... There was no
water in the
village. The lakes
and rivers were dry.
Raven and Crow, two
young girls who were
having their first
menstrual courses,
were told to go and
draw water from the
ocean. Finding the
journey too long,
Raven decided just
to urinate into her
basket-bucket. She
decieved no one and
was severly scolded.
Crow returned much
later but with
drinking water. As a
punishment, Raven
was condemned never
to find water in the
summer; only in
winter would she
find something to
drink. For that
reason the Raven
never drinks during
the hot months; she
speaks with a
raucous voice
because of her dry
throat ... |

At
the time of the Pope
the 'House of the
Giant' (Bet-el-geuze,
α Orionis) had been
rising with the Sun
84 days after ºMarch
21 (80), i.e. in
ºJune 13 (164). At
the time of
rongorongo the
distance from 0h to
Betelgeuze had
increased
with 4 days due to
the precession, to
June 17 (168). Which
means Betelgeuze
came 84 days after
the Julian equinox
in March 25 (84 = 12
weeks). 168 = 84
(Julian equinox) +
84 = 24 weeks.
Hyadum II rose
heliacally in MARCH
21 (80, 0h) and this was
64 precessional days
earlier than at the
time of rongorongo
(and 60 precessional
days earlier than at
the time of the
Pope). Therefore
Acrux would at that
ancient time have
been at the Full
Moon in day 84
(March 25) - 64 =
JANUARY 20 and would
have risen with the
Sun in day 20 + 183
= 203
(JULY 22 → 22 / 7 =
π). Since the
time of Hyadum II
Acrux had advanced
ahead from this
π date with
64 days
(respectively with
60 days).
At
the time of
Betelgeuze (when
this star had been
at 0h) Acrux (†)
would have risen
with the Sun *88 (=
the right ascension
position of
Betelgeuze at the
time of rongorongo)
days earlier in the
year than at the
time of rongorongo.
September 24 (day
number 267 at
heliacal Acrux) - 88
= 179 (= 80 + 99 =
84 + 95), and this
was a week after the
solstice when the
Sun as Father Light
'died' - as well as
the vegetation of
spring:

in the text seems
here to make a jump
ahead with 1 place,
because *366 = 365 +
1 and from Arcturus,
Syrma (*215) to
Zuben Elgenubi
(*224) there were
not 9 but 8 days. |
|
...
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 ...

The first day in
MARCH, where at the
time of rongorongo
the 'nose' (open
jaw, vaha mea)
of the Great Fish (α
Ceti) rose
heliacally, came 16
+ 1 days after
Sheratan, and at the
time of Bharani this
place was 3-24, the
day before the
Julian equinox.
At the time of
Bharani the Demon
star Algol was at
the Julian equinox
and at the time of
Hyadum II the Mouth
of the Sea Beast
(Menkar) would have
arrived in day 60
(MARCH 1). FEBRUARY
28 was day 31 + 28 =
59 corresponding to
May 3 (123) - 64.
...Then the big Fish
did swallow him, and
he had done acts
worthy of blame.
Had it not been that
he (repented and)
glorified Allah, He
would certainly have
remained inside the
Fish till the Day of
Resurrection. -
Qur'an, chapter 37
(As-Saaffat), verse
139–144.
But We cast him
forth on the naked
shore in a state of
sickness,
And We caused to
grow, over him, a
spreading plant of
the gourd kind.
And We sent him (on
a mission) to a
hundred thousand
(men) or more.
And they believed;
so We permitted them
to enjoy (their
life) for a while. -

... In other words,
the ancient Druidic
religion based on
the oak-cult will be
swept away by
Christianity and the
door - the god Llyr
- will languish
forgotten in the
Castle of Arianrhod,
the Corona
Borealis. This
helps us to
understand the
relationship at Rome
of Janus and the
White Goddess Cardea
who is ... the
Goddess of Hinges
who came to Rome
from Alba Longa. She
was the hinge on
which the year swung
- the ancient Latin,
not the Etruscan
year - and her
importance as such
is recorded in the
Latin adjective
cardinalis - as
we say in English
'of cardinal
importance - which
was also applied to
the four main winds;
for winds were
considered as under
the sole direction
of the Great Goddess
until Classical
times ...

