In the deluge ('spout') from the Urn the old order disappears. In rongorongo times Sadachbia rose with the Sun in Terminalia (February 23, 54) = Saad Al Thabib 13 (= 54 + 229 + 365 = 648 = 8 * 81 = 24 * 27):

Dabih (β Capricorni) marked where the 'old goat' was sacrificed, at the first point of Capricorn where Castor culminated.

Almuqaddam 13 (337) = April 18 (108 = 2 * 54) could be the origin of the new order (calendar year):

The exceptional 26th Chinese station, Extended Net, stretched from ε Hydrae to μ Hydrae and the latter star could be seen in the nakshatra night of Terminalia when Castor culminated.

This is the last page in the calendar of Dresden Codex:

I guess the 'Cosmic Dragon' (a kind of flying serpent)

could coincide with Lacerta, which in rongorongo times began to rise heliacally in February 21 at the same time as Ancha:

Not literally so, but with the idea of something flying away like a living spirit (manu rere):

Hevelius has drawn a connection from the right front hoof of the 'old horse':

This 'flying spirit' emerges from - and we could have guessed it - the star π (which the Chinese named Woo, 'Pestle'). In rongorongo times Woo rose heliacally in day 50 + 1, i.e. in the last day before Lacerta (the constellation with such star odd numbers as 365, 325, 91, etc.):

However, the figure going down at 22h is not flying up, and neither does spittle. It is flying down. North of the equator the sky is about to rise higher and higher, while the southern spring arrives half a year later. Perhaps the figure in front in Ca12-19 represents the watery winter flying down to the southern hemisphere.
