169. We should now count the numbers in order to add the date August 23 in my table for the planet Mars in AD 2023:

... The Sacred Book of the ancient Maya Quiche, the famous Popol Vuh (the Book of Counsel) tells of Zipacna, son of Vucub-Caquix (= Seven Arata). He sees 400 youths dragging a huge log that they want as a ridgepole for their house. Zipacna alone carries the tree without effort to the spot where a hole has been dug for the post to support the ridgepole. The youths, jealous and afraid, try to kill Zipacna by crushing him in the hole, but he escapes and brings down the house on their heads. They are removed to the sky, in a 'group', and the Pleiades are called after them ...

My method should be to rely on the position of the star β Virginis, because it is very close to the position of Mars. The right ascension date for Alaraph (β Virginis) - according to Cartes du Ciel compared to its place according to my assumed era for rongorongo - can be used in order to securely document the place of Mars AD 2023:

... On February 9 the Chorti Ah K'in, 'diviners', begin the agricultural year. Both the 260-day cycle and the solar year are used in setting dates for religious and agricultural ceremonies, especially when those rituals fall at the same time in both calendars. The ceremony begins when the diviners go to a sacred spring where they choose five stones with the proper shape and color. These stones will mark the five positions of the sacred cosmogram created by the ritual. When the stones are brought back to the ceremonial house, two diviners start the ritual by placing the stones on a table in a careful pattern that reproduces the schematic of the universe. At the same time, helpers under the table replace last year's diagram with the new one. They believe that by placing the cosmic diagram under the base of God at the center of the world they demonstrate that God dominates the universe. The priests place the stones in a very particular order. First the stone that corresponds to the sun in the eastern, sunrise position of summer solstice is set down; then the stone corresponding to the western, sunset position of the same solstice. This is followed by stones representing the western, sunset position of the winter solstice, then its eastern, sunrise position. Together these four stones form a square. They sit at the four corners of the square just as we saw in the Creation story from the Classic period and in the Popol Vuh. Finally, the center stone is placed to form the ancient five-point sign modern researchers called the quincunx ...

how the right ascension for Mars (J2000 RA: 8h22m52.75s) in April 25 AD 2025 was compared with that for the star Alterf (J2000 RA: 8h16m30.90s) and the difference (06m21.85s) then transformed into the corresponding difference in right ascension days (06m21.85s / 1440 * 365.25 = 1.614). Therefore we had to add 2 right ascension days to the date August 11 (223, *143) according to my assumed era for rongorongo. August 11 (223) + 2 = August 13 (225, *145). In the Golden Era of the Bull, it could be extrapolated, the star Ukdah (*145.4, 225) would have risen heliacally 64 days later in the year, viz. in day 225 - 64 = 161 (JUNE 10).

Let's now do the corresponding calculations for the place of Mars in August 23 AD 2023:

Mars AD 2023

Aug 23 (235)

J2000 RA: 11h51m06.59s

60.00s - 41.70s + 06.59s = 24.89s = 0.4148m

0.415m / 1440 * 365.25 = 0.105

This will then allow us to update my overview table:
