To repeat: The Explorers had rested for a week (etahi pohitu) in Hanga Takaure and then they had left 'the Bay of Flies' in Te Anakena 18. They had slept at Te Pou in Te Anakena 10 and therefore we can find this week between Regulus at the Full Moon and JUNE 25 at the Full Moon:

North of the equator the central day in this week was where Castor (the Beaver) culminated (at 21h), viz. when at the time of the Bull the Sun had reached the Lizard (Lacerta) at the winter solstice. On Easter Island the corresponding day was Te Anakena 14, when the Sun was at the Ghost of Jupiter (NGC3242).

... Al Sa'd al Ahbiyah ... has been interpreted the Lucky Star of Hidden Things or Hiding-places, because when it emerged from the sun's rays all hidden worms and reptiles, buried during the preceding cold, creep out of their holes!

 

ST JOHN'S DAY JUNE 25 26 (177) 27

p Carinae (159.3) φ Hydrae (160.3) no star listed (161) VATHORZ POSTERIOR = θ Carinae (162.1), PEREGRINI = μ Velorum, η Carinae (162.6)

... This [η Carinae] is one of the most noted objects in the heavens, perhaps even so in almost prehistoric times, for Babylonian inscriptions seem to refer to a star noticeable from occasional faintness in its light, that Jensen thinks was η. And he claims it as one of the temple stars associated with Ea, or Ia, of Eridhu¹, the Lord of Waters, otherwise known as Oannes², the mysterious human fish and greatest god of the kingdom.

¹ Eridhu, or Eri-duga, the Holy City, Nunki, or Nunpe, one of the oldest cities in the world, even in ancient Babylonia, was that kingdom's flourishing port on the Persian Gulf, but, by the encroachment of the delta, its site is now one hundred miles inland. In its vicinity the Babylonians located their sacred Tree of Life.

² Berōssōs described Oannes as the teacher of early man in all knowledge; and in mythology he was even the creator of man and the father of Tammuz and Ishtar, themselves associated with other stars and sky figures. Jensen thinks Oannes connected with the stars of Capricorn; Lockyer finds his counterpart in the god Chnemu of Southern Egypt; and some have regarded him as the prototype of Noah ...
