ANCIENT EGYPT’S HIDDEN TEMPLATE
WHEN IS A SNAKE NOT A SNAKE?.
This question gets repeated in several posts. Because that awareness that comes from asking the question, ’is at the heart of what the story of the snake, is really about. The Egyptians weren’t engaged in creating a meaningless mythology as some seem to think. Obviously it’s easier to see the template when you know that one in fact exists, and you also have some idea about the story that the Egyptians were recording. For example, look at these portrayals that I’ve already explained.
THE ACTUAL HIDDEN TEMPLATE
The template that the Ancient Egyptians used to create their deities and hieroglyphs. was so simple and yet so effective. It used physical characteristics, behavior of the various animals, birds, human body parts or abstract forms, to represent an important point in what was being recorded. Those Abstract symbols that did not fall into any of categories that I’ve just mentioned, such as for example the Shen Ring, were specially created for a specific purpose and afterward given the meaning that corresponded to the purpose for which they were created.
This meant that the original meanings have remained hidden, since they were not based on phonetic sounds or an any kind of alphabet. Those Changes came later on with the development of Demotic and Hieratic writing and were appropriately deciphered by the Rosetta Stone
Make it stand out
Why are these 2 Egyptian Deities wearing sun disc encircled by circles on their Head?. It was nothing to do with meaningless mythology.
What’s needed is the template that was used to create the original hieroglyphs & the kind of art that you see here.. That template is surprisingly easy to figure out once we put aside the Rosetta Stone and approach it with an open mind.
The template used physical characteristics or behavior of each animal, bird, insects or human body parts to represent an important point in what was being recorded. Abstract forms were created for specific purposes and given names.
This means that the original meanings of the hieroglyphs have remained hidden, Out of reach of the Rosetta Stone.
THE EYE OF HORUS
To demonstrate how the template worked, I’m going to apply it to two very different iconographic images of Ancient Egypt. The first is one though not a part of the story of the snake, is probably familiar to more people. This is symbol known as the eye of Horus
I remember many years ago seeing an image of the Eye of Horus superimposed on the brain in the area called the Diencephalon where the Pineal Gland is located. I remember thinking, that the comparison was an interesting one. However I thought nothing more of it since I at the time, I did not yet know about and understand the template.
Horus was a sky deity in Ancient Egypt’s belief system and was symbolized by the falcon. The use of the falcon’ eye in the amulet of the Eye of Horus has more than one layer, However it is immediately obvious that the marking around the falcon’ eye has a strong resemblance to the symbol of the eye of Horus. This means that the eye of Horus has similarities both to the area around a real falcon’s eye, as well as to the Diencephalon area in the brain.
In this first layer, it was a physical characteristic of the falcon that was in use. A very simple and straightforward comparison or analogy.
ABOUT THE FROG
The second example concerns frogs, specifically the pair of frogs that are seen in images of the god Heh, who is said to measure time.
The Goddess Seshat also has a frog and some of the same tools as Heh for the same exact reason, even though she was said to be the goddess of writing and knowledge.
She was also seen as a scribe and record keeper. And later eve associated with measuring, mathematics, astronomy and surveying.
The little frogs which are more like tadpoles, are pictured here sitting on the Shen rings. Now the Shen ring have their own template meaning which I’ll cover separately in the near future. The frogs are a part of a system that Heh is using, to measure of the magnetic field. Because frogs have the characteristic of being diamagnetic animals. This means that frogs are able to levitate in a relatively weak magnetic Field. And that is the characteristic that makes them useful as symbols in the story of the snake.
The problem that the Ancient Egyptians were preoccupied with, was the weakening of the Earth’s Magnetic Field by the Telluric Currents. Normally CME’s do not directly affect life on Earth they primarily affect electric grid and satellites and digital communications system. However CME discharged from the sun whenEarth’s magnetic field is particularly weakened, could potentially end in disaster. So they used the frog’s diamagnetic ability to symbolically illustrate measuring the strength of the Magnetic Field.
Youmight be saying to yourselves after hearing this explanation about the frog;
“Really.?” .
I understand. Because that was exactly thing that I was thinking as things began to fall into place, concerning the information that I was given I remember just thinking to myself, that’s absurd!. Theres just no way that Ancient Egyptians knew any of this!. There’s just no way!. And at the same time wanting more information and explanations and wanting to keep an open mind. And so the information about the snake and the explanations continued to stack up in ways that mere coincidence and even confirmation bias couldn’t account for.
So even if you find yourself expressing disbelief, keep an open mind. The Ancient Egyptians used metaphor liberally, and once this is recognized, we will learn so much more about their civilization. Instead of expecting that they expressed themselves and their knowledge by using language in the exact same way that we do today.
The more we learn from the Ancient Egyptians use of metaphors, the more in becomes obvious that there was a teacher, or teachers who gave them the advanced information in ways that were easy to understand and remembe .
