We should now try to count

According to the calendar from the times of Al Sharatain
this position was at 'July 2 (183 = 366 / 2)

The creator of the text has here
arranged 8
glyphs which covered 8 nights with
no light and where the eyes (mata) were useless.
Arms were stretched high (haro
rima i ruga) in efforts for rising the sky
roof.
In the times of rongorongo the night
of July 30 had RA day 314 close to
the Full Moon. Here - where the Sun was in January
30 - the creator of the C text had placed the centre of 3 rising kahi.

The swallowing jaw of the towel of
Aquarius (ε) could
possibly have
marked where morning star Venus would soon return:
The synodic cycle of Venus
was 584 nights and August 6 was day 218 +

Counted from the first figure
with arms raised high (Ca5-24) there were 8
dark nights to Ca5-32.
Possibly the pair of 'fires'
(erua ahi) refers to the pair of
Venus appearances. 137 days from the northern
spring equinox was equal to 9h and this
number could allude to May 17 (137) where the
Arab calendar had its first day (Sheratan 1).
Lights adorned the night sky and
Metoro said there were 'cracks in the sky roof' (e
vaha noho ragi).
The creator of the C text
evidently assigned not 236 but 230 days for the morning star
Venus:

136 |

And since the sum of the
cycle must be 584 we can conclude the
evening star Venus was assigned not 250 but
256 days:
