TRANSLATIONS
Only internal
parallel 2 remains, before I should write a summary
page:
I have change
at little at the end of the text and then added the last
part, which proved to be important. If years can be
counted not only by the sun and the moon but also by
Venus, then of course the text must be complicated.
We have earlier identified what presumably is a parallel
between the Mayan 'make-up' of the Venus periods and the
text of G. Commenting upon Hua Reva in the glyph
dictionary (at Haati):
|
Reva
indicates the upper regions:
|
Reva
To hang down;
flag, banner. Revareva,
1. To be hanging vertically; to
detach oneself from the
background of the landscape,
such a person standing on top of
a hill: ku-revareva-á te
tagata i ruga i te maúga. 2.
To cast itself, to project
itself (of shadows);
revareva-á te kohu o te miro i
te maeha o te mahina, the
shadow of the tree casts itself
in the light of the moon. 3.
Uvula. Vanaga.
To hang, to
suspend, flag, banner;
hakareva, to hang up;
hakarereva, to hang up, to
balance; hakarevareva, to
wave. T Pau.: reva, a
flag; fakarevareva, to
hang up, to suspend. Mgv.:
reva, a flag, a signal. Mq.:
éva, to hang up, to be
suspended, to wave a signal.
Ta.: reva, a flag,
banner; revareva, to
wave. The germ sense is that of
being suspended ... any light
object hung up in the island air
under the steady tradewind will
flutter; therefore the
specification involved in the
wave sense is no more than
normal observation. Churchill.
Mgv.: 1. A
plant. Ta.: reva, id.
Mq.: eva, id. Sa.:
leva, id. Ma.: rewa-rewa,

the air, atmosphere, the visible
heavens. Churchill. |

observed in the

If
dev
or
div
has derived the
sense of
'throwing dice'
from an older
sense 'jacere,
jaculare', to
throw, to hurl,
that sense may
be a derivative
from a still
older one, 'to
lift up, swing
about, be
suspended' = the
Polynesian
lewa,
rewa,
'to be
suspended, to
vibrate'. And
thus we can also
understand the
origin of the

The basic idea is that the sky 'fish'
(moon, sun etc) is ready to be lifted up
from the watery region (which for the sun
comes at Te Pei). The Maya indians
are helpful by their 'adaptation' of the
phases of Venus:
|

