More lost knowledge from ancient Egypt

knowledge from ancient Egypt
Lost pyramid of the Giza Plateau, hidden chambers in the Great Pyramid,
the riddle of the Sphinx, the place of the cross and the skull, and crossing
the circle. - Written by Thomas Roed Jakobsen
And since the first written evidence of distinctive Hebrew, the Gezer
calendar, dates back to the 10th century BCE, one cannot exclude, that someone
did in fact deliberately incorporate the phonetics of Rosh Tav into Hebrew (Source
regarding facts on written Hebrew:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HebrewOrigins_of_Hebrew)
This leaves the possibility that Moses and/or other Jews did infact have this
information, and knowing its immense symbolic meaning, incorporated the skull
and the cross in to the very phonetic fabric of the Hebrew language.
But could Moses or other Jews really have had this very special - presumably
secret - knowledge about the initiatory nature of the Giza Plateau ? Maybe yes.
In recent years the author Ove von Spaeth
has claimed in his books that Moses was indeed a historical person and a highly
educated Egyptian prince, and a prospective heir to the Egyptian throne. A
pharaoh in spe! See http://www.moses-egypt.net/book-series/moses_survey_en.asp

The doubts on Jerusalem as the chosen cultic place
Historical conflicts about being the chosen sacred site
In the journal "Israel Opinion" (September, 2008), Dr. Mordechai Kedar, The Dept
of Arabic Studies at Bar-llan University wrote an article: "The myth of al-Aqsa"
(cf. publishing on the Web 09.15.08, 00:47
http://nicedeb.wordpress.com/2008/06/18/zionist-appears-on-al-jazeera-says-jerusalem-belongs-to-the-jews-period/),
with also this information:
"... In 682 CE, Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr rebelled against the Islamic rulers in
Damascus, conquered Mecca, and prevented pilgrims from reaching Mecca for the
Hajj. Abd al-Malik, the Umayyad Calif, needed an alternative site for the
pilgrimage and settled on Jerusalem which was then under his control. Califs of
the Ummayad dynasty invented many "traditions" upholding the value of Jerusalem
..."
However, Kedar's text
includes also some substance of a more politically colored targets, and a
debating reader wrote concerning the article - and also drew attention to the
fact that no religion has a spotless record in the past - that:
"... The Jews stole it (Jerusalem) from the Jebusites after they broke the
covenant between Abraham and the Jebusites - an agreement that the Jews would
not take Jerusalem from them! ..."
Already, from
Ove von Spaeth's
book-series, "Assassinag Moses", I got to knew some essence of these
historical facts - and it is described very, very well there, in my opinion.
So it would be
appropriate to present the following text from Ove von
Spaeth's book, "The Secret Religion", on the Web - contributing to a
better focus on what often is wrongly considered myths and illusion in the
history of some of the most widespread religions:
Religions' myths concerning their history
"... A conflict was still present at the time of Jesus concerning that
Moses, according to the Bible, had designated Mount Gerizim (in the current
Samaria) as the main center of the religion and country, while later priests
and also the king David and king Solomon selected the Mount Zion. Also this
appears when The Gospel of John tells (4:21) about a woman at Jacob's well
near Gerizim, who had doubts about whether Jerusalem or Gerizim was the
right sacred place, and that Jesus replied to her:
"... the hour cometh, and now is, when ye shall neither in this mountain nor
yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father ... etc."
A thousand years after
King David's time the priesthood of Jerusalem appears continuing to be the
prominent group, and Jesus opposed the religious monopoly of these probable
descendants of the old powerful priestly clan. With their success during
Herod the Great the priests are still called - from the early high priest
Zadok's name - the Sadduceans.
In Jerusalem the priest's
religious monopoly of power was thus sustained at time of Jesus' time, when
he was in strong opposition to the Sadduceans (in addition to the High
Priest, who even was a Hasmodean). - Cf. Jesus' parable about "the poor
servant who buried his pound (i.e., belief and knowledge) instead of making
useful, and multiply it". Jesus has, in contrast, highlighted the Samaritan
("the merciful Samaritan" etc.) who seemed to have better maintained "the
right legacy".
The hidden conflict of
Gerizim vs. Zion is in principle similar to the later hidden change of
placement by moving Jesus' birthplace Bethlehem, 7 km from Nazareth in the
north, down to the second Bethlehem, referred to as "David's city", 19 km
south of Jerusalem. About when this was included in the text, is not known.
Before 325 AD many Christians might have focused less on where the site was
- and yet, they had in the northern city of these Bethlehem-s build the
biggest Christian church in the entire Palestine of that time (ca. 2008 this
church's enormous mosaic floor was excavated). But focus was changed after
the year of 325 when Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great,
had carried out that a certain cave - previously used by an Adam-cult in
Bethlehem in Judea - now was to be "the cave where Jesus was born".
In weekly magazine "al
Qahira" ('MENA'), 5th August 2003, published by the Egyptian Ministry of
Culture, the author Ahmad Mohammad Arafa referenced to the of "Jerusalem's
holy status" in Islam: according to Quran sura 17:1 the Prophet Mohammed
went on his journey during the night, from the holy masjada, 'pray
place, mosque', (in Mecca) to al aqsa, 'the farthest' (near Medinah).
Not one word about Jerusalem, which is not mentioned at all in the entire
Quran. Islamic sites of prayer were found only in Mecca and Jatrib (Medina).
Only decades after his
death Mohammed got supporters in Palestine, and they did not make Jerusalem
but Ramlah being the capital, and only as long as 50 years after Mohammed -
especially because of foreign policy - Jerusalem got its first mosque. This
was already to be read in "Kitab al-Maghazi", which is the among the Muslims
always recognized book written by the famous Islamic historian and
geographer al-Waqidi (747-823 AD).
In modern-day Jerusalem
the visiting Christians are taking a walk in order to follow how "Jesus was
walking" on a road later claimed to be his route, however, it was built 100
years after Jesus. The Temple's removal og the destruction of Jerusalem in
the year 70 was the first decisive push to spread Christianity. - If the
religious center, which is the Mount Zion to Jews, Christians and Islamists,
is not the place designated by Moses, the site may well have symbolic
importance in the religions - but unforeseeable prospects, when taken
historical literally. ..."

Exciting and amazing piece of research work
Concerning Ove von Spaeth's articles about the Knights Templar, for example.:
"The Knights Templar knowledge from Egypt" and
"The Knights Templar and Moses' hidden treasure":
http://www.moses-egypt.net/zenith-files_en/e-books_group2_en.asp following comments
might be of some interest:
_
After the reading, first and foremost: Thank you so much. Wow, how exciting it is
when reading a fantastic piece of research work. I am very, very positive about
what I've read here. It is extremely interesting.
The banking
system established by the Knights Templar is mentioned, and it is simply as
exciting and groundbreaking, both in time of the Knights Templar and with the threads throughout history
- that even further details would be
very welcome.
Regarding Moses
and the Jerusalem temple archives' documents about his design of the ancient
crane machines - I got the idea when I read it that it might be connected to
the unresolved mystery of how on earth the stones on were stacked on the
pyramids. I have read scores of theories. But none has probably definitely
come through. In other words, in connection with Moses it would be
interesting with even more information about the crane machines.
Also harvesting machine
in antiquity is mentioned. For me as a reader, it would be interesting to know
in some extra detail
precisely how it worked.
I am very pleased with the
article's view concerning the importance of Bernard of Clairvaux. I worked a lot with
studying his
character and personality, when I was at the university.
Knighthood and
Charlemagne - yes, it was more firmly anchored under this king. But in my
opinion, the first steps to knighthood were taken during the reign of Charles Martel ('the
Hammer') in
connection with the defense against the Muslim invasion via Spain. I am
referring to the battle of Poitiers.
The ancient tradition of
other layers of messages contained in a text, concerns also the Iliad as an
example. It is really exciting reading such as the rhythmic pattern in
certain songs. However, there is a consideration, we have to make in
connection with Homer. There is still a common view that Homer himself could
hardly have written both the Iliad and Odyssée. The language is so different
in time that it don't seem to be the same author physically. But he may have
adapted earlier texts of different origins.
The usual view is that
the texts were handed over through generations - with the changes that
always happen "along the way". And the very memory was based on that a
singer attached his remembrance to the hexameter structure and the
repetition - until finally the 24 songs were recorded in writing. The songs
also have varying lengths and often end in a strange way - this is according
to some researchers connected with the fact that the copies on which we base
our Iliad and Odyssey, were written on scrolls. When there was more space on
the ancient scrolls, the song was over.

