In rongorongo times κ Virginis rose heliacally 214 days after March 21 and Syrma rose with the Sun in the following day. This appears to be engraved in stone where the tresses of Pachamama are divided in right and left:

The back side of Pachamama should be understood as her night side and therefore we ought to compare with the 'text serpent' on side b, the back side, of the Mamari tablet. The tresses of Pachamama are hanging straight down without any sign of life and the times of Al Sharatain were in the past (at the back).
In the times of Al Sharatain we can assume the March equinox was in day 25 - because such had been decided by Julius Caesar. In the night of 'March 25 the stars at the 'door' in Virgo (κ and Spica) could be seen close to the Full Moon.

In rongorongo times these nakshatra stars had advanced 27 days from 'March 25 (84) to April 21 (111) due to the precession and the extraordinary week beginning here can be interpreted as evidence we ought to read this week from a nakshatra view. The bird in Cb1-11 has a closed beak.
I guess the drums could have been sounding (rutua - te pahu) because in the text the stars were moving (rutua te maeva) - as if by an 'Earth-quake' (ru) - shifting the view from the present time (side a) to the back side (tua).
