In C the place for nakshatra Spica could
have been
close to the end of side a, where te honu had no
legs any more. And 4 glyphs later a 2nd 'climbing bird'
(manu kake) was rising. 14 * 26 = 364.

In
rongorongo times the
Legs were rising
with the Sun in April 1
(91) and at the time of
the Hyades Gate they
rose heliacally in day
392 (JANUARY 27). These
Legs were close
to the Full Moon in the
last day of September
respectively in JULY 28
- where we can count
7 * 28 = 196 = 392 / 2.
The last
glyph on side a of the C
tablet is number 392 and
the empty hand probably
illustrates 'nothing
remaining'. From
nakshatra Spica
(*Ca14-22) to heliacal
Ana-ni'a
(*Ca14-29) there was a
week. Although we maybe
should read Spica as
heliacal and Polaris as
nakshatra, because 80 +
202 + 183 = 465 and 465
- 366 = 99 (April 9) and
365 + 80 + 26 = 471
(April 15) and 471 - 366
- 99 = 6:

Mons Maenalus,
at the feet of
Boötes, was formed
by Hevelius, and
published in his
Firmamentum
Sobiescianum;
this title
coinciding with
those of neighboring
stellar groups
bearing Arcadian
names.
It is sometimes,
although
incorrectly, given
as Mons Menelaus,
- perhaps, as Smyth
suggested, after the
Alexandrian
astronomer referred
to by Ptolemy and
Plutarch. The
Germans know it as
the Berg
Menalus; and the
Italians as
Menalo.
Landseer has a
striking
representation of
the Husbandsman, as
he styles Boötes,
with sickle and
staff, standing on
this constellation
figure. A possible
explanation of its
origin may be found
in what Hewitt
writes in his
Essays on the Ruling
Races of Prehistoric
Times:
The Sun-god thence
climbed up the
mother-mountain of
the Kushika race as
the constellation
Hercules, who is
depicted in the old
traditional
pictorial astronomy
as climbing
painfully up the
hill to reach the
constellation of the
Tortoise, now called
Lyra, and thus
attain the polar
star Vega, which was
the polar star from
10000 to 8000 B.C.
May not this modern
companion
constellation, Mons
Maenalus, be from a
recollection of this
early Hindu
conception of our
Hercules transferred
to the adjacent
Bootes?
The
first star to rise
in Mons Maenalus was
71 Virginis, which I
have in my star list
and at *Ca14-23 and
at Ga5-29, in
the day after Spica. In C
this star was
possibly associated
with October 10
and with an empty head
gear. In G the date
could also have been
October 10.
In a
mirror the direction right becomes
left and the
direction left
becomes right, a
'change of sex'
because right is
associated with the male
and left with
the females. But up stays
up and down stays
down.
In
the picture of
Hevelius above,
however, the sign of
Libra is at Virgo
and up has been
turned towards the
right, soon to
become down because
the clock turns with
the Sun.
South of the equator,
though, the
constellations are
perceived upside
down, and
legs are needed when
climbing up a hill,
on the way up to the
Tortoise (Honu).