... The Sun king (Hotu
A Matua) arrived
to Easter Island in
Tangaroa Uri 15
(288 = 2 * 144)
which corresponded
to °November 21 (325
= 288 + 37) in the
Gregorian calendar,
the day when at the
time of the Pope the
Sun had reached
Antares. The earlier
Julian calendar
distance 26 days was
expanded by Gregory
XIII to 37 days:
... 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) ...
This we have
established from the
G text, but not
until now has it
been revealed that
the Julian calendar
date 10 November
(314) in the year
1582 AD was at
heliacal Antares.

... They go
inland at the
land. The child
nursed and
tended grows up,
is able to go
and play. Each
day he now goes
off a bit
further away,
moving some
distance away
from the house,
and then returns
to their house.
So it goes on
and the child is
fully grown and
goes to play far
away from the
place where they
live. He goes
over to where
some work is
being done by a
father and son.
Likāvaka
is the name of
the father - a
canoe-builder,
while his son is
Kiukava.
Taetagaloa
goes right over
there and steps
forward to the
stern of the
canoe saying -
his words are
these: 'The
canoe is
crooked.'
(kalo ki ama).
Instantly
Likāvaka is
enraged at the
words of the
child.
Likāvaka
says: 'Who the
hell are you to
come and tell me
that the canoe
is crooked?'
Taetagaloa
replies: 'Come
and stand over
here and see
that the canoe
is crooked.'
Likāvaka
goes over and
stands right at
the place
Taetagaloa
told him to at
the stern of the
canoe. Looking
forward,
Taetagaloa
is right, the
canoe is
crooked. He
slices through
all the lashings
of the canoe to
straighten the
timbers. He
realigns the
timbers. First
he must again
position the
supports, then
place the
timbers
correctly in
them, but
Kuikava the
son of
Likāvaka
goes over and
stands upon one
support. His
father
Likāvaka
rushes right
over and strikes
his son
Kuikava with
his adze.
Thus Kuikava
dies.
Taetagaloa
goes over at
once and brings
the son of
Likāvaka,
Kuikava,
back to life.
Then he again
aligns the
supports
correctly and
helps
Likāvaka in
building the
canoe. Working
working it is
finished

... They all sat
down and rested
[on the plain of
Oromanga],
when suddenly
they saw that a
turtle had
reached the
shore and had
crawled up on
the beach. He [Ira]
looked at it and
said, 'Hey, you!
The turtle has
come on land!'
He said, 'Let's
go! Let's go
back to the
shore.' They all
went to pick up
the turtle.
Ira was the
first one to try
to lift the
turtle - but she
didn't move.
Then
Raparenga
said, 'You do
not have the
necessary
ability. Get out
of my way so
that I can have
a try!'
Raparenga
stepped up and
tried to lift
the turtle - but
Raparenga
could not move
her. Now you
spoke, Kuukuu:
'You don't have
the necessary
ability, but I
shall move this
turtle. Get out
of my way!'
Kuukuu
stepped up,
picked up the
turtle, using
all his
strength. After
he had lifted
the turtle a
little bit, he
pushed her up
farther. No
sooner had he
pushed her up
and lifted her
completely off
the ground when
she struck
Kuukuu with
one fin. She
struck downward
and broke
Kuukuu's
spine.The turtle
got up, went
back into the
(sea) water, and
swam away. All
the kinsmen
spoke to you
(i.e. Kuukuu):
'Even you did
not prevail
against the
turtle!'
They put the
injured
Kuukuu on a
stretcher and
carried him
inland. They
prepared a soft
bed for him in
the cave and let
him rest there.
They stayed
there, rested,
and lamented the
severely injured
Kuukuu.
Kuukuu
said, 'Promise
me, my friends,
that you will
not abandon me!'
They all
replied, 'We
could never
abandon
you!' They
stayed there
twenty-seven
days in
Oromanga.
Everytime
Kuukuu
asked, 'Where
are you,
friends?' they
immediately
replied in one
voice, 'Here we
are!' They all
sat down and
thought. They
had an idea and
Ira
spoke, 'Hey,
you! Bring the
round stones
(from the shore)
and pile them
into six heaps
of stones!' One
of the youths
said to Ira,
'Why do we want
heaps of stone?'
Ira
replied, 'So
that we can all
ask the stones
to do
something.' They
took (the
material) for
the stone heaps
(pipi horeko)
and piled up six
heaps of stone
at the outer
edge of the
cave. Then they
all said to the
stone heaps,
'Whenever he
calls, whenever
he calls for us,
let your voices
rush (to him)
instead of the
six (of us)
(i.e., the six
stone heaps are
supposed to be
substitutes for
the youths).
They all drew
back to profit
(from the
deception) (?
ki honui)
and listened. A
short while
later, Kuukuu
called. As soon
as he had asked,
'Where are you?'
the voices of
the stone heaps
replied, 'Here
we are!' All
(the youths)
said, 'Hey, you!
That was well
done!'

