In August 25 the time of 'hiding in the tree' is over, it could be the time to say Fiat Lux.

... Wilkinson (in his Hieroglyphernas Värld) informs us that each morning Sun was regarded to rise between a pair of sycomore trees named 'Two Knives' ... presumably because ... they symbolized the victory every morning in Sun's fight agains the powers of darkness. Such knives could be visualized together with a cat (miu) with a hare's head, and the serpent of darkness (Apophis) was cut to pieces with knives:

The Extended Net is similar to the foliage of the Tree, not hiding very much. When Sun descends from the Tree he is ready to make a new turn as King, but he has been rejuvenated and is only a child, not yet ready. What did the little king (Regulus) do (kua aha, cfr Ca6-15) up in the Tree?

The Turkmenistan picture has more Signs for us, for instance the slope leading up to the Tree:

It seems to carry 3 pyramids of days, 21 days. These days should correspond to the last 3 weeks of July:

A closer look reveals the Turkestan Tree is 'cutting off' the construction of the last pyramid before it has been completed. It reminds me of another construction which had to be realigned:

... Taetagaloa goes right over there and steps forward to the stern of the canoe saying - his words are these: 'The canoe is crooked.' (kalo ki ama). Instantly Likāvaka is enraged at the words of the child. Likāvaka says: 'Who the hell are you to come and tell me that the canoe is crooked?' Taetagaloa replies: 'Come and stand over here and see that the canoe is crooked.' Likāvaka goes over and stands right at the place Taetagaloa told him to at the stern of the canoe.

Looking forward, Taetagaloa is right, the canoe is crooked. He slices through all the lashings of the canoe to straighten the timbers. He realigns the timbers. First he must again position the supports, then place the timbers correctly in them, but Kuikava the son of Likāvaka goes over and stands upon one support. His father Likāvaka rushes right over and strikes his son Kuikava with his adze. Thus Kuikava dies.

Taetagaloa goes over at once and brings the son of Likāvaka, Kuikava, back to life. Then he again aligns the supports correctly and helps Likāvaka in building the canoe. Working working it is finished.

The 14th step-pyramid appears to have only 1 completed 'step', which means the measure would be finished after 13 * 7 + 1 = 92 'steps', perhaps referring to the distance from March 21 (80) to June 21 (172):

132 + 260 = 392 = 156 + 236. And 156 - 132 = 260 - 236 = 24 = the first 24 days of August.

132 - 92 = 40, i.e. the season from  June 22 (173) to August 25 (237) equals 40 + 24 = 64 (= 8 * 8) days. Unless we jump over July 12 (the day of Castor).