Te Pei at 8 * 29.5 = 236 is the
last day of the first half (472 / 2 =
236), the 'morning', of the year, and
then it turns around:
 |
 |
|
Gb1-6 (236) |
Gb1-7 |
Sun is being 'driven out, banished' (pei)
from the island and he becomes a 'tasty
fish' (pe'i) which can be caught
in the 'deep waters'. Down there it is
completely black.
A quarter later it is time to take him
up again. The cycle cannot stop. He will
become an 'evening star'. 236 + 90 = 326
or close to Akahanga at 11 * 29.5
= 324.5. The spirit of the sun goes up
into the night sky already at Hua
Reva, his body is then buried at
Akahanga.
But his skull is taken care of
separately, in order to be completely
dried out and later hanged high in the
daytime sky again:
...
Ure Honu was amazed and said,
'How beautiful you are! In the head of
the new bananas is a skull, painted with
yellow root and with a strip of
barkcloth around it.'
Ure Honu
stayed for a while, (then) he went away
and covered the roof of his house in
Vai Matā. It was a new house. He
took the very large skull, which he had
found at the head of the banana
plantation, and hung it up in the new
house. He tied it up in the framework of
the roof (hahanga) and left it
hanging there ...
|
The
equation 260 + 324 = 584 we have also observed (324
also happens to be the distance from kake manu
in Ab5-17 to the end of side b):
... However,
there is another solution. 324 we identified as the
difference between 670 and the sum of 86 and 260:
|
47 |
 |
37 |
 |
323 |
 |
260 |
|
Aa1-48 |
Aa1-86 |
Aa5-77 (410) |
|
86 |
324 = 9 * 36 |
|
441 |
 |
167 |
 |
52 |
 |
1 |
|
Ab6-38 (1112) |
Ab8-30 (1280) |
Ab8-83 (1333) |
|
442 |
168 = 6 * 28 |
54 |
By removing 4 from 324 we reached 10
* 32 = 320 by way of increasing 86 to 90:
|
side a |
|
89 |
 |
319 |
|
260 |
|
Aa1-90 |
Aa5-77 (410) |
|
90 |
320 = 10 * 32 |
|
670 |
The earlier 54 + 86 = 140 glyphs
which connects side b with side a were by this
operation put out of focus. But they still remain
and we must try to look with a double focus. There
is a nice equation 1334 = 324 + (140 + 260) + (442 +
168) = 324 + 400 + 610 which makes a cycle by
connecting side a with side b.
And then we should realize that 324 =
18 * 18, an important fact. 1334 = 18 * 18 + 4 * 100
+ 10 * 61. Expressed in days: 667 = 9 * 18 + 4 * 50
+ 5 * 61 = 162 + 200 + 305. The last term suggests
10 months with 30½ day in each:
|
441 |
|
167 |
|
52 |
|
1 |
85 |
|
|
Ab6-38 (1112) |
Ab8-30 (1280) |
Ab8-83 (1333) |
Aa1-86 (1420) |
|
305 = 10 * 30½ |
70 = 10 * 7 |
|
323 |
|
260 |
|
Aa5-77 (410) |
|
584 = 8 * 73 |
|
292 = 192 + 100 |
305 + 70 = 375 = 15 *
25, suggests 1334 = 584 + 750:
|
 |
440 |
|
167 |
|
52 |
|
1 |
85 |
|
|
Ab1-1 |
Ab6-38 (1112) |
Ab8-30 (1280) |
Ab8-83 (1333) |
Aa1-86 (1420) |
|
750 |
If we rework the
solution for side a, by integrating 324, it will
become:
|
side a |
|
89 |
|
319 |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
256 |
|
Aa1-90 |
Aa5-77 |
Aa5-78 |
Aa5-79 |
Aa5-80 |
Aa5-81 (414) |
|
90 |
324 = 18 * 18 |
|
670 |
Much
evidence suggest this is a 'true' solution
(in addition to e.g. the one above mapping
both side a and side b together in one
cycle). When I once divided the text into
units I broke off after Aa5-81 because there
is a internal parallel on side b (Ab7-79 --
Ab8-23) to the 14 glyph long sequence
beginning with Aa5-68 and ending with
Aa5-81:
|
 |
  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Aa5-68 (401) |
Aa5-69 |
Aa5-70 |
Aa5-71 |
Aa5-72 (405) |
|
 |
 |
|
|
Aa5-73 |
Aa5-76 |
Aa5-77 (410) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Aa5-78 |
Aa5-79 |
Aa5-80 |
Aa5-81 (414) |
Etc., etc. And then we have also
worked with 584 in the text of G:
... We
have not ventured beyond 496 (= 486 + 10)
earlier. Let us have a look at glyph number
500:
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Ga1-20 |
Ga1-21 |
Ga1-22 |
Ga1-23 |
Ga1-24 (496) |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
Ga1-25 |
Ga1-26 |
Ga1-27 |
Ga1-28 (500) |
|
|
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
Ga1-29 |
Ga1-30 |
|
|
|
Evidently
500 announces the arrival of Te Piringa
Aniva.
We have
not calculated with 236 + 90 + 250 = 576. We
must do that (and also add a final 8 to
reach the full cycle 584):
576 - 472 =
104 (= 4 * 26). 30 (a1) + 29 (a2) + 24 (a3)
+ 21 (a5) = 104:
|
19 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Ga5-17 |
Ga5-18 |
Ga5-19 |
Ga5-20 |
Ga5-21 (576) |
|
20 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
Ga5-22 |
Ga5-23 |
Ga5-24 |
Ga5-25 |
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
Ga5-26 |
Ga5-27 |
Ga5-28 |
Ga5-29 (584) |
|
From there a new 'earth' will
rise again:
|
21 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Ga5-30 |
Ga6-1 |
Ga6-2 |
Ga6-3 |
Ga6-4 |
|
22 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
Ga6-5 (590) |
Ga6-6 |
Ga6-7 |
Ga6-8 |
|
It seems clear that the Mayan
structure for Venus was known and used by
the creator of the G text. 20 times 29.5 =
590 fits rather well with the Venus cycle
584.
The meaning with 10 months
(instead of 12 or 13) in a year is now even
more clear than before. Not only are 10 the
number of fingers ('fire') but also half the
cycle determined by Venus.
584 / 2 = 292 (= 192 + 100) and we can see a
connection between Gb3-1 (the 10th glyph of
Hua Reva) and Gb3-4:

Gb2-28 |
