Should we read the Pachamama tresses from left to right - which could have been the correct way - then there would be 214 followed by 182 'notches'. We could then think of her tresses as a statement that there once had been 210 (oJULY 29) - oMARCH 21 (80) = 130 days of spring followed by 84 days of summer - adding up to 214 - and then 182 nights of winter. Or the other way around because the Pachamama statue stood south of the equator:

145 days before Muphrid (η Bootis, at his left leg and 5 days earlier than Arcturus) equals 5 * 29 days. Elnath came in night number 16, therefore these 145 = 15 + 130 days.

At the time of Elnath Alphard rose with the Sun in oMAY 22 and the Knot (Ukdah) was completed in day 5 * 29 = 145, i.e. in oMAY 25:
