There is
an essential piece
missing from our jigsaw
pussle, like a Higg's
particle in the cosmos
of primary numbers.
16 is the
number of days from the
true heliacal position
of a star until it once
again will be visible.
Until now
I have not been able to
in a satisfactory way
explain why the number
of glyphs on the C
tablet is 392 + 348 =
740. I was convinced the
whole measure 740 in
some way referred to a
pair of cycles, but
although 348 for side b
clearly was equal to 12
* 29 there was no
multiple of 29 suitable
for side a of the
tablet.
However,
assuming the first day
('day zero') on side a
has no glyph, then we
should count with 393
days:

And then

We can
apply number 16 also as

these 6 stars (tau

The text
has a Rei at
Ga7-22, which probably
means a cycle has been
completed (by alluding
to
π = 22 / 7). This was
where He
Maro 1 (152) was close
to the Full Moon.
Heliacal
RA 255 suggests 100 day
were ahead to the
'solstice' - which would
come at glyph number 290
+ 1.
Hau
tea without mata
in Ga7-28 could allude
to heliacal day 314 in
the Al Sharatain
calendar. In rongorongo
times this was where
Alrisha (the Knot)
culminated at midnight.
At the
other side of the year
was the midnight
culminatiion of Thuban -
the star where the tail
of the great serpent was
cut by the circumpolar
circle, proving it had
been the Pole star ca 1
/ 6 * 25700 years
earlier:
