... From a point a little to the west of ζ [Adhafera, ζ Leonis] and not much farther from γ - when first observed the radiant point was in Cancer - issue the Leonids, the meteor stream of November 9th to 17th, its maximum now occurring on the 13th to 14th, which about every thirty-three years has furnished such wonderful displays, the last in 1866 and the next due in 1899.

Their first noticed appearance may have been in the year 137, since which date the stream has completed fifty-two revolutions. According to Theophanes of Byzantium, the shower was seen from there in November, 472; but the late Professor Newton, our deservedly great authority on the whole subject of meteors, commenced his list of the Leonids with their appearance on the 13th of October, 902, the Arabian Year of the Stars, during the night of the death of King Ibrahim ben Ahmad, and added:

It will be seen that all these showers are at intervals of a third of a century, that they are at a fixed day of the year, and that the day has moved steadily and uniformly along the calendar, at the rate of about a month in a thousand years. (Allen)

... They made camp and rested at the Bay of Flies for a week (etahi pohitu). On the eighteenth day of the month of July (Anakena) they went on from Hanga Takaure. They climbed uphill, went on, and reached Poike. When they arrived, they looked around and named (the place) 'Poike A Hau Maka'. They climbed up farther to Pua Katiki. When they arrived there, they looked around and named (the place) 'Pua Katiki A Hau Maka' ...

On Easter Island the Bay of Flies (Hanga Takaure) was located at the line of fire (Ko te Umu o te Hanau Eepe, The Earth Oven for the Thick-set Race)stretching north towards Mahatua:

However, according to Manuscript E the Bay of Flies (souls of the unborn) could have begun at Adhafera and have ended at Situla ...

... Men's spirits were thought to dwell in the Milky Way between incarnations. This conception has been handed down as an Orphic and Pythagorean tradition fitting into the frame of the migration of the soul. Macrobius, who has provided the broadest report on the matter, has it that souls ascend by way of Capricorn, and then, in order to be reborn, descend again through the 'Gate of Cancer'. Macrobius talks of signs; the constellations rising at the solstices in his time (and still in ours) were Gemini and Sagittarius: the 'Gate of Cancer' means Gemini. In fact, he states explicitly (I,12.5) that this 'Gate' is 'where the Zodiac and the Milky Way intersect'. Far away, the Mangaians of old (Austral Islands, Polynesia), who kept the precessional clock running instead of switching over to 'signs', claim that only at the evening of the solstitial days can spirits enter heaven, the inhabitants of the northern parts of the island at one solstice, the dwellers in the south at the other ... Considering the fact that the crossroads of ecliptic and Galaxy are crisis-resistant, that is, not concerned with the Precession, the reader may want to know why the Mangaians thought they could go to heaven only on the two solstitial days. Because, in order to 'change trains' comfortably, the constellations that serve as 'gates' to the Milky Way must 'stand' upon the 'earth', meaning that they must rise heliacally either at the equinoxes or at the solstices. The Galaxy is a very broad highway, but even so there must have been some bitter millenia when neither gate was directly available any longer, the one hanging in midair, the other having turned into a submarine entrance ...
