Once again. The
Giant (Orion)
was killed by
the Scorpion at
the opposite
side of the
year. At the
time of the
Hyades Gate this
happened 64 days
earlier than in
rongorongo
times when
λ Scorpii
(Shaula) rose
with the Sun in
December 11:

The Arab
manzil Al
Shaula
was though
also
governed by
Lesath (υ
Scorpii)
which rose 1
day earlier
than Shaula.
And the
corresponding
Hindu
station
Mula
was ruled by
8 stars, one
of which
(Denebakrab)
had been
picked out
by the
Chinese for
their
Tail

If once upon
a time Orion
was killed
when the
tail of the
Scorpion
rose with
the Sun,
then the
idea of
all together
making an
effort to
create
a new king
may have
followed
upon this
ominous
event.
Haka-ariki
means to
'make a
king' and in
the G text
this type of
glyph
evidently
may have occurred
when the
tail of the
Scorpion was
close to the Full
Moon:

Possibly
the
position
of
Easter
Island
(south
of the
equator)
implied
the
'death
of Sun as a
Giant'
had to
be
mirrored
so the
season
instead was
reflected
by the
position
of the
Full
Moon.
The
beginning
of April
was
after
autumn
equinox
when the
head of
summer
faded
away
(cfr
Gb5-29).
In other
words,
when the
Sun
had reached
Orion.
To 'make
a king'
probably
meant
there
had to
be a
kava
ceremony
at his
installation.
... A
potent
drink
results
in a
faster
onset
with a
lack of
stimulation;
the
user's
eyes
become
sensitive
to
light,
they
soon
become
somnolent
and then
have
deep,
dreamless
sleep
within
30
minutes.
Sleep is
often
restful
and
there
are
pronounced
periods
of
sleepiness
correlating
to the
amount
and
potency
of kava
consumed
...
...
dramatic
conditions
are
imposed
on the
sovereignity
at the
time of
the
ruler's
accession.
Hocart
observes
that the
Fijian
chief is
ritually
reborn
on this
occasion;
that is,
as a
domestic
god. If
so,
someone
must
have
killed
him as a
dangerous
outsider.
He is
indeed
killed
by the
indigenous
people
at the
very
moment
of his
consecration,
by the
offering
of
kava
that
conveys
the land
to his
authority
(lewaa).
Grown
from the
leprous
body of
a
sacrificed
child of
the
native
people,
the
kava
the
chief
drinks
poisons
him ...
This kava
'death' was
only
temporary,
yet it may
have
motivated
the death
