364. The Explorers stayed for 5 days in Papa O Pea and then they were 2 days in Ahu Akapu. These 2 days could have corresponded to the pair of days when north of the equator on Hawaii the Makahiki effigy was dismantled and hidden away:
... For in the ideal ritual calendar, the kali'i battle follows the autumnal appearance of the Pleiades, by thirty-three days - thus precisely, in the late eighteenth century, 21 December, the winter solstice. The king returns to power with the sun. Whereas, over the next two days, Lono plays the part of the sacrifice. The Makahiki effigy is dismantled and hidden away in a rite watched over by the king's 'living god', Kahoali'i or 'The-Companion-of-the-King', the one who is also known as 'Death-is-Near' (Koke-na-make). Close kinsman of the king as his ceremonial double, Kahoali'i swallows the eye of the victim in ceremonies of human sacrifice ...

355 (winter solstice) + 2 = 357 = 175 (St John's Day) + 182. Hora Iti 26 ("August 26), when the Explorers went from Papa O Pea to Ahu Akapu, was equal to 238 - 175 = 63 days = 9 weeks after He Maro 25 ("June 24).

In China, with Capricornus, Pisces, and a part of Sagittarius, it [Aquarius] constituted the early Serpent, or Turtle, Tien Yuen; and later was known as Hiuen Ying, the Dark Warrior and Hero, or Darkly Flourishing One, the Hiuen Wu, or Hiuen Heaou, of the Han dynasty, which Dupuis gave as Hiven Mao. It was a symbol of the emperor Tchoun Hin, in whose reign was a great deluge; but after the Jesuits came in it became Paou Ping, the Precious Vase. It contained three of the sieu, and headed the list of zodiac signs as the Rat, which in the far East was the ideograph for 'water', and still so remains in the almanacs of Central Asia, Cochin China, and Japan ... |

... On February 9 the Chorti Ah K'in, 'diviners', begin the agricultural year. Both the 260-day cycle and the solar year are used in setting dates for religious and agricultural ceremonies, especially when those rituals fall at the same time in both calendars. The ceremony begins when the diviners go to a sacred spring where they choose five stones with the proper shape and color. These stones will mark the five positions of the sacred cosmogram created by the ritual. When the stones are brought back to the ceremonial house, two diviners start the ritual by placing the stones on a table in a careful pattern that reproduces the schematic of the universe. At the same time, helpers under the table replace last year's diagram with the new one. They believe that by placing the cosmic diagram under the base of God at the center of the world they demonstrate that God dominates the universe. The priests place the stones in a very particular order. First the stone that corresponds to the sun in the eastern, sunrise position of summer solstice is set down; then the stone corresponding to the western, sunset position of the same solstice. This is followed by stones representing the western, sunset position of the winter solstice, then its eastern, sunrise position. Together these four stones form a square. They sit at the four corners of the square just as we saw in the Creation story from the Classic period and in the Popol Vuh. Finally, the center stone is placed to form the ancient five-point sign modern researchers called the quincunx ... |

... But in the fullness of time an obscure instinct led the eldest of them towards the anthill which had been occupied by the Nummo. He wore on his head a head-dress and to protect him from the sun, the wooden bowl he used for his food. He put his two feet into the opening of the anthill, that is of the earth's womb, and sank in slowly as if for a parturition a tergo. The whole of him thus entered into the earth, and his head itself disappeared. But he left on the ground, as evidence of his passage into that world, the bowl which had caught on the edges of the opening. All that remained on the anthill was the round wooden bowl, still bearing traces of the food and the finger-prints of its vanished owner, symbol of his body and of his human nature, as, in the animal world, is the skin which a reptile has shed ... |

