The Sun changed direction from moving up to going down ('changed his sex'), not at the solstice ("June 21), and not where he was letting his water (in "July 27 → 22 / 7 → π), but at Denebola in "August 5. This is where he turned around (Al Sarfah).

The tail of the Puma (Leo) was where a pair of rivers flowed together, we can see above in the map over Cuzco. Moreover, the area of his tail was named Pumaq Chupan.

Tupa. Ancient buildings found scattered along the coast; made of stone, and almost all of them round, they served as shelters for fishermen. Tupatupa, to carry (someone) on a stretcher; to carry (a load) with the help of several people. Vanaga.1. Land crab. PS Mgv.: tutupa, a large crayfish. Mq., Ta.: tupa, land crab. Sa., To., Fu.: tupa, a land crab with large claws. 2. Mixture, to carry, tupatupa, to bring in one dead or wounded. Tupapaku, corpse. T Pau.: tupapaku, corpse, ghost. Mgv.: tupapaku, corpse, sick person. Mq.: tupapaku, tupapaú, id. Ta.: tupapau, corpse, ghost, specter. Churchill. KUPA, v. Haw., to dig out, hollow out, as a canoe or a trench; kupa-paku, a place deep down in the ground. Tah., tupa, to dig out, hollow out, scoop out. Fiji., cuva, to stoop, bow down.Mal., kubur, grave, tomb. Sunda., tumbuk, a hook, a staple. Sanskr., kûpa, a well, a pit.; kûpa-kara, a well-digger; kub-ja, humpbacked, crooked; kumbha, a pot, jar. Benfey (Sanskr. Dict.) refers the two latter to a lost verb kubh, with an original signification of 'to be crooked'. He offers no etymon, however, for kûpa, well, pit. The Polynesians reconcile the two. The Sanskrit kûpa finds its kindred in the Hawaiian and Tahitian kupa, and the Sanskrit kumbha, ku-ja, and kubh, with a primary sense of 'crooked', refer themselves to the Fijian cuva, 'to stoop, low down', a sense now lost within the Polynesian dialects proper. Pers., kuftan, kaftan, to dig, cleave; kuft, kâf, fissure. Armen., kup, pit, cistern. Greek, κυπτω, to bend forward, to stoop down; κυφος, humpbacked; κυμβη, a cup, a boat, a wallet; σκυφος, a cup; κυψελη, any hollow vessel. Lat., cubo, lie, recline: concumbo, incumbo; cupa, a vat, cask. Goth., kumbjan, lie down, recline; hups, the hips, loins. A.-Sax., cop, a hollow vessel, cup. Anc. Slav., kâpona, a goblet.  Russ., kopati, to dig; a cistern. Welsh, cwb or cwpan, a hollow place, kennel or cote. Gael., tubag, tub. Fornander. Compare also the type of structure, mainly in the Lake Titicaca basin area, called chullpa and Easter Island's tupa, both apparently built as 'adoratorios', in which mummies, skeletons, and skulls were displayed and worshipped … where tupa would be the expected Polynesian revaluation of chullpa. Schumacher.

... Hotu stayed [he noho] in Hare Tupa Tuu. The servant (tuura) of Tuu Maheke, namely Rovi [te tuura.o Tuu maheke.ko Rovi], prepared the food for Tuu Maheke [he hangai i a Tuu maheke]. Tuu Maheke stayed in Hare Tupa Tuu because of this servant, Rovi. The earth-oven, the lighting of fire (tumuteka; emulation te umu te ka), and the cooking (te tao) were the responsibilities of Rovi.When it was time to place (the food) into the earth-oven, to take out (the prepared food), and to take (the meal into the house) to the king, to Tuu Maheke, only Rovi was allowed to be there. He alone could supply the king, Tuu Maheke, with food ... [E:92]

We have established a probable correlation between the Nose of the Lion (the Puma) and "June 29 (180 = *100 as in E:100) and E:92 should then point at right ascension day 92 (at the time of Bharani) - which if correct will be perceived to be as in a map over the region just before Leo:

The Mayas (like Hevelius, the Arabs, and probably also the Incas) saw time running from right to left. Leo was going down towards Virgo. He was not heading towards her but 'tailing' towards her.

Chimalman (alias Chalchiuhtlicue or Chalchihuitzli) in the picture above seems to have personified a great stream of water, presumably the Milky Way River, and there was a swimmer who evidently 'changed his sex' midstreams, presumably to female (like the morning star Venus). We can guess he became Citlallatonac:

... the great high priest and monarch of the Golden Age in the Toltec city of Tula, the City of the Sun, in ancient Mexico, whose name, Quetzalcoatl, has been read to mean both 'the Feathered Serpent' and 'the Admirable Twin', and who was fair of face and white of beard, was the teacher of the arts to the people of pre-Columbian America, originator of the calendar, and their giver of maize. His virgin mother, Chimalman - the legend tells - had been one of the three sisters to whom God, the All-Father, had appeared one day under his form of Citlallatonac, 'the morning'. The other two had been struck by fright, but upon Chimalman God breathed and she conceived. She died, however, giving birth, and is now in heaven, where she is revered under the honourable name of 'the Precious Stone of Sacrifice', ChalchihuitzliQuetzalcoatl, her child, who is known both as the Son of the Lord of the High Heavens and as the Son of the Lord of the Seven Caves, was endowed at birth with speech, all knowledge, and all wisdom, and in later life, as priest-king, was of such purity of character that his realm flourished gloriously throughout the period of his reign. His temple-palace was composed of four radiant apartments: one toward the east, yellow with gold; one towards the west, blue with turquoise and jade; one toward the south, white with pearls and shells; one towards the north, red with bloodstones - symbolizing the cardinal quarters of the world over which the light of the sun holds sway ...
