The important stars at the beginning
of side b were nakshatra stars, no longer heliacal
stars, and this change may well have been caused by
nakshatra Sirius, because the peculiar glyph type in
Ga8-16 returns in Gb1-1 (11 days later):

Precession is a phenomenon
relating to the Sun. In the night sky the stars
were standing still as usual. Except for Sirius who
closely followed the movement of the Sun and
instead stood still at the end of June.
Side b of the G tablet
has 242 glyphs and when Land was 'sinking'
it meant the night side was expanding with
the same measure. 242 -
62 = 180. In number 123 (as the day
number for MAY 3) we can count
12 * 3 = 36(0). The regular Sun calendar could
have carried twice 180 = 360 days (like the
Egyptian calendar). 180 - 123 = 57:

The prow
of the 'Canoe of the Sun' (including
Antares, Ana-mua) would have gone down:
5 of the total 12 Rei
glyphs on the tablet are in line Ga8. None of
them is on side b. Beyond Ga7-10 there are 7
Rei glyphs.
...
The higher placement of the North Building, with
its 13 exterior doorways (reflecting the 13
layers of heaven), and the celestial serpents
surmounting the huts identify it with the
celestial sphere.
The
iconography of the West Building, with 7
exterior doorways (7 is the mystic number of the
earth's
surface),
and figures of Pawahtun -
the earth god as
a turtle - indicate this to be the Middleworld,
the place of the sun's descent into the
Underworld.
The
East Building has mosaic elements reflecting the
old war cult of Teotihuacan, where
tradition had it that the sun was born; thus,
this may also be Middleworld, the place of the
rising sun. Finally, the South Building has 9
exterior doorways (the Underworld or Xibalba
had 9 layers), and has the lowest placement in
the compex; it thus seems to be associated with
death and the nether regions
...
We can compare with the situation half a year
earlier, where I below have kept the dates at the time of
Sheratan (Roman times):

The Front of the Mouth of
the Twins (Mash-mashu-arkū)
was the 12th Babylonian ecliptic
station, ruled by Pollux. By adding 182
days to MAY 12 we will reach day 314
(NOVEMBER 10). After 5 days, counted
from heliacal Pollux, was reached day
137 (MAY 17), another
π day

Naos is

in the Sunken Ship (Argo Navis), in its
stern, and in rongorongo times Naos (the
Ship) rose
with the Sun at 8h. The Ship star could be seen close to the Full Moon in
January 19, the first night beyond 13 *
29½ counted from the previous January 1.
At the time of the Hyades Gate it would
have been in night 320 (= 137 + 183).
Rei in Ga2-27 (π),
at the beginning of 123 (= 350 - 227) days ruled by
the Ship of the Sun, was at day 137 counted from 0h, which is
like the day number for May 17:
