anew with day 274 (Tagaroa Uri 1), because correctly
aligned stars and dates appear to point at the 9th
day beyond viri at the spring equinox in Hora
Nui 22.

According to the calendar of Julius Caesar - when read as referring to star dates - Ga5-30 corresponded to nakshatra night 'March 15, i.e. to a position 360 nights after the previous spring equinox.
Beyond this open henua
is the beginning of a new glyph line, and
nakshatra night 364 (= 4 * 91) counted
from the previous spring equinox
coincided with the position
where the Sun King was said to reach Easter
Island, i.e. in Tagaroa Uri 15:
