11. To re-capitulate.

From my experiences following the 'reality check' in March 18;

for instance the view from an ideal observatory on Easter Island four days previously (viz. at 03h in AD 2023-03-14 = the 'π day');

it followed that I decided to figure out where Mars would be heading later this spring (AD 2023). Would he follow in a straight line in the normal direction away from the Pleiades as suggested by the diagram? (Instead of his strange previous withershins direction.)

I found out that at 21h in April 14 (4-14) Mars ought to be visible (according to the computer program Cartes du Ciel) at the knee (ε) of the Outstretched (Mebsuta) left leg of Castor which was reaching down into the Milky Way river. Beavers (Castor Fiber) can walk up on dry land but they live down in the water.

Or in the 'upside down' perspective from Easter Esland (at 03h 4-14 AD 2023) where Castor was below Castor:

The G text suggests that also the corresponding star at the leg of Pollux (ζ, Mekbuda) was important. I have early on suggested we should read the G text here 'from left to right' by following the direction of the Sun among the (true) heliacal stars (and not read withershins as Metoro did on side b of the E tablet):

However, the path of Mars towards May 14 (AD 2023) did not lead to the leg but to the region at the head of Pollux. For we have just learned that it was necessary to use the view from Easter Island in order to be able to put the rongorongo glyphs in the G text securely in parallel with the path of Mars speeding along among the fixed stars:

... We have to get used to measuring timespace 'between' from the right ascension positions and not from the declinations (nor from a 2-dimensional star map). The view of the sky from the homeland of the Polynesians in the equatorial belt was different from that of the Europeans up in the north:

It does not matter if we change the observational time on Easter Island from 03h to something else, because Mars, Pollux, and Castor will always be practically oriented as if beads on a string ...

... From the fact that the right ascension difference between κ and β was no more than *116.2 (Pollux) - *116.1 (κ) = *0.1 (and because of the projected view of the night sky as observed from Easter Island in May 14 AD 2023), we can conclude that Mars could hardly be located in the next day, and we should therefore identify his place as that of Pollux ...

"SN 1054 is a supernova that was first observed on c. 4 July 1054, and remained visible until c. 6 April 1056. The event was recorded in contemporary Chinese astronomy, and references to it are also found in a later (13th-century) Japanese document, an in a document from the Islamic world. Furthermore, there are a number of proposed, but doubtful, references from European sources recorded in the 15th century, and perhaps a pictograph associated with the ancestral Puebloan culture found near the Peñasco Blanco site in New Mexico, United States."

... Menkaure was allegedly a much more benevolent Pharaoh than his predecessors. According to legends related by Herodotus, he wrote the following: This Prince (Mycerinus) disapproved of the conduct of his father, reopened the temples and allowed the people, who were ground down to the lowest point of misery, to return to their occupations and to resume the practice of sacrifice. His justice in the decision of causes was beyond that of all the former kings. The Egyptians praise him in this respect more highly than any other monarchs, declaring that he not only gave his judgements with fairness, but also, when anyone was dissatisfied with his sentence, made compensation to him out of his own purse and thus pacified his anger. The Gods however ordained that Egypt should suffer tyrannical rulers for a hundred and fifty years according to this legend. Herodotus goes on: An oracle reached him from the town of Buto, which said 'six years only shalt thou live upon this earth, and in the seventh thou shalt end thy days'. Mycerinus, indignant, sent an angry message to the oracle, reproaching the god with his injustice - 'My father and uncle,' he said 'though they shut up the temples, took no thought of the gods and destroyed multitudes of men, nevertheless enjoyed a long life; I, who am pious, am to die soon!' There came in reply a second message from the oracle - 'for this very reason is thy life brought so quickly to a close - thou hast not done as it behoved thee. Egypt was fated to suffer affliction one hundred and fifty years - the two kings who preceded thee upon the throne understood this - thou hast not understood it'. Mycerinus, when this answer reached him, perceiving that his doom was fixed, had lamps prepared, which he lighted every day at eventime, and feasted and enjoyed himself unceasingly both day and night, moving about in the marsh-country and the woods, and visiting all the places he heard were agreeable sojourns. His wish was to prove the oracle false, by turning night into days and so living twelve years in the space of six ...
