We can assume the 6 explorers were quickly riding in and out repeatedly in order to be in tune with the season. It was dry (paka) and rain had to come (from the Moon girl) in order to make earth thrive. ... An ancient Vietnamese legend tells of a poor, young farmer who fell in love with his landlord's beautiful daughter. The farmer asked the landlord for his daughter's hand in marriage, but the proud landlord would not allow her to be bound in marriage to a poor farmer. The landlord decided to foil the marriage with an impossible deal; the farmer must bring him a 'bamboo tree of one-hundred sections'. The benevolent god Bụt appeared to the farmer and told him that such a tree could be made from one-hundred sections from several different trees. Bụt gave the him four magic words to attach the many sections of bamboo: 'Khắc nhập, khắc xuất', which means 'put in immediately, take out immediately'. The triumphant farmer returned to the landlord and demanded his daughter. The story ends with the happy marriage of the farmer and the landlord's daughter ... 100 sections of a 'bambo tree' could mean 100 days. 4 magic words times 100 = 400. Half 400 = 200: ... Perhaps the Ohiro and Oata nights (glyphs 229-230 in the C text) were primarily meant to illustrate another beginning. This structure for the beginning was in principle the same as that in the G text, because there hanau (birth) glyphs were used for the week from December 31 and then followed a pair of days with ordinal numbers 229-230 before the tablet had to be turned around ... The new 'word', after disposing of the dry season (koia kua oho), is according to Metoro beginning with a direction, viz. ki te vai, 'to the sea' (which once upon a time had sweet water, before the Mill began to churn out salt). The small vai glyph (Ca9-4) is drawn upraised. ... The two left, arrived, took the provisions, turned around, went, and returned to Pu Pakakina and left the provisions there. Raparenga handed over the treasure (raakau) of Ira. They stayed, and another day dawned. Then Ira said, 'Let's go! Let's go down to swim with the board, to ride the waves!'
May 10 is day 130 (= 13 * 10), when in rongorongo times the first star of Taurus rose heliacally, o-mikron. The day after was manzil day 360, when ξ Tauri followed. May 10 can be read as 5-10 = 5 * 10 = 50, and 130 - 50 = 80, i.e. RA day 50. South of the equator November 10 may have served a similar function. 80 = 314 - 234 (the RA-day of Nusakan, β Coronoa Borealis):
Nusakan is the first tine star in the crown to rise and in contact with the club in the hand of Bootes - possibly a treasure of wood, raa-kau. Wood was extremely rare on Easter Island, a real treasure.
The distance from Algenib Persei to Nusakan is 234.0 - 50.0 = 184 days (= 314 - 130). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
