Possibly 360 = 6 * 60 (counting like the ancient Babylonians with 60 as a basic unit) inspired the thinkers to perceive a beginning with 6 days before the emergence of the Sun calendar cycle. Ata was the first light before sunrise.

... 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 ...

The Weeping God drawn on the Gateway of the Sun was standing on a kind of pyramid and immediately above his legs we can count to twice 6 units:

The top layer consists of what looks like 6 bricks of sundried earth (henua) and the layer below has 6 faces above mouths drawn like canoes - implying water. A possible explanation could be that the Sun calendar had 6 months of summer heat and 6 months of cold water.

... They walked in crowds when they arrived at Tulan, and there was no fire. Only those with Tohil had it: this was the tribe whose god was first to generate fire. How it was generated is not clear. Their fire was already burning when Jaguar Quitze and Jaguar Night first saw it: 'Alas! Fire has not yet become ours. We'll die from the cold', they said. And then Tohil spoke: 'Do not grieve. You will have your own even when the fire you're talking about has been lost', Tohil told them. 'Aren't you a true god! Our sustenance and our support! Our god!' they said when they gave thanks for what Tohil had said. 'Very well, in truth, I am your god: so be it. I am your lord: so be it,' the penitents and sacrificers were told by Tohil. And this was the warming of the tribes. They were pleased by their fire. After that a great downpour began, which cut short the fire of the tribes. And hail fell thickly on all the tribes, and their fires were put out by the hail. Their fires didn't start up again. So then Jaguar Quitze and Jaguar Night asked for their fire again: 'Tohil, we'll be finished off by the cold', they told Tohil. 'Well, do not grive', said Tohil. Then he started a fire. He pivoted inside his sandal ...

The Weeping God was evidently standing on horizontal 'bricks' in the night, whereas the rongorongo text had them oriented vertically and indicating daytime units:

During these 6 months of cold water (the 'winter year') the Moon could have ruled (6 * 29½ = 177 = 360 - 183) because the Sun was absent (on the other side of the equator together with his fishy winter maid).

... Hamiora Pio once spoke as follows to the writer: 'Friend! Let me tell of the offspring of Tangaroa-akiukiu, whose two daughters were Hine-raumati (the Summer Maid - personified form of summer) and Hine-takurua (the Winter Maid - personification of winter), both of whom where taken to wife by the sun ... Now, these women had different homes. Hine-takurua lived with her elder Tangaroa (a sea being - origin and personified form of fish). Her labours were connected with Tangaroa - that is, with fish. Hine-raumati dwelt on land, where she cultivated food products, and attended to the taking of game and forest products, all such things connected with Tane ...

All around Pachamama we can count 'fish eyes' in her skirt:

... The principal word for 'fish' in most Dravidian languages is min, which has an ancient homophone meaning 'star', both probably derivatives of the root min 'to glitter' ... Fish are actually unable to close their eyes, and the fact that 'when the fish sleeps it does not close its eyes' was noticed by ancient Indians. The dot-in-a-circle similar to that occuring among the trefoils of the Harappan priest-king's robe is identical with the eye of the many small hare- and fish-shaped amulets discovered on the lower levels of Harappa ...

Posnansky has here counted to 83 (her left side) + 94 (her right side) = 177 'fish eyes' and then suggested we should count them twice in order to convert them into number of days.

However, the right side part of her skirt has been broken off, as if by accident, and Posnansky therefore assumed we should add 5 now absent double days: 88 (her left side) + 94 (her right side) = 182 and then 2 * 182 = 364.

But I suggest we should instead keep to what was intended to be visible and count 2 * 94 + 2 * 83 = 188 + 166 = 354 (= 12 * 29½).

South of the equator - below the midline as in the Polynesian homeland - Moon ruled their calendars and it was all very easy. But up in the north it was extremely complicated:

Furthermore, Posnansky has counted his circulos dobles in a way which resembles the serpentine rows on a rongorongo table - however not ascending upwards.

In the beginning everything is simple but later it becomes complicated and counting should therefore proceed upwards.

... According to an etiological Hawaiian myth, the breadfruit originated from the sacrifice of the war god Ku. After deciding to live secretly among mortals as a farmer, Ku married and had children. He and his family lived happily until a famine seized their island. When he could no longer bear to watch his children suffer, Ku told his wife that he could deliver them from starvation, but to do so he would have to leave them. Reluctantly, she agreed, and at her word, Ku descended into the ground right where he had stood until only the top of his head was visible. His family waited around the spot he had last been, day and night watering it with their tears until suddenly a small green shoot appeared where Ku had stood. Quickly, the shoot grew into a tall and leafy tree that was laden with heavy breadfruits that Ku's family and neighbours gratefully ate, joyfully saved from starvation ...
