Thank you, Night! Insight cannot be reached in busy daylight. Only when my eyes are closed to shut out the flow of input can order slowly be restored. During night the pieces of the puzzle can be assembled.

One piece, which I happened to notice in a TV program recently was that the ancient Egyptians used a Pythagorean triangle with 3, 4, and 5 units for creating right angles.

My creative night mind thought it ought to be investigated if not the squares in the rongorongo texts could be Pythagorean. The fields of spring could use right angles.

57 can be 'expanded' into 5 * 5 = 25 and 7 into 7 * 7 = 49. The hypotenuse is 8 * 8 = 64. The chessboard again, I thought. One grain on the first square, 2 on the 2nd, 4 on the 3rd etc. The phenomenon of 'multiplication' illustrated in concrete terms.

And Te Varu Kainga, what else but a chessboard. Why is it difficult to find it? The problem is to find which two sides in the triangle will generated 8 as hypotenuse. The text of G begins with delivering the solution: 57.

Furthermore, the lunar month is the unit of measure, and 29.5 * 8 = 236, half the text of G. The triangle is not in space, but in time.

For my inner mind I saw a right-angled triangle with base 7 units and height 5. The hypotenuse is 'born' at left and towards right it rises in a straight line to the top at midsummer, where it has reached its end at height 5.

This is the reason why suddenly there is a cut-off at midsummer. Why sun has to go straight down into the deep. Why the genital member (the 'fire' generator) of Osiris was swallowed by the fishes.

The 2nd 236, beyond midsummer, should describe waning instead of waxing. Instead of addition (the foundation of 'multiplication') there is subtraction. Once again we must use 8 and search for the other two sides, this time not adding their squares, though, but subtracting the smaller from the bigger.

The answer is quickly arrived at (for someone experienced in squares): 10 * 10 = 100 and 6 * 6 = 36. The difference is once again 8 * 8 = 64.

In the text of G it is expressed by changing from the pattern twice 35 (short for 5 and 7 'twice' - i.e. squared) into twice 30 beyond midsummer.

Twice 30 could be short both for 60 and for 1/6 of 360. Disregarding 0 it gives us 6 and 36. We already know that 8 * 8 = 64 is the difference between the sought for two smaller squares. The text of G has here delivered 36. Why twice 30 (and not a single 60)? Because once again squaring is involved. 30 = 5 * 6, and there should be an expression of 6 'twice' (squared).

But there are also twice 5 in twice 30. What use have they? We should add them: 5 + 5 = 10. They deliver the missing square which is the hypotenuse.

In my inner mind I try to depict also this triangle in time. 8 is not the hypotenuse here. 10 is the hypotenuse, but it is not visible in the text of G. We could say it is down there in the dark water.

The first 236 (= 8 * 29.5) are seen as glyphs in the text, as if the text was following the sun on his path upwards along 8 stations to midsummer. The second sequence of 236 glyphs cannot follow the sun because he abruptly went down deep at midsummer (to Hiva). What can be done is to follow the shadow of his path on the surface of the water.

He moves 10 stations down there, and adding the 8 up to midsummer we realize his step is 20. 160 + 200 = 360.

His shadow on the surface of the sea has 8 stations, and measures 8 * 29.5 = 236 glyphs (days). In the underworld sun moves 10 stations in another time. We cannot expect his 200 nights to be equal to our 236. The difference is 6 * 6 = 36. At the beginning of his 'nighttime journey' he is 6 measures down. 5 (at midsummer) + 6 (after midsummer) = 11, i.e. he has at midsummer produced an offspring, the son of next year. 11 = 10 + 1 (or 6 = 5 + 1).

Our time is measured by the pace of the moon, not by the pace of the sun.

8 is based on Venus, though. To determine the measure for the moon Venus gives direction:

5 * 584 = 2,920 is close to 8 * 365.25 = 2,922 and Venus therefore delivers two key numbers, 5 and 8, which enables the thinker to conclude 7 is the third term.

7 is not up in the sky. It must be down on earth.

Venus is the brightest star in the night sky, it 'is' number 5 ('fire'). It is the 'sun' of night. Venus describes a pentagram in the sky during her cycle.

Moon is shining even if Venus is absent, she must be number 8. She ought to measure out 8 * 29.5 = 236 nights.

It is not necessary to 'make-up' the period of Venus as morning star to coincide with 236 nights, as the Maya did, because the calendar is based on the moon. Her measure 236 does not have to coincide with the morning star period. But, of course, the morning star Venus is 'the same' as the first half of the year, the morning of the year.

If our calendar measures out 236 days following the sun in his ascent towards midsummer, it does not mean we are unaware of the down-to-earth measure 180 days. If we think of Venus as morning star and 'identifies' that period with 236 days, it does not mean we are unaware of the down-to-earth measure 263 days.

Having completed this train of thought, I went on. A right-angled triangle for the 1st half of the moon time calendar, with 7 as the measure down on earth, it ought to have a mirror image to get 14 instead of 7.

The height would still be 5, but we should think also on the 5 down below after midsummer (the additional 1 belongs to next year and should not bother us).

The total height, measured from rock bottom down deep, is 5 + 5 = 10. The total horizontal length is 7 + 7 = 14. A fortnight is the measure, not a week.

10 * 14 = 140 and we have suddenly reached a deeper understanding for number 140, for instance in the G structure 7 + 130 + 3 = 140. Could 3 refer to 'three stones' (Tautoru, Orion's Belt)? If so, they should be watched for not in the morning but in the evening. The main interest in the 2nd half of the year is not 'multiplication' in the fields of man but the regeneration of fire in the sky. 3 stones are necessary when building a hearth.

Also, 192 - 52  = 140.