Myths of Judaism hence Christianity and Islam - August 9th, 2012
10:12 By amuhd - Refreshed for HMB.
The assumption that monotheism is intellectually more sophisticated and thus
more advanced an ideology than polytheism has been broadly accepted in the West.
But we have now examined the possible flaws and contradictions in the Abrahamic
Faiths to indicate that the Abrahamic ideologies are as mythical as that of most
of the polytheist religions. In fact, it has been shown that Moses and Judaism
have been based on myths and misinformation and possibly evolved from the
ancient Egyptian pagan religion of Aten and or the cult of pagan Babylonian
Enuma Elish.

Talk:Atenism -
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia edit] Moses The Discovery Channel advocated a position that Moses was an Atenist Prince, and
rebel son of Ramses (and thus not a Jew from the rushes) who killed his brother,
the sub-King, whom would be the Pharoah who drown in the Red Sea... (and thus
not a real Pharoah) ... Should this be integrated into the article and sourced
as an origin for Judaism?
This is a very interesting theory with a fair amount of evidence (including one
of the psalms found engraved inside a tomb) and doesn't seem to be covered at
wikipedia, as far as I can see. I'm going to have a look at the evidence and
come back when I've done enough research. If anyone has any ideas or sources
about this could they comment here and I'll keep it on my watchlist. thanks,

It sounds interesting and I like it since it at least doesn't go into the "Moses
didn't exist" idea. I sounds a little fishy to be because, I might be wrong, but
I think it's based off of some second century AD historian who didn't get his
history correct in other places.
I don't beleive that Exodus ever mentions the
pharoh ever actually leading the effort to catch Moses though. While a bit of an
apologetics book (though I don't understand what's so wrong with defending what
one beleives with evidence since everyone else can do it) Kenneth A. Kitchen
(Egyptologist) gives what I think is the best evidence of the Exodus and he
places it around 1260 BC I think.
That's too late for Moses to be an Atenist but
certainly allows enough space for Akhenaten to be influenced by the Hebrews.
Kitchen's book seems to be part of a dueling triad with Finkelstein's and
Dever's books on the same subject but I've read all three and I would have to
say that the latter two overlook quite a bit of evidence. While not being an
expert in the rest of the Old Testament, being an Egyptologist does give him an
edge over the other two regarding Israel in Egypt and Moses.69.254.76.77 (talk)
05:40, 16 August 2009 (UTC) It is speculative. If any more than
Ove von Spaeth mentions it, it might deserve
mentioning. Till then

that Moses' name in Hebrew is M-Sh-H, not M-S-S. - According to one Jewish
source, Pharaoh's daughter actually named him Minios, which means "drawn
out" in Egyptian, and the name Moshe (Moses) was a Hebrew translation of
that name, just as a Russian immigrant named Ivan might change his name to
the English equivalent, John.
martinpescatore answers: When you refuse to acknowledge
the value of correct liguistic data in a book with a scientific paper of
Griffiths, the great Egyptologist, printed only 55 years ago, - how can it
suddenly be non-trustworthy? But how can you then use the Bible as evidence when
its authors have been dead for more than 2,000 years? In other words: You're
really outdated in this context!
Now, quoting historian Ove von
Spaeth's book "The
Suppressed Record" (1999, updat. reprint 2004) based on his highly
professionally, meticulously research during more than 25 years:
"... In Hebrew, Moses is called Moshe, which according to the
biblical text, word for word, is understood to play on the assumption that
Pharaoh's Daughter named him thus, "because she had drawn him out of the
water".
The biblical text version
by Ezra and his helpers is clear concerning the name Moses, because because
of the well-known fact that the claimed Hebrew play on words is
grammatically impossible - and the originally Egyptian name, Moses (mosis)
cannot be turned into Hebrew.
Almost two thousand years
ago, Josephus, although Jewish, did not accept the impression the Bible
apparently promotes either. He says in several of his works, e.g.
"Antiquitates" (2:228) and "Contra Apionem" (1:226) that the name is
Egyptian. 70 years prior to Josephus, Philo, the Egyptian-Jewish
philosopher, wrote in his biography of Moses, "De Vita Mosis" (1:17), also
that the name is Egyptian. According to both writers the name belonged so
distinctly to this culture that they tried - though less correctly - to
prove that the name was based on an Egyptian pun. And they showed in detail
which Egyptian elements they believed the name contained.
The Egyptologists and
historians specializing in Egypt, e.g. James Henry Breasted, Alan H.
Gardiner, Gwyn J. Griffiths, and Eduard Meyer etc. early have confirmed that
the name Moses was not Hebrew but stems from Egyptian usage.
In addition, the 'Hebrew
Dictionary' ("Jüdisches Lexikon", the Herlitz & Kirschner's editions, still
highly valid and recognized, and never contested. More than 230 Jewish
writers and scholars participated in this important reference work. Each
article signed.) - says on the subject "Moses as a name" that the biblical
influenced explanation concerning the claimed Hebrew name Moshe (Moses)
should mean 'he who is being drawn out of the water', is a misunderstanding:
"... it is completely impossible to harmonize the active form of the Hebrew
word - as Moshe (Moses) can only mean 'he who draws out' ...".
The Hebrew play on words
in the Bible has been created from meshitihua, meaning 'he draws out'
- where consequently "he" cannot indicate that it was Pharaoh's
Daughter who drew him out of the water. Although this, as well as the fact
that the name is Egyptian, is common knowledge to Hebrew students - it is
not reflected in general in the biblical translations or in the history of
religion.
In other words - the
Hebrew biblical text includes an impossible play on words on the name Moses,
all of which means that this cannot have been the idea of the original
narrative. On the contrary, the situation indicates that Pharaoh's Daughter
had ceremonially given the boy the same pharaoh-name as that of her father
and later her husband, i.e. Tuth-mosis, of which this purely Egyptian
name Moses (mosis, i.e. 'child') is the last part.
This abbreviated form -
which was common usage in Egypt - was the one used by this "Son of Pharaoh's
Daughter", though not until later at a strategic opportunity - according to
Manetho, the Egyptian historian, in Alexandria, with access to all important
ancient Egyptian source material.
- To conclude: -
Pharaoh's Daughter is claimed to have named the child Moses based on a
Hebrew play on words, i.e. "I drew him out of the water" - which is a
grammatical impossibility concerning the Moshe (Moses) of the Hebrew
Bible. Also it implies the absurd claim that Pharaoh's Daughter could speak
Hebrew - and leaves the impression that Moses was a Hebrew name, although it
was actually a well-known Egyptian name. ..."

