My rule
of thumb to add 183 to
a heliacal right
ascension day in order
to find the opposite
side of the year (the
positition in the
nakshatra night) here
leads to placing the
Whip in Cassiopeia 182

Alioth. In the C text we
instead had the Legs in

... At the
beginning of
44 B.C. -
when Ceasar
was still
alive - the
Senate
decided to
raise
statues of
him in all
the temples
and to
sacrifice to
him on his
birthday in
the month
Quintilis,
which in
honour of
him was
renamed
July. He was
raised to
the status
of a god
(among the
other gods
of the
state) under
the name
Jupiter
Julius.
Marcus
Antonius,
who this
year was
consul
together
with Ceasar,
became high
priest and
responsible
for the
ceremonies.
In the
middle of
February, at
the time of
the old
feast of
Lupercalia
[cfr
Lupus =

ran around
naked and
whipped the

... We can
for instance
see how at
the time of
the Gate of
the Goat -
which here
indeed ought
to be the
relevant
time - the
shadow tree
in Gb1-21
was
connected
with a point
300 days
after
●JANUARY 19
(384 = 13 *
29½ + ½) -
on average
the coldest
day in the
year north
of the
equator
... |
I have
consistently
tried to
solve the
problem of
half 365¼
not being an
integer by
assigning
183 days
from
heliacal to
nakshatra
nights. This
leads to
October 1
(274) = 91
(April 1) +
183, with 22
/ 7 (22
July) - as a
Sign of the
value of
π
(approximately
equal to the
result of
the division
22 / 7) -
equal to the
last day in
September (3
* 91 = 273)
- 70 (the
precessional
distance
down to the
time when
Itzam-Yeh
was shot
down) and
with
heliacal
Alioth in
the
following
day, in 204
= 274 - 70.
On the other
hand, when
counting to
the
nakshatra
night at the
time of his
Fall (as in
autumn) my
method leads
to 71
precessional
nights down
to
the time
when he
'fell on his
face'. 71
'happens to
be' equal to
the number
of years
necessary in
order to
move the
positions of
the fixed
stars (in
relation to
the cardinal
points of
the Sun)
with 1 right
ascension
day. 26000
(assumed
length of
the
precessional
cycle) /
365¼ (the
Julian
length of a
year) = 71.
Therefore
the last day
in March at
the time of
rongorongo
corresponded
to day 365 +
90 - 71 =
384 (= 2 *
182) = 19
January at
the time
when the
shining
tooth of
Itzam-Yeh
was shot
down.

... When the
Pope Gregory
XIII updated
the Julian
calendar he
did not
revise what
had gone
wrong before
325 AD (when
the Council
of Nicaea
was held).
Thus the
stars were
still 3-4
days 'out of
tune'
compared to
the calendar
... the
Gregorian
'canoe' was
'crooked'.
His calendar
was not in
perfect
alignment
with the
ancient star
structure.
Because he
had avoided
to adjust
with the
effects of
the
precession
between the
creation of
the Julian
calendar and
the Council
of Nicaea in
325 A.D. The
Julian
equinox was
in the 3rd
month of the
year and in
its 25th day
(3-25)

However, this fact
should not disturb
us, because
the positions
documented in the
rongorongo texts
maybe should be
read from glyphs
grasped in pairs.
Furthermore,
the Wolf
was the one who 'opened the way' for
the Sun and
therefore we
probably ought at
his place to read the
glyphs heliacally - i.e. to
shift view from 182 to
183 so to say:
... The king,
wearing now a short,
stiff archaic
mantle, walks in a
grave and stately
manner to the
sanctuary of the
wolf-god Upwaut,
the 'Opener of the
Way', where he
anoints the sacred
standard and,
preceded by this,
marches to the
palace chapel, into
which he disappears.
A period of time
elapses during which
the pharaoh is no
longer manifest.
When he reappears he
is clothed as in the
Narmer palette,
wearing the kilt
with Hathor
belt and bull's tail
attatched. In his
right hand he holds
the flail scepter
and in his left,
instead of the usual
crook of the Good
Shepherd, an object
resembling a small
scroll, called the
Will, the House
Document, or Secret
of the Two Partners,
which he exhibits in
triumph, proclaiming
to all in attendance
that it was given
him by his dead
father Osiris,
in the presence of
the earth-god Geb.
'I have run', he
cries, 'holding the
Secret of the Two
Partners, the Will
that my father has
given me before
Geb. I have
passed through the
land and touched the
four sides of it. I
traverse it as I
desire.'

