Where are the stars of Antinous? This constellation is no longer accepted - which could be a Sign equally strong as a great star with no name. Modern man can no longer accept there is a path across the night sky along which the souls will migrate. Furthermore, Roman history would be threatened if it was revealed much of it was pure myth.

Allen:

"Antinoüs lies in the Milky Way, directly south from the star Altair; the head of the figure at η and σ; the rest of the outline being marked by θ, ι, κ, λ, ν, and δ, all now in Aquila

Flamsteed omitted σ and ν from his catalogue, but added i."

In my star list I have so far only 4 Eagle stars, and only Deneb Okab is in the asterism Antinous:

Deneb Okab δ Aquilae 3.36 03° 35′ N 19h 23m 295.0
Tarazed γ Aquilae 2.72 10° 29′ N 19h 44m 300.3
Altair (609) α Aquilae 0.76 08° 44′ N 19h 48m 301.3
Alshain β Aquilae 3.71 06° 17′ N 19h 53m 302.6

In rongorongo times the RA day of Deneb Okab (the Tail of the Black Eagle) was not number 295 (= 10 * 29½) but 294 (according to my estimate).

However, the glyph number for Cb11-16 (where 111 * 6 = 666) was 268 (= 368 - 100) counted from the beginning of side b. And here Metoro stated that the man was 'climbing' (kake te tagata), i.e. ascending:

January 7 (372) 8 9
July 8 9 (190) 10
Cb11-14 Cb11-15 (659) Cb11-16 (268)
tagata ka tomo i roto - i tona mea tona mea kua kake te tagata - ki tona rona
ψ Sagittarii (291.6), θ Lyrae (291.8) ρ Sagittarii (292.6), υ Sagittarii (292.7), Arkab Prior (293.0), Arkab Posterior, Alrami (293.2) χ Sagittarii (293.6), Deneb Okab (294.0)
