The dream soul of the sleeping Hau Maka in Hiva looked for
Rangi Meamea as a marker for where the King should live:
... The dream soul spoke the following: 'There it
is - ho! - the place - ho! - for the king - ho! - to live (there
in the future), for this is (indeed) Rangi Meamea.'
Probably it meant the place where the Sun and
Sirius together had reached Alkes in JUNE 30:
... The Sothic cycle was based on what is
referred to in technical jargon as 'the periodic return of the
heliacal rising of Sirius', which is the first appearance of
this star after a seasonal absence, rising at dawn just ahead of
the sun in the eastern portion of the sky. In the case of Sirius
the interval between one such rising and the next amounts to
exactly 365.25 days - a mathematically harmonious figure,
uncomplicated by further decimal points, which is just twelve
minutes longer than the duration of the solar year ...

seems to be waiting for the resulting rain drops. It was the

... This [η
Carinae] is one of the most noted objects in the
heavens, perhaps even so in almost prehistoric
times, for Babylonian inscriptions seem to refer
to a star noticeable from occasional faintness
in its light, that Jensen thinks was η.
And he claims it as one of the temple stars
associated with Ea, or Ia, of Eridhu¹, the Lord
of Waters, otherwise known as Oannes², the
mysterious human fish and greatest god of the
kingdom.
¹ Eridhu, or Eri-duga, the
Holy City, Nunki, or Nunpe, one of the oldest
cities in the world, even in ancient Babylonia,
was that kingdom's flourishing port on the
Persian Gulf, but, by the encroachment of the
delta, its site is now one hundred miles inland.
In its vicinity the Babylonians located their
sacred Tree of Life.
² Berōssōs described Oannes
as the teacher of early man in all knowledge;
and in mythology he was even the creator of man
and the father of Tammuz and Ishtar, themselves
associated with other stars and sky figures.
Jensen thinks Oannes connected with the stars of
Capricorn; Lockyer finds his counterpart in the
god Chnemu of Southern Egypt; and some have
regarded him as the prototype of Noah ...

Ga4-13 (→ 413 → 14 * 29½) is glyph number 96 (→ E:96). The
resemblance with Gb2-6 (32) is obvious - it probably should
be read as an 'empty' place - i.e. there seems to have been a pair of 'voids' (with
only whispering spirits present)165 right ascension days apart:

time of the Bull. Similarly, by adding 5 days to Gb2-6
we will arrive at a glyph with a design which could be alluding to
Sirius (Te Pou, the Pillar):

... On February 9 the Chorti Ah K'in,
'diviners', begin the agricultural year.
Both the 260-day cycle and the solar year
are used in setting dates for religious and
agricultural ceremonies, especially when
those rituals fall at the same time in both
calendars. The ceremony begins when the
diviners go to a sacred spring where they
choose five stones with the proper shape and
color. These stones will mark the five
positions of the sacred cosmogram created by
the ritual. When the stones are brought back
to the ceremonial house, two diviners start
the ritual by placing the stones on a table
in a careful pattern that reproduces the
schematic of the universe. At the same time,
helpers under the table replace last year's
diagram with the new one. They believe that
by placing the cosmic diagram under the base
of God at the center of the world they
demonstrate that God dominates the universe.
The priests place the stones in a very
particular order. First the stone that
corresponds to the sun in the eastern,
sunrise position of summer solstice is set
down; then the stone corresponding to the
western, sunset position of the same
solstice. This is followed by stones
representing the western, sunset position of
the winter solstice, then its eastern,
sunrise position. Together these four stones
form a square. They sit at the four corners
of the square just as we saw in the Creation
story from the Classic period and in the
Popol Vuh. Finally, the center stone is
placed to form the ancient five-point sign
modern researchers called the quincunx ...
... In
the inscriptions of Dendera, published by
Dümichen, the goddess Hathor is
called 'lady of every joy'. For once,
Dümichen adds: Literally ... 'the lady of
every heart circuit'. This is not to say
that the Egyptians had discovered the
circulation of the blood. But the
determinative sign for 'heart' often figures
as the plumb bob at the end of a plumb line
coming from a well-known astronomical or
surveying device, the merkhet.
Evidently, 'heart' is something very
specific, as it were the 'center of gravity'
...
See Aeg.Wb. 2, pp.
55f. for sign of the heart (ib) as
expressing generally 'the middle, the
center'.
And this
may lead in quite another direction. The
Arabs preserved a name for Canopus - besides
calling the star Kalb at-tai-man
('heart of the south') ... Suhail el-wezn,
'Canopus Ponderosus', the heavy-weighing
Canopus, a name promptly declared
meaningless by the experts, but which could
well have belonged to an archaic system in
which Canopus was the weight at the end
of the plumb line, as
befitted its important position as a heavy
star at the South Pole of the 'waters
below'. Here is a chain of inferences which
might or might not be valid, but it is
allowable to test it, and no inference at
all would come from the 'lady of every joy'.
The line seems to state that Hathor
(= Hat Hor, 'House of Horus')
'rules' the revolution of a specific
celestial body - whether or not Canopus is
alluded to - or, if we can trust the
translation 'every', the revolution of all
celestial bodies. As concerns the identity
of the ruling lady, the greater possibility
speaks for Sirius, but Venus cannot be
excluded; in Mexico, too, Venus is called
'heart of the earth'. The reader is invited
to imagine for himself what many thousands
of such pseudo-primitive or poetic
interpretations must lead to: a disfigured
interpretation of Egyptian intellectual life

At the time of rongorongo
Sirius stood like a pillar at day zero in
June 30, 181 (*101), and 101 days later came
Spica in October 9, 282 (*202). The flag of
Brazil has uplifted Spica with a little dot
far down marking Dramasa (σ
Octantis, the South Pole star). In between
we can perceive the Southern Cross, and
between Spica and the Southern Cross is the
Tail of the Hydra (γ
Hydrae, Al Dhanab al Shuja) - in the
day before Spica but below the curved band.
To the right is the Scorpion with Antares
placed at the opposite side compared to
Procyon (α Canis
Minoris), below O in ORDEM. Alphard (α
Hydrae) is below M. Sirius and 4 more stars
in Canis Major are noted below Alphard,
together with Canopus. In addition to 8
stars in the Scorpion we can also see 3 more
stars to the left which mark the Southern
Triangle (Triangulum Australe).
Altogether there are 26 + 1 = 27 stars:
... They stayed (there longer). On the fifth
day of the month of July (Anakena)
[day 186 + 41 = 227], they all got up, went
downhill, went on, and reached Hanga Te
Pau. They took their provisions with
them, carrying them on their shoulders, went
on, and reached Te Pou. They made
camp and slept in Te Pou on the tenth
of the month of July (Anakena). Then
they all got up, carried their provision on
their shoulders, went straight ahead, and
followed the path of the dream soul of
Hau Maka. They came to Hua Reva
and said, This is Hua Reva A Hau Maka!... |

Beyond Sirius and Alkes in JUNE 30 was Oromanga,
the residence of the King:
... The name of the residence (maara noho) of
the king, of Hotu, was Oromanga. The name of the
place where the roof of the house had been covered
[hidden, kona] by Nuku Kehu was Hare Topa
(sic!) Tuu. [E:91]
... After all the food supplies had been brought on
land [i oti era te kai te too mai ki uta],
the two rulers [te ariki arurua], the king
and the queen said, 'Drag the canoes on land and
take them apart (so the wood can be used) to build
houses and cover the roofs!' They dragged the two
canoes on land and took them apart. After they had
finished disassembling the canoes, Nuku covered all
the houses [E:84]
