It may have taken the
explorers one day (Hora Iti 20) for
moving from Oromanga to Papa O Pea and another day (Hora
Iti 26) for moving from Papa O Pea to Ahu Akapu, which
implies we ought to go back in time in order to look for similar
phenomena:
... On the fifth day of the month
of July ('Anakena'), they all got up, went downhill, went
on, and reached Hanga Te Pau. They took the provisions with
them, carrying them on their shoulders, went on, and reached Te
Pou. They made camp and slept in
Te Pou
on the tenth day of the month of July ('Anakena').
Then they all got up, carried their provisions on their shoulders,
went straight ahead, and followed the path of the dream soul of
Hau Maka
...

In
rongorongo times the date Anakena 5 probably corresponded to
July 1 in our own calendar. Hanga Te Pau evidently was an
expression for the last day of the Gregorian year, i.e. for
ºDecember 31, when the old
year had 'run out'.
|
Pau
1. To run out (food, water):
ekó pau te kai, te vai, is said when there
is an abundance of food or water, and there is
no fear of running out. Puna pau, a small
natural well near the quarry where the 'hats' (pukao)
were made; it was so called because only a
little water could be drawn from it every day
and it ran dry very soon. 2. Va'e pau,
clubfoot. Paupau: Curved. Vanaga.
1. Hakapau, to pierce
(cf. takapau, to thrust into). Pau.:
pau, a cut, a wound, bruised, black and
blue. 2. Resin. Mq.: epau, resin. Ta.:
tepau, gum, pitch, resin. (Paupau)
Hakapaupau, grimace, ironry, to grin. 3.
Paura (powder), gunpowder. 4. Pau.:
paupau, breathless. Ta.: paupau, id.
5. Ta.: pau, consumed, expended. Sa.:
pau, to come to an end. Ma.: pau,
finished. 6. Ta.: pau, to wet one
another. Mq.: pau, to moisten. Churchill.
Paua
or pāua
is the Māori name given to three species
of large edible sea snails, marine gastropod
molluscs which belong to the family
Haliotidae (genus Haliotis), known in
the USA as abalone, and in the UK as ormer
shells ... Wikipedia |
Once
upon a time the
stars Ascella and Nunki announced where Land ended,
but south of the equator and in rongorongo times they should
instead have announced where a new Land was about to be drawn up
from the deeps. Hanga Te Pau was the landing place on
Easter Island for the explorers.
Eridu
was the last city before the Sea. Eridu (Nunki) was also Canopus
(Agastya):
... At the end of
the Golden Age (Krita Yuga) a class of Asura who
had fought against the 'gods' hid themselves in the ocean where
the gods could not reach them, and planned to overthrow the
government. So the gods implored Agastya (Canopus, alpha
Carinae = Eridu) for help. The great Rishi did as he was bidden,
drank up the water of the ocean, and thus laid bare the enemies,
who were then slain by the gods. But now, there was no ocean
anymore! Implored by the gods to fill the sea again, the Holy
One replied: 'That water in sooth hath been digested by me. Some
other expedient, therefore, must be thought of by you, if ye
desire to make endeavour to fill the ocean ...
21 * 2
= 42 and here was 7h. Beyond Ga2-16 (46 = 21 * 6 - 80) - where the Gregorian
calendar had ºJuly 5 = 16 * 29½
days after ºMarch 21 in the preceding year - was Anakena 10,
where the explorers made camp and slept.

At 8h Sirius would once again
become visible, 16 nights after its heliacal rising in
ºJune 30 (*101).
... Again they went on
and reached Hanga Hoonu. They saw it, looked around, and gave
the name 'Hanga Hoonu A Hau Maka'. On the same day, when they
had reached the Bay of Turtles, they made camp and rested. They all
saw the fish that were there, that were present in large numbers -
Ah! Then they all went into the water, moved toward the shore, and
threw the fish (with their hands) onto the dry land. There were
great numbers (? ka-mea-ro) of fish. There were tutuhi,
paparava, and tahe mata pukupuku. Those were the three
kinds of fish.
After they had thrown the
fish on the beach, Ira said, 'Make a fire and prepare the
fish!' When he saw that there was no fire, Ira said, 'One of
you go and bring the fire from Hanga Te Pau!' One of
the young men went to the fire, took the fire and provisions (from
the boat), turned around, and went back to Hanga Hoonu. When
he arrived there, he sat down. They prepared the fish in the fire on
the flat rocks, cooked them, and ate until they were completely
satisfied. Then they gave the name 'The rock, where (the fish) were
prepared in the fire with makoi (fruit of Thespesia
populnea?) belongs to Ira' (Te Papa Tunu Makoi A Ira).
They remained in Hanga Hoonu for five days.
On the twenty-third
day of the month of July ('Anakena'),
they reached
Rangi Meamea. Then they arrived there, they looked around and
gave the name 'Rangi Meamea A Hau Maka'. They also named the
mountain 'Peke Tau O Hiti {A] Hau Maka'. They went around to the
other side of the mountain Hau Epa, looked around, and gave
the name 'Hau Epa A Hau Maka'.

When he (i.e. Ira)
saw that the beach was white and clean, he said, 'Hey, you! Here is
the plain where the king can live!' They stayed there and surveyed
the plain with great care. Ira knew with certainty that it
was very good. He named the bay 'Hanga Moria One' and the
plain 'Oromanga'. They all sat down and
rested, when suddenly they saw that a turtle had reached the shore
and had crawled up on the beach. He [Ira] looked at it and
said, 'Hey, you! The turtle has come on land!' He said, 'Let's go!
Let's go back to the shore.' They all went to pick up the turtle
...
... They stayed twenty-seven days in
Oromanga
... Then they all said
to the stone heaps, 'Whenever he calls, whenever he calls for us,
let your voices rush (to him) instead of the six (of us) (i.e., the
six stone heaps are supposed to be substitutes for the youths). They
all drew back to profit (from the deception) (? ki honui) and
listened. A short while later, Kuukuu called. As soon as he
had asked, 'Where are you?' the voices of the stone heaps replied,
'Here we are!' All (the youths) said, 'Hey, you! That was well
done!'

He (i.e.,
Ira) said, 'Let's go! We shall go to Papa O Pea.' They
all got up and moved on. On the twentieth day of the month of
August ('Hora Iti') they went to Papa o Pea. They
all went and came to Papa O Pea, looked around in Papa O
Pea, and gave the name 'Papa O Pea A Hau Maka'. [Papa
O Pea was repeated 5 times, which ought to be a Sign.]
They
stayed five days in Papa O Pea.
