Having stamped 5 days as the proper measure to be used ahead from the
cardinal points of the Sun we can guess this measure was used in order to dissect
the odd period of 37 days for the Sea journey of the
Explorers into 5 + 32.
Cursa ('76) + *5 = *81 (→ a leap year should have had March 21 as day 81).
Tthis was
immediately before
the beginning of Tau-toru (the 3 'stones' = stars)
constituting the
Belt of Orion.
Furthermore, March 21 (80) + *76 = 156 (= 2 * 78 = 13 * 12) and 156 + 5 =
161 (June 10) = 193 (Castor) - 32:

... The
ordinary year in the
previous Roman calendar
consisted of 12 months,
for a total of 355 days.
In addition, a 27-day
intercalary month, the
Mensis Intercalaris,
was sometimes inserted
between February and
March. This intercalary
month was formed by
inserting 22 days after
the first 23 or 24 days
of February; the last
five days of February,
which counted down
toward the start of
March, became the last
five days of
Intercalaris. The net
effect was to add 22 or
23 days to the year,
forming an intercalary
year of 377 or 378 days

... Behind me, towering almost 100 feet into the air, was a perfect ziggurat, the Temple of Kukulkan. Its four stairways had 91 steps each. Taken together with the top platform, which counted as a further step, the total was 365. This gave the number of complete days in a solar year. In addition, the geometric design and orientation of the ancient structure had been calibrated with Swiss-watch precision to achieve an objective as dramatic as it was esoteric: on the spring and autumn equinoxes, regular as clockwork, triangular patterns of light and shadow combined to create the illusion of a giant serpent undulating on the northern staircase ...

Menkaure was allegedly a
much more benevolent Pharaoh
than his predecessors.
According to legends related
by Herodotus, he wrote the
following: This Prince (Mycerinus)
disapproved of the conduct
of his father, reopened the
temples and allowed the
people, who were ground down
to the lowest point of
misery, to return to their
occupations and to resume
the practice of sacrifice.
His justice in the decision
of causes was beyond that of
all the former kings. The
Egyptians praise him in this
respect more highly than any
other monarchs, declaring
that he not only gave his
judgements with fairness,
but also, when anyone was
dissatisfied with his
sentence, made compensation
to him out of his own purse
and thus pacified his anger.
The Gods
however ordained that Egypt
should suffer tyrannical
rulers for a hundred and
fifty [150] years according
to this legend. Herodotus
goes on: ... An oracle
reached him from the town of
Buto, which said 'six
years only shalt thou live
upon this earth, and in the
seventh thou shalt end thy
days'. Mycerinus,
indignant, sent an angry
message to the oracle,
reproaching the god with his
injustice - 'My father and
uncle,' he said 'though they
shut up the temples, took no
thought of the gods and
destroyed multitudes of men,
nevertheless enjoyed a long
life; I, who am pious, am to
die soon!' There came in
reply a second message from
the oracle - 'for this very
reason is thy life brought
so quickly to a close - thou
hast not done as it behoved
thee. Egypt was fated to
suffer affliction one
hundred and fifty years -
the two kings who preceded
thee upon the throne
understood this - thou hast
not understood it'.
Mycerinus, when this
answer reached him,
perceiving that his doom was
fixed, had lamps prepared,
which he lighted every day
at eventime, and feasted and
enjoyed himself unceasingly
both day and night, moving
about in the marsh-country
and the woods, and visiting
all the places he heard were
agreeable sojourns. His wish
was to prove the oracle
false, by turning night into
days and so living twelve
years in the space of six

... the first month of the
Moriori year, was named Rongo (Lono).
On the first of the new year the Moriori
launched a small canoe to Rongo, although
they built and used only rude craft for their
fishing excursions. The canoe was manned by
twelve figures symbolizing the personifications
of the twelve months. Sometimes twenty-four
figures were placed in the canoe, and Skinner
interprets the additional twelve as representing
the female counterparts of the months. As an old
Maori once remarked. 'Everything has its female
counterpart ...

is a pair of light timbers pointed at the ends

one in front, the other behind the line of
posts; rolls of mats and bales of sennit may be
laid across these timbers; baskets or reserved
victuals may be hung on the ends. The litter and
the barrow are two light poles with small slats
lashed across at intervals. The Marquesan
fata is a
stout stem of a sapling with the stumps of
several branches, a hat tree in shape, though
found among a barehead folk. These illustrations
are sufficient to show what is the common
element in all these fata
identifications, light cross-pieces spaced at
intervals. With this for a primal signifaction
it is easy to see how a ladder, a raft, a
henroost, an altar come under the same stem for
designation. Perhaps Samoan fatafata
the breast obtains the name by reason of the
ribs; it would be convincing were it not that
the plumpness of most Samoans leaves the ribs a
matter of anatomical inference. Churchill 2.
... Teke said to Oti, 'Go and take
the hauhau tree, the paper mulberry tree,
rushes, tavari plants, uku koko
grass, riku ferns, ngaoho plants,
the toromiro tree, hiki kioe
plants (Cyperus vegetus), the sandalwood
tree, harahara plants, pua nakonako
plants, nehenehe ferns, hua taru
grass, poporo plants, bottle gourds (ipu
ngutu), kohe plants, kavakava atua
ferns, fragrant tuere heu grass,
tureme grass (Diochelachne sciurea),
matie grass, and the two kinds of
cockroaches makere and hata.'
... The division into quarters of a
28-series can be applied to the main phases of
the moon during the visible period as was as to
a (reflex of the old world?) sidereal month.
The separate subgroup (29 makere -
30 hata) consists of the names of two
types of cockroaches, but in related eastern
Polynesian languages these names can also be
explained on a different level. MAO. makere,
among others, 'to die', and whata, among
others, 'to be laid to rest on a platform',
deserve special attention.
The theme hinted at is one of death and
burial. In our scheme they occur at just that
time when the moon 'has died'! This lends
further support to the lunar thesis.

buli, 'to form', refers in Fijian
