The
September equinox around
76 B.C. (at the time of
Al Sharatain) was
evidently in Cb1-3 illustrated by
a great hau tea
with Janus eyes. Below I
have freely mixed the G
and C texts. It is,
though, easy to perceive
the flow of time by
following the stars:

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. |

The
September equinox is
where north of the
equator the Sun leaves
and south of the equator
the September equinox is
where he arrives. Hamal
(α)
is the head star of
Aries and in rongorongo
times Hamal rose with
the Sun at 2h. But I
have blackmarked those
stars which north of the
equator rose with the
Sun in spring. On Easter
Island these stars could
be observed close to the
Full Moon in the
southern autumn.
Instead I have
bluemarked those stars
which were close to the
Full Moon in the
southern spring. It
remains to be seen
whether this pattern is
true on both sides of
the tablets and through
all the rongorongo
texts:

The
Chinese Hairy
Head could
represent the back
side of the old year
(perhaps at
Alcyone). By shaving
the head its hair
becomes separated,
not contaminating
the newborn baby,
instead remaining
spread out on the
ground (tuku).
...
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
...
There
were 55 - 25 = 30
days from Nga Kope
Ririva A Taanga to
Tau-Ono.
To the tukuga
place (Cb2-6) - where
a 'shaving' seems to
have taken place - there were 31
days.

The path
of the spider (ke
alanui a ke ku'uku'u), should
refer to the place where
the Sun once moved
across the line of the
equinox. But this was
quite a long time ago. 56 * 71 =
3976, i.e. around 3976 -
1842 - 1 = ca 2133 B.C.
Although the time of
measurement could have
been different, with the
first reappearance of
the star (after having
been invisible close to
the Sun) as its
'heliacal' date. 56 - 16
= 40 and 40 * 71 = 2840,
i.e. around 2840 - 1842
- 1 = ca 997 B.C.