... At the beginning of 44 B.C. - when Ceasar was still alive - the Senate decided to raise statues of him in all the temples and to sacrifice to him on his birthday in the month Quintilis, which in honour of him was renamed July. He was raised to the status of a god (among the other gods of the state) under the name Jupiter Julius. Marcus Antonius, who this year was consul together with Ceasar, became high priest and responsible for the ceremonies. In the middle of February, at the time of the old feast of Lupercalia [cfr Lupus = Wolf], he ran around naked and whipped the Roman ladies with thongs made from goat-skin [februa], in order to promote their fertility ... |

... The leap day was introduced as part of the Julian reform. The day following the Terminalia (February 23) was doubled, forming the bis sextum - literally 'double sixth', since February 24 was 'the sixth day before the Kalends of March' using Roman inclusive counting (March 1 was the 'first day'). Although exceptions exist, the first day of the bis sextum (February 24) was usually regarded as the intercalated or 'bissextile' day since the third century. February 29 came to be regarded as the leap day when the Roman system of numbering days was replaced by sequential numbering in the late Middle Ages ... |
Then followed Pu Pakakina, at the beginning of the Blue Dragon, viz. at Spica, which thus in a way also could be named Te Pou, as the Pillar or the Leader of the last part of the year:

At the time of rongorongo Sirius stood like a pillar at day zero in June 30, 181 (*101), and 101 days later came Spica in October 9, 282 (*202). The flag of Brazil has uplifted Spica with a little dot far down marking Dramasa (σ Octantis, the South Pole star). In between we can perceive the Southern Cross, and between Spica and the Southern Cross is the Tail of the Hydra (γ Hydrae, Al Dhanab al Shuja) - in the day before Spica but below the curved band. To the right is the Scorpion with Antares placed at the opposite side compared to Procyon (α Canis Minoris), below O in ORDEM. Alphard (α Hydrae) is below M. Sirius and 4 more stars in Canis Major are noted below Alphard, together with Canopus. In addition to 8 stars in the Scorpion we can also see 3 more stars to the left which mark the Southern Triangle (Triangulum Australe). Altogether there are 26 + 1 = 27 stars:
... The stars, whose position in the flag reflect the sky over Rio de Janeiro on November 15, 1889, represent the union's federated units - each star representing a specific state ... On May 12, 1992, the flag was modified with the addition of six stars to the celestial globe - representing the newly created states, and a slight change in the stars' positions was made to match the astronomical coordinates correctly ...
... There are at present 26 states in Brazil, each of them represented by a star in the coat of arms:
A 27th star represents the Federal district and the 5 great stars in the center of the circle (like a quincunx) could, I guess, illustrate the regions; Northern, Northeast, Central-West, Southeast and Southern ...
At the time of Bharani the Tail of the Hydra (γ Hydrae) was in day 240 (= 8 * 30) counted from "January 1. Allen:
"The stars between Corvus and Crater were Kien Mun, and those between γ Hydrae and Spica of the Virgin were Tien Mun, Heaven's Gate ... Hydra is supposed to be the snake shown on a uranographic stone from the Euphrates, of 1200 B.C., 'identified with the source of the fountains of the great deep', and one of the several sky symbols of the great dragon Tiāmat. Certain stars near, or perhaps in the tip of the Hydra's tail and in Libra, seem to have been the Akkadian En-te-na-mas-luv, or En-te-na-mas-mur, the Assyrian Etsen-tsiri, the Tail-tip ...
For an unknown period its winding course symbolized that of the moon; hence the latter's nodes are called the Dragon's Head and Tail. When a comet was in them poison was thought to be scattered by it over the world; but these fanciful ideas are now associated with Draco."
Anciently the Blue Dragon had been far down but the precession had moved Spica forward in the year and nowadays the creature was oriented vertically:
It looks like the Mayan map with an alligator (Moon) on one side of the Tree with a Sun (fire) person in the east, trampling hard with his foot on the nose of the croc to make it go away - though at the same time loosing his right hand (of course) to Ursa Major (Seven Macaw, Itzam Yeh):
The Maya texts are running from right to left and the Dragon (Alligator) should come later than the Sun person, which we will see in a mirror:
