Various peoples regard the belly as the seat of life and intelligence. To the Egyptians of the Pyramid Age, the "heart" or the "belly" furnished the chief designation's for the inteiligence.18 The "heart and reins" occur frequently in sacred Hebrew literature19 In ancient times the heart, liver, kidneys and bowels were referred to as the seat of life as the heart alone now is. But each of the separate ...
642. Was the Spiral a Symbol or an Art-Motif? [Books]
... . But the influence of Amen (or Amon) was not operative during the early period when the spiral first came into fashion. "Amon", was, as Professor Breasted reminds us, an "old obscure local god of Thebes, whose name is not to be found in the great religious documents of the earlier age like the Pyramid Texts". It was not until the Empire Age that he "gained the chief place in the state theology, owing to the supreme position held by the ruling family of his native town in the Empire. "15 Nor did the Theban god become chief deity until after he had be enfused with the sun god Re, as ...

... known as Taheke-roa to the underworld those who sympathize with Rangi the Sky-Parent ascend by means of the gyrating whirlwind to the heavens, and so pass upwards to the uppermost heaven where dwells Io-matua (lo the parent), and are there welcomed by the company of celestial maids, the twelve mareikura.34 Among the pre-Dynastic beliefs enshrined in the Pyramid Texts of Ancient Egypt is one of very special interest and significance: King Unis goes to the sky, King Unis goes to the sky! On the wind! On the wind! The reference is evidently to a whirlwind which draws skyward the loose desert sand, etc.35 The spiral lore of China and Japan is rich and ...

... condition, with paint still to be seen on their murals. The report continues: The tombs contained wooden statues, sarcophagi and baskets with alabaster cosmetic jars. One belonged to Ka Aper, who described himself as well-known to the pharaoh, head of the archives of the pharaoh and the head of all works in the vicinity of pharaoh Teti's pyramid. ' Hassan said: He was a sixth dynasty priest but his name is new to us. We didn't know he existed. '. The second tomb is a rare example of an Old Kingdom tomb built solely for a woman, Najad Pet, priestess of the goddess Hathor and the god Wepwawet. Usually women were depicted only ...
646. Night of the Gods: The Pillar-Axis as Tower [Books]
... Dunraven72 gives authentic particulars and sketches of a great number-some two-and-twenty-continental round towers, none of which however has any exact typical resemblance to the Irish towers, except in a common roundness, and in the conical tops of some, and both those facts are of leading symbolic importance. The divine companions of the great Mexican deity Quetzalcoatl raised mounds or pyramids of stones and bricks, and they gave their pillars the form of serpents, not an infrequent Irish middle age ornamentation. Quetzalcoatl himself invented (that is, of course, created) the tower absolutely round and without angles, which, says M. Eugene Beauvois, " has such a curious parallel in Gaelic lands."73 ...

... A centre that housed about 2,500 people contained many buildings, a series of symmetrical plazas and two massive ceremonial buildings, one of which seems to have been a store for huge amounts of agricultural and luxury goods. It appears to have been finished in white pigment so that it would glisten in the sun, much as the Egyptian pyramids are thought to have done; access to it was carefully restricted. Sculptures include jaguars and a double bodied serpent. Stone pestles and mortars were used for grinding red pigment and there examples of what appear to be stamp and cylinder seals. There are textiles, wooden figurines and turquoise beads along with pottery and there were many cultivated plants ...

... priesthoods and priestly rituals, many of which are still used. Even in the Christian era, temple architecture has memorialized these events. The Gothic buildings of the Middle Ages refer to unconscious catastrophic memories and to lingering mnemes of terrifying apparitions exemplified by the dreadful figures of Notre Dame. The greatest feat of engineering of the past, the great pyramids of Egypt, were royal shelters against possible repetition of catastrophic events. In his Despotisme orientale, Boulanger discusses those ancient kings and tyrants who behaved as if they wished to be regarded as earthly equivalents of the planetary gods. Only rarely did they desire to be called sun gods because the Sun was never the supreme deity. Today, ...

... the Sun (or Venus) in order to attain immortality, eternal youth, or rejuvenation. What is true for the warrior-hero is also true for the transmigrating soul, which likewise travels to the land of the Sun/Venus in order to be reborn. The most ancient examples of this theme come to us from Egypt. In the Pyramid Texts, for example, the deceased king- frequently identified with Horus (Mars)- ascends to heaven with the express purpose of reaching the Elysian Fields associated with the ancient sun-god Re. There he hopes to be "reborn" as a youth. In various Utterances the deceased king is described as being nursed by the celestial goddess ...
