426. Once again. When Spica rose together with the Sun in the Age of Virgo this was around 80 days after the Sun had been at Argo Navis at 0h. Naos (*121) =  Bharani (*41) + *80, and therefore Naos should have risen with the Sun in "June 9 (160).

*41.4 + *80 = *121.4 and 121.4 / 365.25 * 26000 was 8642 years before the time of rongorongo. 8642 - 1842 AD = 6800 BC, when the northern vernal equinox had been in Cancer. 12500 BC (cfr the illustration above) - 6800 BC = 5700 years corresponds to 5700 / 26000 * 365.25 = 80 right ascension days, which means that in the age of Cancer (6800 BC) the thong which held it all together would have been around June 9 (80 + 80):

... Proclus informs us that the fox star nibbles continuously at the thong of the yoke which holds together heaven and earth; German folklore adds that when the fox succeeds, the world will come to its end. This fox star is no other than Alcor, the small star g near zeta Ursae Majoris (in India Arundati, the common wife of the Seven Rishis, alpha-eta Ursae) ...

However, 6800 BC was not exactly in the age of Cancer because Praesepe (the Beehive, ε Cancri) was at 0h in 7000 BC. Maybe we should instead say in the age of Argo Navis.

... The month, which takes its name from Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th and ends of July 7th. Midway comes St. John's Day, June 24th, the day on which the oak-king was sacrificially burned alive. The Celtic year was divided into two halves with the second half beginning in July, apparently after a seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in the oak-king's honour ...

... Though Andromeda has its roots most firmly in the Greek tradition, a female figure in Andromeda's place appeared in Babylonian astronomy.

DEC 7 8 9 10 11 (345) 12 (*266)

The year was divided into twin halves by Spica and Heze on one side and by the Pegasus Square and Andromeda on the other.

... On votive reliefs they are depicted with a variety of symbols representing the concept of twinhood, such as the dokana (δόκανα - two upright pieces of wood connected by two cross-beams), a pair of amphorae, a pair of shields, or a pair of snakes. They are also often shown wearing felt caps, above which stars may be depicted ...

The Greek capital letter H (eta, η) was similar to the δόκανα, although with the pair of uprights connected by only a single cross-beam, as if the twins had been partly separated. Such a separation could have been due late in March. There were twice π (Π) for measuring a circle and you could begin anywhere. Although some places were better than most:

... During his coronation year king Taufa'ahau Tupou IV advanced the theory that the Ha'amonga stones must have served a greater purpose than the more obvious function as a gateway. This proved to be the case when closer investigation revealed a secret mark on the lintel (= threshold) stone ... On June 21st 1967 at dawn his majesty was present at this place and it was a thrilling moment when the sun rose at the exact point indicated by his interpretation of the lines etched on the great stone ...
