And then, from the fact that Antares was rising with the Sun in day 329 (according to the time-frame of rongorongo) we can see that we have to move 329 (November 25) - 288 = 41 precessional right ascension days back into ancient times in order to find the date te angahuru marima o te raa.o tangaroa uri ("October 15). Because on Easter Island the 10th month was Tagaroa uri and this month meant October.

... The ancient names of the month were: Tua haro, Tehetu'upú, Tarahao, Vaitu nui, Vaitu potu, He Maro, He Anakena, Hora iti, Hora nui, Tagaroa uri, Ko Ruti, Ko Koró.

... On the fifteenth day of the month of October (tangaroa uri), Nonoma left the house [he ea mai roto i te hare] during the night [i te po] to urinate outdoors [ki kaho.mimi]. At this point Ira called out [he rangi] to Nonoma, 'Look at the canoe!' Nonoma ran [he tahuti], he quickly went to Te Hiringa Heru (a ravine in the side of the crater Rano Kau) and looked around. There he saw the double canoe way out near the (offshore) islets [i te motu o haho], and the two (hulls of the canoe) were lashed together. He ran and returned [he tahuti he hoki] to the front of the house [ki te mua ki te hare]. He arrived and called [he tuu he rangi] into the house [a roto i te hare], 'Hey you! This canoe has arrived during the night without our noticing it!' [E:75]

Thus the time-frame of Manuscript E was that of Bharani (*41 = 329 - 288):

From my suggestion that king Oto Uta was a name for Hamal it here becomes understandable why king Hotu A Matua might have been worried about the image - 'stone figure', moai maea - of this his primary ancestor (who had been left out in the water of the bay of Hanga Moria One in Hiva), for 'dry land' could not arrive until Bharani rose with the Sun (at the beginning of the Sun calendar).

... Hotu said [he ki a Hotu] to Pure O [Ō], to Pure Ki, and to Pure Vanangananga: 'You fellows (kope), sail [ko oho.korua ko nga kope] to the friend (hoou), to Oto Uta. Bring him here [ka too mai], he who is resting out there in the bay [i mua.i te hanga]. Move him carefully (? nee), you fellows, so that the king, that Oto Uta is not damaged!' [E:87]

Lots of circumstantial evidence support my interpretation. For instance: 288 = 2 * 144 = 3 * 96 = 4 * 72 = 6 * 48 = 8 * 36 = 12 * 24 = 16 * 18. When the Pope Gregory XIII launched his updated version of the Julian calendar also he had chosen day number 288:

... The Julian calendar day Thursday, 4 October 1582 was followed by the first day of the Gregorian calendar, Friday, 15 October 1582 (the cycle of weekdays was not affected) ...

Extrapolating beyond Dramasa at the south pole we will find the Chinese Rooftop (at the Lucky King Sadalmelik) 14 days later:

... Originally the highly born family of the Sun, Moon, and stars dwelt in a cave on the summit of Maunga-nui, Great Mountain, in the ancient homeland. They were not at all comfortable in their gloomy home for they could not see distinctly and their eyes watered constantly ... ... When it was evident that the years lay ready to burst into life, everyone took hold of them, so that once more would start forth - once again - another (period of) fifty-two years. Then (the two cycles) might proceed to reach one hundred and four years. It was called 'One Age' when twice they had made the round, when twice the times of binding the years had come together. Behold what was done when the years were bound - when was reached the time when they were to draw the new fire, when now its count was accomplished. First they put out fires everywhere in the country round. And the statues, hewn in either wood or stone, kept in each man's home and regarded as gods, were all cast into the water. Also (were) these (cast away) - the pestles and the (three) hearth stones (upon which the cooking pots rested); and everywhere there was much sweeping - there was sweeping very clear. Rubbish was thrown out; none lay in any of the houses ... ... It must be admitted, however, that the task of raising the sky was not always a long and arduous one. In the New Hebrides of Melanesia the sky was formerly so low overhead that a woman who was pounding roots in a mortar happened to strike the sky with her pestle. Greatly annoyed at the interruption she looked up and cried angrily, 'Go on up higher!' Whereat the sky meekly obeyed her. What actually happened probably was that the woman struck the low house roof with her pestle and cried angrily to her husband, 'If you don't raise that roof higher, I won't cook you another meal!' thus giving a strong impuls to the development of the science of architecture ...
