On Easter Island Tangarua Uri corresponded to the spring month "April north of the equator. In "October 27 the toromiro tree was growing - tupu te toromiro - a specimen who was in the sweet water (of Rano Kau), kua noho te vai.

... On Easter Island all the trees were gone and the mana had fled, but in Rano Kau there was still an old and dying stump of Sophora Toromiro, the few seeds of which were saved and brought to the Botanical Garden in Gothenburg, where 3 new trees with flowers and new seeds grew up ...

The Toromiro tree was located 185 days after Cursa and 183 days after Rigel and Capella, i.e. 184 days after the corresponding celestial 'tree' north of the equator (also said to thrive in water, μ).

The Sun king (Hotu A Matua) arrived to Easter Island in Tangaroa Uri 15 (288 = 2 * 144) which corresponded to °November 21 (325 = 288 + 37) in the Gregorian calendar, the day when at the time of the Pope the Sun had reached Antares. The earlier Julian calendar distance 26 days was expanded by Gregory XIII to 37 days:

... The Julian calendar day Thursday, 4 October 1582 was followed by the first day of the Gregorian calendar, Friday, 15 October 1582 (the cycle of weekdays was not affected) ...

This we have established from the G text, but not until now has it been revealed that the Julian calendar date 10 November (314) in the year 1582 AD was at heliacal Antares. 325 (°November 21) - 314 (10 November) = 11 = °October 15 (288) - 4 October (277).

... The canoes of Ava Rei Pua and of Hotu were seen near the (off-shore) islets. On the fifteenth day of the month of October (tangaroa uri) the canoe of Hotu and the canoe of Ava Rei Pua landed. On the fifteenth day of the month of October (tangaroa uri), Nonoma left the house during the night to urinate outside. At this point Ira called out to Nonoma, 'Look at the canoe!' Nonoma ran, he quickly went to Te Hikinga Heru (a ravine in the side of the crater Rano Kau) and looked around. There he saw the double canoe way out near the (offshore) islets, and the two (hulls of the canoe) were lashed together. He ran and returned to the front of the house. He arrived and called into the house: 'Hey you! This canoe has arrived during the night without our noticing it!' Ira asked Nonoma, 'Where is the canoe, which you say is lying out there (in the water)?' Nonoma's voice came back: 'It is out there (in the water) close to the (offshore) islets! There it lies, and the two (hulls) are lashed together.' The four of them (corrected for 'the six of them') went out and picked up leaves (on branches) to give signals. They picked them up, went and arrived at Te Hikinga and saw the canoe. Raparenga got up, picked up the leaves, took them in his hands, and waved, waved, waved, waved ...

... When the Pope Gregory XIII updated the Julian calendar he did not revise what had gone wrong before 325 AD (when the Council of Nicaea was held). Thus the stars were still 3-4 days 'out of tune' compared to the new calendar ... the Gregorian 'canoe' was 'crooked'. His calendar was not in perfect alignment with the ancient star structure. Because he had avoided to adjust with the effects of the precession between the creation of the Julian calendar and the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. [The Julian equinox was in the 3rd month of the year and in its 25th day; 3-25.]

The sea voyage of the King did not take 37 days but was 6 days longer:

... When Hotu A Matua reached Easter Island in "October 15 (288) this was not 37 but 43 days after his departure from his old homeland. 288 - 43 = 245 (= 490 / 2) = "September 2. However, Nonoma (Jupiter) was out in the night urinating:

... 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 ...

Barthel's comment regarding tapairu (queen) as incorrectly not being a king (ariki) is slightly amusing, as the king changed his 'sex' (his inclination) just before Hora Nui 2, at which point he (the 'old eagle') had started to behave like a female (a 'fish') - being drawn down instead of forcing himself upwards.

... It is an interesting fact, although one little commented upon, that myths involving a canoe journey, whether they originate from the Athapaskan and north-western Salish, the Iroquois and north-eastern Algonquin, or the Amazonian tribes, are very explicit about the respective places allocated to passengers. In the case of maritime, lake-dwelling or river-dwelling tribes, the fact can be explained, in the first instance, by the importance they attach to anything connected with navigation: 'Literally and symbolically,' notes Goldman ... referring to the Cubeo of the Uaupés basin, 'the river is a binding thread for the people. It is a source of emergence and the path along which the ancestors had travelled. It contains in its place names genealogical as well as mythological references, the latter at the petroglyphs in particular.' A little further on ... the same observer adds: 'The most important position in the canoe are those of stroke and steersman. A woman travelling with men always steers, because that is the lighter work. She may even nurse her child while steering ... On a long journey the prowsman or stroke is always the strongest man, while a woman, or the weakest or oldest man is at the helm ...

When the Sun became old and less powerful in the afternoon his position should be at the helm.

43 (= 80 - 37) was in order to change from right ascension days (counted from 0h) to Gregorian calendar days and simultaneously to change from the time frame of Bharani to that of the Pope (*41 - 4 = *37).

In Manuscript E the white and very clean beach waiting for the king (Oromanga) was his place for 'changing sex' - this was where the Turtle had broken the spine of Kuukuu (Mars). From Sirius at Rangi Meamea (JUNE 30) in Anakena 23 (204 = 408 / 2 = 181 + 64 - 41) to Mimosa (*192) in Hora Iti 19 the beach of Oromanga stretched for 27 days (from Alkes to Mimosa):

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. On the twenty-third day of the month of July ('Anakena'), they reached Rangi Meamea.

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 significantly without the addition of A Hau Maka - which had been added by the kuhane of Hau Maka.]

The Fig Tree where Raven was delayed seems to refer to the place of Zosma and Coxa (Cb6-27), where the sex of Atea changed from female to male:

... 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!' ...
