133. Today the flies have arrived outside, I notice.
Evidently I am living synchronously, because there
are 100 days ahead to day 288 = 88 (referring to the
House of the Giant at the time of rongorongo) + 200. July 7 (188) =
October 15 (288) - 100.
Clearly the creators of Manuscript E - which sprinkles
some cardinal mythic events with exact dates - were
using the time frame of Bharani. The Full Moon
(nakshatra) king Hotu A
Matua
made land fall in October 15 (288) = 3 * 91 + 15:

They used the Gregorian calendar dates and
carried them back in time with 37 precessional days, from
the time of the Pope Gregory XIII to the time of
Bharani.

... The ancient names of the
month were: Tua haro, Tehetu'upú,
Tarahao, Vaitu nui, Vaitu poru [sic!],
He Maro, He Anakena, Hora iti, Hora nui,
Tagaroa uri, Ko Ruti, Ko Koró ...
And in order to be more precise
they could then have documented how the
Explorers began their oversea journey
in "April 25 (115) and reached Easter Island
in "June 1 (152), later to return again to
their homeland in day 115 + 183 (= 366 / 2)
= 298 (= 288 + 10).
... Ira,
Raparenga, Uure, Nonoma,
and Ringiringi got up and left the
'Dark abyss of Hau Maka' (i.e., Rano
Kau), arrived at Hanga Te
Pau, put the canoe into the water,
and sailed off to Hiva, to Maori.
Ira left on the twenty-fifth day of
the month of October (Tangaroa Uri).
(E:86)
152 ("June 1) - 115 ("April
25) = 37 = the precessional depth down from
1582 AD to the time of Bharani.
... 288 was also the day number the Pope
Gregory XIII had decided on for launching
his new calendar: ... The Julian calendar
day Thursday, 4 October 1582 was followed by
the first day of the Gregorian calendar,
Friday, 15 October 1582 (the cycle of
weekdays was not affected)
...
The text on side a of the G
tablet has heliacal Antares where according
to a linear extrapolation the date
at the time of Bharani would have been, viz.
in
"October 15 (288). And 10 days later was o
tagaroa uri 25 (298 = 115 + 183), where
5 of the Explorers went home. Makoi
stayed on the island and Kuukuu
had been carried into a cave.

... In view
of the almost universal prevalence of the Pleiades year throughout the
Polynesian area it is surprising to find that in the South Island and
certain parts of the North Island of New Zealand and in the neighboring
Chatham Islands, the year began with the new Moon after the early
morning rising, not of the Pleiades, but of the star Rigel in Orion ...
 |
It seems reasonable to
assume that the creators of Manuscript E
had Rigel, Capella, and Ras Algethi (the
Head of the Giant) in their minds when
they counted 183 days ahead from "April
25 (480 - 365 = 115) to "October 25.
