472 (= 16 * 29½) there were 70 days and

February 24 was 'the sixth day

Although exceptions exist, the

(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

numbering in the late Middle

Easter Island (te pito o te
kainga) is the last of all
known islands. Seven lands lie
before it, but these do not
recommend themselves for
settlement. Easter Island is the
'eighth land' (te varu kainga).
Actually, we are dealing here
with a figure of speech because
'seven' and 'eight' used as
qualifying quantities play a
traditional role in Oceania
(Barthel 1962a). While the
number seven is known as a topos
in MQS., HAW., and MAO., the
topos of the number eight goes
far beyond eastern Polynesia
(MQS., HAW., TAH.). In TON., the
number eight is 'a conventional
term signifying many or a
well-balanced number' (McKern
1929:17), and on Malaita in the
southern Solomon Islands, the
physical world in its entirety
is referred to as 'eight islands
(wālu malau) (Ivens
1927:400). The number eight not
only means 'many' but also
denotes perfection. Thus, when
Easter Island was called 'an
eighth land', the expression
contained first of all the idea
of a 'last' island - an island
farthest away from the rest of
the islands that make up the
oceanic world. At the same time,
the expression indicated a
special position among the other
islands. The idea of groups of
seven, which are surpassed by an
eight element, seems to belong
to the cosmology of Asian high
cultures. For example, there are
seven planets circling the world
axis, which represents the
eighth, and therefore central,
position ... |
Evidently the C tablet has
heliacal Vega 16
days after Khufu (Mintaka, male Belt) and
Double Double was 16 days after Menkaure
(Alnitak, female Girdle):
... Menkaure was allegedly a much
more benevolent Pharaoh than his
predecessors ...

... Midsummer is the
flowering season of the
oak, which is the tree
of endurance and
triumph, and like the
ash is said to 'court
the lightning flash'.
Its roots are believed
to extend as deep
underground as its
branches rise in the air
- Virgil mentions this -
which makes it
emblematic of a god
whose law runs both in
Heaven and in the
Underworld ...
The month, which takes
its name from Juppiter
the oak-god, begins on
June 10th and ends of
July 7th.
Midway
comes St. John's Day,
June 24th, the day on
which the oak-king was
sacrificially burned
alive.
The Celtic year was
divided into two halves
with the second half
beginning in July,
apparently after a
seven-day wake, or
funeral feast, in the
oak-king's honour ... |

... On February 9 the Chorti
Ah K'in, 'diviners', begin
the agricultural year. Both the
260-day cycle and the solar year
are used in setting dates for
religious and agricultural
ceremonies, especially when
those rituals fall at the same
time in both calendars. The
ceremony begins when the
diviners go to a sacred spring
where they choose five stones
with the proper shape and color.
These stones will mark the five
positions of the sacred
cosmogram created by the ritual.
When the stones are brought back
to the ceremonial house, two
diviners start the ritual by
placing the stones on a table in
a careful pattern that
reproduces the schematic of the
universe. At the same time,
helpers under the table replace
last year's diagram with the new
one. They believe that by
placing the cosmic diagram under
the base of God at the center of
the world they demonstrate that
God dominates the universe. The
priests place the stones in a
very particular order. First the
stone that corresponds to the
sun in the eastern, sunrise
position of summer solstice is
set down; then the stone
corresponding to the western,
sunset position of the same
solstice. This is followed by
stones representing the western,
sunset position of the winter
solstice, then its eastern,
sunrise position. Together these
four stones form a square. They
sit at the four corners of the
square just as we saw in the
Creation story from the Classic
period and in the Popol Vuh.
Finally, the center stone is
placed to form the ancient
five-point sign modern
researchers called the quincunx
...