Experts' often contradictory and perhaps religious interests Concretely attempted
annihilation of Moses' identity and work had taken place mainly in three rounds
during the nearly 3,400 years from his time until now. Scholarly it had serious
impact. Moreover, the Moses research was, of course, difficult to carry out on
the basis of a narrow sociological-political history method - and was split
between ideological preferences by several scientific areas (subjects). .
The scientific, but
sometimes contradictory and even with religious interests inside text critical
research, and in philology, history, science, and theology history seemed to
inhibit themselves by prejudice towards more extensive research on the
historical Moses.
When Egyptologists have
assisted historians and theologians' biblical research - and here having had to
use a material colored by biblical perception under those conditions where
Moses' existence has been eroded, - it is understandable that on this already
decided assumed background there could be seen no Egyptian traces of Moses.
The Egyptian priests'
special curse on Moses and the apparent execution of him were meant to destroy
his identity all according to Rabbinical Writings - this seemed in some peculiar
way to have come true. The reduction or destruction of the real Moses has
actually been car¬ried out by three major "attacks"- with one in each of these
epochs:
- The first time it took
place in Egypt where Moses got his identity destroyed (including the destruction
of inscriptions and statues) carried out by enemies among the priesthood and at
the court of political reasons of power. The hitherto undetected and therefore
missing tracks on Moses - especially due to a too late dating of the epoch -
causes many res¬earchers arguing that Moses is a myth figure. .
- The second time done by
the Jews, especially Ezra, often for new political reasons with the religion.
Other Jewish editors carried out additions or changes in the Hebrew Bible both
before and during antiquity. (Later a secure system against changes was
introduced).
- The third time it is
made by many contemporary scientists and theology schools, which - often from
the confusion of lost or corrupted data but also by ignorance or denigration of
known data - claim that Moses is non-existent as both Israelite leader and
Pentateuch author. Scientists then claim that the Moses texts were written by a
dozen writers up to 1,000 years after Moses' time.
The French philosopher
Roland Barthes identified the tendency for that the reader "desires" the author.
Since Moses seems to have strengthened his new religion by highlighting Yahweh
as originator of several great achievements a - perhaps consequent - the missing
supply of personal information about Moses has increased the interest in him as
the writer behind the Pentateuch. But it has also made it extra hard to identify
him.
Changing "fashion
trends"by the views on history being influenced from dialectic materialism and
the inspiration from Freud have taken place in several research fields of
history and theology and have hereby caused a wish of avoiding accusations of
worshipping heroes and of super humans or of fundamentalism. Such researchers
have then also neglected the importance which civilization's key personalities
through time have had to history.
For example, Julius
Caesar conquered 800 cities and 25 nations and was culturally a style creating
writer and had great astronomical knowledge, - and Leonardo da Vinci was both a
genius painter and an advanced inventor, - and Mozart, when 5 years old,
composed music, - and British writer George Bernhard Shaw wrote up to ten
thousand letters and cards in addition to all his plays ... etc. - all this,
when older documentation later has disappeared, will then by literature
accountants be claimed as being "unreliable myths”.
Moses, now removed as a
person and made to be "an invention"has to have existed once and has been
something and done something that was given to people as inheritance and
ownership. Otherwise, history with extraordinary and historically verifiable
data - in the Bible, the Rab¬binical Writings, and by ancient authors and of the
tradition - could not at all have appeared.
Already ancient Greek writer Euphemerus (ca. 300's BC) claimed that the gods in
the myths had once been great men; and also some modern anthropologists,
ethnographers and archaeologists consider that myth heroes in various countries
probably have really existed in history as people of whom the original material
simply has not yet been found.
The stela of Pharaoh
Merneptah (1224-1210 BC) on his victories in Canaan has an inscription: Israel
is beaten. It proves the fact that Israel existed and is not a late "invention"-
and indicates exodus already had taken place.
Neglected references in the biblical texts
Some literary theories
demonstrate being insufficient when it is claimed it was another author or even
were several other authors who wrote the Pentateuch part of the Bible. But
whoever may have authored the texts, the presented facts, findings, and data per
se demonstrate that the core of the contents at least is far more historically
accurate than assumed in many hypotheses from modern theology and religion.
It is stated many times
in the Pentateuch that it is Moses himself who is the author, so if later
amendments and additions may have been made it does not in any way prevent that
Moses wrote the basic texts. . Textual amendments and possible replacements of
older expressions were by the German influenced theological research school and
its later branches were - as mentioned – interpreted as: that all of the text
must therefore come from the more modern expression's own time.
The pharaoh now known as
Tuthmosis II is mentioned in ancient Rabbinical Writings as "stepfather of
Moses" and "husband of Pharaoh's daughter". Ancient Church historian Eusebius of
Caesarea states ("Evangelica Praeparatio", IX) that this pharaoh was the oldest
known case of a suffering from elephantiasis.
The mummy of Pharaoh
Tuthmosis II was found as late as in 1881 (by Maspero) - his skin still shows
signs of a strong affliction resembling elephantiasis - the most severe case
ever seen on any royal mummy!
Facts on the Bible/Torah's own references to Moses as the author a). According
to the "Proverbs"(25:1) the Judean King Hezekiah had the biblical texts copied
and edited and complained about others' earlier interventions with disturbing
changes. This event, already at his time (700 BC in the Bible's chronology),
confirmed the existence of thus even older biblical texts, - as nobody was able
to invent a discovery of alterations in the Bible's oldest texts.
b). The
Bible's "the Books of the Kings"and "the Books of the Chronicles"is disclosing
by the mention of Israelite kings in 900's—600's BC (Including the kings: Asa,
Jehoshafat, Azariah, Hezekiah, as well as Amaziah, Joash and David) whether
these kings followed the Law (Pentateuch) or were abandoning it - and even at
what points. In Wellhausen's opinon the Moses Law was of later date than the
prophets, - but he has never refuted what these biblical texts show about
themselves, namely that they existed at 900 BC as incorporated tradition.
c). In the
Law of Moses appear later deposits from several other Near Eastern traditions
with brutal and primitive methods of punishment and some oversized animal
sacrifices. This too has been taken as proof that Moses and his basic text has
not existed. - But later biblical prophets, for example, "Jeremiah"(23:36) and "Hosea"(6:6)
point out precisely such distortions in the original text. By this the existence
of an even earlier, textual "canonized"tradition this is recognized. . d). The
Bible mentions that "Deuteronomy"("The 5th Book of Moses”) was found - during a
repair of Solomon's temple - deposited in the wall, i.e. walled in, and that it
took place in King Josiah's time, an event usually determined at 622 BC.
- Many researchers claim
this information to be a "fabrication"written after 400 BC. While more moderate
claim that the text just may be from 622 BC - however, all of them without
knowing that it was an even older custom form Egypt to wall in documents at the
temples' foundation: - An inscription by Tuthmosis III from ca. 1460 BC, about
the repair of a then one thousand year old temple in Denderah, mentions a
discovery of a walled in old manuscript of goatskin from Pharaoh Pepi's time
2200 BC (and known already with Egyptologists Brugsch and Naville).
- The contents of the
above mentioned walled in biblical texts therefore must be from a time before
the Temple of Solomon (generally considered built approx. 975 BC) - and thus
from the time when the text's classical Hebrew language was being still in
general use - a fact ignored in research.
e).
According to the Bible, the Rabbinical Writings, Arabic texts, and Jewish
traditions, the priest Ezra (in the 400's BC) edited some parts of the Bible
which he rewrote with revised spelling and a later Hebrew lettering. His own
writings include the Bible's "Books of the Chronicles"to which approximately 20
sources of information are seen in use. For his efforts he was named in the
Jewish scriptures also "the little Moses”. In other words, both the tradition
and the Bible inform us that the older biblical texts at that point of time were
well-established in practice. None of these things have been possible to
disprove.
f). At
least five texts in the Pentateuch refer to that Moses wrote the books' texts.
In 20 out of 27 chapters in the Bible's "Leviticus"("The 3rd Book of Moses”) are
expressing that the text was Yahweh's words spoken to Moses and that he should
communicate them to the people; and this is also a fact "Numbers"("The 4th Book
of Moses") more than 50 times. Further, there are nine respectively eight
similar texts in the "2nd and 5th Book of Moses”.
- Moreover, many passages
in the rest of the Bible refer to Moses as Pentateuch's author: in "the Book of
Joshua”, "the Book of Judges”, "the Books of the Kings"and ”the Book of Malachi”.
People like David, Daniel, Ezra, and Nehemiah - all refer to Moses as the author
in question.
- Furthermore, a parallel
situation exists in the New Testament when Jesus refers - as well as Mark, Luke,
and John all refer - to Moses as the author of the Pentateuch. Jesus also in
directly speech recognizes that Moses was the writer ("Mark" 10:3-412:26 and
"John" 5:46-47). Moreover, the Sadducees recognized Moses' authorship ("Mark"
12:18-19). (But if the "non-Moses-hypothesis" is accepted, those researchers and
theologians who are faithful Christians, ironically, must consider references by
Jesus on the Moses-authorship as fiction).
Obviously, the Bible
cannot confirm the Bible, i.e. itself, as historical evidence but the many
indications can be evaluated rather than dismissed. Researchers cannot disprove
the sources but this does not prevent many of these people requiring the
strongest evidence from their opponents' acceptance of the sources.
When dominating
theological schools often claim Moses as being nonexistent, such should be
naturally be disputed by the fact that "the absence of evidence is not evidence
of absence”.
In my books about the
historical Moses and Egypt, it is through the involved disciplines identified as
concretely possible that strange myth-like episodes in the ancient texts in
reality - though not necessarily every word - could have taken place in the real
world.
In this short overview of archaeological and textual sources with traces of
the historical Moses - was used various texts and data from the author's
book-series "Assassinating Moses".
Monday, December 15, 2008 About Moses ...
I don't know if anyone
else is interested in this topic, but (you may have noticed : ) I have been
immersed (during my spare time) in reading about scientific evidence for a
creator, historical documentation of the events of the Bible, verification that
Christianity is not being a spin-off religion.....etc. - Again, I will say
fascinating. And, I stand in even more awe of our God who has made Himself clear
to those who have a desire to know Him.
Turns out, Moses is a
controversial man, historically speaking. Non-believers who offer answers for
atheism apparently like to quip "there is no historical evidence in ancient
Egyptian record for existence of Moses". Therefore, concluding, God couldn't
exist, heck, even Moses is fictional.
Now, that just made me
curious. What about Moses, Egyptian record of his life, and the significant
events surrounding it?

