The basic structuire could have
been defined from the midnight culminations of
Sirius and Vega at opposite sides
of the year. At the time of Bharani these
events occured in the night of "January 1
respectively in the night of "July 2 (183 = 366
- 183).
In rongorongo times the midnight
culmination of Sirius occurred 8 nights beyond
21h. There could be a
suggestion of 'Land' stretching from heliacal
Tejat Prior to heliacal ν Aquarii, for 227
days (alluding to π). Hevelius appears to have
'cut off' the left forearm of Aquarius with the
tail of the Capricorn between ν and β:

... On
February 9 the Chorti Ah K'in, 'diviners', begin
the agricultural year. Both the 260-day cycle and the
solar year are used in setting dates for religious and
agricultural ceremonies, especially when those rituals
fall at the same time in both calendars. The ceremony
begins when the diviners go to a sacred spring where
they choose five stones with the proper shape and color.
These stones will mark the five positions of the sacred
cosmogram created by the ritual. When the stones are
brought back to the ceremonial house, two diviners start
the ritual by placing the stones on a table in a careful
pattern that reproduces the schematic of the universe.
At the same time, helpers under the table replace last
year's diagram with the new one. They believe that by
placing the cosmic diagram under the base of God at the
center of the world they demonstrate that God dominates
the universe.
The priests
place the stones in a very particular order. First the
stone that corresponds to the sun in the eastern,
sunrise position of summer solstice is set down; then
the stone corresponding to the western, sunset position
of the same solstice. This is followed by stones
representing the western, sunset position of the winter
solstice, then its eastern, sunrise position. Together
these four stones form a square. They sit at the four
corners of the square just as we saw in the Creation
story from the Classic period and in the Popol Vuh.
Finally, the center stone is placed to form the ancient
five-point sign modern researchers called the quincunx
...
Later on in this series of rituals, the Chorti go
through a ceremony they call raising the sky. This
ritual takes place at midnight on the twenty-fifth of
April and
continues each night until the rains arrive. In this
ceremony two diviners and their wives sit on benches so
that they occupy the
corner positions of the cosmic square. They take their
seats in the same order as the stones were placed, with
the men on the eastern side and the women on the west.
The ritual actions of sitting down and lifting upward
are done with great precision and care, because they are
directly related to the actions done by the gods at
Creation. The people represent the gods of the four
corners and the clouds that cover the earth. As they
rise from their seats, they metaphorically lift the sky.
If their lifting motion is uneven, the rains will be
irregular and harmful ...