... The
Mahabharata
insists on
six as the
number of the
Pleiades as well
as of the
mothers of
Skanda and
gives a very
broad and wild
description of
the birth and
the installation
of Kartikeya
'by the
assembled gods
... as their
generalissimo',
which is
shattering,
somehow, driving
home how little
one understands
as yet. The
least which can
be said,
assuredly: Mars
was 'installed'
during a more or
less close
conjunction of
all planets; in
Mbh. 9.45 (p.
133) it is
stressed that
the powerful
gods assembled
'all poured
water upon
Skanda, even
as the gods had
poured water on
the head of
Varuna, the
lord of waters,
for investing
him with
dominion'. And
this
'investiture'
took place at
the beginning of
the Krita
Yuga, the
Golden Age

... Vainamoinen
set about
building a boat,
but when it came
to the prow and
the stern, he
found he needed
three words in
his rune that he
did not know,
however he
sought for them.
In vain he
looked on the
heads of the
swallows, on the
necks of the
swans, on the
backs of the
geese, under the
tongues of the
reindeer. He
found a number
of words, but
not those he
needed. Then he
thought of
seeking them in
the realm of
Death, Tuonela,
but in vain. He
escaped back to
the world of the
living only
thanks to his
potent magic. He
was still
missing his
three runes. He
was then told by
a shepherd to
search in the
mouth of Antero
Vipunen, the
giant ogre. The
road, he was
told, went over
swords and
sharpened axes.
Ilmarinen made
shoes, shirt and
gloves of iron
for him, but
warned him that
he would find
the great
Vipunen dead.
Nevertheless,
the hero went.
The giant lay
underground, and
trees grew over
his head.
Vainamoinen
found his way to
the giant's
mouth, and
planted his iron
staff in it. The
giant awoke and
suddenly opened
his huge mouth.
Vainamoinen
slipped into it
and was
swallowed. As
soon as he
reached the
enormous
stomach, he
thought of
getting out. He
built himself a
raft and floated
on it up and
down inside the
giant. The giant
felt tickled and
told him in many
and no uncertain
words where he
might go, but he
did not yield
any runes. Then
Vainamoinen
built a smithy
and began to
hammer his iron
on an anvil,
torturing the
entrails of
Vipunen, who
howled out magic
songs to curse
him away. But
Vainamoinen
said, thank you,
he was very
comfortable and
would not go
unless he got
the secret
words. Then
Vipunen at last
unlocked the
treasure of his
powerful runes.
Many days and
nights he sang,
and the sun and
the moon and the
waves of the sea
and the
waterfalls stood
still to hear
him. Vainamoinen
treasured them
all and finally
agreed to come
out. Vipunen
opened his great
jaws, and the
hero issued
forth to go and
build his boat
at last
