On Easter Island, I suggest, the picture was completely reversed. First we can envision the rather common glyph type composition with kiore at left turned 90º to the right in order to better appreciate what I mean:
Nut has straight legs, stretching herself, while kiore has his legs differently posed, as if crouching and intent on making a quick jump ahead.
Also the elbows of Nut are drawn to increase the space below her, whereas kiore has his elbows in the opposite direction, resulting in a lower arch.
Kiore is looking ahead, but Nut is looking down. But in his proper orientation kiore will be looking up:
My example is from the Keiti text, where the reversal pointed out by Metoro probably refers to the position of Eb4-1 (which is 107 + 1 counted from the beginning of side b):
In Egypt the composition for the night had 3 components:
If the reversal on Easter Island should be complete we can expect the Easter Island pattern to be:
The central person should be a goddess with characteristics opposite to those of air. |
