On the back of Pachamama's head we find what I believe to be signs for the moon. In Vanaga I happened to see this explanation: Teke = occiput. And then I remembered the different explanations of Metoro regarding the maunga type of glyph. The face (mata in general Polynesian language) is like the sun, the back of the head like the moon. Day and night. Light and dark. According to Vanaga though: Mata = 1. Tribe, people; te mata tûai-era-á, the ancient tribes. 2. Eye; mata ite, eyewitness. 3. Mesh: mata kupega. 4. Raw, uncooked, unripe, green, matamata, half-cooked, half-ripe. Now to Heyerdahl 2: "Chepo's ['an old Indian named...said to be 115 or 120 years of age'] reference to the supreme chief of Qüen as Qüentique is also interesting when considered with the fact that the Easter Island name for 'chief' was recorded as teque-teque, probably tiki-tiki, by the first Spaniards who arrived in 1770. Qüen-tique could therefore well be 'chief' of the island of Qüen." Indeed I believe this is true. Tiki is Saturn, the black king ruling over death, the only possible rule for an earthly king. Life is a gift from above. Though the earthly kings try and try to be the sun. It is woman who gives birth, not the man. But he can kill. |
