I
had
arranged
the
first
3
parts
of
my
perceived
calendar
for
the
year
as
follows
and
had
decided
winter
solstice
must
be
in
its
first
part:
The
Mangaians
of old
had kept
their
precessional
clocks
running
and
'... only
at the
evening
of the
solstitial
days can
spirits
enter
heaven,
the
inhabitants
of the
northern
parts of
the
island
at one
solstice,
the
dwellers
in the
south at
the
other
...'.
If the
Rei
type of
glyph
- together
with
Rogo
the only
glyph
type
with a
Capital
letter -
marked
such a
spirit
leaping
place (Rei-ga),
then it
might show
where
the
'carapace'
of the
'Earth
Turtle'
had a
crack allowing
spirits
both to
escape
at to
return.
...
Considering
the fact
that the
crossroads
of
ecliptic
and
Galaxy
are
crisis-resistant,
that is,
not
concerned
with the
Precession,
the
reader
may want
to know
why the
Mangaians
thought
they
could go
to
heaven
only on
the two
solstitial
days.
Because,
in order
to
'change
trains'
comfortably,
the
constellations
that
serve as
'gates'
to the
Milky
Way must
'stand'
upon the
'earth',
meaning
that
they
must
rise
heliacally
either
at the
equinoxes
or at
the
solstices.
The
Galaxy
is a
very
broad
highway,
but even
so there
must
have
been
some
bitter
millenia
when
neither
gate was
directly
available
any
longer,
the one
hanging
in
midair,
the
other
having
turned
into a
submarine
entrance
...
The
Mangaians
of old
may have
been
lucky
and had
their
solstices
exactly
right.
Because
possibly
this was
around 2
* 71 =
142
years
earlier
than my
assumed
year
1842
A.D. for
the
rongorongo
texts. Rei
in
Ga2-27
(π) was
27
positions
(precessional
days)
later
than
Rei
in
Ga1-30
which in
turn was
not at
June 21
(solstice)
but 2
days
later in
June 23:

I.e., the creator of the G text could have used the heliacal positions of Furud (ζ Canis Majoris) and ζ Puppis (Naos) to determine his Rei-ga dates - in rongorongo times respectively in Roman times. The enigmatic 123 would then be the difference between half 300 and 27:

121 |
 |
| Ga1-30 |
Ga2-27 (57) |
Ga7-10 (179) |
| 27 + 123 = 150 (= 300 / 2) |
Though maybe the place for the return of spirits should be at another place than where spirits leaped up into the sky. Possibly a place of return (reincarnation) was at heliacal Bright Fire. MAY 21 can be read as 5-21 and then counted as 52 * 1 = 52 which could allude to 364 / 7 - the number of weeks in a year:

And the Babylonias could have used their Southeastern Star in Nangaru (the Carpenter). From page 314 in Hamlet's Mill:
"... the proper attention will have to be paid to the Babylonian name of Cancer, namely Nangar(u), 'the Carpenter'. This is essential because in the twelfth tablet of the Gilgamesh Epic, preserved only in Sumerian language, Gilgamesh complains bitterly of having lost his 'pukku and mikku', instead of having left them 'in the house of the carpenter', where they would have been safe apparently.
'Pukku and mikku' ... are lost 'at the crying of a little girl' ... this sounds slightly improbable. It is laughter, if anything, that wrecks the old, and introduces a new age of the world. Maui lost his immortality because his companions laughed when he passed the 'house of death' of the Great-Night-Hina."
At the time of Bharani the solstices coincided with Ga3-10 where we can see a sign of Janus:
Below this doublefaced Janus is a string with 20 beads and this side of the coin should belong to the Moon. The front side of the coin has half a Ship (Argo Navis). What looks like a broad henua field stands above. This half of the ship belongs to the Sun. On the Moon side there is instead a water pitcher resting at top center. Heads and tail of the ship.
Furthermore, at Ga3-14 we could count 314 - 137 = 177 (= 6 * 29½). This was St John's Day with Christmans day close to the Full Moon. In the preceding glyph is vaha mea:
