96. Once again. Many pieces of the great puzzle are finding their proper places if we consider the 16-day gap from the true heliacal dates of the stars to the dates when they once upon a time would have returned to visibility as heliacal stars. For instance:

... APRIL 19 (109) - 16 = 93 and *93 = June 22 (173) = 64 + APRIL 19 (109) = 80 + APRIL 3 (*13) ...

... In China, every year about the beginning of April, certain officials called Sz'hüen used of old to go about the country armed with wooden clappers. Their business was to summon the people and command them to put out every fire. This was the beginning of the season called Han-shih-tsieh, or 'eating of cold food'. For three days all household fires remained extinct as a preparation for the solemn renewal of the fire, which took place on the fifth or sixth day after the winter solstice [Sic!] ...

Since the time of the Bull the fixed stars had moved ahead with 64 right ascension days but 16 more days had to be added in order to reach the ancient dates which at that time had been defined as heliacal.

December 21 (355) + 6 = 361 (December 27, at the renewal of the celestial fire) = APRIL 18 (108) - 183 = 366 + 108 - 183 = 291 (OCTOBER 18) = December 21 (355) - 64:

... The ubiquitous 288 was also (cfr JANUARY 3) the day number the Pope Gregory XIII had decided on for launching his new calendar:

... 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) ...

But at the time of rongorongo - after the precession had corrected his error in not going all the way down to Caesar, only down to 325 AD (the Council of Nicaea)  - day 288 (= 325 - 37) had become the proper place for Antares to rise with the Sun. Tangaroa Uri 15 ("October 15) was when the Royal Double Canoe was reaching Easter Island.

... 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 ...

The yellow urine was an excellent fertilizer and a beckoning sign for the Sun King.

"Ira, Raparenga, Uure, Nonoma, and Ringiringi got up and left the 'Dark abyss of Hau Maka' (i.e., Rano Kau), arrived at Hanga Te Pau, put the canoe into the water, and sailed off to Hiva, to Maori. Ira left on the twenty-fifth day of the month of October (Tangaroa Uri)." (E:86)

 ... It is known that in the final battle of the gods, the massed legions on the side of 'order' are the dead warriors, the 'Einherier' who once fell in combat on earth and who have been transferred by the Valkyries to reside with Odin in Valhalla - a theme much rehearsed in heroic poetry. On the last day, they issue forth to battle in martial array. Says Grimnismal (23): 'Five hundred gates and forty more - are in the mighty building of Walhalla - eight hundred 'Einherier' come out of each one gate - on the time they go out on defence against the Wolf.' That makes 432,000 in all, a number of significance from of old. This number must have had a very ancient meaning, for it is also the number of syllables in the Rigveda. But it goes back to the basic figure 10,800, the number of stanzas in the Rigveda (40 syllables to a stanza) [40 * 270 = 10800] which, together with 108, occurs insistently in Indian tradition, 10,800 is also the number which has been given by Heraclitus for the duration of the Aiōn, according to Censorinus (De die natali, 18), whereas Berossos made the Babylonian Great Year to last 432,000 years. Again, 10,800 is the number of bricks of the Indian fire-altar (Agnicayana). 'To quibble away such a coincidence', remarks Schröder, 'or to ascribe it to chance, is in my opinion to drive skepticism beyond its limits.'

Shall one add Angkor to the list? It has five gates, and to each of them leads a road, bridging over that water ditch which surrounds the whole place. Each of these roads is bordered by a row of huge stone figures, 108 per avenue, 54 on each side, altogether 540 statues of Deva and Asura, and each row carries a huge Naga serpent with nine heads. Only, they do not 'carry' that serpent, they are shown to 'pull' it, which indicates that these 540 statues are churning the Milky Ocean, represented (poorly, indeed) by the water ditch, using Mount Mandara as a churning staff, and Vasuki, the prince of the Nagas, as their drilling rope. (Just to prevent misunderstanding: Vasuki had been asked before, and had agreeably consented, and so had Vishnu's tortoise avatar, who was going to serve as the fixed base for that 'incomparably mighty churn', and even the Milky Ocean itself had made it clear that it was willing to be churned.)

The 'incomparably mighty churn' of the Sea of Milk, as described in the Mahabharata and Ramayana. The heads of the deities on the right are the Asura, with unmistakable 'Typhonian' characteristics. They stand for the same power as the Titans, the Turanians, and the people of Untamo, is short, the 'family' of the bad uncle, among whom Seth is the oldest representative, pitted against Horus, the avenger of his father Osiris.

The simplified version of the Amritamanthana (or Churning of the Milky Ocean) still shows Mount Mandara used as a pivot or churning stick, resting on the tortoise. And here, also, the head on the right has 'Typhonian' features. The whole of Angkor thus turns out to be a colossal model set up for 'alternative motion' with true Hindu fantasy and incongruousness to counter the idea of a continuous one-way Precession from west to east ...

* Campbell has 28,000 here, which, however, does not agree with the sum 456,000.
28800 = 10800 + 18000,   46800 = 10800 + 36000,   and 64800 = 10800 + 54000.
