Today happens to be April 15, but it
is not Tagaroa Uri 15.
Approximately in April 18 (108) the
sun will be at Baten
Kaitos (ζ at the 'heart' of the Sea
Beast) and at the close by χ Ceti,
and in day 108 + 16 = 124 (May 8)
these stars will again become visible.

Before moving on in the G text we
should now read in Manuscript E to see
what happened after the canoes had
been taken apart and turned into
houses:
...
After the food supplies had been
brought on land, the two rulers, the
king and the queen said, 'Drag the
canoes on land and take them apart
(so the wood can be used) to build
houses and cover the roofs!' They
dragged the two canoes on land and
took them apart. After they had
finished disassembling the canoes,
Nuku covered all the houses.

'Look around for a suitable area (maara)

and let them work the fields!'
Teke
took command of the
Hanau

and went with them to
Poike.
After he had settled them there,
Teke
said to the
Hanau Eepe.
'Settle here, work, and keep peace
among yourselves (he
mee
o mahamaha kina);
let this the the goal of every one
of you!'
Then
Teke
assumed royal powers (pahere
ariki)
and passed them on to
Iko.
Teke
installed the king;
Iko
was (now) the king (ariki)
of the
Hanau
Eepe.
Teke
called out to the men, 'Iko
is your king, oh people (mahingo)!'
The
Hanau
Eepe
remained there.
Teke
returned. (He) came to
Oromanga.

Vanaga.
Teke ki
nei, as far as, until (?
tehe 1). Teketeke,
crest, ridge. Churchill. |
... The 'bird' in
Ca6-13 has a hole where his eye
should have been, which could
have motivated Metoro to use the
word teke (occiput)
doubled. In the picture we can
see the occipital bone is at the
back and at bottom - it is
similar to the 'cup shell' (the
'Venus half'). As such it is
connected with 'birth' (*). But
my rule for double words means
teketeke then will
correspond to the opposite, to
'death' (which ageees with the
absent eye).
And consequently Metoro
added ki ruga ... |

The cryptic riddle
'25 years' as a final instruction in
this part of the text suggests the
presence of Saturn:
... Hau tea in Gb4-33 was not 52 days after 0h but 52 - 27 = 25 days after 0h, in day 80 + 25 = 105 counted from 'January 1
...
When Roggeveen discovered Easter
Island in 1722 it was Easter Sunday,
which in that year happened to be
April 5 (95) according to our
current Gregorian sun calendar.
According to the stars, however, it
should have been day 95 + (1722 -
1582) / 71 = 97, when Adhil (ξ
Andromedae) rose with the Sun:

The heliacal
stars at
maitaki
in Gb4-27
would have
become
visible
again in
'April 25
(*400), in
the night
before the
Hyades Gate
was rising
together
with the
Sun.
In Gb5-11 a fish
has been caught and
held up in front. 16 days earlier
was glyph 348. I.e. 348 + 16 = 364.
The reason side b on the Mamari
tablet carries only 348 glyphs could
be that the year was finished with
day 364 and the last stars to become
visible again would have been those rising with
the Sun in day 348. 392 (side a) +
348 (side b) + 16 = 756 = 2 * 378 =
108 * 7 = 27 * 28.
Likewise could we add
16 to those 46 * 29 glyphs carried
on the Tahua tablet:
Mamari |
740 + 16 |
756 = 27 * 28 |
Tahua |
1334 + 16 |
1350 = 27 * 50 |
|