"... The Egyptians, who
first proved and found out the effects of the heavens, because they dwelt in the
open Champion-fields, where they had continually fair weather, and there were no
vapors sent up from the Earth which might hinder their contemplation of Heaven,
so that they might continually behold the stars in their brightness, did
therefore wholly bestow themselves in the knowledge of heavenly influences.
And whereas others that
were not so diligent as they, stood amazed at the causes of things, these men
referred all to the heavens and the stars, that all things took their destiny
from them, and that the influence of Heaven bare great sway in all generations
and corruptions. And thus observing the motions of the stars to and fro, they
wrought many wonderful things, for this was their resolution, that to certain
hours and set times, there were answerable certain aspects of superior powers,
whereby all things were effected. ..." ~ John Baptist Porta

to develop the ten commandments. The Ugarit texts which some of which are found

Most of the Biblical stories were parts of other religions and beliefs

Senmut Tomb. - "A characteristic feature of the Senmut ceiling is the
astronomically objectionable orientation of the southern panel." The center of
this panel is occupied by the Orion-Sirius group, in which Orion appears west of
Sirius instead of east. "The orientation of the southern panel is such that the
person in the tomb looking at it has to lift his head and face north, not
south." "With the reversed orientation of the south panel, Orion, the most
conspicuous constellation of the southern sky, appeared to be moving eastward,
i.e., in the wrong direction." /Velikovsky: Worlds In
Collision
Hi Chasn, - The best articles and most believable case is your original link: On History: The
Egyptian Star Map and Moses (http://www.moses-egypt.net/star-map/senmut4-history_en.asp).
I start to get worried
when too many conspiracy theories get roped into the picture.
Spaeth has many supporters and few critics
which is encouraging, so I will go with his ideas for the moment.
I think that Nibiru and
Worlds in collision has been debunked. To my knowledge no eminent physicist
supports it so it remains in the realm of myth.
>>>I think that Nibiru and Worlds in collision has been debunked. To my
knowledge no eminent physicist supports it so it remains in the realm of

That well may be. However
there is no denying the implications of Velikovskys historical source material,
and at the end of the day Von Spaeth is
leaning on Velikovsky's research quite gratituously, whilst at the same time
appearing to debunk it. I would agree he (Velikovsky) has not got the whole of
the facts in order, however his take on the Senmut tomb is practically identical
to my own understandings of the star-map, i.e. the positioning of Orion-Sirius
group.
Von Spaeth also appears to give credence to similar observations.
Have you actually read 'Worlds In Collision', Azoth?
Are you proposing Draco and Vega as a possible astronomical basis for the
"Dragon" and "False Prophet" of Revelation?

The specific event depicted on the Senmut map is calculated to be May 1534 BC (
Gregorian calender ). I know there are disputes and discussions regarding
different theories, and I do by all means not assume knowledge about who are
correct.
Von Spaeth and his work concerning the Senmut map is not the
established community view, but deserve some interest as it is published by a
journal with very high credentials.
Purpose of my post was to
add some perspectives concerning Robert's post, and his thoughts; Quote: It would
be interesting to find out if the pyramids have any marker to Canopus in
their design.
Views outside the frame of mind set by the established community is always
interesting, as it is the place where new knowledge comes from. Like Acharya
boldly question established view of Christianity and Jesus as founded on a
"persons biography", Ove von Spaeth presents
Judaism and Moses as continuation of ancient Egyptian knowledge. The difference
is suggestion of Moses being a historical person, with religion being myth
created around him.
His work is interesting
because it presents views that promote looking for knowledge outside "the box"
that our mindset impose. I stumbled upon his work when I was looking at
something interesting regarding the "mother and child" depictions that repeats
itself in religions. Symbolism and patterns are my personal main interest and
focus.
Senmut and the princess
images are so similar to other known versions that it is almost strange to see
them as pure coincidence. This is one example ;
Statue: Senmut and the
princess Neferure, Altes Museum, Berlin. Inscription: Senmut, triumphant, not
found among the writings of the ancestors, great father-tutor of the
king's-daughter, Sovereign of the Two Lands, Divine Consort, Nefrure, .....
which I did according to the thought of my heart .....

