296. But Ursa Major lifted also her left hind leg high, at Tania Borealis (λ) and Australis (μ):

... Furthermore, the right ascension distance down from Bharani to Hyadum II was around *64 - *41 = *23 days, which implied that the position of "June 24 (175 = 350 / 2) would at that ancient time have been around day number 175 - 23 = 152 (JUNE 1), i.e. 9 right ascension days after ο Ursae Majoris:

From κ Ursae Majoris, rising with the Sun in Te Maro 24 (175) - corresponding to JUNE 1 (152 = 175 - 23) - to Tania Australis (μ) at JUNE 21 (solstice) there were 20 right ascension days. But Regulus rose with the Sun already 16 days after κ, which meant Talitha Australis (κ) would in principle (ideally because Ursa Major was circumpolar) return to visibility at the same time as the Sun reached Regulus, the Little King. Hevelius has illustrated how the uplifted left hind foot of Ursa Major was in the light and flat - presumably referring to how at a summer solstice the path of the Sun neither went up nor down - it was elevated and level.

... He got up, the path went uphill, and he came (back) to the house. It was dark when he reached the house. When he came to the yam plantation of Kuukuu, he sat down. Night was falling. Ira asked Makoi the following question: 'How did you fare when you wandered, when you went searching, when you found yourself on the path of the dream soul of the father?' Makoi replied, 'There are indeed all those places. I did not forget them at all (? kai viri kai viri) when I saw them (text corrected, i-ui-nei). I alone saw no fewer than four of my [sic!] places, and I returned here only because night was falling.' Then Ira spoke again: 'How did you name them, last-born?'  Makoi replied, 'This is what happened, this is how I gave the names. I wrote (ta) Te Manavai A Hau Maka on the surface of a banana leaf (kaka), and this is how I left it.' This is how Makoi remembered it. No sooner had he said this, when Ira gew angry and quarrelled with Makoi. He said the following (to him): 'You did not pay attention, last-born, and you did not give the (full) name. This is how it should be: the Manavai of Hau Maka of Hiva, in memory (mo aringa ora) of the father, of his dream soul.' Makoi replied, 'In Hiva the land belongs to him - this land here is mine, not his!' [E:21]

They stayed (there longer). On the fifth day of the month of July (Anakena) [day 227 at the time of rongorongo], they all got up, went downhill, went on, and reached Hanga Te Pau. They took their provisions with them, carrying them on their shoulders, went on, and reached Te Pou. They made camp and slept in Te Pou on the tenth of the month of July (Anakena) ...

There were *111 (Anakena 10) - *81 (Hanga Te Pau) = 30 right ascension days from their Landfall to 10h, from Ga2-28 (58) to Ga4-5 (88). From Landfall to the 2nd time they reached Hanga Te Pau there were 186 - 161 = 25 days, suggesting Hanga Te Pau was a dark regenerativ time belonging to Saturn.

... The Greek lettered κ (Situla) is at the rim of the Urn, not at the top of the Nilometer, where instead there is a Latin letter k. The meaning obviously is for the viewer to connect k with κ, to imagine the Rod inserted into the Urn (Tent) at the K position ...

From Anakena 10 to Anakena 18 there were 8 days - suggesting the number of dark nights before Venus returned as morning star. After having slept at Te Pou (*111 or *107 if counted from 3-25 instead of from 0h ) the Explorers moved on towards the Bay of Flies (Hanga Takaure), where they made camp and rested for a week.

In Anakena 18 they left Hanga Takaure. This means the week they spent in the Bay of Flies could have began at Ga4-6 and ended with Ga4-12, viz. at JUNE 24 where Situla was at the Full Moon:
