When comparing
the C and G texts the bluemarked
stars should be our primary
guides. They determined where
the Sun was. I have bluemarked Polaris
at the end of the C tablet as a
consequence of my assumption of
heliacal stars flowing in an
uninterrupted parallel with the
sequence of glyphs from heliacal
Algenib Pegasi at Ca1-1.

Polaris at Nga Kope Ririva A

to indicate its position close
to the
nakshatra Full Moon face, and
therefore also indicating the
arrival of spring on Easter

Writing about C I had
not yet realized that
the creator of the text
had followed the stars
in their precessional
advance forward in the
solar year - instead of
follwoing the Sun in his
precessional advance
earlier in the star
year.
Therefore I had not
found any reason to use the Easter
Island names.
October 20 (293) above
corresponds
to Tagaroa Uri 20 (293)
and to the Gregorian
date ºOctober 16 (289),
with the 4 days'
difference in the day number
due to the effects of
the precession from the
time of Gregorius XIII
to rongorongo times. |

I tried
to translate rutua -
te pahu - rutua te maeva
as 'sound of drums -
sound of sky moving'.
But in
Manuscript E the word
rutua was instead
used for describing the
powerful sound of the
incantantions of the 10
helpers of the King:
...
Honga came and gazed
in the direction below
(i.e., toward the west).
He called out to the
noteworthy ruler (?
ariki motongi)
Hotu: 'There is the
canoe of the queen! It
will be the first one to
land!' At this news King
Hotu replied to
Honga, 'Recite (rutu)
('powerful
incantations') as though
the ten brothers of the
chief (ariki maahu)
were one whole (?)'

To gather
in great numbers in
order to pelt
with stones (stars)
- rutua - could
have been a method of
getting rid of the
'winter fur' (the
'covering', Al Ghafr):
"The
Hajj is associated
with the life of Islamic
prophet Muhammad from
the 7th century, but the
ritual of pilgrimage to
Mecca is considered by
Muslims to stretch back
thousands of years to
the time of Abraham.
During Hajj,
pilgrims join
processions of hundreds
of thousands of people,
who simultaneously
converge on Mecca for
the week of the Hajj,
and perform a series of
rituals: each person
walks counter-clockwise
seven times around the
Ka'aba (the
cube-shaped building and
the direction of prayer
for the Muslims), runs
back and forth between
the hills of Al-Safa
and Al-Marwah,
drinks from the
Zamzam Well,
goes to the plains of
Mount Arafat to
stand in vigil, spends a
night in the plain of
Muzdalifa, and
performs symbolic
stoning of the devil by
throwing stones at three
pillars. The pilgrims
then shave their heads,
perform a ritual of
animal sacrifice, and
celebrate the three day
global festival of
Eid al-Adha ... The
days of Eid have
been singled out in the
Hadith as 'days
of remembrance' [i.e.,
'not forgotten' - kai
viri kai viri.]."
(Wikipedia)
... The canoe reached
the islets (off the
coast), and Ira
saw that there were
three such islets.
Ira said, 'Hey you,
crew of young men, the
vision of Hau Maka,
our father, which he
revealed to me, has come
true. There are 'the
handsome sons of Te
Taanga, who are
standing in the water',
for this is the name
that the dream soul of
Hau Maka gave
them. Unforgotten (?
kai viri kai viri)
are they, these three.
And therefore this is
the (right) land lying
there; this is Te
Pito O Te Kainga,
which also received its
name from the dream
soul.' (Manuscript E p.
17.)
215 + 185
= 400 is the approximate number
carefully hidden among the
tresses of Pachamama
(the Earth Mother):
Counting
to 185 may have begun
when Hotu Matua
came with his summer to
Easter Island. 288
(Tagaroa Uri 15) + 185 =
473 (= 16 * 29½ + 1).
Counted
from January 1 there
were 215 days to
heliacal Arcturus in
Tagaroa Uri 22.
Tagaroa Uri 22 -
Tagaroua Uri 15 = 7 and 185 + 7
= 192 = 384 / 2. Counting
counterclockwise seven (times
around the
Ka'aba) we will
reach 215 + 7 + 185 = 407:
