The distance from the dates of my assumed heliacal calendar in rongorongo times to the dates in my from the C text perceived Al Sharatain lunar (nakshatra) calendar are 300 - 144 = 156 days (not 366 / 2 = 183 days), because precession had moved the Sun 27 (= 183 - 156) days earlier in the year (since the time around 71 * 27 = 1900 years previously when the heliacal and lunar calendars could have been made to 'walk hand in hand'). According to the heliacal calendar the stars had moved 27 days in the opposite direction (i.e. ahead), and therefore 300 + 27 - 144 = 183 (= 366 / 2). However, the text could also allude to the time when 0h was at the star Bharani (41 Arietis), with Ga1-1 at "April 14 (which can be written 4-14 and counted as 414 = 9 * 46) - to be compared with 427 (4-27) = 4 * 61 and 413 (4-13) = 4 * 59. According to my reconstructions: in rongorongo times Bharani rose with the Sun 41.4 (cfr 414) days after 0h. Aldebaran came 27 days later, 41 + 27 = 68 days after March 21 (80), i.e. Aldebaran rose with the Sun in May 28 (148). Moreover, from the first year of the Gregorian calendar (1582 A.D.) to 1842 A.D. (which I have used as a possible 'zero'-year for the rongorongo calendar texts) there are 260 years, and 260 / 71 = ca 3.66 days. Therefore, due to the precession, the stars in 1842 A.D. must have risen around 4 days later than in the time of Gregorius XIII. This could explain why the glyph for heliacal Aldebaran (Ana-muri) was placed not at the beginning of side a but 4 days later:
Counting at ºMay 26 (146 = 2 * 73 = 2 / 5 * 365): 5-26 could allude to 52 * 6 = 312 = 4 * 78 = 13 * 24. *66 = 366 - 300. |
