The sacred barque –or Ark of Hathor symbolized and celebrated the eternal cyclic nature of her divine purpose. During ceremonies and celebrations, a replica of this barque would serve as a floating shrine to transport her divine statue along the Nile. It symbolized cosmic travel as well as the journey of the sun, representing fertility, renewal, and the cyclical regeneration of Egypt.
During the grand annual festival of the Beautiful Reunion, Hathor’s barque sailed from Dendera to Edfu to unite with Horus. This journey symbolized the merging of male and female forces of nature to provide to balance and harmony -- and agricultural fertility.
In her form as the Eye of Ra, her barque mirrors the solar barque, representing the passage of the sun across the heavens and the triumph of divine order over chaos. The festival processions involving her barque often traveled to ancient necropolises, symbolically restoring life to primordial ancestors and the land of Egypt itself.
The Lake of Fire, also known as the Lake of Flames was said to be a terrifying, supernatural body of water in the underworld (Duat). Keep in mind that the Duat relates to a 3D perception of Reality,
Was it as the priests declared –a deadly trap of annihilation for the wicked? Or was it a place of purification and rejuvenation –and the digestion of the physical perception of reality?
Indigenous knowledge holder, Abd’el Hakim Awyan taught us that the Hanuti or “undertakers” as the first harvestless priests, used agendas that created fear to control the masses. They created the concept of eternal death of the wicked along with the famous myth of the “Judgment scene”—or weighing of the heart (right-brained consciousness) against the feather (mind-based consciousness).
Their translation of this myth revolved around a female beast called Ammit, known as the "devourer" or "chilling bone eater" who personified divine retribution and sat in the underworld's Judgment Hall, waiting to consume the hearts of the wicked after the "Weighing of the Heart" ceremony. This terrifying hybrid monster (part crocodile, lion, and hippopotamus) sat beneath the scales. If the heart was heavier than the feather, Ammit consumed it, denying the soul eternal life and erasing them from existence. Later priests would tell the people that If they’d bring offerings to Horus, he would tip the scales for them.
They also introduced Am Heh, the “devourer of millions” or “eater of eternity “who lived within the Lake of Fire as an ever-present threat to the deceased. The Lake was guarded by four Baboons or “gatekeepers” as aspects of Thoth/Djheuti that represented “wisdom from within”.
These concepts migrated into the dogma of other world religions.
“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:14–15
Are these metaphors really illustrating that it’s an energy of “Light-heartedness” that opens portals into other dimensions of consciousness?
Right-brained, heart-based perception is said to be intuitive and creative, offering a more interdimensional “knowing” and ability to harness, master and navigate earthly waters with the wisdom of the divine feminine. Our current left-brained perception drives us to define and measure all that we encounter in this reality. We want to wrap everything up into boxes and tie them with neat little ribbons–that only serve to confine us and narrow our vision.
To balance the two is said to open the Pineal Gland where Horus, the Wadjet “all-knowing” Eye has been said to reside. The ancients illustrated this concept with the image of Wadjet, a cobra in a sine wave, serpentine path across the top of the head connecting the two hemispheres of brain on the statues of those who were prized with achieving this feat.
The very ancient Egyptians were obsessed with the concept of harmony or Ma’at. For them, it referred to the balancing of polarities such as the two hemispheres of the brain---the two lands of Upper & Lower Egypt and of the spiritual and earthly realms. As Egyptian civilization became more organized, Ma'at devolved from a natural force of cosmic balance into a definitive standard for state laws and societal ethics, rigorously codified in Wisdom Texts and the famous Book of the Dead--All things that Hakim would refer to as “the game of the priests”.
Ma’at, as a force of nature can be understood as the transmutation of polarity and the divine balance of the physical, mental and spiritual bodies into Harmonic Resonance. When the forces of chaos (within and without) are resolved, a state of sustained equilibrium is achieved—creating true peace and cosmic harmony. When this occurs our physical 3D reality dissolves (into the Lake of Fire) and gateways to other dimensional realities open.
This all occurs in the "sea of two knives" which are held by the frog-headed "Upu". "The sun emerged out of a lotus flower that appeared on the surface of Nun – the Sea of two Knives." The temple at Dendera represents the womb of Hathor and the place where the answers to the mysteries of the universe are embedded for those with eyes to "see".
This is a symbolic representation of the birth (rebirth) of the Sun/Son (Ihy as Horus). Hathor is the womb in which this first "Sine Wave" breath of life (as Wadjet, the kundalini serpent) is born into containment (body) symbolized by the lotus bulb. Heh, representing infinite cycles is sitting on the "birthing box" holding up the lotus bulb. The spine or Djed pillar begins to fall out of balance and into duality.
@rareearths@EthicalSkeptic@joerogan I have found many shells and fossils of marine life all over the Plateau and below... Still not proof that the inundation occurred before or after the pyramids.

In Honor of World Bee Day (May 20)…
Ancient Egyptians revered bees as sacred, believing they originated from the tears of Ra. Their buzzing was considered the voices of the Neteru (Powerful Forces of Nature) or the ancestors. Ra’s right eye was the Sun, his left eye was the Moon-- and he caused the Nile to flood. The native Egyptian honeybee, the Apis mellifera lamarckii were prolific in a narrow range along the Egyptian Nile Valley that symbolized royalty.
"When Ra weeps again the water which flows from his eyes upon the ground turns into working bees. They work in flowers and trees of every kind and wax and honey come into being." ~ Salt Magical Papyrus
Neith, as the Queen Bee, Weaves the Fabric of our Reality
“The geometric design of their honeycombs reflects the fabric of the universe as the dress or ‘veil’ of the ancient Egyptian Netert, Neith. Also spelled out as Nit, Net, or Neit (the Net), she is the first and the prime creator of the universe and great mother of the sun. Emerging from pre-dynastic times, her temple in the Nile Delta at Sais was called “the House of the Bee” and it was said that she wove the world into being on her loom. All vibrating patterns of life and breath are fractally connected to the finely woven fabric of her womb.
On her dress you can see the beehive pattern that is the basic foundation of the Flower of Life- which, when animated, is a rhythmic, vibrating electromagnetic Torus Field.
Honeybees orient to the earth’s magnetic field. They contain a region of ferromagnetic crystals of magnetite located in the front of their abdomens that enable them to detect magnetic fields, to regulate their internal clocks and to guide them as they build combs within the hive. It has been suggested that the Queen Bee harnesses the magnetic field to promote a harmonic and unified communal effort to create and maintain her domain and its inhabitants in a state of Ma’at. Neith is the Queen of the Heavens who provides a safe haven for seeds of consciousness to be birthed into the rhythmic dance of life.”

“Her name also may be interpreted as meaning water. In time, this meaning led to her being considered as the personification of the primordial waters of creation. She is identified as a great mother goddess in this role as a creator.” Plutarch (46 – 120 A.D.)
Egypt was the first civilization to practice systematic beekeeping. They used cylindrical hives that allowed beekeepers to practice artificial swarming and access combs from both ends, a highly advanced agricultural technique for the era. Beekeepers still manage this native subspecies in traditional mud-tube hives today.
Honey was an incredibly valuable commodity used to sweeten breads, wines, and meats, and was consumed by all social classes. It was heavily used to treat wounds and as a powerful antibacterial salve as well as an ingredient in cosmetics. Beeswax was essential in the mummification process.
Bees are fundamentally essential to human life. By pollinating one-third of the food we eat, including nutrient-dense fruits, vegetables, and nuts, they ensure global food security. Because their populations are vulnerable to habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change, supporting them is crucial.
Nehebkau ("He who harnesses the KAS or KA") is a primordial and powerful serpent who says:
"I am the outflow of the Primeval Flood, the one who emerges from the waters. I am the giver of Life-Energy, the serpent of many coils." ~ from the Pyramid Texts.
In some myths he is said to be there when we fall into form and duality to attach the BA (soul) and KA (lifeforce) and with us when our perception of form dissolves to bind the BA and KA together again as the Akh as the light being or "shining one".
Also known (today) as Ophiuchus, the "Serpent Bearer," he represents the "13th constellation" in the Zodiac between Scorpio and Sagittarius that points to the center of our galaxy.
Picture taken by me at Kom Ombo where he is “nicknamed” Nehy.
Anubis, the Gatekeeper and Opener on our Path to Eternity.
This Anubis shrine was found in Tutankhamen’s tomb and said to be from the 18th Dynasty. Picture taken by me in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
Gemehsu as an aspect of Sokar- who represented a vital stage in the process of Resurrection. He is Osiris when he dies or pauses for a moment of complete silence and at-one-ment with NUN (No-thing) or everything that exists. Known as the "lord of the mysterious region" (underworld), he was said to facilitate the soul's resurrection and appeared in the Book of the Dead as a figure aiding in the transfiguration of the physical body following death…or the digestion of the perception of physical form or 3D reality.
He was depicted as a falcon-headed mummy (wrapped in his own wings) wearing the white crown and sometimes holding a sun disc-- or a hawk sitting on a mound. Sokar's role was crucial in enabling the Sun itself to complete the dangerous journey through the night cycle, only to be reborn again each morning as Horus rising on the Horizon into a new and enlightened perception of reality with the memories of the experience of the blissful divine wisdom of unity consciousness.
His back is adorned with the flail and the Neheh sign. The Neheh sign represented cyclical eternity, renewal, and the recurring nature of time in ancient Egypt, often symbolized by the sun god Ra's daily rebirth. It signifies a dynamic, endless repetition of life cycles—such as days, seasons, and the flooding of the Nile…and more.
Picture taken by me at the GEM (Grand Egyptian Museum). Crafted from gilded wood, featuring gold foil applied over a wooden core, it was discovered in the tomb of King Tutankhamun (KV62).

Breath of Primordial Duality and Harmony
This carving features a central Kirtimukha flanked by Kinnaras (mythical bird-human beings). It displays the foundational pattern and duality of the breath of life within all of nature’s cycles. It is inhaling and exhaling in continual patterns that include moments of silence as the Great Yogic Breath.
The presence of the symbols of the sun and moon suggest that this dynamic flow is reflected within earth’s day and night cycles. The inclusion of Kinnaras also adds a musical dimension to this process; as celestial musicians, they represent the harmony produced when the sun and moon (masculine and feminine energies) are in sync.
The Kirtimukha (Face of Glory) acts as a cosmic generator of balance symbolizing the devouring nature of time that ultimately births new life. It also represents the Digestion of Ego initiating a release from our identification with our physical bodies and gratification of self. Commonly placed over thresholds, it serves as a guardian - a symbol of protection and for the clearing away of negative energies. It clears a space for the opening of the heart.
It usually has the face of a lion and is known as Simha Mukha or the lion-faced. It has two horns, with a third or middle horn in the forehead center, just above the two bulging eyes that protrude out of their deep sockets—that suggest the Ajna Chakra (third eye), where duality is transcended during moments of "contained silence" or Kumbhaka (breath retention). Harmonic Resonance.
Picture taken by me at Jambukeswarar temple in Tiruchirapalli, India -that embodies the Element of Water, the Appu Lingam silently linking the fluidity of water with the rhythmic, foundational "breath" of existence.
These exist at many of the pyramid sites here. The plateau is littered with fault lines ("song lines") --next to the pyramids and one running right through the back of the Sphinx. There is much iron oxide seeping to the surface everywhere. The sites were chosen for the energetic imprint--the geopathic stress generated from this, Aquifers filled with seasonal pulsing water (Lifeforce) and natural limestone bedrock chambers. It all equates to the rich fertility of the land that they were harnessing for many purposes.
Portal of Perception - the door that leads to the World of the Neteru
Scene from “House of Eternity", the tomb of Sennedjem (at Deir el Medina), "Servant in the Place of Righteousness and Truth" --an artisan who worked in the Valley of the Kings during the reign of Seti I in the 19th dynasty.
It's from the "Book of Coming Forth by Day" or the commonly called "Book of the Dead".
There was no concept of death before "the Fall".
The ancients knew that we can leave the limited sensory perception of a more-left-brained analytical, mind-based perception of the Duat (our dark night of the Soul), and enter into the "world of the gods or Neteru" as Neteru ourselves. We can become powerful forces of nature that experience a "day cycle" of multidimensional heart-based awareness that is a more right-brained and "connected" relationship with everything that we interact with.
Just as we experience light and darkness within a 24 hour cycle --as well as within the Fall into Winter, and the rising or Springing into Summer of an annual "year", we experience a migration of rising and falling consciousness awareness within a Great Cycle known by many different titles globally --and what our left brain would choose to label as the Precession of Equinoxes.
There are eternal cycles within cycles within cycles infinitely within and without...with sacred and divine moments of silence and then reversal.
This is the perceived fractal patterning of the great beath of life.
