And 35 (= 220 - 185) right ascension days after

number corresponding to the day number

(the day for the northern winter solstice

And

... Looking
round, he saw that the whole
land would soon be aflame. So he
changed himself into a
karearea, a hawk, and tried
to soar above the flames. But
the fire pursued him there and
scorched his feathers, which
accounts for the colour of that
bird. Seeing a lake, he plunged
down into it, but found that it
was almost boiling. All the
forests then caught fire, the
land everywhere was alight, and
Maui came very near to
death. Then he called on his
ancestor Tawhiri matea
and all his offspring, to send
down rain. 'Let water be given
to quench this fire!' he cried,
and spoke the appropriate
chants. Great clouds appeared,
and Tawhiri sent down
first the small rain, and then
the lasting rain, and everything
was drenched, and the flames
went out. Even Mahuika
herself almost perished before
she could reach her place of
shelter, and her shrieks were as
loud as those of Maui
when he was scorched. The waters
rose all around her, and in this
way Mahuika was deprived
of her former power. But fire
was saved for the world. When
the waters reached her
tikitiki, or the topknot of
her head, the last seeds of fire
fled from it to the
rata
, the hinau,
the kahikatea, the
rimu, and certain other
trees. These trees would not
admit them, and so they went to
the mahoe, the totara,
the patete, the
pukatea, and the
kaikomako, where they were
cherished. These are the trees
from whose dry wood fire can be
obtained by friction. The others
are of no use for this purpose

Raven decided just

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:

The last 3
days of September occurred
both in line Cb14 and in
line Ca1, as if underlining
the difference between 3
quarters with 90 days and 3
quarters with 91 days,
between a year with 360 days
and a year with 365 days:
... Nut, whom the Greeks
sometimes identified with
Rhea, was goddess of the
sky, but it was debatable if
in historical times she was
the object of a genuine
cult. She was Geb's twin
sister and, it was said,
married him secretly and
against the will of Ra.
Angered, Ra had the couple
brutally separated by Shu
and afterwards decreed that
Nut could not bear a child
in any given month of any
year. Thoth, Plutarch tells
us, happily had pity on her.
Playing draughts with the
Moon, he won in the course
of several games a
seventy-second part of the
Moon's light with which he
composed five new days. As
these five intercalated days
did not belong to the
official Egyptian calendar
of three hundred and sixty
days, Nut was thus able to
give birth successively to
five children: Osiris,
Haroeris (Horus), Set, Isis
and Nepthys ...
