But we had better first return to see where the Explorers went after they had left Oromanga with the severely injured Kuukuu inside a cave and with 6 heaps of stones outside. By counting to 27 days ahead  from Sirius in JUNE  30 we will reach day 128 (= 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2, or in binary code: day number 1000000) in JULY 27 (as in 2 times itself 7 times).

They climbed uphill, went on, and reached Poike. When they arrived, they looked around and named (the place) Poike A Hau Maka.

They climbed up farther to Pua Katiki. When they arrived there, they looked around and named (the place) Pua Katiki A Hau Maka.

They came down from the height, from the mountain, from Pua Katiki, and reached Maunga Teatea. They looked around and gave the name Maunga Teatea A Hau Maka.

They all descended, they all came down from Pua Katiki. They reached Mahatua, saw it, looked around, and gave the name Mahatua A Hau Maka.

Then they went on and came to Taharoa. They saw it, looked around, and gave the name Taharoa A Hau Maka.

Again they went on and reached Hanga Hoonu. They saw it, looked around, and gave the name Hanga Hoonu A Hau Maka ... They remained in Hanga Hoonu for five days.

When they arrived there, they looked around and gave the name Rangi Meamea A Hau Maka.

They also named the mountain Peke Tau O Hiti A Hau Maka.

They went around to the other side of the mountain Hau Epa, looked around, and gave the name Hau Epa A Hau Maka.

When he (i.e. Ira) saw that the beach was white and clean, he said, 'Hey , you! Here is the plain where the kind can live!' They stayed there and surveyed the plain with great care. Ira knew with certainty that it was very good. He named the bay Hanga Moria One and the plain Oromanga. [Though without the addition A Hau Maka - which had been added by the kuhane of Hau Maka.]

... 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 canoe sailed from Maori to Te Pito O Te Kainga. It sailed on the second day of September (hora nui). The canoe of the king (ariki is used here incorrectly for tapairu 'queen'), of Ava Rei Pua, also sailed on the other side. They had attached the canoe of Ava Rei Pua to the middle of the canoe of Hotu ...

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 ...

They all sat down and rested [on the plain of Oromanga], when suddenly they saw that a turtle had reached the shore and had crawled up on the beach. He [Ira] looked at it and said, 'Hey, you! The turtle has come on land!' He said, 'Let's go! Let's go back to the shore.' They all went to pick up the turtle. Ira was the first one to try to lift the turtle - but she didn't move. Then Raparenga said, 'You do not have the necessary ability. Get out of my way so that I can have a try!' Raparenga stepped up and tried to lift the turtle - but Raparenga could not move her. Now you spoke, Kuukuu: 'You don't have the necessary ability, but I shall move this turtle. Get out of my way!' Kuukuu stepped up, picked up the turtle, using all his strength. After he had lifted the turtle a little bit, he pushed her up farther. No sooner had he pushed her up and lifted her completely off the ground when she struck Kuukuu with one fin. She struck downward and broke Kuukuu's spine.The turtle got up, went back into the (sea) water, and swam away. All the kinsmen spoke to you (i.e. Kuukuu): 'Even you did not prevail against the turtle!'

They put the injured Kuukuu on a stretcher and carried him inland. They prepared a soft bed for him in the cave and let him rest there. They stayed there, rested, and lamented the severely injured Kuukuu. Kuukuu said, 'Promise me, my friends, that you will not abandon me!' They all replied, 'We could never abandon you!' They stayed there twenty-seven days in Oromanga. Everytime Kuukuu asked, 'Where are you, friends?' they immediately replied in one voice, 'Here we are!' They all sat down and thought. They had an idea and Ira spoke, 'Hey, you! Bring the round stones (from the shore) and pile them into six heaps of stones!' One of the youths said to Ira, 'Why do we want heaps of stone?' Ira replied, 'So that we can all ask the stones to do something.' They took (the material) for the stone heaps (pipi horeko) and piled up six heaps of stone at the outer edge of the cave. Then they all said to the stone heaps, 'Whenever he calls, whenever he calls for us, let your voices rush (to him) instead of the six (of us) (i.e., the six stone heaps are supposed to be substitutes for the youths). They all drew back to profit (from the deception) (? ki honui) and listened. A short while later, Kuukuu called. As soon as he had asked, 'Where are you?' the voices of the stone heaps replied, 'Here we are!' All (the youths) said, 'Hey, you! That was well done!' ...

Benetnash was the name for the leader of the mourning maidens at the bier:

... The name [Benetnash] derives from the Arabic phrase meaning 'The leader of the daughters of the bier'. The daughters of the bier, i.e. the mourning maidens, are the three stars of the handle of the Big Dipper, Alkaid, Mizar, and Alioth; while the four stars of the bowl, Megrez, Phecda, Merak, and Dubhe, are the bier ...

... They put the injured Kuukuu on a stretcher and carried him inland. They prepared a soft bed for him in the cave and let him rest there. They stayed there, rested, and lamented the severely injured Kuukuu. Kuukuu said, 'Promise me, my friends, that you will not abandon me!' They all replied, 'We could never abandon you!' They stayed there twenty-seven days in Oromanga. Everytime Kuukuu asked, 'Where are you, friends?' they immediately replied in one voice, 'Here we are!' They all sat down and thought. They had an idea and Ira spoke, 'Hey, you! Bring the round stones (from the shore) and pile them into six heaps of stones!' One of the youths said to Ira, 'Why do we want heaps of stone?' Ira replied, 'So that we can all ask the stones to do something.' They took (the material) for the stone heaps (pipi horeko) and piled up six heaps of stone at the outer edge of the cave. Then they all said to the stone heaps, 'Whenever he calls, whenever he calls for us, let your voices rush (to him) instead of the six (of us) (i.e., the six stone heaps are supposed to be substitutes for the youths). They all drew back to profit (from the deception) (? ki honui) and listened. A short while later, Kuukuu called. As soon as he had asked, 'Where are you?' the voices of the stone heaps replied, 'Here we are!' All (the youths) said, 'Hey, you! That was well done!' ...

Alioth (ε Ursae Majoris) was one of the 3 mourning maidens (not 6 men as those who were outside the cave of Kuukuu). The spear (vero) at Porrima had hit its target, therefore a stretcher was needed. The victim had to go the path downwards:
