... resurrected self. All new pharaohs were reincarnations of Horus, the god created from the seed or pieces of Osiris (Kronos). The mysterious pyramid shafts leading from the so called King's chamber of the Great Pyramid are astronomically aligned, according to the authors, with the constellation of Orion in one direction and the constellation of Draco, the dragon serpent in the other. The so called Queen's chamber (Isis?) has shafts that point in one direction to Sirius and to Ursa Minor in the other direction - the Fenris Wolf (? ). The constellation of Draco is very long and serpentine and trails between Ursa Minor and Major, the Wain of Odin, which may ...

... spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes. Botanists47 recognize among the plants brought by Thutmose III the blue lotus, the vine date tree, the pomegranate, the dragon plant, the arum, the iris, the chrysanthemum, as well as the cornflower and mandragora, also a variety of pine tree and some sort of "melon tree". Many of the plants, however, cannot be identified at all.48 It seems certain that various specimens of flora as pictured on the Karnak bas-relief were ...

... that it pointed to the coming redemption of Israel, and taught Moses a specific lesson. At the bidding of God, Moses cast his rod on the ground, and it became a serpent, to show him that when he traduced Israel, he was following the example of the abusive serpent, and also to show him that the great dragon that lieth in the midst of the rivers of Egypt, though he was now hacking into Israel with his teeth, would be rendered harmless like the rod of wood, which has no power to bite. And, again, through the third miracle he was bidden to perform, God conveyed to Moses what would happen in the latter ...

... probably also capable of sailing in order to have reached the island in the first place. Around 10,000 BC a major volcanic eruption appears to have caused the extinction of these people, together with many species of Flores' fauna, including a dwarf elephant and huge rats, tortoises and lizards, one species of which, the Komodo Dragon, has survived. Evidence for modern people does not occur until after this volcanic period.
