... But little Maui stood up for himself. 'Well then, I'd better go, I suppose', he said. 'Since you say so, I must be someone else's child. But I did think I was yours, because I know I was born at the edge of the sea, and you cut off a tuft of your hair and wrapped me in it and threw me in the waves. After that the seaweed took care of me and I drifted about in the sea, wrapped in long tangles of kelp, until a breeze blew me on shore again, and some jelly-fish rolled themself around me to protect me on the sandy beach. Clouds of flies settled on me and I might have been eaten up by the maggots; flocks of seabirds came, and I might have been pecked to pieces. But then my great-ancestor Tama nui ki te rangi arrived. He saw the clouds of flies and all the birds, and he came and pulled away the jelly-fish, and there was I, a human being! Well, he picked me up and washed me and took me home, and hung me in the rafters in the warmth of the fire, and he saved my life. And I grew, and eventually I heard about the dancing you have here in this house, and that is what brought me here tonight ...

At the opposite side there was a knot of cloth, we can see from the head of Pythagoras, and this must similarly anciently have been at the bottom but had now been uplifted to be at the back of the head (180º away from the knot of hair), and in the C text we can look for the southern autumn equinox in March 21 (80) and then go back 100 days to search for its ancient position.

... Raven gazed up and down the beach. It was pretty, but lifeless. There was no one about to upset, or play tricks upon. Raven sighed. He crossed his wings behind him and strutted up and down the sand, his shiny head cocked, his sharp eyes and ears alert for any unusual sight or sound. The mountains and the sea, the sky now ablaze with the sun by day and the moon and stars he had placed there, it was all pretty, but lifeless. Finally Raven cried out to the empty sky with a loud exasperated cry. And before the echoes of his cry faded from the shore, he heard a muffled squeak. He looked up and down the beach for its source and saw nothing. He strutted back and and forth, once, twice, three times and still saw nothing. Then he spied a flash of white in the sand. There, half buried in the sand was a giant clamshell. As his shadow fell upon it, he heard another muffled squeak. Peering down into the opening between the halves of the shell, he saw it was full of tiny creatures, cowering in fear at his shadow ...

This will bring us to the central part of the Moon calendar, where at the beginning of its 4th (→ unlucky) period there is a little bird with rounded bottom like those at the beginnning of the other 7 such periods - however in contrast to the 7 others this one has a black eye:

... Three representations of a deity smoking a tubular pipe appear on Madrid pages 86-87b. The initial glyger in the accompanying text is T227:504; Seler pointed out that this glyger probably meant 'smoking'. T227 is a seated man; nak in Tzotzil is 'to sit'; the second glyph is the well-known glyph for 'night', Yucatec akbal.

Knorozov ... reads T227 as nak, citing only Yucatec nak 'belly'. For the combination T227:561:23, Knorozov ... read nak chaan, citing Motul nak caan 'capa del cielo' ('layer of heaven'), a plausible reading. T504, the akbal glyph, is read by Knorozov simply ak. Cordan ... follows this reading completely, giving nakak 'to smoke'. This seems to be entirely a derived meaning, for which he cites the comparative evidence of Yucatec nakba 'to burn' and Chontal nuk'um 'he smokes'. If the latter is due to assimilation from an earlier *nak'um, it would certainly support the reading of T227 as nak, although not necessarily the interpretation of T504 as ak. Tzeltal nak' 'to hide' may account for the use of this glyph in astronomical contexts, where it may indicate occultation ...

The Full Moon glyph (only a single line around in contrast to the broad daylight band for the Sun) corresponds to the night of the full moon (Hotu), although Omo-tohi means the night when the sucking (omo) is ending (tohi) - because then the Waning phase is due to arrive.

... 'My child', said Makea now in a tone of deep sorrow, 'there has been a bad omen for us. When I performed the tohi ceremony over you I missed out a part of the prayers. I remembered it too late. I am afraid this means that you are going to die.' 'What's she like, Hine nui te Po?' asked Maui. 'Look over there', said Makea, pointing to the ice-cold mountains beneath the flaming clouds of sunset. 'What you see there is Hine nui, flashing where the sky meets the earth. Her body is like a woman's, but the pupils of her eyes are greenstone and her hair is kelp. Her mouth is that of a barracuda, and in the place where men enter her she has sharp teeth of obsidian and greenstone.'

Rakau at Porrima could mean this place was at the opposite side of the Breast (in Cassiopeia) - for rakau is a tree (or pole) and inside the boat we can imgine the outline of a breast.

At the beginning of the Milky Way there was likewise a ship (the Cargo Boat) waiting in order to take onboard a dark passanger, transporting him across the 4th quarter to the beginning of a new Land:

... The myth goes on to tell of the blessed boat's arrival in the marshes of the Delta, and of how Set, one night hunting the boar by the light of the full moon, discovered the sarcophagus and tore the body into fourteen pieces, which he scattered abroad; so that, once again, the goddess had a difficult task before her. She was assisted, this time, however, by her little son Horus, who had the head of a hawk, by the son of her sister Nephtys, little Anubis, who had the head of a jackal, and by Nephtys herself, the sister-bride of their wicked brother Set. Anubis, the elder of the two boys, had been conceived one very dark night, we are told, when Osiris mistook Nephtys for Isis; so that by some it is argued that the malice of Set must have been inspired not by the public virtue and good name of the noble culture hero, but by this domestic inadventure. The younger, but true son, Horus, on the other hand, had been more fortunately conceived - according to some, when Isis lay upon her dead brother in the boat, or, according to others, as she fluttered about the palace pillar in the form of a bird. The four bereaved and searching divinities, the two mothers and their two sons, were joined by a fifth, the moon-god Thoth (who appears sometimes in the form of an ibis-headed scribe, at other times in the form of a baboon), and together they found all of Osiris save his genital member, which had been swallowed by a fish. They tightly swathed the broken body in linen bandages, and when they performed over it the rites that thereafter were to be continued in Egypt in the ceremonial burial of kings, Isis fanned the corpse with her wings and Osiris revived, to become the ruler of the dead. He now sits majestically in the underworld, in the Hall of the Two Truths, assisted by forty-two assessors, one from each of the principal districts of Egypt; and there he judges the souls of the dead. These confess before him, and when their hearts have been weighed in a balance against a feather, receive, according to their lives, the reward of virtue and the punishment of sin ...
