299. Once again.
The beginning of glyph line Ga4
has a giant (Herculean) person
in full figure. Once I did
compare Ga4-1 with all the other
tagata figures in the
text and he is indeed slightly
greater.
At the time of
Bharani his position had been
107 right ascension days after
0h. This number was equal to 16 *
29½ - 365 and for instance also
equal to 80 (the Gregorian March
equinox) + 27 (the precessional
distance down to Roman times
(when the First Point of Aries
had been at 0h). Side a on the C
tablet carries 365 + 27 = 392 glyphs
(right ascension days) and ends
at Polaris. Side b begins with
heliacal Sheratan.
If the kuhane had moved
in the night at the time when
Hyadum II had been - according
to a linear extrapolation back
in time - at 0h, then this
great person in Ga4-1 would have been positioned
84 right ascension days after
0h (= 80 days after day 84), i.e. at the northern head of
the Lion (Ras El Aset
Borealis) with the Full Moon
positioned at
Poko Uri (DECEMBER 13). The kuhane
(flying spirit of the sleeping
Sun person Hau Maka in Hiva)
had here reached the mainland
of Easter Island, and with the
Head (puoko) of the Lion
up in the north the proper
place on Easter
Island should be
Rano Kau (Kao).

On Easter Island all the (male)
stone statues were 'brought
alive' in the east at the dry
Rano Raraku, at the
longitude of Tama:
... Métraux quotes a Rapa Nui
legend in which carvers from
Hotu Iti (eastern sector)
journeyed to the western sector
to seek the advice of a master
carver. They were perplexed
about how to resolve the
difficult problem of carving the
statue neck. He advised them to
seek the answer by viewing their
own bodies. They did so, and
discovered that the model for
the statue neck was the penis (ure)
...
The majority of the Polynesian
band of islands were close to
the equator and therefore people
would have perceived time following
longitudes rather than
latitudes:
...
I have read somewhere (possibly
in Needham's Science and
Civilisation in China) that
when the Europeans tried to
introduce their superior mills
in China they failed. The
Chinese kept to their
traditional models with
horizontal shafts and they could
not accept the European vertical
shaft.
I think the
reason was the Chinese system of
correspondendes. Everyone could
see how the stars in the sky
were revolving as if in a mill
with a horizontal shaft - mills
in general had to be constructed
like that, to do otherwise would
be an offense to Mother Nature

... 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).
Then they all got up,
carried their provision
on their shoulders, went
straight ahead, and
followed the path of the
dream soul of Hau
Maka.
They came to
Hua Reva and
said, This is Hua
Reva A Hau Maka!

soul looked
around for a
residence
for the
king. The
dream soul
went to
Maunga
Teatea
and gave him
the name 'Maunga
Teatea A Hau
Maka O Hiva'.
The dream
soul of
Hau Maka
looked
around. From
Maunga
Teatea
she looked
to Rangi
Meamea
(i.e.,
Ovahe).
The dream
soul spoke
the
following:
'There it is
- ho! - the
place - ho!
- for the
king - ho! -
to live
(there in
the future),
for this is
(indeed)
Rangi Meamea.'
The dream
soul
descended
and came to
Mahatua.
She named
the place 'Mahatua
A Hau Maka O
Hiva'.
The dream soul continued to look
around for a residence for the
king. Having reached Taharoa
she named the place 'Taharoa
A Hau Maka O Hiva'. The
dream soul moved along and
reached Hanga Hoonu. She
named the place 'Hanga Hoonu
A Hau Maka O Hiva'.
On the same
day, when they
had reached the
Bay of Turtles,
they made camp
and rested. They
all saw the fish
that were there,
that were
present in large
numbers - Ah!
Then they all
went into the
water, moved
toward the
shore, and threw
the fish (with
their hands)
onto the dry
land. There were
great numbers (?
ka-mea-ro)
of fish. There
were tutuhi,
paparava,
and tahe mata
pukupuku.
Those were the
three kinds of
fish. After they
had thrown the
fish on the
beach, Ira
said, 'Make a
fire and prepare
the fish!' When
he saw that
there was no
fire, Ira
said, 'One of
you go and bring
the fire from
Hanga Te
Pau!' One of
the young men
went to the
fire, took the
fire and
provisions (from
the boat),
turned around,
and went back to
Hanga Hoonu.
When he arrived
there, he sat
down. They
prepared the
fish in the fire
on the flat
rocks, cooked
them, and ate
until they were
completely
satisfied. Then
they gave the
name 'The rock,
where (the fish)
were prepared in
the fire with
makoi (fruit
of Thespesia
populnea?)
belongs to
Ira' (Te
Papa Tunu Makoi
A Ira). They
remained in
Hanga Hoonu
for five days

... God created

... Dante kept
to the tradition
of the whirlpool
as a significant
end for great
figures, even if
here it comes
ordained by
Providence.
Ulysses has
sailed in his
'mad venture'
beyond the
limits of the
world, and once
he has crossed
the ocean he
sees a mountain
looming far
away, 'hazy with
the distance,
and so high I
had never seen
any.' It is the
Mount of
Purgatory,
forbidden to
mortals. 'We
rejoiced, and
soon it turned
to tears, for
from the new
land a whirl was
born, which
smote our ship
from the side.
Three times it
caused it to
revolve with all
the waters, on
the forth to
lift its stern
on high, and the
prow to go down,
as Someone
willed, until
the
sea had closed
over us.' The
'many thoughted'
Ulysses is on
his way to
immortality,
even if it has
to be Hell. The
engulfing
whirlpool
belongs to the
stock-in-trade
of ancient
fable. It
appears in the
Odyssey as
Charybdis in the
straits of
Messina - and
again, in other
cultures, in the
Indian Ocean and
in the Pacific.
It is found
there too,
curiously
enough, with the
overhanging fig
tree to whose
boughs the hero
can cling as the
ship goes down,
whether it be
Satyavrata
in India, or
Kae in Tonga

