calls 'three'; and so on until the white
man, holding up five fingers, gives the native none
turned down to count. The native is nunplussed, and the
enquirer reports that savages can not count above four
...
This interpretation implies the possibility of an 11 nights
long period of separation between the 'pair of canoes' could
have been completed with glyph number 391 (Tagaroa Uri 15,
471) + 11 = 402. And number 7 of them would then be at
Cb1-6.
... By adding one
night out in the plain of Muzdalifa
(Ga6-27) the total appears to be 7 + 1 + 3 = 11 ...
Together (cfr Cb1-13) the pair of 'time canoes' could then
flow a further 4 nights to the nakshatra star Bharani, where
the split up Arab station Al Zubānā was beginning,
stretching for another 11 nights. These 4 extra nights could
have been necessary to reach the correct time according to
our Gregorian calendar.
Cb1-16
corresponded to night number 16 counted from heliacal Polaris,
when according to theory Polaris should once again be visible
late at night (though not as far south as on Easter Island).

Polaris (Ana-nia, the
Pillar-to-Fish-by) was 'out in the sea' (according to
the Tahitian star pillar list). In the calendar from the
time of Al Sharatain it was RA day number 365
('March 20).
On Easter Island the 3 stars rising
together, Polaris, Baten Kaitos, and Metallah, could
have been 'personfied' by the 3 islets outside the
island proper:
... 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.' (Manuscript E p. 17.)