By using the date 5
February (36 + 365 = 401), when
Hun-Nal-Ye 'became the sky', for
glyph (right ascension day) number 630
(= 10 * 9 weeks) - when he went to the
top of the Tree - the numbers seem to
fit. The 3 great 'broken stone heaps' on the
Gizah cementary plateau in the west
marked the following 3 days.
... Väinämöinen 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. Väinämöinen
found his way to the giant's mouth, and
planted his iron staff in it. The giant
awoke and suddenly opened his huge
mouth. Väinämöinen 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
...
630 - 401 = 229 (number
of glyphs on side a of the G tablet) and
630 - 365 = 265 = 401 - 36. Which means
moving 630 days
from the beginning of the text on side a
of the C tablet will bring us from
September 20 (263) to day 263 + 265 -
365 = 163 (heliacal Alnilam, String of Pearls).
... The water
of the kava, however,
has a different symbolic
provenance. The classic
Cakaudrove kava
chant, performed at the
Lau installation rites,
refers to it as sacred rain
water from the heavens
... This male and chiefly
water (semen) in the womb of
a kava bowl whose
feet are called 'breasts' (sucu),
(pictures
from Lindqvist showing very
old Chinese cooking vessels)
and from
the front of which, tied to
the upper part of an
inverted triangle, a sacred
cord stretches out toward
the chief ... The cord is
decorated with small white
cowries, not only a sign of
chieftainship but by name,
buli leka, a
continuation of the metaphor
of birth - buli, 'to
form', refers in Fijian
procreation theory to the
conceptual acception of the
male in the body of the
woman. The sacrificed child
of the people will thus give
birth to the chief. |
But the Gregorian calendar is not 366
days long and therefore the correct
calculation should be 263 + 265 - 366 =
162 (heliacal Khufu).
At the time of rongorongo
Mintaka (Khufu) rose in June 11 (162) in
the day after June 10 when the month of
Jus Piter (Father Light, the Oak king) was
beginning, the month when the Oak Tree
was burned alive. And 4 days before Khufu
was the Toromiro tree, viz. at
Rigel and Capella:
My right ascension dates,
e.g. June 10, were defined from the
heliacal positions of the stars at the
time of rongorongo; I had found it more
easy to use right ascension dates than
the conventional right ascension hours. But
at the time of Gregory XIII the
corresponding right ascension day
numbers would have been around 4 less.
The Toro-miro on Easter Island
must have been the tree (miro) of
the Door (i.e. of the Bull, Toro
in Spanish),
... When Gwion writes in the Câd
Goddeu, 'Stout Guardian of the door,
His name in every tongue', he is saying
that doors are customarily made of oak
as the strongest and toughest wood and
that 'Duir', the Beth-Luis-Nion name for
'Oak', means 'door' in many European
languages including Old Goidelic
dorus, Latin foris, Greek
thura, and German tür, all
derived from the Sanskrit Dwr,
and that Daleth, the Hebrew
letter D, means 'Door' - the 'l' being
originally an 'r'.
and this Easter Island
sacred tree evidently
corresponded to the Oak. It grew
where at the time of Taurus the right
ascension date would have been APRIL 4
(94) = 158 (June 7) - 64 and at the time of
Gregory XIII the corresponding equation
would have been 154 (°June
3) - 60 = APRIL 4 (94).
In the text on the G
tablet the curious quartet
of figures following Sirius close to the Full Moon
in December 30 (364, *284) should then be
possible to understand, because whereas
the Girdle (Alnitak) was at the Sun in
June 13 = 16 days before it once again
became visible when Double Double rose
with the Sun, i.e. in day 404 (February
8, 2-8) + 16 = 420 (= 7 * 60, February
24), the
corresponding position at Gb6-24 was 4
days later than February 24. In February
24 (2-24) the Armpit star was at the Full
Moon, *287 - *88 = *199 days after
Betelgeuze.
... Rigel (β)
was at the beginning of Orion with
Bet-el-Geuze - the House of the
Giant, a name derived from Ibt al
Jauzah, the Armpit of the Central
One - at the other side, on the brink of
the River. Centrally located on the
Giza plateau were 3 great pyramids,
like three gigantic stones for creating
a new fire. Ibt (armpit) ought to
be i(e)b (heart) with suffix
-t for female:

drums, he said, was the armpit
drum. The Nummo made it. It
consists of two hemispherical
wooden cups connected through

made a picture of it with his
fingers, as children do today in

hands apart, he passed a thread
ten times round each of the four
fingers, but not the thumb. He
thus had forty loops on each
hand, making eighty threads in
all, which, he pointed out, was
also the number of teeth of his
jaws. The palms of his hands
represented the skins of the
drum, and thus to play on the
drum was, symbolically, to play
on the hands of the Nummo ...
