Once
again. 365 (solar year)
- 354 (Islamic year) =
11, which number - I
have suggested - belongs to
black Saturn. Basically number 11
means 'one more being
born' (after the fingers
on both hands have been
counted in full). Nut
was allowed 5 dark
nights from 360 to 365
to give birth to the gods:
... Nut, whom the
Greeks sometimes
identified with
Rhea,
was goddess of the sky,
but it was debatable if
in historical times she
was the object of a
genuine cult. She was
Geb's
twin sister and, it was
said, married him
secretly and against the
will of
Ra.
Angered,
Ra
had the couple brutally
separated by
Shu
and afterwards decreed
that
Nut
could not bear a child
in any given month of
any year.
Thoth,
Plutarch tells us,
happily had pity on her.
Playing draughts with
the Moon, he won in the
course of several games
a seventy-second part of
the Moon's light with
which he composed five
new days. As these five
intercalated days did
not belong to the
official Egyptian
calendar of three
hundred and sixty days,
Nut
was thus able to give
birth successively to
five children:
Osiris,
Haroeris
(Horus),
Set,
Isis
and
Nepthys.
Another such period for
birth could have ruled
from 354 (= 12 * 29½) to 360.
11 + 14 =
25 = 5 * 5 * 5 (the cube
of 'new fire') should
correspond to the black
Ka'aba:
... It should be stated
right now that 'fire'
is actually a great
circle reaching from the
North Pole of the
celestial sphere to its
South Pole ...
There are
392 glyphs on side a of
the C tablet. By adding
11 this number
transforms to
403 (= 13 * 31,
illustrating mirror reversal):

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

Although I once decided to use
September 22 as the day for equinox, it is
undeniable that this year (A.D. 2015) the equinox
occurred in September 23. Furthermore, there is
evidence for a structure with 21 as the basic day
number for the cardinal points - excepting 23 for
the last such in September:

354 - 266
= 88. The central glyph
above is Cb1-6, which in
view of all so far
discussed probably
illustrates the idea of
'coming apart',
'separation'. According
to our Gregorian
calendar, which was
lagging behind with 4
days, ºOctober 15 (288)
was at hau tea
with Janus eyes in
Cb1-3. 288 + 4 - 27 =
265 ('September 22 and
my assumed equinox

The empty
hand in Ca14-29 (where
142 * 9 = 18 * 71)
should be contrasted
with the fist held high
in front in Cb1-10 -
meaning 'nothing as yet
counted of the new
year':
...
The practice of
turning down the
fingers, contrary to
our practice,
deserves notice, as
perhaps explaining
why sometimes
savages are reported
to be unable to
count above four.
The European holds
up one finger, which
he counts, the
native counts those
that are down and
says 'four'. Two
fingers held up, the
native counting
those that are down,
calls 'three'; and
so on until the
white man, holding
up five fingers,
gives the native
none turned down to
count. The native is
nunplussed, and the
enquirer reports
that savages can not
count above four ...
This
interpretation implies
the possibility of an 11
nights long period of
separation between the
'pair of canoes' could
have been completed with
glyph number 391
(Tagaroa Uri 15, 471) +
11 = 402. And number 7
of them would then be at
Cb1-6.
... By adding one night
out in the plain of
Muzdalifa
(Ga6-27) the total
appears to be 7 + 1 + 3
= 11 ...
Together
the pair of 'time canoes'
could then flow a
further 4 nights to the
nakshatra star Bharani, where the
split up Arab station
Al Zubānā
was
beginning, stretching
for another 11 nights.
These 4 extra nights
could have been
necessary to reach the
correct time according
to our Gregorian
calendar.
Cb1-16
corresponded to night
number 16 counted from
heliacal Polaris, when
according to theory
Polaris should once
again be visible late at
night (though not as far
south as on Easter
Island). Metoro here

Polaris (Ana-nia,

was 'out in the
sea' (according
to the Tahitian
star pillar
list). In the
calendar from
the time of
Al Sharatain
it was RA day
number 365
('March 20).
On Easter Island
the 3 stars
rising together,
Polaris, Baten
Kaitos, and
Metallah, could
have been
'personfied' by
the 3 islets
outside the
island proper:
... 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.)
