32. We need an overview. To begin with it should be mentioned that the shape of Ga7-16 made me early decide as an aziom that it pointed at heliacal Antares, *64 precessional days preceding my assumed era for rongorongo. The straight form of the same creature in Ga1-4 should then correspond to Aldebaran:

Once upon a time the Scales of Libra had been the Claws of the Scorpion:

The first Libra star in my list is μ (*223):

... Behind me, towering almost 100 feet into the air, was a perfect ziggurat, the Temple of Kukulkan. Its four stairways had 91 steps each. Taken together with the top platform, which counted as a further step, the total was 365. This gave the number of complete days in a solar year. In addition, the geometric design and orientation of the ancient structure had been calibrated with Swiss-watch precision to achieve an objective as dramatic as it was esoteric: on the spring and autumn equinoxes, regular as clockwork, triangular patterns of light and shadow combined to create the illusion of a giant serpent undulating on the northern staircase ...

... Alpha's splendor naturally made it an object of worship on the Nile, and its first visible emergence from the sun's rays, in the morning at the autumnal equinox, has been connected by Lockyer with the orientation of at least nine temples in northern Egypt from 3700 B.C. onward. As such [an] object of worship it seems to have been known as Serk-t ...

And the last Libra star in my list is θ (*241):

... The form of the letter θ suggests a midline ('waist'), although the origin of θ is the Phoenician tēth which means 'wheel'. This in turn could have originated from a glyph named 'good' which in Egypt was nfr ...

... θ is the last star in the Ara constellation, and the ancient meaning of this letter was described as a wheel by the Phoenicians but for the Egyptian it meant 'good'. When the wheel of time has come full cycle around and the upside down fire-altar is in the past the times ahead should be good (or lucky Sa'ad) ...

... In other words, the ancient Druidic religion based on the oak-cult will be swept away by Christianity and the door - the god Llyr - will languish forgotten in the Castle of Arianrhod, the Corona Borealis. This helps us to understand the relationship at Rome of Janus and the White Goddess Cardea who is ... the Goddess of Hinges who came to Rome from Alba Longa. She was the hinge on which the year swung - the ancient Latin, not the Etruscan year - and her importance as such is recorded in the Latin adjective cardinalis - as we say in English 'of cardinal importance - which was also applied to the four main winds; for winds were considered as under the sole direction of the Great Goddess until Classical times ...

... Early India knew it [Scorpius] as Āli, Viçrika, or Vrouchicam, - in Tamil, Vrishaman; but later on Varāha Mihira said Kaurpya, and Al Birūni, Kaurba, both from the Greek Scorpios. On the Cingalese zodiac it was Ussika ... Taurus was the Cingalese Urusaba, the early Hindu Vrisha, Vrishan, or Vrouchabam, - in the Tamil tongue, Rishabam; but subsequently Varāha Mihira gave it as Taouri, his rendering of Taurus, and Al Birūni, in his India, as Tāmbiru ...

From this overview it seems reasonable to find the planet Mars in AD 2023 not at heliacal Antares (*249) but instead in the day before the true autumn star Vrischika, π Scorpii, viz. at λ Librae (*240.0) in the day before θ Librae:

... The stability of the ecliptical cosmos gives us reason to expect Mars could reach Antares (*249) around 22 days after November 3 AD 2023 (*227) ...

I should instead have written '... reason to expect Mars around 22 days after November 3 AD 2023 (*227) will reach November 25 (329) ...'. Because in the G text and according to my asssumed era for rongorongo heliacal Antares was located at November 25.

... 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.) ...
