The

pair was
half a
year
away
from
Dhanistha
and
also
from Albali (ε,
the
first
star in
Aquarius)
- which
in
rongorongo
times
happened
to rise
with the
Sun 314
days
after
March 21:
In
the time
of Al
Sharatain
the
Dhanistha
lunar
station
could
have marked
where
the Old
year
ended.
Or we
could
say it
may have marked
the end
of the
halfyear
beginning

The
glyphs
above,
however,
do not describe
and
ending
but
rather a new
beginning,
because
we can
see
signs of
manu
rere
(spirit-breaths)
and of
'flower
buds'
ahead -
like
fists
(with no
'petals' as yet
counted).
By the
way, Pollux
was a
pugilist.
...
Let
the
spirit
of
the
man
be
gathered
to
the
world
of
being,
the
world
of
light.

Then
see.
Placed
in
the
body
is
the

In rongorongo times Ga3-14 coincided with 9h. Here ξ Cancri should rise with the Sun. The 7th Arab manzil Al Tarf (The End) was ruled by the stars ξ Cancri and λ Leonis (Alterf), which latter star came 143.4 days after 0h, i.e. in RA day 143 (August 11).

... In rongorongo times the last Greek lettered star in Orion (ξ) rose with the Sun in June 21. The letter seems to have originated from the Phoenician letter samekh (tent peg, supporting prop), which in turn may have been derived from the ancient Egytian djed column ... |
In
ancient
Babylonia
there
evidently
was a
Turtle (Tortoise)
where
Cancer
should
be:
... Let us suppose that what happened in the case of Aries and Libra happened with six constellations out of the twelve: in other words, that the original zodiac consisted only of six constellations.
The upper list not only classifies in an unbroken manner the Fish-Man, the Goat-Fish, the Scorpion-Man, and Marduk of the Babyloniana, but we pick up all or nearly all of the ecliptic stars or constellations met with in early Egyptian mythology, Apis, The Tortoise¹, Min, Serk-t, Chnemu, as represented by appropriate symbols.'
¹I think I am right about the Tortoise, for I find the following passage in Jensen, p. 65, where he notes the absence of the Crab: ‘Ganz absehend davon, ob dasselbe für unsere Frage von Wichtigkeit werden wird oder nicht, muss ich daran erinnern, das unter den Emblemen, welche die sogenannten 'Deeds of Salè' häufig begleiten, verschiedene Male wie der Scorpion so die Schildkröte abgebildet gefunden wird’.

"In
Polynesia
the
tortoise
personified
the
war
god
Tu.
Drawing
tattoo
marks
of a
tortoise
was
a
custom
among
warriors.
In a
story
from
Admiralty
Island,
people
are
born
from
eggs
laid
by
the
World
Turtle.
There
are
many
similar
creation
stories
throughout
Polynesia."
