Once again. There was a 27 day long period which seems to have been associated with a temporary death followed by rebirth. One way to interpret this phenomenon is to say that 27 = 392 - 365 corresponded to the precessional depth down from the time of rongorongo to that of Roman times when the First Point of Aries had been at 0h (in day 80 = *0).

This (and also the latitude of Easter Island) may have been in the mind of the creator of the C tablet, for the number of glyphs on side a of the tablet was 392.

However, in the G text the correlations between stars and dates seems to have been presented from the Gregorian calendar view, viz. with 60 precessional days down to the time of the Bull:

In this table I have shown how the Sirius day can be defined from the precession as visualized against the stars, and it seems plausible to assume the day of Sirius anciently had been regarded as the last day of the first half of the Sun year.

Although the day of Sirius was in Egypt defined from the return of its visibility, and 41 + 16 = 57:

 ... their separation from the sun is just beyond the minimum distance 16° that a star may be from the sun and still be visible ...

Above I have counted from the empty glyph position at the beginning of side a because this method gives more satisfactory numbers.

And then we ought to remember how the creation of our present world according to the Mayas was not *64 but *70 precessional days earlier, in the year 3112 BC: 

... In three magnificent texts at the site of Koba, scribes recorded it as one of the largest finite numbers we humans have ever written. According to these inscriptions, our world was created on the day 4 Ahaw 8 Kumk'u. On this day all the cycles of the Maya calendar above twenty years were set at thirteen - that is to say, the cycles of 400 years, 8,000 years, 160,000 years, 32,000,000 years, and so on, all the way up to a cycle number extending to twenty places (2021 * 1360-day year). 

In our calendar, this day fell on August 13, 3114 BC:

Creation of our present world:

4 Ahaw

8 Kumk'u

August 13, 3114 BC

To understand what this means, we need a little scale. The thirteens in this huge number act like the twelve in our cycles - the next hour after twelve is one. Thirteen changed to one as each of these cycles in the Maya calendar was completed, therefore, we have the following sequence:

We can recalibrate the original Mayan dates accordingly:

THE KOBA TEXT

At the time of rongorongo the stars had drifted ahead with ca 70 right ascension days:

155

Och ta chan (Hun-Nal-Ye 'entered or became the sky')

5 February (36), 3112 BC

- 24

When counting time BC we have to be careful for the year numbers are negative:

From 13 August to the end of the year 3114 BC

366 - 225 = 141

+ the year 3113 BC

141 + 365 = 507

+ from 1 January to 5 February in the year 3112 BC

507 + 36 = 543 = 3 * 181

543 - 366 = 6 * 29½ = 177

- 24 + 366 = 342 = 2 * 171 = 11 * 31 + 1

I.e., the heliacal stars at the creation of our present world had been pushed ahead by the precession to August 13 (225 = 15 * 15 = 155 + 70).

And Sirius would have risen heliacally - it would also have been extrapolated - in the day after the Water Bucket (Kerb, τ Pegasi) had been at the Full Moon:

JULY 5 6 (*107) 7 (188) 8 9

... Midsummer is the flowering season of the oak, which is the tree of endurance and triumph, and like the ash is said to 'court the lightning flash'. Its roots are believed to extend as deep underground as its branches rise in the air - Virgil mentions this - which makes it emblematic of a god whose law runs both in Heaven and in the Underworld ... The month, which takes its name from Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th and ends of July 7th. Midway comes St. John's Day, June 24th, the day on which the oak-king was sacrificially burned alive. The Celtic year was divided into two halves with the second half beginning in July, apparently after a seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in the oak-king's honour ...

... This Hercules is male leader of all orgiastic rites and has twelve archer companions, including his spear-armed twin, who is his tanist or deputy. He performs an annual green-wood marriage with a queen of the woods, a sort of Maid Marian. He is a mighty hunter and makes rain, when it is needed, by rattling an oak-club thunderously in a hollow oak and stirring a pool with an oak branch - alternatively, by rattling pebbles inside a sacred colocinth-gourd or, later, by rolling black meteoric stones inside a wooden chest - and so attracting thunderstorms by sympathetic magic ...

... The twelve merry-men rush in a wild figure-of-eight dance around the fires, singing ecstatically and tearing at the flesh with their teeth. The bloody remains are burnt in the fire, all except the genitals and the head. These are put into an alder-wood boat and floated down the river to an islet; though the head is sometimes cured with smoke and preserved for oracular use. His tanist succeeds him and reigns for the remainder of the year, when he is sacrificially killed by a new Hercules ...

... The Ash (Spear) succeeded the Oak (Club), and a way to describe this was to use the word to'a = 'murderer', in a jokingly way with the word for sugarcane (tôa). The Ash killed the Oak. ... Now to the last of the 7 'assassinators': Marikuru. ['Marikury' = Mercury] 1. A white, clayey earth. 2. A tree (Sapindus saponaria) of which very few specimens are left. Vanaga. Ash-wood T. Churchill.

... It happens that we know the Norse name of Gwydion's horse, if Gwydion was indeed Woden, or Odin. It was Askr Yggr-drasill, or Ygdrasill, 'the ash-tree that is the horse of Yggr', Yggr being one of Woden's titles. Ygdrasill was the enchanted ash, sacred to Woden, whose roots and branches in Scandinavian mythology extended through the Universe ...
