The
September equinox around 76 B.C. (at the time of Al
Sharatain) was evidently in Cb1-3 illustrated by a great
hau tea with Janus eyes. Below I have freely mixed
the G and C texts. It is, though, easy to perceive the flow
of time by following the stars:

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. |

The
September equinox is where north of the equator the Sun
leaves and south of the equator the September equinox is
where he arrives. Hamal (α) is
the head star of Aries and in rongorongo times Hamal rose
with the Sun at 2h. But I have blackmarked those stars which
north of the equator rose with the Sun in spring. On Easter
Island these stars could be observed close to the Full Moon
in the southern autumn. Instead I have bluemarked those
stars which were close to the Full Moon in the southern
spring. It remains to be seen whether this pattern is true
on both sides of the tablets and through all the rongorongo
texts:

The
Chinese Hairy Head could represent the back side of
the old year (perhaps at Alcyone). By shaving the head its
hair becomes separated, not contaminating the newborn baby,
instead remaining spread out on the ground (tuku).
... During Hajj, pilgrims join processions of
hundreds of thousands of people, who simultaneously converge
on Mecca for the week of the Hajj, and perform a
series of rituals: each person walks counter-clockwise seven
times around the Ka'aba (the cube-shaped building and
the direction of prayer for the Muslims), runs back and
forth between the hills of Al-Safa and Al-Marwah,
drinks from the Zamzam Well, goes to the
plains of Mount Arafat to stand in vigil, spends a
night in the plain of Muzdalifa, and performs
symbolic stoning of the devil by throwing stones at three
pillars. The pilgrims then shave their heads, perform a
ritual of animal sacrifice, and celebrate the three day
global festival of Eid al-Adha ...
There were 55 - 25 = 30 days from Nga Kope Ririva A
Taanga to Tau-Ono. To the tukuga place
(Cb2-6) - where a 'shaving' seems to have taken place -
there were 31 days.

The
path of the spider (ke alanui a ke ku'uku'u), should
refer to the place where the Sun once moved across the line
of the equinox. But this was quite a long time ago. 56 * 71
= 3976, i.e. around 3976 - 1842 - 1 = ca 2133 B.C. Although
the time of measurement could have been different, with the
first reappearance of the star (after having been invisible
close to the Sun) as its 'heliacal' date. 56 - 16 = 40 and
40 * 71 = 2840, i.e. around 2840 - 1842 - 1 = ca 997 B.C.
