The great stone statues (moai) 'walked' (he nekeneke) to their proper places, i.e. they were capable of moving as if by themselves ('automobiles') as if they had been nahe plants (nehenehe, Angiopteris evecta):

... I remember from somewhere in Heyerdahl's books that he considered it significant that neke-neke was a special word in the vocabulary of Easter Island, it meant 'walking without legs, walking by moving the weight this side and that slowly advancing forward'. He had discovered the word when he asked how the statues had been moved - they walked (neke-neke) was the answer ...

... The plant was introduced by Captain Bligh from Tahiti as a staple food for slaves and cultivated in the Castleton Gardens in 1860. From there it was able to distribute itself throughout the eastern half of the island ...

This extraordinary phenomenon could not have gone unnoticed. The creators of Manuscript E seem to have underlined the remarkable phenomenon of slowly automoving to other locations. There were double places for nehenehe in the list of things brought along by the Royal Double Canoe. And the pages numbered 68-69 were doubled - i.e. those pages which listed these 'things' (me'e).

And now, in page E:87, the stone statue depicting king Oto Uta had to be fetched (moved) from where he had been abandonded in Hiva:

... The men also (wanted to) take the figure on board the canoe (addition in parenthesis: the name of the figure was Oto Uta), but they left the figure out in the bay [i mua ana i te hanga i rehu ro ai.te moai] ... [E:73 → 365 / 5 → March 14 → 3-14 → π]

I have suggested the ariki motogi ko Oto Uta corresponded to the first of the great ancient star kings, viz. Hamal:

... Strassmeier and Epping, in their Astronomishes aus Babylon, say that there its stars formed the third of the twenty-eight ecliptic constellations, - Arku-sha-rishu-ku, literally the Back of the Head of Ku, - which had been established along that great circle milleniums before our era; and Lenormant quotes, as an individual title from cuneiform inscriptions, Dil-kar, the Proclaimer of Dawn, that Jensen reads As-kar, and others Dil-gan, the Messenger of Light. George Smith inferred from the tablets that it might be the Star of the Flocks; while other Euphratean names have been Lu-lim, or Lu-nit, the Ram's Eye; and Si-mal or Si-mul, the Horn star, which came down even to late astrology as the Ram's Horn. It also was Anuv, and had its constellation's titles I-ku and I-ku-u, - by abbreviation Ku, - the Prince, or the Leading One, the Ram that led the heavenly flock, some of íts titles at a different date being applied to Capella of Auriga. Brown associates it with Aloros, the first of the ten mythical kings of Akkad anterior to the Deluge, the duration of whose reigns proportionately coincided with the distances apart of the ten chief ecliptic stars beginning with Hamal, and he deduces from this kingly title the Assyrian Ailuv, and hence the Hebrew Ayil; the other stars corresponding to the other mythical kings being Alcyone, Aldebaran, Pollux, Regulus, Spica, Antares, Algenib, Deneb Algedi, and Scheat ...

The creators of Manuscript E probably associated Oto Uta with Hinariru:

... Hotu said to Teke [he ki.kia Teke.a Hotu], 'Where is the figure Oto Uta (corrected in the manuscript for Hina Riru)?'

... he ki.kia Teke.a Hotu.ihē te moai. (corrected to a oto from a hi(-) corrected to uta from nariru).

Page E:86 ends with the stone figure of Hina-riru and page E:87 is beginning with the stone figure of king Oto Uta. Presumably it meant Hinariru was a star preceding Hamal. The name Sabik for η Ophiuchi menas 'the Preceding One'.

Page E:86 tells about Makoi being left behind on Easter Island when the remaining 5 Explorers sailed home to Hiva. From there (Tangaroa Uri 25) to the day when king Hotu became worried about where king Oto Uta was, i.e. in Tangaroa Uri 30, there were 5 days:

... In other words, the ancient Druidic religion based on the oak-cult will be swept away by Christianity and the door - the god Llyr - will languish forgotten in the Castle of Arianrhod, the Corona Borealis. This helps us to understand the relationship at Rome of Janus and the White Goddess Cardea who is ... the Goddess of Hinges who came to Rome from Alba Longa. She was the hinge on which the year swung - the ancient Latin, not the Etruscan year - and her importance as such is recorded in the Latin adjective cardinalis - as we say in English 'of cardinal importance - which was also applied to the four main winds; for winds were considered as under the sole direction of the Great Goddess until Classical times ...