Or
why not cut her tail
off:
According to the
structure of the
Arabs order seems to
have been restored 3
days after Delta,
where the months of
winter were followed
by April and the
months of summer
- which order perhaps
could have stretched for 180
days until the Sun
reached the 'change
station' Porrima in
day 271:
... The (not)
barking dogs of
Louhi were probably
mentioned in order
to define the
location in Pohjola
where Ilmarinen had
landed, because the
e'eventh station of
the Arabs - The
Barker (Al Áwwā')
- was defined by
γ
Virginis (Porrima),
where there was a
kind of 'change
station',
... Men's spirits
were thought to
dwell in the Milky
Way between
incarnations. This
conception has been
handed down as an
Orphic and
Pythagorean
tradition fitting
into the frame of
the migration of the
soul. Macrobius, who
has provided the
broadest report on
the matter, has it
that souls ascend by
way of Capricorn,
and then, in order
to be reborn,
descend again
through the 'Gate of
Cancer'. Macrobius
talks of signs;
the constellations
rising at the
solstices in his
time (and still in
ours) were Gemini
and Sagittarius: the
'Gate of Cancer'
means Gemini. In
fact, he states
explicitly (I,12.5)
that this 'Gate' is
'where the Zodiac
and the Milky Way
intersect'. Far
away, the Mangaians
of old (Austral
Islands, Polynesia),
who kept the
precessional clock
running instead of
switching over to
'signs', claim that
only at the evening
of the solstitial
days can spirits
enter heaven, the
inhabitants of the
northern parts of
the island at one
solstice, the
dwellers in the
south at the other
... Considering the
fact that the
crossroads of
ecliptic and Galaxy
are
crisis-resistant,
that is, not
concerned with the
Precession, the
reader may want to
know why the
Mangaians thought
they could go to
heaven only on the
two solstitial days.
Because, in order to
'change trains'
comfortably, the
constellations that
serve as 'gates' to
the Milky Way must
'stand' upon the
'earth', meaning
that they must rise
heliacally either at
the equinoxes or at
the solstices. The
Galaxy is a very
broad highway, but
even so there must
have been some
bitter millenia when
neither gate was
directly available
any longer, the one
hanging in midair,
the other having
turned into a
submarine entrance
...
with one path
leading up, another
leading down, and a
3rd leading straight
ahead at 0º, the
path in the middle
between 'the cap' and
'the cup', between the
twin halves of the
'clamshell':
... 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

The
distance from Simmah
to η Andromedae
when counted more
precisely was ca
*11.4 + *365.25 -
*351.7 = *24.95 (and
not 26 right
ascension days). But
by assigning Delta
at the back side of
Andromeda as a point
of origin (origo)
from where to count,
order could be kept
in the Sun calendar.
The name Simmah for
γ in Pisces (at the
mouth of the
southern of the
modern pair of
fishes) probably
originated from the
Babylonian name
Šim-mah for the
whole of the Fish-swallow.
"...
A scoliast on
Aratos, commented on
by Grotius, said
that the 'Chaldeans'
called the
northernmost Fish
Χελιδόνιας ιχθύς,
shown with the head
of a swallow, a
representation that
Scaliger attibuted
to the appearance of
the bird in the
spring, when the sun
is in this region of
the sky ..." (Allen)
... Now birds and fishes
are born under the sign
of the Yin, but
they belong to the
Yang. This is why
birds and fishes both
lay eggs. Fishes swim in
the waters, birds fly
among the clouds. But in
winter, the swallows and
starlings go down into
the sea and change into
mussels
...
... This [σ
Sagittarii] has been
identified with Nunki
of the Euphratean
Tablet of the Thirty
Stars, the Star of
the Proclamation of the
Sea, this Sea
being the quarter
occupied by Aquarius,
Capricornus, Delphinus,
Pisces, and Pisces
Australis. It is the
same space in the sky
that Aratos designated
as Water
...
It could
be useful for us to
count the glyphs where
Metoro said hia
in the C text. On side a
there were 16 such
places and on side b
there were 20. None of
them coincided with
heliacal Delta. But when
the Sun reached the last
day of March at Ca14-13,
viz. at the belly (η)
of Cassiopeia, this was
(according to Metoro) a
day from where to count.
