On the fifth day of the
month of July ('Anakena'),
they all got up, went
downhill, went on, and
reached Hanga Te Pau. |
It
was
probably
no
coincidence
that
3-24
could
be
understood
as
day
number
324
with
40
days
remaining
to
day
number
364.
3-24
+ 40
=
*83
+ 40
=
*123
("July
22,
22 /
7 =
3.14).
Similarly was February 14 (2-14) - All
Hearts' Day - probably alluding to 3-14 (π)
which in turn corresponded to 22 / 7 (203) at Taharoa ("July
22), i.e. the day before Rangi Meamea
which at the time of the Bull had been at helical Sirius
(in JUNE 30). 2-14 (*330) + 40 = *370 (= 740 / 2).

... Proclus informs
us that the fox star
nibbles continuously
at the thong of the
yoke which holds
together heaven and
earth; German
folklore adds that
when the fox
succeeds, the world
will come to its
end. This fox star
is no other than
Alcor, the small
star g near zeta
Ursae Majoris (in
India Arundati,
the common wife of
the Seven Rishis,
alpha-eta Ursae
...
... In the
inscriptions of
Dendera, published
by Dümichen, the
goddess Hathor
is called 'lady of
every joy'. For
once, Dümichen adds:
Literally ... 'the
lady of every heart
circuit'. This is
not to say that the
Egyptians had
discovered the
circulation of the
blood. But the
determinative sign
for 'heart' often
figures as the plumb
bob at the end of a
plumb line coming
from a well-known
astronomical or
surveying device,
the merkhet.
Evidently, 'heart'
is something very
specific, as it were
the 'center of
gravity' ... See
Aeg.Wb. 2, pp. 55f.
for sign of the
heart (ib) as
expressing generally
'the middle, the
center'.
And this may lead in
quite another
direction. The Arabs
preserved a name for
Canopus - besides
calling the star
Kalb at-tai-man
('heart of the
south') ...
Suhail el-wezn,
'Canopus
Ponderosus', the
heavy-weighing
Canopus, a name
promptly declared
meaningless by the
experts, but which
could well have
belonged to an
archaic system in
which Canopus was
the weight at the
end of the plumb
line, as befitted
its important
position as a heavy
star at the South
Pole of the 'waters
below '.
Here is a chain of
inferences which
might or might not
be valid, but it is
allowable to test
it, and no inference
at all would come
from the 'lady of
every joy'. The line
seems to state that
Hathor (=
Hat Hor,
'House of Horus')
'rules' the
revolution of a
specific celestial
body - whether or
not Canopus is
alluded to - or, if
we can trust the
translation 'every',
the revolution of
all celestial
bodies. As concerns
the identity of the
ruling lady, the
greater possibility
speaks for Sirius,
but Venus cannot be
excluded; in Mexico,
too, Venus is called
'heart of the
earth'. The reader
is invited to
imagine for himself
what many thousands
of such
pseudo-primitive or
poetic
interpretations must
lead to: a
disfigured
interpretation of
Egyptian
intellectual life
...
... 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
...

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 day of the month of July ('Anakena'). |
... When the Pope rearranged the day for spring equinox from number 84 ('March 25) to number 80 (ºMarch 21) the earlier Julian structure was buried, was covered up (puo). At the same time the Pope deliberately avoided to correct the flow of Julian calendar days for what he may have regarded as 4 unneccesary leap days prior to the Council of Nicaea. Thus his balance sheet for days was in order. The day numbers counted from the equinox were increased with 4 and this was equal to allowing the 4 'unneccessary' leap days to remain in place. But he had moved spring equinox to a position which was 4 days too early compared to the ancient model ...
These '4 unneccessary leap days' (prior to the Council of Nicaea) were equal in number to the precessional distance in time between the Pope and the time of rongorongo. The Gregorian calendar could therefore be easily understood by the Easter Islanders. The Pope had created a 'crooked calendar' but since his time the precession had fixed it ...
The correct days for 10h and 22h should have been at heliacal Regulus respectively at heliacal Sadalmelik. |
Then they all got up, carried their provisions 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!
They went on and reached Akahanga, took a look at it and looked around. They said: This is it! and gave the name Akahanga A Hau Maka.
They went on and came to Hatinga Te Kohe and saw that in this place the kohe plant had been broken. They all said, Here it is, the kohe plant, troop of young men! This kohe plant had been broken by the feet of the dream soul and therefore they gave the name Hatinga Te Kohe A Hau Maka.
They went on and came to Roto Iri Are. Again they said, There it is, Roto Iri Are and named (the place) Roto Iri Are A Hau Maka.
They went on and reached Tama. They looked around and said, This is Tama. They gave the name Tama, an evil fish (he ika kino), a very long nose (He ihu roroa).
Again they went on and came to One Tea. They saw it, looked around, and gave the name One Tea A Hau Maka.
Then they went on and came to Hanga Takaure. There they gave the name Hanga Takaure A Hau Maka. They made camp and rested at the Bay of Flies for a week (etahi pohitu). |
There
were 5 days from
Hanga Te Pau
(when All Hearts'
Day had been at the
Full Moon) to
Hanga Takaure,
which began in the
day after heliacal
Regulus.

live!'

... When
the Explorers left their old homeland in Vaitu Nui 25
this was probably corresponding to the date "April 25
(115), and at the time of Gregory XIII Cursa would have
risen with the Sun 41 - 4 = 37 days later, in °June 1
(152). When the Explorers reached Easter Island it was
in Maro 1 ("June 1). We can therefore guess the
sea-voyage of the Explorers - which took 37 days =
Maro 1 (152) - Vaitu Nui 25 (115) - should be
understood as alluding to the precessional distance to
their old homeland (Hiva), i.e. from the time of
Bharani to the time of Gregory XIII.

Hotu's

It
sailed
on the

The Fig
Tree where Raven was delayed seems to refer to the place
of Zosma and Coxa (Cb6-27), where the Full Moon was in
the Pegasus Square and the sex of Atea changed
from male to female:
...
Atea then became the wife of Rua-tupua-nui,
Source of Great Growth, and they became the parents of
all the celestial beings, first the shooting stars, then
the Moon and the Sun, next the comets, then the
multitude of stars and constellations, and finally the
bright and dark nebulae. When this tremendous task had
been accomplished Atea took a third husband,
Fa'a-hotu, Make Fruitful. Then occurred a curious
event. Whether Atea had wearied of bringing forth
offspring we are not told, but certain it is that
Atea and her husband Fa'a-hotu exchanged
sexes. Then the eyes of Atea glanced down at
those of his wife Hotu and they begat Ru.
It was this Ru who explored the whole earth and
divided it into north, south, east, and west
