Presumably the rongorongo
writers used the Julian equinox, which arrived 4
days later than March 21 (80). Therefore we can
assume the Gregorian June 5 and December 5
corresponded to Easter Island June 1
respectively December 5.
... On the twenty-fifth day of the first month (Vaitu
Nui), Ira and Makoi set sail; on the first day of June
('Maro'), the bow of Ira's canoe appeared on the distant
horizon, came closer and closer on its course, and sailed along, and
finally (one) could see the (new home) land ... [E:17] |

... It is known
that in the final battle of the gods, the massed
legions on the side of 'order' are the dead
warriors, the 'Einherier' who once fell in combat on
earth and who have been transferred by the Valkyries
to reside with Odin in Valhalla - a theme much
rehearsed in heroic poetry. On the last day, they
issue forth to battle in martial array. Says
Grimnismal (23): 'Five hundred gates and forty
more - are in the mighty building of Walhalla -
eight hundred 'Einherier' come out of each one gate
- on the time they go out on defence against the
Wolf.' That makes 432,000 in all, a number of
significance from of old. This number must have had
a very ancient meaning, for it is also the number of
syllables in the Rigveda. But it goes back to
the basic figure 10,800, the number of stanzas in
the Rigveda (40 syllables to a stanza) [40 *
270 = 10800] which, together with 108, occurs
insistently in Indian tradition, 10,800 is also the
number which has been given by Heraclitus for the
duration of the Aiōn, according to Censorinus (De
die natali, 18), whereas Berossos made the
Babylonian Great Year to last 432,000 years. Again,
10,800 is the number of bricks of the Indian
fire-altar (Agnicayana) ... |

5 days after October 15 (288
→ 12 * 24),
Metoro once again said we should count (hia),
presumably because this was the place for
the
Prince:
... Strassmeier and Epping, in their Astronomishes aus
Babylon, say that there its stars formed the third of
the twenty-eight ecliptic constellations, -
Arku-sha-rishu-ku, literally the Back of the Head
of Ku, - which had been established along that great circle
milleniums before our era; and Lenormant quotes, as an
individual title from cuneiform inscriptions, Dil-kar,
the Proclaimer of Dawn, that Jensen reads As-kar, and
others Dil-gan, the Messenger of Light. George Smith
inferred from the tablets that it might be the Star of
the Flocks; while other Euphratean names have been Lu-lim,
or Lu-nit, the Ram's Eye; and Si-mal or
Si-mul, the Horn star, which came down even to late
astrology as the Ram's Horn. It also was Anuv,
and had its constellation's titles I-ku and I-ku-u,
- by abbreviation Ku, - the Prince, or the Leading
One, the Ram that led the heavenly flock, some of íts titles
at a different date being applied to Capella of Auriga.
Brown associates it with Aloros, the first of the ten
mythical kings of Akkad anterior to the Deluge, the duration
of whose reigns proportionately coincided with the distances
apart of the ten chief ecliptic stars beginning with Hamal,
and he deduces from this kingly title the Assyrian Ailuv,
and hence the Hebrew Ayil; the other stars
corresponding to the other mythical kings being Alcyone,
Aldebaran, Pollux, Regulus, Spica, Antares, Algenib, Deneb
Algedi, and Scheat ...