Egyptian hand Phoenician kaph Greek kappa Κ (κ)

Kaph is thought to have been derived from a pictogram of a hand (in both modern Arabic and modern Hebrew, kaph means palm/grip) ...

... The manik, with the tzab, or serpent's rattles as prefix, runs across Madrid tz. 22 , the figures in the pictures all holding the rattle; it runs across the hunting scenes of Madrid tz. 61, 62, and finally appears in all four clauses of tz. 175, the so-called 'baptism' tzolkin. It seems impossible, with all this, to avoid assigning the value of grasping or receiving. But in the final confirmation, we have the direct evidence of the signs for East and West. For the East we have the glyph Ahau-Kin, the Lord Sun, the Lord of Day; for the West we have Manik-Kin, exactly corresponding to the term Chikin, the biting or eating of the Sun, seizing it in the mouth.

  

The pictures (from Gates) show east, north, west, and south; respectively (the lower two glyphs)  'Lord' (Ahau) and 'grasp' (Manik). Manik was the 7th day sign of the 20 and Ahau the last ...

Egyptian sticks Phoenician taw Greek chi Χ (χ)
Greek tau Τ (τ)

In Plato's Timaeus, it is explained that the two bands that form the soul of the world cross each other like the letter Χ.

Roman XII = 12 → XIII = 13, with the Nose in between - and later, after the Mouth, the cycle would begin anew (I).

Chi or X is often used to abbreviate the name Christ, as in the holiday Christmas (Xmas). When fused within a single typespace with the Greek letter Rho, it is called the labarum and used to represent the person of Jesus Christ. (Wikipedia)

... tau is the 19th letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 300 ... Taw is believed to be derived from the Egyptian hieroglyph meaning 'mark' ...

Taw, Tav or Taf is the twenty-second and last letter in many Semitic abjads ... In gematria Tav represents the number 400, the largest single number that can be represented without using the Sophit forms ...

'From Aleph to Taf' describes something from beginning to end; the Hebrew equivalent of the English 'From A to Z' ...

Tav is the last letter of the Hebrew word emet, which means truth. The midrash explains that emet is made up of the first, middle, and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet (Aleph, Mem, and Tav...). Sheqer (falsehood), on the other hand, is made up of the 19th, 20th, and 21st (and penultimate) letters.

Thus, truth is all-encompassing, while falsehood is narrow and deceiving. In Jewish mythology it was the word emet that was carved into the head of the Golem which ultimately gave it life. But when the letter 'aleph' was erased from the Golem's forehead, what was left was 'met' - dead. And so the Golem died ... (Wikipedia)

... He turned round and round to the right as he fell from the sky back to the water. Still in his cradle, he floated on the sea. Then he bumped against something solid. 'Your illustrious grandfather asks you in', said a voice. The Raven saw nothing. He heard the same voice again, and then again, but still he saw nothing but water. Then he peered through the hole in his marten-skin blanket. Beside him was a grebe. 'Your illustrious grandfather asks you in', said the grebe and dived. Level with the waves beside him, the Raven discovered the top of a housepole made of stone. He untied himself from his cradle and climbed down the pole to the lowermost figure.

Hala qaattsi ttakkin-gha, a voice said: 'Come inside, my grandson.' Behind the fire, at the rear of the house, was an old man white as a gull. 'I have something to lend you', said the old man. 'I have something to tell you as well. Dii hau dang iiji: I am you.' Slender bluegreen things with wings were moving between the screens at the back of the house. Waa'asing dang iiji, said the old man again: 'That also is you.'

The old man gave the Raven two small sticks, like gambling sticks, one black, one multicoloured. He gave him instructions to bite them apart in a certain way and told him to spit the pieces at one another on the surface of the sea. The Raven climbed back up the pole, where he promptly did things backwards, just to see if something interesting would occur, and the pieces bounced apart. It may well be some bits were lost. But when he gathered  what he could and tried again - and this time followed the instructions he had been given - the pieces stuck and rumpled and grew to become the mainland and Haida Gwaii ...
