Where are those supposed 75 + 75 = 150 glyphs (the difference between 1158 and 12 * 84)? Could the middle be at Pa6-46, a most peculiar glyph:
I think we see two eyes, the upper one with a smaller pupil then the lower one. The pupils are not in the centers of the eyes, more of the white in the eyes can be observed closer to the nose. The upper eye is somewhat offset to the right - presumably meaning 'look to the right'. The whole assembly of glyphs above lean slightly to the right. Counting 75 in both directions we reach: 361 - 75 = 286. 53 (a1) + 59 (a2) + 62 (a3) + 61 (a4) = 235. 286 - 235 = 51:
Pa5-51--54 indicate noon, a time of reversal (as shown by the 'fish-hook' hakaturou in Pa5-52). Maybe there is a double function in this reversal, not only for the change from a.m. to p.m. but also for a similar change from 'a.m.' to 'p.m.' in the yearly cycle of the sun? 361 + 75 = 436. 14 (a6) + 58 (a7) = 72. 75 - 72 = 3:
There is a fish hanging in Pa6-47 and also in Pa8-5, and there are 75 glyphs between them. A sun figures in Pa8-2, henua ora in Pa7-58 is marking end (at ordinal number 72) and a most peculiar glyph appears in Pa8-1. The hanging fishes are distributed 6 on each side of the tablet:
Pa6-48 (in the supposed position 2 of the 2nd half of the 150 glyphs) - together with the other two hanging fishes - maybe means we should shift one glyph to the right:
A fish-hook as number 0, a caught fish as number 75 and another one at next number 75. I have been forced to set Pa5-52 and Pa6-48 to zero, thereby moving the 2nd 75 two glyphs ahead. In Pa6-48 we recognize a fish at bottom in the middle, its head being swallowed, and we remember the similar situation at midsummer in Tahua:
On Easter Island, it seems, they 'swallowed a head' about the same time as anciently on Hawaii, but on Easter Island it apparently meant midsummer, not new year. We have now arrived at a guess as to where those 150 (or rather 152) glyphs are located:
720 beyond those 152 glyphs indicate that presumably 2 glyphs were needed for one day, in which case the glyphs from Pa8-6 to the end of the text cover a regular 360-day year. Probably Pa5-52 should be regarded as the counterpart of Pa6-48, in which case we have twice 1 + 75 = 152 = 8 * 19, presumably a measure of the domain of the sun. 1158 - 152 = 1006, not 1008, indicates that Pa5-52 and Pa6-48 (with 100 together as ordinal numbers in the line) may have a double function, also belonging to the blue structure. 286 + 2 + 720 = 1008, divided by 2 to find the number of days, would result in 504 - 360 = 144 = 12 * 12 extra days beyond the regular 360 day year. 504 / 28 = 18 'moon months', 50 % more than 12 regular solar months. But it is all based on guesswork. |
