we could expect also the other cardinal points of the
Sun to follow
suit, because we know that June 21 (Gregorian summer
solstice) belongs together with December 21 (Gregorian
winter solstice) in the same way as 'June 25 (the Julian
summer solstice) paired up with 'December 25 (the Julian
winter solstice). And the Pope had similarly changed
also the Julian date for spring equinx from day 84 to
day 80.
But whereas December 25 + 6 = December 31 we can see
that June 25 + 6 = July 1. The solution to this dilemma
should be to let the new year begin with December 31
(365 = 52 weeks + 1) instead of with January 1.

However, the Gregorian calendar was beginning with
January 1 and this strange phenomenon ('a year and a
day') could have
motivated 6 days at the beginning of the C text - as
well as at the beginning of its side b. March 21 (80) + 6 =
March 27 (86):

... Raven gazed up and down the beach. It
was pretty, but lifeless. There was no one
about to upset, or play tricks upon. Raven
sighed. He crossed his wings behind him and
strutted up and down the sand, his shiny
head cocked, his sharp eyes and ears alert
for any unusual sight or sound. The
mountains and the sea, the sky now ablaze
with the sun by day and the moon and stars
he had placed there, it was all pretty, but
lifeless. Finally Raven cried out to the
empty sky with a loud exasperated cry. And
before the echoes of his cry faded from the
shore, he heard a muffled squeak. He looked
up and down the beach for its source and saw
nothing. He strutted back and and forth,
once, twice, three times and still saw
nothing. Then he spied a flash of white in
the sand. There, half buried in the sand was
a giant clamshell. As his shadow fell upon
it, he heard another muffled squeak. Peering
down into the opening between the halves of
the shell, he saw it was full of tiny
creatures, cowering in fear at his shadow

... Nut, whom the Greeks
sometimes identified with Rhea, was goddess
of the sky, but it was debatable if in
historical times she was the object of a
genuine cult. She was Geb's twin sister and,
it was said, married him secretly and
against the will of Ra. Angered, Ra had the
couple brutally separated by Shu and
afterwards decreed that Nut could not bear a
child in any given month of any year. Thoth,
Plutarch tells us, happily had pity on her.
Playing draughts with the Moon, he won in
the course of several games a seventy-second
part of the Moon's light with which he
composed five new days. As these five
intercalated days did not belong to the
official Egyptian calendar of three hundred
and sixty days, Nut was thus able to give
birth successively to five children: Osiris,
Haroeris (Horus), Set, Isis and Nepthys ... |
... The
players all played at once, without waiting
for turns, quarreling all the while, and
fighting for the hedge-hogs; and in a very
short time the Queen was in a furious
passion, and went stamping about, and
shouting 'Off with his head!' or 'Off with
her head!' about once in a minute. Alice
began to feel very uneasy: to be sure, she
had not as yet had any dispute with the
Queen, but she knew that it might happen any
minute, 'and then', thought she, 'what would
become of me?' They're dreadfully fond of
beheading
people here: the
great wonder is, that there's any one left
alive! ... |