Hello Vallhall, thank you for sharing material from Ove
von Spaeth on Egyptian star religion which I read with interest,
especially his comments on Canopus.
In the Golden Age known
by the Egyptians as Zep Tepi, around 10,000 BC, Canopus and Vega were the pole
stars. Canopus has since shifted far from the south pole, becoming visible in
Egypt in historical times due to the precession wobble. Canopus is now
equidistant between the south celestial pole and Sirius along a straight line.
Continuing this line north eventually reaches Vega because Canopus and Vega are
opposite in the sky. Santillana and von Dechend discuss Canopus at some length
in Hamlet's Mill.
My opinion, as I have
expressed here previously, agrees with the theory of Philip Coppens and others
that Canopus was a main star in Egyptian religion, but its invisibility from
Europe meant that myths linking Canopus and Osiris were not understood by the
Greeks. From Egypt Canopus and Argo sail across the southern sky at the time
since co-opted by Mariolatry as the festival of blessing the waters with the
launch of the ships in spring, when the barque of Osiris and Isis was launched
on the Nile. Interestingly, the Arks of Gilgamesh and Jason both have fifty oars,
one for each second of arc of precession each year.
Von Spaeth opens interesting speculation about ancient civilizations.
It is fun to imagine speculative links. My favorite is to imagine that the
emerald tablet of Thoth is at the subterranean capstone formed by the point of
an octahedron made by adding a mirror image pyramid below the Great Pyramid, as
above so below. Even more imaginatively, I have noticed that Tahiti is exactly
opposite the city of Thoth (Tehuti), Hermopolis. Balancing a globe of the world
on a cup with Tahiti at the bottom will show Egypt at the top. Tahiti was first
discovered by the Polynesians about 600 years ago, but this similarity of name
is nonetheless an interesting coincidence. Noting the presence of sturdy ships
at the pyramids led von Daniken to all sorts of speculation.

This 3,500-year old
star-map adorning one of the ceilings in the tomb of the great Senmut (Senenmut)
near Luxor (Thebes) apparently demonstrates a previously unknown aspect of the
astronomical situation in Egypt around 1,500 BC. The data encoded in this map,
and its significance, has for the first time been investigated by Danish
researcher Ove von Spaeth and is published in July-August 2000 in the
international journal of the history of the exact sciences, "Centaurus", vol.
42.
The map's configurations,
which have been considered as mythic representations, are now seen to be
depictions of a rare gathering of planets in well-defined celestial positions.
The information contained in the map refers to a specific point of time.
[Moses's Birth] The re-evaluation of this and of subsequent maps, together with
the data contained therein, gives birth to new perspectives. By introducing these
reference points of time - substantiated in astronomical terms - the appropriate
chronology of the epoch in question, which has been much disputed, may now be
dated with considerably greater precision than possible before.

Star
From
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ...
Etymology
The word star in English
is derived from Greek aster, which comes from Hittite shittar, which is derived
from Sanskrit sitara, "सितारा"[5].
[edit] Observation history
Stars have always been
important to every culture. They have been used in religious practices and for
celestial navigation and orientation. Many ancient astronomers believed that
stars were permanently affixed to a heavenly sphere, and that they were all but
immutable. By convention, astronomers grouped stars into constellations and used them to track the motions of the planets and the inferred position of the
Sun.[6] The motion of the Sun against the background stars (and the horizon) was
used to create calendars, which could be used to regulate agricultural
practices.[7] The Gregorian calendar, currently used nearly everywhere in the
world, is a solar calendar based on the angle of the Earth's rotational axis
relative to the nearest star, the Sun.
The
oldest, accurately-dated star chart appeared in Ancient Egypt in 1,534 BCE.[8]
Islamic astronomers gave Arabic names to many stars which are still used today,
and they invented numerous astronomical instruments which could compute the
positions of the stars. In the 11th century, Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī described the
Milky Way galaxy as multitude of fragments having the properties of nebulous
stars, and also gave the exact latitudes of various stars during a lunar eclipse
in 1019.[9]
In spite of the apparent
immutability of the heavens, Chinese astronomers were aware that new stars could
appear.[10] Early European astronomers such as Tycho Brahe identified new stars
in the night sky (later termed novae), suggesting that the heavens were not
immutable. In 1584 Giordano Bruno suggested that the stars were actually other
suns, and may have other planets, possibly even Earth-like, in orbit around
them,[11] an idea that had been suggested earlier by such ancient Greek
philosophers as Democritus and Epicurus.[12] By the following century the idea
of the stars as distant suns was reaching a consensus among astronomers. To
explain why these stars exerted no net gravitational pull on the solar system,
Isaac Newton suggested that the stars were equally distributed in every
direction, an idea prompted by the theologian Richard Bentley.[13] ... ...

Volume 42, Pages 159-179). [Note: A controversial
interpretation of the Senmut star map. The Danish author, who describes himself
as an "independent scholar," seeks to accomplish considerable chronological
revision (as part of his re-interpretation of the biblical figure of Moses).
A number of critics on
the Hastro-L (History of Astronomy) discussion list (January, 2002) have shown
his astronomical interpretation of Senmut's star map to be seriously flawed.
Christian Leitz in his 2002 article in Centaurus decisively critiqued this
paper.

and Shaltout, Mosalam. (2007): "The Astronomical Ceiling of Senenmut: a Dream of
Mystery and Imagination." In: Zedda, Mauro, & Belmonte, Juan, (Editors): Lights
and Shadows in Cultural Astronomy, (pages 145-154).
The authors critique and
reject the ideas of Ove von Spaeth and also Christian Leitz that the ceiling
depicts an astronomical scenario that can be precisely dated.]

