Hevelius has θ at the top of
the tail of the Southern Fish and this position should
therefore mark where 'land' was giving way to 'the sea':

The diviners (Chorti Ah K'in)
could have measured out the calendar time from April
25 to February 9 as 10 months with 29 days in each:
|
February 9 (40) |
74 |
April 25 (115) |
289 |
February 9 (405) |
|
75 =
3 * 25 |
290 = 10 * 29 |
|
365 |
But in G another
method seems to have been used,
because heliacal Sadalsud was 9
* 29 = 261days from the
beginning of the text.
Instead of 3 * 25
(cfr 325.9 at Sadalsud) the
equation could have been 365 - 261
= 4 * 26 (= 8 * 13):
|
March 21 (*0) |
260 |
December 7 (*261) |
|
104 =
4 * 26 |
261 = 9 * 29 |
|
365 |
March 25 (3-25)
was the date for spring equinox
before Gregory XIII restructured
the calendar from the Council of
Nicaea in 325 A.D.
Possibly the Easter
Islanders had a restructured
calendar due to the position
of Anates:
Instead of 325 (=
13 * 25) as the key number they
could have used 426 as the key,
with 6 * 71 referring to the Sun
(6) and to the precession (71 =
26000 / 366).
