104. Basically the G text seems to refer to
the Golden Age of the Bull, because the
beginning of side
a of the tablet evidently corresponds to MARCH 21.
Assuming a steady and uninterrupted
sequence of glyphs - each one corresponding to a right ascension day -.glyph number
301 (Gb3-11) will therefore correspond to JANUARY 16 (*301),
which in a way should be the same day as March 21 (16 + 64 = 80) because
they
anciently waited 16 days from the true heliacal day to the
day when the relevant star ideally would return to
visibility late at night. Thus the precessional time depth down from
my assumed era for rongorongo to the era of Taurus ought to
be *16
precessional days. 64 / 365.25 * 26000 (anciently perceived as the ideal precessional
cycle) = AD 1842 AD + 2714 BC.

In other words, due to the precession we ought to find
the glyph corresponding to January 16 (*301) at glyph
number 301 (Gb3-11) - 64 = 237 (Gb1-8):

We will then realize that January 8 (365 + 8 = 373
→ 400 - 27) should be 6
glyphs before Gb1-6, which means January 8 (14 - 6) ought to
correspond to the
last glyph on
side a, viz. to Ga8-26 (229 = 235 - 8).
Looking in the opposite direction, ahead beyond Gb1-8, we will
find the Goat (Gredi) 6 days later, at January (16 + 6) =
January 22 (365 + 22 = 387, *307):.
... About Carmenta we know from the
historian Dionysus Periergetis that she gave orcales to
Hercules and lived to the age of 110 years. 110 was a
canonical number, the ideal age which every Egyptian
wished to reach and the age at which, for example, the
patriarch Joseph died. The 110 years were made up of
twenty-two Etruscan lustra of five years each;
and 110 years composed the 'cycle' taken over from the
Etruscans by the Romans. At the end of each cycle they
corrected irregularities in the solar calendar by
intercalation and held Secular Games. The secret sense
of 22 - sacred numbers were never chosen haphazardly -
is that it is the measure of the circumference of the
circle when the diameter is 7. This proportion, now
known as pi, is no longer a religious secret; and
is used today only as a rule-of-thumb formula, the real
mathematical value of pi being a decimal figure
which nobody has yet been able work out because it goes
on without ever ending, as 22 / 7 does, in a neat
recurring sequence [3.142857142857 ...]. Seven lustra
add up to thirty-five years, and thirty-five at Rome was
the age at which a man was held to reach his prime and
might be elected Consul. (The same age was fixed upon by
a Classically-minded Convention as the earliest at which
an American might be elected President of the United
States.) ...

Should we use the ancient view from the Golden
Age of the Bull the pair of figures illustrating
DECEMBER 30-31 might be judged as reasonable:
These 5 people are all up in the air and we should notice
for instance the peculiar design with the
horns of the golden calf at the nipple of the breast of the
golden woman.

Intertwined with this perspective - presumably
locked to the positions of the fixed stars in the night -
we should look for glyphs which could be linked to the
current positions of the Sun, and then March 21 (80
↔ 400 - 320) and
April 1 (91↔ 364 / 2)
ought to be of interest. Indeed the Rogo
(Lono) figure at Gb6-26 can be perceived as alluding to the
Old Woman in the Corner who did not move because she was
all stone from her waist down:
... He had not seen the old woman
watching him from the corner - the one who never
slept and who never moved because she was stone from
the waist down ...

And then we can suspect the Rogo figure at
JANUARY 20 (385, *305) could represent the Julian
spring equinox:
... In
the deep night before the image [of Lono] is
first seen, there is a Makahiki ceremony
called 'splashing-water' (hi'uwai). Kepelino
tells of sacred chiefs being carried to the water
where the people in their finery are bathing; in the
excitement created by the beauty of their attire,
'one person was attracted to another, and the
result', says this convert to Catholicism, 'was by
no means good' ...
