140. Before the 2nd Word had been
spoken there was no room for the Bacabob. Not until the Sun had
securely left the horizon in the east could
string games be
resumed.
...
string games
could be resumed after it was clear that the Sun had managed to
leave the horizon and was rapidly gaining in altitude: 'Before
the sun starts to leave the horizon ... when it shows only on
the horizon, ... then string games were no longer allowed as
they might lacerate the sun. Once the sun had started to go
higher and could be seen in its entirety, string games could be
resumed, if one so wished. So the restriction on playing string
games was only applicable during the period between the sun's
return and its rising fully above the horizon ...
... Among the multitude of
gods worshipped by these people [the Maya]
were four whom they called by the name Bacab. These were, they say, four
brothers placed by God when he created the
world at its four corners to sustain the
heavens lest they fall
. . In the ms.
Ritual of
the Bacabs, the cantul kuob [the suffix '-ob'
indicates plural], cantul bacabob, the four gods, the
four bacabs, occur constantly in the incantations, with the four
colors, four directions, and their various names and offices ...
In April 25 (115) at midnight the
Chorti diviners were raising their
square sky:
... Later on in this series of rituals,
the Chorti go through a ceremony they call raising
the sky. This ritual takes place at midnight on the
twenty-fifth of April and continues each night until the
rains arrive. In this ceremony two diviners and their wives
sit on benches so that they occupy the corner positions of
the cosmic square. They take their seats in the same order
as the stones were placed, with the men on the eastern side
and the women on the west. The ritual actions of sitting
down and lifting upward are done with great precision and
care, because they are directly related to the actions done
by the gods at Creation. The people represent the gods of
the four corners and the clouds that cover the earth. As
they rise from their seats, they metaphorically lift the
sky. If their lifting motion is uneven, the rains will be
irregular and harmful ...
Half a year later, we could expect, the
cosmic square ought to be taken down.
...
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). When
Ira's canoe reached the islets (off the southwestern
coast), Makoi (who was staying behind) shouted the
following (after him): Eight lands (are there), one has been
found (or, an eighth land has been found for the first time,
evaru kainga katahi i revaa), that is, Te Pito O Te
Kainga. During the fast journey, one cannot find the seven
lands in the midst of dim twilight. Once (Easter Island) has
been lost, not even eight groups of people (i.e., countless boat
crews) can find (it) again. - Ruhi to the right, Pu
to the left, necklace around the neck of Hinariru at
Papa O Rae! [E:86]
... After all the food supplies had been brought on land [i
oti era te kai te too mai ki uta], the two rulers [te
ariki arurua], the king and the queen said, 'Drag the canoes
on land and take them apart (so the wood can be used) to build
houses and cover the roofs!' They dragged the two canoes
on land and took them apart. After they had finished
disassembling the canoes, Nuku [Kehu] covered all the houses ...
[E:84]
Kehu (cfr ehu). Hidden; what cannot be seen
because it is covered; he-kehu te raá, said of the sun
when it has sunk below the horizon. Vanaga. Kehu,
hakakehu, to hide, disguise, feint, feign, to lie in wait.

Chief, king, lord,

Hakaariki, to make

id. The Marquesan use
both aiki and
hakaiki in the same
sense; the latter forms
with Mangarevan
akariki a
subordinate couple in
Southeast Polynesia.
Since akariki is
the only form in
Mangareva and the
Marquesas have both we
may regard this as
indicative of the
influence of Mangareva
upon the Marquesas. In
Tonga we find only
eiki; the vowel
change is quite in the
Tongan manner, the
dropping of the liquid
is most unusual; the
eiki form appears
once more in Mangarevan
ataeiki (also a
language in which it is
unusual to drop the
liquid) in the sense 'to
do nothing and to dress
richly in a luxurious
way'. Churchill.
...
The Mahabharata
insists on six as
the number of the
Pleiades as well as of
the mothers of Skanda
and gives a very broad
and wild description of
the birth and the
installation of
Kartikeya 'by the
assembled gods ... as
their generalissimo',
which is shattering,
somehow, driving home
how little one
understands as yet. The
least which can be said,
assuredly: Mars was
'installed' during a
more or less close
conjunction of all
planets; in Mbh. 9.45
(p. 133) it is stressed
that the powerful gods
assembled 'all poured
water upon Skanda,
even as the gods had
poured water on the head
of Varuna, the
lord of waters, for
investing him with
dominion'. And this
'investiture' took place
at the beginning of the
Krita Yuga, the
Golden Age ...

Manuscript E was telling about the past, when
Easter Island had become a part of the Polynesian world.
And
possibly the time frame was that pointed out by the Arabs
for the summer, viz. the era of
Bharani (*41.4).
... And then we can explain the current
(AD 2023) Mars evening December 7 (80 + 260 + 1 = 341 → 300
+ 41) as a reference to the Era of Bharani (41 Tauri), which
I early on in these investigations (explorations) had
determined to be at a precessional time depth of *41 right
ascension days ...
The Chorti, in contrast, were beginning their ceremony
for raising the sky roof at midnight in the present
day of April 25. And the star culminations (at 21h) could
serve as a bridge across to the Golden Age of the Bull.
In my list for star culminations Alkes is in April 20
and Denebola in May 3. A straight forward interpolation
will lead us to the midnight between FEBRUARY 20 and
21 corresponding to the midnight between April
25 and 26. In the nakshatra night the Full Moon would
ideally be seen at the right ascension place where
Fomalhaut culminated, i.e. at the place for October
