387. There were 11 + 12 = 23 weeks from JANUARY 1 to JUNE 10 - which could remind us of 23 days for the circuit of Lono on Hawaii at the other side of the year and equator:

21 May, 3114 BC - 13 August, 3114 BC = 225 - 141 = 84 (= 12 * 7)

21 May, 3114 BC - 5 February, 3112 BC = 542, which 'happens to be' the sum of 365 days and 6 * 29½ nights.

At the time of rongorongo the day May 28 (148, *68) was where Aldebaran rose with the Sun and 77 days later, in August 13 (225, *145) the Sun had reached the Knot (Ukdah) with the Full Moon at the Foundation (Bunda).

By counting from the solstice we have to add 11 (= 366 - 355) more days and the place for the creation of our present world, when Bunda (Persian for Foundation, their asterism β and ξ Aquarii) had been close to the Full Moon in JUNE 10 (354 / 2 - 11 = 161), had therefore moved to August 13 (472 / 2 - 11 = 225 = 161 + 64).

... They stayed (there longer). On the fifth day of the month of July (Anakena) [day 186 + 41 = 227], they all got up, went downhill, went on, and reached Hanga Te Pau. They took their provisions with them, carrying them on their shoulders, went on, and reached Te Pou. They made camp and slept in Te Pou on the tenth of the month of July (Anakena). Then they all got up, carried their provision on their shoulders, went straight ahead, and followed the path of the dream soul of Hau Maka. They came to Hua Reva and said, This is Hua Reva A Hau Maka!...

... 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 ...

The day number for August 13 (225 = 15 * 15) could be expressed as the difference between 20 lunar synodic months (20 * 29½ = 590) and the standard Sun year (= 590 - 225). Or as the difference between 590 (20 * 29½) and 354 (12 * 29½) = 236 = 225 + 11.

The reversed manu rere at Ukdah / Bunda is the only such example in the whole corpus of rongorongo texts, with the possible exception of less clear cases such as:

Ba5-11 Bb7-1 Cb2-20 Cb7-7 Cb11-9 Da7-111 Da7-114

Although I2-79 has to be noticed (perhaps expressing the idea of how the back side generates the front side).

I2-79 I2-80 I2-81 I2-82

From the first 3-stone place to the time when Hun-Nal-Ye became the sky there were 542 days (= 365 + 177). I.e. the First Father had landed in the Ceiba tree 542 - 84 (= 225 - 141) = 458 (= 2 * 229) days counted from the creation of our present world. August 13 (225 = 8 * 29½ - 11) + 365 + 100 = 325 (November 21). This date should come 100 days later in the text. Or 365 - 100 = 265 days earlier:

... In three magnificent texts at the site of Koba, scribes recorded it as one of the largest finite numbers we humans have ever written. According to these inscriptions, our world was created on the day 4 Ahaw 8 Kumk'u. On this day all the cycles of the Maya calendar above twenty years were set at thirteen - that is to say, the cycles of 400 years, 8,000 years, 160,000 years, 32,000,000 years, and so on, all the way up to a cycle number extending to twenty places (2021 * 1360-day year). In our calendar, this day fell on August 13, 3114 BC.

To understand what this means, we need a little scale. The thirteens in this huge number act like the twelve in our cycles - the next hour after twelve is one. Thirteen changed to one as each of these cycles in the Maya calendar was completed, therefore, we have the following sequence:

Each of the years, called a tun by the Maya, in these dates is composed of 360 days. If we return to the Creation date with its twenty cycles set at thirteen, we see that it will take 41,943,040,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000 tuns for the highest cycle to change from thirteen to one ...
