In "August 26 (Hora Iti 26) their stay at Papa O
Pea had ended:
... On the twentieth day of the month of
August ('Hora Iti') they went to Papa O Pea.
They all went and came to Papa O Pea,
looked around in Papa O Pea, and gave the name 'Papa O Pea A
Hau Maka'.
They stayed five days in Papa O Pea.
On the twenty-sixth day of the
month of August ('Hora Iti') they went from Papa O
Pea to Ahu Akapu. They all went and reached Ahu
Akapu. They looked around and gave the name 'Ahu
Akapu A Hau Maka'. They also saw (all of) Te Pito O
Te Kainga, looked around, and gave (the whole
island) the name 'Te Pito O Te Kainga A Hau Maka'.

only a little water could be drawn
from it every day and it ran dry
very soon. 2. Va'e pau,

... But in the fullness of time an
obscure instinct led the eldest of
them towards the anthill which had
been occupied by the Nummo. He wore
on his head a head-dress and to
protect him from the sun, the wooden
bowl he used for his food. He put
his two feet into the opening of the
anthill, that is of the earth's
womb, and sank in slowly as if for a
parturition a tergo. The
whole of him thus entered into the
earth, and his head itself
disappeared. But he left on the
ground, as evidence of his passage
into that world, the bowl which had
caught on the edges of the opening.
All that remained on the anthill was
the round wooden bowl, still bearing
traces of the food and the
finger-prints of its vanished owner,

Apami-Atsa ('Child of Waters',

('Grandson of Waters') ...
θ is
on the front of the garment,
below the girdle ... Moderns
have no name for it, but in the
Surya Siddhanta it was
Apami-Atsa, the Child of the
Waters ...
Apam Napat is an
eminent figure of the
Indo-Iranian pantheon. In
Hinduism, Apām Napāt is
the god of fresh water, such as
in rivers and lakes. In
Zoroastrianism, Apąm Napāt
is also a divinity of water
... Apām Napāt in
Sanskrit and Apąm Napāt
in Avestan mean 'grandson of
waters' ... Sanskrit and Avestan
napāt ('grandson') are
cognate to Latin nepōs
and English nephew, but
the name Apām Napāt
has also been compared to
Etruscan Nethuns and
Celtic Nechtan and Roman
Neptune. In Yasht 19 of
the Avesta Apąm Napāt
appears as the Creator of
mankind. Here, there is an
evident link between the glory
of sovereignty (Khvarenah)
and Apąm Napāt who
protects Khvarenah as the
royal glory of Iranian kings.
Apām Napāt is sometimes, for
example in Rigveda book 2 hymn
35 verse 3, described as a
fire-god who originates in water
... The reference to fire may
have originally referred to
flames from natural gas or oil
seepages surfacing through
water, as in a fire temple at
Surakhany near Baku in
Azerbaijan ... There is a
conjecture that the word 'naphtha'
came (via Greek, where it meant
any sort of petroleum) from the
name 'Apampat' ...

she planted her potatoes in
spring and harvested them in
autumn. She was famous all
around for her many varieties of
wonderful potatoes, and she had
enough of them to sell at the
market place. She planted her
potatoes 7 in a row, placing her
foot in front of her as a
measure from one potato to the
next. Then she marked the place
with a bean - which would also
give nourishment to the
surrounding potatoes. Next she
changed variety and planted 7
more followed by another bean,
and this was the pattern she
followed until all her 214
varieties had been put down in
their proper places. She had
drawn a map which she followed
and from where each sort of

The day following the Terminalia

doubled,
forming the 'bis sextum -
literally 'double sixth', since
February 24 was 'the sixth day
before the Kalends of March'
using Roman inclusive counting
(March 1 was the 'first day').
Although exceptions exist, the
first day of the bis sextum
(February 24) was usually
regarded as the intercalated or
'bissextile' day since the third

Mons Maenalus, at
the feet of Boötes, was
formed by Hevelius, and
published in his
Firmamentum
Sobiescianum; this
title coinciding with
those of neighboring
stellar groups bearing
Arcadian names. It is
sometimes, although
incorrectly, given as
Mons Menelaus, -
perhaps, as Smyth
suggested, after the
Alexandrian astronomer
referred to by Ptolemy
and Plutarch. The
Germans know it as the
Berg Menalus;
and the Italians as
Menalo. Landseer has
a striking
representation of the
Husbandsman, as he
styles Boötes, with
sickle and staff,
standing on this
constellation figure. A
possible explanation of
its origin
may be found in what
Hewitt writes in his
Essays on the Ruling
Races of Prehistoric
Times: The Sun-god
thence climbed up the
mother-mountain of the
Kushika race as the
constellation Hercules,
who is depicted in the
old traditional
pictorial astronomy as
climbing painfully up
the hill to reach the
constellation of the
Tortoise, now called
Lyra, and thus attain
the polar star Vega,
which was the polar star
from 10000 to 8000 B.C.
May not this modern
companion constellation,
Mons Maenalus, be from a
recollection of this
early Hindu conception
of our Hercules
transferred to the
adjacent Bootes?
A full
stop sign in the glyph
text was used at
October 10 as if to
point out where Mons
Maenalus (the
Primeval Mound) was
beginning.
