After 10 + 2 variants of taro (presumably referring to 10 + 2
months) had been brought onboard the Royal
Double Canoe, the time had come to 'all kinds of things', beginning
with a pair of great trees (Hauhau, Mahute) producing strings etc:
... Teke said to Oti, 'Go and take the hauhau tree, the paper
mulberry tree, rushes, tavari plants, uku koko grass, riku
ferns, ngaoho plants, the toromiro tree, hiki kioe plants (Cyperus
vegetus), the sandalwood tree, harahara plants, pua nakonako
plants, nehenehe ferns, hua taru grass, poporo plants, bottle
gourds (ipu ngutu), kohe plants, kavakava atua ferns,
fragrant tuere heu grass, tureme grass (Dichelachne sciurea),
matie grass, and the two kinds of cockroaches makere and
hata.' Oti and all his assistants went and took the
hauhau tree with them. All kinds of things [te huru o te mee]
(i.e., plants) and insects [?] were taken along ...

'Bitter-taro' (Alocasia

was still cultivated in much the
same way as dry taro. It is a type
of food to be eaten during times of
famine. According to Fuentes
(1960:856), the tubers had to be
kept in the earth-oven for 15 (sic)
days in order to eliminate some of
the poisonous components. Barthel

... All this,
which in so many ways parallels the normal imagery
of the Old World culture-hero myths, telling of the
one who is gone, dwells underground in a happy,
timeless land, as lord of the realm of the happy
dead, like Osiris, but will rise again, we
can read without surprise.
But what is surprising indeed was the manner of
Quetzalcoatl's actual return. The priests and
astrologers did not know in what cycle he was to
reappear; however, the name of the year within the
cycle had been predicted, of old, by Quetzalcoatl
himself. Its sign was 'One Reed' (Ce Acatl),
which, in the Mexican calendar, is a year that
occurs only once in every cycle of fifty-two. But
the year when Cortes arrived, with his company of
fair-faced companions and his standard, the cross,
was precisely the year 'One Reed'. The myth of the
dead and resurrected god had circumnavigated the
globe ...

The Julian calendar had been 10 days ahead at the
time when Gregory XIII launched his new calendar and
then 2 more (days ahead) would have to be subtracted
if the change from the Julian to the Gregorian
calendar had happened later, when the King of Spain took
command over Easter Island in 20 November (324) AD
1770. Which means 10 + 2 number of
taro varieties could have referred not only to a
change in the number of months but also to number of
days needed to add in order to return from the Gregorian
to the Julian dates.

surprise revealed by Bauval's astronomical
calculations was this: despite the fact that some
aspects of the Great Pyramid did relate
astronomically to the Pyramid Age, the Giza
monuments as a whole were so arranged as to provide
a picture of the skies (which alter their appearance
down the ages as a result of the precession of the
equinoxes) not as they had looked in the Fourth
Dynasty around 2500 BC, but as they had looked - and
only as they had looked - around the year
10,450 BC ...
