At the beginning of side b, on the other hand,
was probably
considered the effects of precession with a reorientation of the
current view
and back from Corvus to a heliacal position 27 days later, corresponding to
turning back the precessional wheel for about 27 / 365 * 26000 =
ca 1900 years. Or approximately to time zero of the Gregorian
calendar:

At that time Sheratan (β
Arietis) indeed was the First Horn of Aries:
From Ca1-1 (March
22) up to and including Ca14-29 (April 17) there are 392 glyphs.
From March 22 (81)
to April 17 (107) there were 365 + 27 days.
However, the First Point of Libra cannot be at the beginning of side b.
For even if they looked at the stars close to the Full Moon in the
night of April 17 there was no Libra star close by.
The first star in Libra to rise with the Sun was Zuben Elgenubi
(α) in day 80 + 224 = 304 (October
31). Its first nakshatra position on side b should have been that
corresponding to the night of Gregorian day 107 (April 17) + 304
- 289 (October 16) = 122 (May 2) at Cb1-1 + 15, i.e. Cb1-16:

Kochab (β

Elgenubi (α Librae) would (ideally) have been
close to the Full Moon in May 2, together
with other stars rising with the Sun in October
31.
And
637 (Cb10-15) - 408 (Cb1-16) = 229 days later,
in June 17, it

But
when Zuben Elgenubi was the First Point of Libra
it would have been much earlier than ca 1900 years before
the time of rongorongo. October 31 (304) - 265
(September 22, equinox) = 39 and 39 / 365 *
26000 = ca 2800 years.
