There
are 21
glyphs
in Ca5,
i.e. the
line
covers 3
weeks.
Below
are the
glyphs
in the line
together
with the
Gregorian
dates
but
without
the
manzil
dates
(which I
copied
from
Wikipedia).
These
manzil
dates do
not
agree
with the
heliacal
dates
for the
ruling
stars,
e.g.:
Sheratan (27.4 ) = April 17 (107) |
Sheratan 1 = May 17 (137) |
Spica (202.7) = October 10 (283) |
Simak 1 = November 3 (307) |
In
astrology
Aries
is
still
connected
with
March
and
the
Virgin
still
with
September,
although
precession
has
moved
all
constellations
a
month
ahead
in
the
year.
Logic
then
demands
the
month
'March'
of
the
astrologers should
be
where
we
have
April
and
Virgo
where
we
have
October.
If
in
our
system
Sheratan
should
rise
in
April
17,
then
the
astrologers
could
have
put
the
heliacal
rising
of
Sheratan
not
in
April
but
in
May,
because
'March'
for
them
meant
April
and
if
we
said
Sheratan
was
rising
in
April,
then
they
could
have
heard
us
state
'April',
which
for
them
meant
our
May.
Furthermore,
I
have
also
eliminated
my
Hindu
lunar
station
'dates',
because
I
think
the
Hindu
nakshatra
system
was
never
meant
to
be a
calendar.
Instead
the
structure
appears
to
have
incorporated
such
stars
which
(when
close
to
the
Full
Moon)
could
be
used
for
finding
where
Sun
was
in
his
journey
around
the
year.
Pushya
for
instance,
would
have meant
γ
(Ascellus
Borealis),
δ
(Ascellus
Australis),
and
θ
Cancri,
which
stars in
rongorongo
times
began
to
rise
heliacally
in
July
27
(208).
The
preceding
Punarvasu
referred
to
the
Gemini
twins
and
in
July
12
(193)
Castor
was
the
first
of
them
to
rise
with
the
Sun.

When
according
to
the
nakshatra
system
θ
Cancri
was
in
the
vicinity
of
the
Full
Moon
it
could
be
deduced
that
Sun
was
at
the
other
side
of
the
sky
roof,
i.e.
at
the
heliacal
stars
which
rose
in
Gregorian
day
208
-
181
=
January
27.
And
if
in
the
night
of
January
27
there
happened
to
be a
Full
Moon
which
was
visible,
then
the
stars
of
Dhanishta
(α -
δ
Delphini)
would
have
been close
to
her.
Prior
to
January
27
the
lunar
station
was
Sravana
which
had
its
stars
(α,
β,
and
γ
Aquilae)
near
the
Full
Moon
around
the
date January
14.

I
have
here used
CAPITAL
LETTERS
for
stars
which
were
used
by
the
Hindu
in nakshatra
fashion.
The
Arabic
manazil
stations
of
special
interest
in

(July
-
August)
were
Al

and
Al

with

heliacally,
respectively
(in

To distinguish the not visible daytime stars on one hand from those in the night on the other, I have marked the names of the latter black. But I have redmarked such stars which are mentioned with the lunar stations.
