In modern western society focus is intent on division instead of multiplication - separating everything down to its atoms (and further down) in order to analyze instead of putting all together in a harmonious way. Speed and efficiency demands division of labour instead of working together. But this will make it impossible to look ahead with care. For the Polynesians it was easy, in spite of a complex map of reality they saw it clearly, because in real agriculture everything is based on cycles:

... For the Maori the past is an important and pervasive dimension of the present and future. Often referred to as the 'ever-present now', Maori social reality is perceived as though looking back in time from the past to the present. The Maori word for 'the front of' is mua and this is used as a term to describe the past, that is, Nga wa o mua or the time in front of us. Likewise, the word for the back is muri which is a term that is used for the future. Thus the past is in front of us, it is known; the future is behind us, unknown. The point of this is that our ancestors always had their backs to the future with their eyes firmly on the past. Our past is not conceived as something long ago and done with, known only as an historical fact with no contemporary relevance or meaning. In the words of a respected Maori elder: The present is a combination of the ancestors and 'their living faces' or genetic inheritors, that is the present generations. Our past is as much the face of our present and future. They live in us ... we live in them ...

Manuscript E and the rongorongo texts can therefore be properly understood only from perceiving the whole. Its parts were alive and inseparable (Piri-ere-ua) - not like the Gemini twins who were separated by the death of Castor while Pollux lived on.

... In the legends of the Polynesian Islanders, notably those of the Hervey group, the stars in the Scorpion, from the two lettered μ to λ and υ, were the Fish-hook of Maui, with which that god drew up from the depths the great island Tongareva; and the names and legend that Ellis, in his Polynesian Researches, applied to Castor and Pollux in Gemini, the Reverend Mr. W. W. Gill asserts, in his Myths and Songs of the South Pacific, belong here, and are the favorites among the story-tellers of the Hervey Islands. They make the star μ¹ a little girl, Piri-ere-ua, the Inseparable, with her smaller brother, μ², fleeing from home to the sky when ill treated by their parents, the stars λ and υ, who followed them and are still in pursuit ...

But one such description of this harmonious whole was different from every other such description, because of the various limiting areas for incising glyphs. Which caused creativity.

This explains why it is so difficult to find any point in one text which agrees completely with a point in another text. Instead we have to look at other places in the same medium; in the same rongorongo text or in the same manuscript for that matter.

The Sirius fish-hook in the G text is a good example:

**Te Piringa Aniva (94 - 106)**
4 he ruma.	5 he tuitui koviro.	6 he vitiviti.	7 he marikuru = the Ash
APRIL 29	30	*MAY 1 (41)**	2 (122)

... The brothers had no idea what Maui was up to now, as he paid out his line. Down, down it sank, and when it was at the bottom Maui lifted it slightly, and it caught on something which at once pulled very hard. Maui pulled also, and hauled in a little of his line. The canoe heeled over, and was shipping water fast. 'Let it go!' cried the frightened brothers, but Maui answered with the words that are now a proverb: 'What Maui has got in his hand he cannot throw away.' 'Let go?' he cried. 'What did I come for but to catch fish?' And he went on hauling in his line, the canoe kept taking water, and his brothers kept bailing frantically, but Maui would not let go. Now Maui's hook had caught in the barge-boards of the house of Tonganui, who lived at the bottom of that part of the sea and whose name means Great South; for it was as far to the south that the brothers had paddled from their home. And Maui knew what it was that he had caught, and while he hauled at his line he was chanting the spell that goes: O Tonganui / why do you hold so stubbornly there below? // The power of Muri's jawbone is at work on you, / you are coming, / you are caught now, / you are coming up, / appear, appear. // Shake yourself, / grandson of Tangaroa the little. The fish came near the surface then, so that Maui's line was slack for a moment, and he shouted to it not to get tangled. But then the fish plunged down again, all the way to the bottom. And Maui had to strain, and haul away again. And at the height of all this excitement his belt worked loose, and his maro fell off and he had to kick it from his feet. He had to do the rest with nothing on ...

For there is another fish-hook glyph to compare with:

... Thus was dry land fished up by Maui, which had lain beneath the sea ever since the great rains that were sent by the Sky father and the god of winds. The Maori people say that the north island of Aotearoa, which certainly is shaped much like a fish, is Te Ika a Maui; and according to some tribes the south island is the canoe from which he caught it. And his hook is the cape at Heretaunga once known as Te matau a Maui, Maui's Fishhook (Cape Kidnappers). In some of the other islands which lie across the sea towards Hawaiki, the people say that theirs is the land that Maui pulled up from below ...

From glyph number 41 (alluding to the epoch of Bharani) to glyph number 247 there were not 183 right ascension days but 183 + 23 = 206 right ascension days. The addition of 23 days is due to the precessional distance down from AD 1582 (at the Pope Gregory XIII) to Roman times. 23 * 71 (= 26000 / 365.25) = 1633 years (and 1633 - 1582 = 51 BC, which corresponded to the First Point of Aries at 0h).

In Roman times the Julian calendar integrated much of the essential earlier knowledge, and therefore it should not astound us to find Gb1-18 (→ 118 = 472 / 4) at the place where α Columbae culminated:

This was a place where one half year changed into the next, as illustrated in the Egyptian X asterism:
