and Papa O Pea, could have been seen
by the Explorers in the night by reading
the map of the stars at the time of the

where according to the Gregorian calendar -
used at the time of rongorongo
- Antares
(Ana-Mua) rose with the Sun,
and from there 37 (= 366 - 329) right
ascension days remained to the beginning of

... There was no water in the
village. The lakes and rivers
were dry. Raven and Crow, two
young girls who were having
their first menstrual courses,
were told to go and draw water
from the ocean. Finding the
journey too long, Raven decided
just to urinate into her
basket-bucket. She decieved no
one and 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 ... |

Possibly the not so
bright Cancer configuration suggested a
place of birth - inhabited only by tiny stars:
Crow returned with fresh
water, but Raven simply urinated in her
bucket. The stars in the Raven
constellation were not as weak as those
in Cancer:
And in South America they
formed a quincunx on the other side of
Leo:
Thus there were 2 quincunx
(tent) constellations, one above and one
below the ecliptic, and in the center
was Leo - remarkably absent in the
Chinese list, where instead the Water
Serpent (Hydra) had taken his place:
... Actually, we are up against a
completely incomprehensible narrative of
events which occurred during a sea
voyage. The plant, according to Albright
(AJSL 36, p. 281, n. 2) literally
'thorny grapevine' is supposed to grow
in the apsu, and to be accessible
by way of a 'water-pipe'. This pipe,
rātu, however, is a conjecture right
here: the word occurs only later when,
after his bath in a well, and the
following loss of the plant, Gilgamesh
complains bitterly about his
frustration, i.e., about having obtained
a boon for the 'earth lion' instead of
for himself.
The 'earth lion', identified with the
thievish serpent, is assumed in its turn
to live 'in a well which communicated
with the apsu' (Albright, 35,
p. 194). It is then (GE 11.298)
that the hero says: 'When I opened the
water-pipe and (...) the gear, I found
that which has been placed as a sign for
me: I shall withdraw and leave the boat
on the shore' (Speiser trans., ANET, pp.
96f.) ...

... Antares, visible in the morning sky
of December-January, came to stand for
summer heat; hence the saying, 'Rehua
cooks (ripens) all fruit'. The generally
accepted version of the Rehua
myth, according to Best, is that
Rehua had two wives, the stars on
either side of Antares. One was
Ruhi-te-rangi or Pekehawani,
the personification of summer languor (ruhi),
the other Whaka-onge-kai,
She-who-makes-food-scarce before the new
crops can be harvested
...
Also Leo (personifying
summer north of the equator) could have
had two 'wives', one above and one
below, each living inside a 'tent'
(quincunx).
...
[This is] Waman Puma's conception of the
relationship between Peru and Spain
according to the Andean duality
principle of Hanan (Upper) and
Hurin (Lower). Each country is shown
as a Tawantinsuyu - four quarters
with a capital in the center. Peru is
higher, closer to the sun, and therefore
full of gold, the 'sweat of the sun' ...