... There were
80 days from
Zosma (the
girdle of the
Lion) and
Coxa (his
hips) to
Antares. I.e.,
the distance
from "July 27
(208) to 288
("October 15,
Tagaroa Uri 15)
corresponded to
the distance
from January 1
to 0h (the
Gregorian
equinox).
However,
according to
Manuscript E the
Sun king left
his old homeland
in Hora Nui 2,
which should
have
corresponded to
"September 2
rather than to
"July 27 (Anakena
27).
... Hotu's
canoe sailed
from Maori
to Te Pito O
Te Kainga.
It sailed on the
second day of
September (hora
nui) ...
245 ("September
2) - 208 ("July
27) = 37 days =
41 - 4, i.e.
according to the
Gregorian
calendar the Sun
would reach
°September 2
(245) when the
precessional
distance down to
the time of
Bharani was *41
- 4 = 37 days.
Manuscript E
seems here to
have documented
that the Sun
calendar (the
Gregorian
calendar) should
be used only up
to Zosma
and Coxa.
Or that the

calendar was
used in

Evidently the Southern
Cross (similar to the
Corvus constellation
according to people in
South America) was
perceived as a kind of
Fig Tree - such were
always bearing at least
some ripe fruits
(off-spring, hua)
I have heard.
... the bird, being sent
with a cup for water,
loitered at a fig-tree
till the fruit became
ripe, and then returned
to the god with a
water-snake in his claws
and a lie in his mouth,
alleging the snake to
have been the cause of
the delay. In punishment
he was forever fixed in
the sky with the Cup and
the Snake; and, we may
infer, doomed to
everlasting thirst by
the guardianship of the
Hydra over the Cup and
its contents. From all
this came other poetical
names for our Corvus -
Avis
Ficarius, the Fig
Bird; and Emansor,
one who stays beyond his
time; and a belief, in
early folk-lore, that
this alone among birds
did not carry water to
its young
...
Hua Reva came
immediately after
Te Pou.
The fruit never falls
far from the tree.

to wave. The
germ sense is
that of being
suspended ...
any light object
hung up in the
island air under
the steady
tradewind will
flutter;
therefore the
specification
involved in the
wave sense is no
more than normal
observation.

If
dev
or
div
has derived the
sense of
'throwing dice'
from an older
sense 'jacere,
jaculare', to
throw, to hurl,
that sense may
be a derivative
from a still
older one, 'to
lift up, swing
about, be
suspended' = the
Polynesian
lewa,
rewa,
'to be
suspended, to
vibrate'. And
thus we can also
understand the

... Another year
passed, and a
man by the name
of Ure Honu
went to work in
his banana
plantation. He
went and came to
the last part,
to the 'head'
(i.e., the upper
part of the
banana
plantation), to
the end of the
banana
plantation. The
sun was standing
just right for
Ure Honu
to clean out the
weeds from the
banana
plantation. On
the first day he
hoed the weeds.
That went on all
day, and then
evening came.
Suddenly a rat
came from the
middle of the
banana
plantation.
Ure Honu saw
it and ran after
it. But it
disappeared and
he could not
catch it. On the
second day of
hoeing, the same
thing happened
with the rat. It
ran away, and he
could not catch
it. On the third
day, he reached
the 'head' of
the bananas and
finished the
work in the
plantation.
Again the rat
ran away, and
Ure Honu
followed it. It
ran and slipped
into the hole of
a stone. He
poked after it,
lifted up the
stone, and saw
that the skull
was (in the
hole) of the
stone. (The rat
was) a spirit of
the skull (he
kuhane o te
puoko).
Ure Honu was
amazed and said,
'How beautiful
you are! In the
head of the new
bananas is a
skull, painted
with yellow root
and with a strip
of barkcloth
around it.'
Ure Honu
stayed for a
while, (then) he
went away and
covered the roof
of his house in
Vai Matā.
It was a new
house. He took
the very large
skull, which he
had found at the
head of the
banana
plantation, and
hung it up in
the new house.
He tied it up in
the framework of
the roof (hahanga)
and left it
hanging there

Zayin
(also
spelled
Zain or
Zayn
or simply
Zay) is
the seventh
letter of
many Semitic
abjads ...
It
represents
the sound
[z].
The
Phoenician
letter
appears to
be named
after a
sword or
other
weapon. (In
Biblical
Hebrew, 'Zayin'
means sword,
and the verb
'Lezayen'
means to
arm. In
modern
Hebrew, 'zayin'
means penis
and 'lezayen'
is a vulgar
term which
generally
means to
perform
sexual
intercourse
and is used
in a similar
fashion to
the English
word fuck,
although the
older
meaning
survives in
'maavak
mezuyan'
(armed
struggle)
and 'beton
mezuyan'
(armed,
i.e.,
reinforced
concrete).
The

called

... Nut, whom the Greeks
sometimes identified
with Rhea, was goddess
of the sky, but it was
debatable if in
historical times she was
the object of a genuine
cult. She was Geb's twin
sister and, it was said,
married him secretly and
against the will of Ra.
Angered, Ra had the
couple brutally
separated by Shu and
afterwards decreed that
Nut could not bear a
child in any given month
of any year. Thoth,
Plutarch tells us,
happily had pity on her.
Playing draughts with
the Moon, he won in the
course of several games
a seventy-second part of
the Moon's light with
which he composed five
new days. As these five
intercalated days did
not belong to the
official Egyptian
calendar of three
hundred and sixty days,
Nut was thus able to
give birth successively
to five children:
Osiris, Haroeris
(Horus), Set, Isis and
Nepthys

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

honour ... |