A comment to Gary D. Thompson - 2007 -
counter-evidence:
Interpretation of critics to be seriously flawed?
A comment to above text on Gary D. Thompson's astronomy web site.
Gary D. Thompson has established a very fine web site on
the historical astronomy. And it was most needed. It has
the fine quality that the information is presented preferably in a non-biased
way. Unfortunately, in the case of presenting my treatise concerning Dating
Senmut's Star Map, such principle was ignored.
Approx. five dozens of
experts from all over the world have expressed their congratulations and
admiration for my paper (later, many among them also presented in this
connection on
www.moses-egypt.net). So, what is the reason for Mr. Thompson mentioning
"... A number of critics joining the discussion list of the Hastro-L (History of
Astronomy) have shown his (my)) astronomical interpretation of Senmut's star map
to be seriously flawed ...". False ! - And "a number of ..." - why use
this expression when it is correctly 2 people only - who honestly and openly
admitted in their messages that they have not read my paper at all, but they
"supposed" and "presumed" the paper must be wrong. They have not shown anything
of the kind.
And "... Christian Leitz
in his 2002 article in Centaurus decisively critiqued this paper ...". False,
again! He has done nothing of the kind either. Leitz' claim about missing the planet
Mars which then should haven been represented as a falcon is strangely unrealistic, because
the falcon issue was only in use some hundred years later after Senmut - as Leitz very
well should know. A fruitful discussion could have been raised, but instead
there are no arguments at all in his text, and the only concrete information we
can get from him is that he is very angry. What's the use?
Besides, I was informed
by asking the Centaurus staff that - in contrast to my paper which was clearly
accepted after scientific scrutinizing - his texts was not peer reviewed.
Normally in common practice the science editors prefer at least a minimum of scientific data and solid
arguments.
Authorities on the
history of astronomy and Egyptology: - Professor Owen Gingerich,
Harvard-Smithsonian Institute (11.Oct.2001), - Sir Patrick Moore, D.Sc.,
Astronomer, Science editor at the BBC (15.Sep.2000), - and Professor Dr.
Erik Hornung, Basel University (24.Oct.2001), - all with a special knowledge and
long-term interest concerning the Senmut star map - have acknowledged
independently and in particular voluntarily my star map dating project and the value of what
the result suggests. They, and the many others, welcome the work as a promising
proposal for a solution and do not speak about any "truth" about something
having taking place 3,500 years ago - whereas the opponents (often non-experts)
are expressing their cocksure critic ("this is completely impossible" ... etc.) as
being the very truth and with no doubts.
In addition, I have
written about a solar eclipse which in the context of the map is astronomically
correct, but critics claim that it's all is wrong because the eclipse could not
be observed in Egypt at that point of time. But the ability to read a plain text
is the obligatorical way to correctly understanding - there is not one word about this
in my paper! The solar eclipse is situated at the right time-place on the map
together with several planets which could not be observed either, because of
being too close to the sun - but still they are all stated on the map, of
course. So what's
the problem? And note that no skeptics have proven any calculation wrong
concerning the treatise's general sky positions for the Sun, Moon, and the
planets - these are all correct and unambiguous.
In case my paper on
the Senmut map could be found totally wrong - you should, as naturally for
genuine science, discuss it and oppose it, or try to disprove it, and thus
let us together expand our knowledge - but, please, include scientific
arguments and true data. Not bias and aggression. Instead, Mr. Thompson has
chosen 2 or 3 people's criticism openly based on "suppositional ideas" to be
mentioned, but excludes a significant number of expert opinions being of
positive acceptance. What is his agenda?
Ove von Spaeth
Postscript by OvS: - Later, in 2010,
Gary D. Thompson has in his web site text included the following -
and now again without scientific arguments and true data - that: "... even
von Spaneth fails to clearly present the views of persons he claims are
'supporter' of his claims. Von Spaeth is one of a number of people promoting
speculative ideas ......". Unbelievable! The desired presentation has
been shown on my web-site since the year 2000 and has even been expanded
later many times. Several e-mails from me to Mr. Thompson have earlier
provided him with the specific address of the page in question:
http://www.moses-egypt.net/star-map/senmut1-mapdate_en.asp
In addition to the many
experts and prominent persons' supporting statements about the star map
treatise and the recommendations given by peer-reviewers at different
scientific journals, and the fact that dictionaries world-wide are referring
to the treatise, and Yugoslavian astronomer Boran Novakovic has his treatise
based on it - that they must all have overlooked that "...Von Spaeth is one
of a number of people promoting speculative ideas ...". But as it seems from
his claims, Gary D. Thompson himself although without reading the treatise
now invokes the authority of his own to make such 'disclosure'.
I have to repeat that the
ability to read a plain text is obligatorical in such matters, so when I
in four words asked what his agenda is, Mr. Thompson responds:
"... Ove von Spaneth falsely supposes that I have an agenda in mentioning
only critics...". Thus, Mr. Thompson's claim is wrong, and so is even his
reproduction of my name repeated four times in that condition.
The documentation in
question can be presented again here: more than 25 statements extracted from a
larger group of astronomers, Egyptologist, and other scholars and
professions on the mentioned page (in www.moses-egypt.net) are now an extra
time presented (below) with their statements about Ove von Spaeth's treatise
on "Dating the oldest Egyptian Star Map":

Discovering the star map research -
9 October 2011 -
Review :
A closely-reasoned scientific paper - this
thoughtful and reflective leap brings new light on Senmut's map
Dating the Oldest Egyptian Star Map In this treatise, 'Dating the Oldest Egyptian Star Map', Ove von Spaeth developed the implications and significance of a configuration of planets
and stars represented on the most ancient Egyptian star-map - the 'Senmut Star
Map' - from the reign of Queen Hatshepsut (ca. 1500 BC) during the 18th Egyptian
dynasty. By drawing upon the resources of modern astronomy and mathematics, von
Spaeth computed and verified the presence of distinctive planetary conjunctions
represented on the Senmut map as a factual occurrence in the skies. By doing so, he was able
to indicate a more exact dating of its time and period in Egyptian history and
of the reign of Queen Hatshepsut. His approach - a combination of modern
astronomy, statistics of rare planetary conjunctions, mathematics,
archaeological materials, and Egyptology - allowed for a fuller understanding of
Egyptian history dating and shed light on the place of ancient astronomy in its
cultural contexts.
On detail and perspectives In all: a
closely-reasoned scientific paper that explores the implications and
significance of an unusual configuration of planets and stars represented on an
ancient Egyptian star map - the Senmut Star Map established 3,500 years ago -
the world's oldest star map. Earlier scholarship on
the Senmut star map by Egyptologists focused mainly on identifying the planets
and stars depicted on the map and analyzing its principal features but the
significance of the actual configuration of these stars and planets remained
unrecognized. By drawing upon the resources of modern astronomy, the author, Ove
von Spaeth, has here been able to compute and verify the presence of the
distinctive planetary conjunctions represented on the Senmut map as a rare and
factual occurrence in the skies and so also to indicate a more exact dating of
its time and period in Egyptian history. His approach - a
combination of modern astronomical and mathematical evidence with archaeological
materials and Egyptology - allows for a fuller understanding of the development
of astronomy in ancient Egypt and to provide important chronological evidence
about the reign of Queen Hatshepsut. As well, it reveals that
ancient Egyptians were not concerned merely to represent astro-mythological
features in star maps as aspects of their cosmology but to mirror concrete and
specific events in the sky as and when they occurred. Such usage of star maps in
ancient Egypt, interpreted as here with support from modern astronomical
computational methods, opens up areas of research and investigation that have
remained largely unexplored for lack of interdisciplinary approaches and
perspectives derived from critical relations between modern science, archaeology,
and Egyptology. Ove von Spaeth's treatise
takes a thoughtful and reflective leap in this direction and brings startling
new light upon the skies of the Senmut star map.

Welcome to the History Discussion Forum!
Subject: Helping atheists understand origins
This 3,500-year old
star-map adorning one of the ceilings in the tomb of the great Senmut (Senenmut)
near Luxor (Thebes) apparently demonstrates a previously unknown aspect of the
astronomical situation in Egypt around 1,500 BC. The data encoded in this map,
and its significance, has for the first time been investigated by Danish
researcher Ove von Spaeth and is published in July-August 2000 in the
international journal of the history of the exact sciences, "Centaurus", vol.
42.
The map's configurations,
which have been considered as mythic representations, are now seen to be
depictions of a rare gathering of planets in well-defined celestial positions.
The information contained in the map refers to a specific point of time.
[Moses's Birth] The re-evaluation of this and of subsequent maps, together with
the data contained therein, gives birth to new perspectives. By introducing these
reference points of time - substantiated in astronomical terms - the appropriate
chronology of the epoch in question, which has been much disputed, may now be
dated with considerably greater precision than possible before.

