With 13 heavenly locations presented in Kelley, I must document them. The structure probably contains some information of value for interpreting the rongorongo calendars.

"Since the Aztecs had concepts of thirteen heavens, and other Mesoamerican groups may have believed in nine or ten heavens, with nine underworlds, it is reasonable to suspect that these concepts are involved in some of the place names associated deities ...

Figure 35 shows the Rain God in thirteen different localities from Dresden pages 65c-69c [65b-69b evidently]. The glyphs for the localities were first identified as such by Cyrus Thomas, who wrote:

Comparing the second character (b) of each group with that upon which the god is seated or standing, we find sufficient evidence to satisfy us that this symbol is the one which is used throughout to indicate this object. For example, the second symbol in the group of Plate 69 (Fig. 35, no. 13) is an exact copy of the object on which the deity is seated ...

The clew was not followed up in print until 1953, when Barthel tried to show that these glyphs were, in fact, the glyphs of the thirteen heavens." (Kelley)

From the glyphs in Gates it is clear that the Rain God is sitting in the 15th position of the 20 days, viz. at 14 Men - the first position 0 (the egg), not 1, we must remember. Men is (according to Gates) 'Bird, Eagle, Wise One':

If gods move - change residences (like the Easter Island kings) - it becomes harder to sort them out (kings and residences). If the Rain God moves all around the 13 'heavens', it means he must move around the ecliptic and that he is a planet.

The 13th heaven is evidently connected with Eagle, and the Eagle is not a god but a location in time. There are two possible bird constellations, viz. in Cancer or in Aries:

The Cox bird (if that it is) seems to be a kind of pheasant, and it can therefore not be the 13th heaven. Number 11 is of course possible, because of the question marks, and we are left with three alternatives:

All are red of course - the Eagle must fly high above (which the pheasant is unable to do). I have now changed the dates at right one month forward in time because of the precession so that for instance Aquarius now is close to vernal equinox. Not only the moon but also the equinoxes and solstices move backwards, a sign that moon is connected with the cardinal time points.

The Mayan new year was beginning early in February and '11 ??' could once have been a cardinal point if a calendar phase was meant (which I doubt). Nowadays the constellation has moved beyond the beginning of the year. If winter solstice (not a calendar phase) was the residence named Eagle, then the 11th constellation will not be a possible alternative.

Aries is the bringer of light and Cancer is an old fire generator ('turtle'). They are a quarter apart, and both half-years (summer respectively the 2nd half of the year) may have needed new light at their proper times.

Beyond Men (in the list of 20 day names) comes Cib (the autumn owl), followed by Caban (earth, movement). Therefore Men should be in the middle of summer, and we arrive at Cancer as the solution. The Eagle is Cancer and also the 13th heaven, that is an educated guess. At high summer the sun bird is high up in the sky.

For our Cancer there are two alternative Mayan constellations: 1. Eagle, and 2. Skeleton - or Skull which I prefer for obvious reasons, it is 'pruning time'. The 'skull place' is the place where the eagle lays her eggs, I think.
