2. January 1 can be regarded as the time immediately after the Sun canoe has left the bay of winter solstice (December 21), this could explain the picture of a narrow 'bay' at left in Gb5-12 (a Sun-day):
With 2 cycles in a year - because Sun in the tropics will pass overhead twice - there should be curves ('bays') not only at the solstices (places where Sun can rest for a while) but also where Sun at the equinoxes is arriving to a new 'land', to a new 'bride' (no rest at these places). ... Hamiora Pio once spoke as follows to the writer: 'Friend! Let me tell of the offspring of Tangaroa-akiukiu, whose two daughters were Hine-raumati (the Summer Maid - personified form of summer) and Hine-takurua (the Winter Maid - personification of winter), both of whom where taken to wife by the sun ... If I am right, if there is a correspondence between the area where the explorers landed on Easter Island and the great curve of Hydra, then they of course had to get up from the bay:
June 10 is 11 days before winter solstice:
The Swedish word 'hem' means 'home' - the place to which one returns for the night. In Camp 5 was described how they went up from Hanga Te Pau to the crater Rano Kau:
The explorers made their landfall on the southern side of the island, on the side of Moon, whereas the Sun King (Hotu Matua) later arrived to land on the northern (sunny) side. Therefore the explorers (like the kuhane of Hau Maka) went from west to east instead of from east to west. They encountered Crater instead of Corvus when they had climbed up from Hanga Te Pau. The mythmakers could hardly have avoided connecting the Crater constellation with the major crater of the island.
This must be the place to make camp and to build a new house, the place where the yam roots should be hilled up (puo). "... since Ira's canoe does not land until the first of June, which is the beginning of the month 'Maro', the landing site has to be in the 'right' chronological sequence! Hange Te Pau lies halfway between the places [Te] Kioe Uri and [Te] Piringa Aniva, both of which are also designations for the month of June. In this sense, Hanga Te Pau occupies the correct position in the time-space scheme. Instead of turning to the right (facing the land) in their search for the residence of the king, the explorers turn in the opposite direction. From a chronological point of view, this turning to the left signifies a going back to the two winter months that have passed. Considering the conditions in the new land, building a house on the rim of the crater and establishing a yam plantation are indeed suitable activities for the new settlers." (The Eighth Land).
My planetary colours seem to work, for instance should June 7 be a day of Mars. The ariki type of glyph (Ga1-5, Ga1-13, and Ga1-24) is evidently a sign for a prominent star (a 'star pillar'). Aldebaran is the star at the end (muri), possibly indicated by the mata sign at left. Rigel is a Mars star, announcing spring ahead and maybe therefore with 3 feather signs in front (3 generates everything). Betelgeuze is a Saturn star, in charge both of the end and the beginning (with mata both at the back and in front). |
