244. Once again. The 'Tree' (Tane) pushed Sky and Earth apart and this ought to have happened after the winter solstice.

... the Palenque scribes repeated Creation again and described it as 'it was made visible, the image at Lying-down-Sky, the First-Three-Stone-Place'

... They were Ranginui, the Sky Father, and Papatuanuku, the Earth Mother, both sealed together in a close embrace. Crushed between the weight of their bodies were their many children, whose oppression deepened. They yearned to be free; they fought their parents and each other to break loose. Tuumatauenga, virile god of war, thrust and shouted; Tangaroa of the oceans whirled and surged; Tawhirirangimaatea, Haumiatiketike and Rongomatane, of wild foods and cultivated crops, tried their best but were not successful; and Ruamoko, god of earthquakes, yet to be born, struggled in the confinement of his mother's womb ... Of them all, Taane Mahuta, the god of the forests, was the most determined; he set his sturdy feet upon his father's chest, and braced his upper back and shoulders against the bosom of his mother. He pushed; and they parted. So the world, as the Maori understand it, came into being ...

... The Maya word cab means earth, world, tierra, the place below,

opposed to caan, the sky. The overwhelming evidence on the glyph and its associations in the pictures and texts is for this same meaning, Earth.

A most interesting glyph in this connection is one found in Maudslay's Tikal, plate 74, glyph 13, our form 17.33.

The text on the stela shows that this glyph indicates the passage of one day, from 6 Eb, 0 Pop to 7 Eb, 1 Pop; the sun or kin, preceded by the numeral 1, is seen entering between the caban-sign and what we shall later come to identify as the sky-glyph ...

In the beginning there were only Sky and Earth 'in close embrace', and when Air entered in between them it was a fundamental change from 2 to 3.

 ... The ancient Chinese said: One generates Two, Two generates Three, and Three generates Everything.

And reasonably there should be a Sign of '3' where this event occurred. At left in glyph 17.33 a triplet of 'stones' arranged vertically could have visualized the season of  Sky (top), the season of Air (central) and the season of Earth (bottom). But since top and bottom are quite similar the meaning could be the northern sky respectively the southern sky with the equatorial (inhabitable) belt in between.

The peculiar form of the top and bottom 'stones' are basically the same as those used for the 'eyes ahead' in the last 5-day month Vayeb:

From the first 3-stone place to the creation of our present world - the measure 12 weeks (84 days) could have corresponded to the distance from the beginning of the Julian year to its spring equinox:

Itzam-Yeh defeated 28 May, 3149 BC (148)  
First 3-stone place 21 May, 3114 BC (141) 141 - 70 = 71 (12 March)
Creation of our present world 13 Aug, 3114 BC (225) 225 - 70 = 155 (4 June)
Hun-Nal-Ye became the sky 5 Febr, 3112 BC (36)  
(3149 - 3112) / 71 = 0.52 < (26.6 - 26)

21 May, 3114 BC - 13 August, 3114 BC = 225 - 141 = 84 (= 12 * 7)

21 May, 3114 BC - 5 February, 3112 BC = 542, which 'happens to be' the sum of 365 days and 6 * 29½ nights.

148 (May 28) - *70 = 78 (19 March)

But the stars which rose with the Sun in 25 March (84) in the year 3114 BC would since then have moved ahead in the year with about 70 right ascension days, and 84 + 70 = 154 (June 3):

... Fanciful, assuredly, but neither the Milky Way nor the terrestrial Ganges offered any basis for the imagery of a river flowing to the four quarters of the earth 'for the purification of the three worlds'. One cannot get away from the 'implex' and it is now necessary to consider the tale of a new skeleton map, alias skambha: the equinoctial colure had shifted to a position where it ran through stars of Auriga and through Rigel. Skambha, as we have said, was the World Tree consisting mostly of celestial coordinates, a kind of wildly imaginative armillary sphere. It all had to shift when one coordinate shifted ...

... 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 ...

Yet, it could be argued that the Mayan dates in the 3 texts at Koba might have been translated to the structure and dates in our current Gregorian sun calendar as related to the modern heliacal star positions, in which case we should move not 70 right ascension days ahead but 70 right ascension days back in our calendar:

The first 3-stone place came 84 (as in the day number for the Julian equinox) days before the Creation in 13 Aug, 3114 BC (225, *145), and 225 - 84 = 141 (21 May) was at glyph number 327 (Ca12-11) - 84 = 243 (= 9 * 27), i.e. at the hole (the cave) in the mountain (mauga) from where to count (hia):

... 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 ...

Counting 70 days ahead, alternatively 70 days back in the year, means the sum - including the present right ascension day - should measure out as 141 days (cfr the day number for May 21):

Julian equinox

84 (= 12 weeks)

84 + 70 = 154 (June 4, 6-4)

10 weeks

10 weeks

141 days = 20 weeks + 1 day

32 weeks equals 224 days, and 224 + 141 = 365 = 52 weeks + 1 day.

Since the time of creation (around 70 * 71 = 4970 years ago as measured at the time of rongorongo) the 'Plate Tectonics of time-space' meant the 'continental crusts' would slowly have been pushed away with 70 right ascension days from the 'Mid-Atlantic Ridge' - one 'continent' being pushed by the precession in one direction and the other equally far in the opposite direction.

Possibly this might explain why the current year could have been regarded by some as beginning at the Pleiades and by others at Rigel.

But 'common ground' was possibly found in day number 141 (= 80 + 61), i.e. at day number 5 * 28 + 1 = 365 - 224 (= 32 * 7) or in the first the day after 20 weeks:
