The
nakshatra
time
of
Manus
Catenata was
in
the
middle
of
the
Pegasus
Square.
Scheat
(β
Pegasi)
rose
ca
8.8
days
earlier
and
Algenib
(γ)
ca
8.7
days
later.
In
rongorongo
times
it
was
March
14
(3-14).
At
the
time
of
the
Hyades

there
were
only
10
days
to

JANUARY

Both solstices could in principle have motivated a 'chained hand'. But the glyphs above were probably intended to suggest the return of the Sun south of the equator at the time when the Full Moon had passed the center of the Pegasus Square. There is a bird egg far down at 12h and it could have referred to heliacal ο Virginis (at her chin).
There are 12 Rei glyphs in the text (and all are on side a of the tablet). Above are 5 and the remaining 7 are beyond heliacal Antares. South of the equator Ana-mua was at the front of summer, and 8 + 5 = 13: ... An iconographic study by Jeff Kowalski suggests a cosmological layout for the Nunnery. 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 ...