Beyond the boundaries of established science an avalanche of exotic ideas
compete for our attention. Experts tell us that these ideas should not be
permitted to take up the time of working scientists, and for the most part they
are surely correct. But what about the gems in the rubble pile? By what
ground-rules might we bring extraordinary new possibilities to light?
Moderators: arc-us, MGmirkin
OVE VON SPAETH, Danish
writer, historian, and researcher, investigates the ancient, still significant
traces and the surprisingly many surviving clues concerning the historical Moses
- a new dimension explored. This task is thoroughly supported by the fact that
the author is endowed with substantial historical and astronomical knowledge and
experience.
Altogether, in the
various works of Ove von Spaeth, published during his many years of intensive
studies and inter-scientific exploration, this background combines with his
comprehensive research into archaeology, Egyptian tradition, Bible analysis,
ancient languages, the history of religions, anthropology, and historical
significant facts about mystery religion and mythology. Throwing new light on
the unusually abundant and also controversial material, and in addition viewed
from a holistic angle his research also extends to a special line of science:
the cosmology of historical religions.
He presents:
The oldest known Egyptian
image of the World-axis is on the exceptional star map from ca. 1495 BC - the
time of Hatshepsut - in the tomb of Senmut, the magnate, in Thebes.
The Egyptian text, "The
Book about Day and Night" also known at the time of Ramses VI, calls the axis
menit (mnj.t), the 'mooring post' of the celestial boats sailing between the
planets. Another text, "Papyrus Harris", calls it:
"... a column from the Earth up to the sky ...".
This version of the axis
as mooring post is so far unknown to the Egyptologists. In the 4,500 years old
texts, called the "Pyramid texts", this pole is hailed clearly in its role as
the World-axis:
"... Heaven's gates are open for you, the mooring woman is called for as Isis".
Here the coherence is
very obvious, as the goddess Isis was always identified with the Sirius-star at
the World-axis' root or lower end.
The World-axis was connecting to sky-cultic rituals: the World-axis or the World
Tree in the form of a certain pillar or post - to be found in some of the
ancient temples and sanctuaries - is also recognized in the Hebrew Bible's text
of Deuteronomy (16:21-22):
"... do not plant a tree … as a holy post close to the altar of Yahweh, your god
...".
The healing or magic
thing about the World-axis/post/pillar was recognized in the biblical text about
Moses, who during the desert wandering proclaimed that Israelites who were ill
could to be restored if they lay down in front a holy post placed by him in the
desert. The Bible describes how a copper snake had been placed on the post. It
was later kept in the Jerusalem temple from where it was removed by King Josiah
in 622 BC. Moses' post/staff with the snake is the oldest known version of what
is still used as a medical symbol - later, since Greek-Roman times, it is known
as the "Aesculapius staff".
* * *
The World-axis was
considered a magic place where the gods would reveal themselves and descend
along the pillar or the post as a Jacob's ladder from the upper regions of the
heavens. Cf. Jacob's dreaming at the foot of the ladder - in the Bible (Genesis,
28).
By this holy pillar - or
the holy tree, i.e. the World Tree - linked with these special powers, the said
cultic ritual called hieros gamos, 'the sacred coitus', could be executed by the
royal couple of the country or by the crown prince and crown princess.
The World-axis was
considered a magic place where the gods would reveal themselves and descend
along the pillar or the post as a Jacob's ladder from the upper regions of the
heavens. Cf. Jacob's dreaming at the foot of the ladder - in the Bible (Genesis,
28).
Later, a Greek myth
mentions that the god Zeus descended like a swan and fertilized Leda (Ionic for
'woman'), who later gave birth to twins, Castor and Pollux - the Gemini
constellation.
The entire narrative is
related to the astro-mythological expression of the mysteries, as the position
of the constellation The Swan (Cygnus) near the star, Vega (Lyra), at the upper
pole of the World-axis was considered the starting point of a divine power that
followed this course of the magical World-Axis from the upper sky and down to
earth to the "woman at the foot of the axis"; the sons are the Gemini stars
situated directly above this lower part of the World-axis.
From Homer's recounting
of the Greek mythology it appears that when Odysseus was reunited with his wife,
they lay in a conjugal bed carved from the stump of a huge olive tree - still
with its roots in the ground. The holy intercourse took place under the stars
and at the very root of the tree, its lower "Canopus-part".
The basic idea of this -
being placed under the canopy of the tree's crown up in the sky or even the
entire starry heaven stretched as a baldachine, a canopy - can be seen later in
European royal conjugal beds for the wedding ritual and they were the first
having a star-decorated canopy, called the canope "as at Canopus".

Star cults were often
connected with worshipping of the post, the World-axis, supplemented with oracle
observance - and possibly temple prostitution.
In ancient India a
special cosmic-religious-philosophical tradition also had focusing the North
Star (Stella Polaris) which is connected in reference to the Turtle Star, Kurma.
It is all mentioned in the ancient text, "Patañjali's Yoga Sutras", The star is
the third brightest star in the sky and is known in the Near East and Europe
both by the (Arabic) name Vega and Greek name Lyra.
This star is to be
located as an uppermost centre in the northern sky and was known in Egypt,
India, China, as well as by the Greeks. The genuine North Star or Turtle Star,
Kurma, i.e. Vega, was the original North Star 13,000 years ago; however, it
constitutes still and always the top of the World-axis.
The above mentioned "Yoga
Sutras" contains 195 stanzas of learning - and is connected to ancient India's "collection
of supreme knowledge", the Vedanta-doctrine in the texts of the Upanishads.
Approx. 2,300 years ago, the sage Patañjali wrote the "Yoga Sutras" in their
final form.
A special group of
stanzas in "Patañjali's Yoga Sutras", Book III, Sutras 25-31, informs about the
stars and their cosmic arrangement of placement in space. The Sutra 28 reads:
"... By intensive meditation (Samyama) on the North Star (Polar star) the person
who practice this yoga shall obtain knowledge about the movements of the stars.
..."

