10. This explains why Hanga Hoonu could be both where the fruits of Saturn (Makoi) were fired and where the Planter Kuukuu had his back broken. Ira seems to have had it all well planned:

Manuscript E has told us at what time the explorers reached Hanga Hoonu, because they stayed there for 5 days and then they went to Rangi Meamea and reached it in the 23rd day of the month of Anakena. Hardly did it take days for them to move there from Hanga Hoonu and therefore we can conclude they had reached Hanga Hoonu in day 18.

We do not know with certainty when the Anakena month was beginning, but from right ascension numbers, glyphs, and stars we can guess the creators of Manuscript E saw in their minds that 8h should be the limit of Kuukuu.

With a 'year' which is 18 months long instead of 12 it means a year which is 150% longer than a more normal year. We recognize the pattern from 471 = 150 % of 314.

And 150 % of 24h = 32h, which casts some light on the evident importance in the G text of number 32 (half the number of squares on a chess-board).

The beginning of the 531 nights long cycle of Kuukuu is obviously at the beginning of the front side, and we can insert our familiar dates:

This result is a most convincing 'proof' that the G text was designed to reflect the Gregorian calendar.

The basic idea seems to be a wish to state firmly that winter is not the end but only a midstation between the good seasons of Sun. Summer begins anew in May 26.

... 'What happens when the whole world has burned up, the gods are dead, and all of mankind is gone? You have said earlier, that each human being would go on living in this or that world.' So it is, goes the answer, there are several worlds for the good and the bad. Then Gylfi asks: 'Shall any gods be alive, and shall there be something of earth and heaven?' And the answer is:

'The earth rises up from the sea again, and is green and beautiful and things grow without sowing. Vidar and Vali are alive, for neither the sea nor the flames of Surt have hurt them and they dwell on the Eddyfield, where once stood Asgard. There come also the sons of Thor, Modi and Magni, and bring along his hammer. There come also Balder and Hoder from the other world. All sit down and converse together. They rehearse their runes and talk of events of old days. Then they find in the grass the golden tablets that the Aesir once played with.

Two children of men will also be found safe from the great flames of Surt. Their names, Lif and Lifthrasir, and they feed on the morning dew and from this human pair will come a great population which will fill the earth. And strange to say, the sun, before being devoured by Fenrir, will have borne a daughter, no less beautiful and going the same ways as her mother.'

Then, all at once, concludes Snorri's tale wryly, a thunderous cracking was heard from all sides, and when the King looked again, he found himself on the open plain and the great hall had vanished ...