From the Earth we can see
our own galaxy almost like the slim area of a diametrical cut of a dish, the
very cut as the nesau - the Egyptian expression for the 'Milky Way' - with its
light surrounding the cosmic World-axis crossing over the sky from the south to
the north.
The light of the universe
has a special quality for the life and this light is being "amplified" when
passing through a galaxy. This is what happens - also when the light is passing
diametrical via our galaxy outside through its curved rim and, as seen from the
Earth, beaming out from the long narrow surface which appears as "the cut", i.e.
the bright ribbon-like Milky Way, which in mythology was perceived as the
informative and "nourishing" World-tree of Life.
Likewise, in ancient
cultures people could in their own way perceive the Milky Way as the true,
enlightening life-supporter in the sky. From the cosmos it is transmitting -
according to near future science - the radiation's special bio-energetic light
forms.
Such light, the cosmic
all-penetrating radiation light, is forming superstring-like connection and
coherence of the universe.
This light,
self-organizing intelligently structured exuding its qualities through our
galaxy, was seen as a tool for creating - filling the universe by being the
formative as well as informative medium. The universal light itself exists as
super-information that never goes away or dissolves (but may vary in levels of
appearances); the consistency of such facts enters into the coherence of modern
astronomy and quantum physics/mechanics.
For instance, the ability
of transporting data, pictures, and music through light in optic fibre cables -
is today a well-known principle. However, far beyond such limited, 'earthly'
function the power of the cosmos light is everywhere.
About "in the beginning"
the ancient Egyptian cosmology account mentions "... the first beams of light
that lit up the world ..." - and the Bible's Book of Genesis, 1:3, states
conjuringly: "... and then there was light ...". The two American research
engineers and Nobel Prize winners, Arno A. Penzias and Robert W. Wilson, found
in 1965 the first physical proofs ("the sound of Big Bang") to the hypothesis
earlier presented by Pyotr Kapitsa and especially by George Gamow. Penzias and
Wilson showed that "light is the origin of the universe" ... "suddenly the
universe arranged itself in order and became transparent".
* * *
George Gamow had
published a Big bang theory work: the important cosmogony paper, "The Origin of
Chemical Elements" (Physical Review, April 1st, 1948) - it became known as the
Alpher-Bethe-Gamow theory; and then by observing/listening to the vast universe
Penzias and Wilson had discovered background radiation of cosmological origin -
imagine: 300 000 years after the universe was created darkness reigned. Then,
suddenly, the very first rays of light burst through the shadows - to penetrate
the universal darkness freely.
The cosmos has, like a
"fossil", thus being preserving traces of the universe in its infancy, and have
here retained a trace of this original moment in the form of background
radiation. As such, it constitutes a unique memory, providing elements of a
response to questions of the birth of the universe, its expansion and its future.
It bears witness to the very first rays of light - today we know that light is
emitted by matter in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles known as
photons, i.e. the famous wave/corpuscle duality of quantum mechanics.
The light's inherent
functioning methods possess some of the same qualities as language which - by
itself - contains information, for instance of distinction, time (present,
future etc.), location (sequence), and many other data (cf. language by itself
as the eternal, great teacher). More so, the light also - in itself - contains
data (besides some technical and astronomical information) among which some are
needed for the life forms and their development, expansion, and maintaining (e.g.
curing).
These abilities are -
according to the ancient sages - to be found in the very logos. In ancient
civilizations through ages this special light was visualized as the World-Tree
of Life and the World-Tree of Knowledge united, where the branches and twigs of
the one tree constitutes the root and root-twigs of the other, all in one
celestial picture, the Milky Way.
* * *
All around the world
there are many ancient creation myths which explain the origin of the Milky Way
and give it its name. The English phrase is a translation from Greek galaxias,
which is derived from the word for 'milk' (gala). In India it is called the Akashganga or a celestial form of the holy river, Ganga. In the Greek myth, the
Milky Way was caused by milk spilt by celestial goddess Hera when suckling
Heracles. In Egypt as well in the ancient Scandinavian myths, the sky was the
celestial cow with the life-giving milk as the floating giant stream of stars
and the condensed light of these as being life supporting, - cf. the Milky Way
as the Tree of Life in combination with the Tree of Knowledge.
Again, the Milky Way was
seen as the true, enlightening life-supporter in the sky - radiating
bio-energetic forms of light - as also being quoted from Penzias and Wilson's
scientific research: "... light is the origin of the universe. ..."
Concerning the primal
light, the obelisks represent the same features or principles as the World-axis
and - although they are not identical - they have these qualities in common.
The measurements of the
Egyptian big sizes obelisks mainly produced in the 18th and 19th dynasties show
- in principle - some very special ratios by the lengths of the shaft combined
with the breadth of the shaft both at its foot and at the slim upper part
beneath the pyramidion on the top, and even with the diagonals. These
mathematical proportions should be examined by modern science and compared or
related to measurements or numbers in certain basic biological features and
conditions and also to the influence or behaviour of light.
Obviously, when some deep
conceptions about the light forms were both known and expressed by the ancient
cultures, we should be inspired to discover some important information here.
Today, such special light as dealt with here, particularly when also consisting
of high frequency radiation, should on this basis - together with its various
ways of strong influence on life - be thoroughly investigated scientificly.
* * *
From the Earth the three
brightest stars of the sky can be seen appearing on a complete straight line
following the streaming Milky Way crossing over the sky. In several ancient
cultures this outstanding celestial line of sight was perceived and expressed as
a magic mast, in fact, as the one to be seen on the oldest Egyptian star map
which adorns the ceiling of the 3,500-year-old tomb of Senmut.
The constellation called
the "ox-loin" (meskitu) by the Egyptians or Great Bear and Charles's Wagon by
the people at many other places in Antiquity is circling around the mast every
day (as seen from the Earth) and served as a cosmic symbol of the cycles of life,
rebirth etc. In this way the principle of the cycles of the eternal life could
be expressed also as being connecting the magical axis of cosmos.
With the Benu bird of
eternal life sitting on the top - the pyramidion being this capstone above the
obelisk shaft - the Egyptians consequently used the description ben-ben for this
kind of elegantly slim and spiritually shaped monoliths, these cultic objects of
stone, a sculpturing never being surpassed.
However, later the Greeks
- for example, Pythagoras, Solon, Plato and others studied for many years in
Egypt concerning the knowledge, spirit and science also inside the Egyptian
cults - were naming the obelisks by a pun with a word we still use today:
obelisk, meaning in Greek 'ox-spear' or 'ox-spit' because of its turning of the
ox-loin like it was a roast on the kitchen fire. In later times the Romans often
instead used the expression "a needle", cf. the enormous high "Cleopatra's
needle" in Alexandria.
On one of the pairs of
obelisks which Senmut had carried out for the Queen-Pharaoh Hatshepsut and
placed in the Karnak temple, the main temple of Egypt, the very obelisk
inscription by Hatshepsut is strongly expressing the obelisk's vital purpose by
referring to:
"... The Creation and the Vital, Radiating Essence of the Universe ...".

RE: Dresdeni koodeks ja iidsed tähetargad
Tagasi iidsete tähetarkade juurde.
Leidsin ühe üleskirjutise pealkirjaga Teeba tähekaart.
Nimelt leiti 1857.a. Teebast ühest hauakambrist taevakaart, kus on kirjas 12
planeeti.
Meenutan, et näiteks planeet Pluuto avastati alles 1930 a.
Otsisin internetist lisateavet ja leidsin niisuguse jutu: http://www.anistor.gr/english/enback/v021.htm
Sinna on kirjutatud, et see on 3500 aasta vanune tähekaart ja leiti Senemuti
hauakambrist Luksori lähedalt Teebast. On ka pilt lisatud.
Huvitav, kas see on sama tähekaart või on neid leitud Egiptusest ka teisi?
Siin uusi avastusi sellelt tähekaardilt:
http://www.moses-egypt.net/star-map/senmut1-mapdate_en.asp
Siin aga Senemuti hauakambrist huvitavaid pilte: http://www.suziemanley.com/june/architec.htm
Senemut oli Hatshepsuti templi arhitekt.
On ka Tähekaardi visanditest pilt.
Veel pilte tähekaardil kujutatust:

Aaa nüüd leidsin, siin on ka teistest Egiptuse tähekaartidest:

o I wasn't aware of that, and I haven't been able to find much corroborating
information. Hence I modified the article and based the date on
Ove von Spaeth's work
on the Senemut star map, which is referenced by Novaković (2008).
Hopefully that's okay for now. Thanks. Regards, RJH (talk) 17:22, 2 July

A special treasure of knowledge and wisdom
of Greece, Rome, and the Renaissance had originated in Ancient Egypt -
and was here known to connect also with the historical Moses' dramatic
fate and mystery.
Ove von Spaeth has
written an intriguing, new-orientating work presenting this still
influential background of our civilization. • His interdisciplinary
research on history, archaeology, and anthropology goes deeply into
Egyptian tradition, history of religion, initiation cults, star-knowledge,
and mythology - relating to biblical studies, the Rabbinical Writings,
and the authors of Antiquity. • Each volume offers unique insights not
presented before.
