Significantly the three pyramids are part of the Constellation of Phoenix, so named by the Ancient Greeks … the myth attached to it being about Death and Resurrection. In Ancient Egyptian mythology the precursor of the Phoenix was the Bennu bird which, like the Constellation of Orion, was also known as "The Soul of Osiris".

         As the soul of Osiris is also considered to be the spirit or the breath of life, Hhhhhhooooooo, it could be argued that only Osiris could be the Creator God, the Celestial Sphinx. In support of this, the Celestial Sphinx is sporting the Osiris Beard!

         In this small section of the heavens is recorded a pictogram representation of remote Ancient Egyptian mythology which centred on Creation, Death and Resurrection; particularly the death and resurrection of Osiris whose soul is represented by both the Constellation of Orion and the Constellation of the Phoenix.

         The main three pyramids at Giza, (Kafre, Kufu and Menkaura) which are representative of the Constellation of the Phoenix and its association with Death and Resurrection, were erected directly behind, and directly west of, the Sphinx at Giza … in imitation of the heavenly original, as indicated on the star map.

         The Great Pyramid represents the body of the Phoenix or Bennu bird, while the pyramids of Kafre and Menkaura represent the wings.


 

Orion: Soul of Osiris 
Osiris 



Phoenix: Soul of Osiris


         The union of the Constellations of Orion and Phoenix was not only achieved in their both being the "Soul of Osiris". Their union was also achieved in the ground plan of the Pyramids at Giza.

         The ground plan of the main three pyramids at Giza was discovered to be a replica of Orion's Belt in the Constellation of Orion by Robert Bauval in November 1983. (Bauval, R & Gilbert, A, The Orion Mystery. Mandarin, London 1994)

         Furthermore the Osiris Crown could be interpreted as an earthly representation of the Constellation of Phoenix … the White Crown flanked by two feathers representing the body and wings of the Phoenix or Bennu bird. It would therefore follow that the symbolism of the Crown would emulate that of the Constellation of the Phoenix: namely Death and Resurrection. It is an indisputable fact that in Ancient Egyptian mythology Osiris did represent Death and Resurrection. His was the first Resurrection, the first Raising. His child Horus was the Son of the Widow, Isis.

                                         The Celestial Sphinx: More Lost Secrets





Ancient Egyptians and the Constellations: Part 3


* * *
More Lost Secrets



         Lost Secrets continue to be revealed as we cast our eyes along the horizon from Giza at 11:57pm July 3rd 14000BCE.

         Positioned opposite to the Celestial Sphinx at this precise time in the North / North East sky, lie the Constellations of Draco and Ursa Minor. This dual constellation can be interpreted on several levels.

Firstly Draco is accompanied by his offspring who is cradled in his arms! This is symbolic evidence of the Creation Principle: the Celestial Sphinx, Hu, being the Creator.

         The imagery of Creation is quite explicit in the Constellations of Draco and Ursa Minor. Ursa Minor represents the Male Principle while Draco represents the Female Principle. Draco is symbolically impregnated.

         The imagery is continued in the Constellation of Cygnus which straddles the Milky Way. It is in the Constellation of Cygnus that the Milky Way divides into two streams creating a symbolic Birth Canal.






Deneb, the bright star of Cygnus is at the
head of the birth canal of the Milky Way.

Deneb, the bright star of Cygnus is at the head of the birth canal of the Milky Way. The womb is the space created between the Arch of the Milky Way and the horizon. The result is the birth of Baby Draco!

 Secondly Draco is not the dragon which his name suggests. This is a misnomer. Draco is a serpent. Moreover Draco and Ursa Minor can be regarded as one constellation; that of a double-headed serpent.

Thirdly considering Draco on his own, he has assumed the position of a cobra about to strike. This is the origin and meaning of the Uraeus on the brow or head-dress of the nobility of Ancient Egypt.

 Fourthly the rearing serpent in Ancient Egyptian mythology is associated with the Eye of Ra. This involves the concept of the invisible third eye on the forehead. The all-seeing eye.

Consequently the Uraeus (the serpent emblem) on, or just above the forehead on the head-dress of the Pharaohs represents the all-seeing eye, the Eye of Ra. The Uraeus was a symbol of Divine Authority, an authority which came from the heavens in the form of the Constellations of Draco and Ursa Minor. The hieroglyphs for the name of the god Osiris, Ausar, embodies the all-seeing eye.

Fifthly serpents were plentiful in the Underworld. It was because serpents hid away under rocks or underground that they were associated with the Underworld, the Land of the Dead or the Twelve Hours of the Night. Serpents abound in Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, carvings and paintings. In the Ancient Egyptian Book of the Duat the Constellation of Draco is represented at the eleventh hour.

The Lost Secrets continue to be revealed in the North West night sky, as viewed from Giza at 11:57pm July 3rd 14000BCE. In this location is to be found the Constellation of Aquila the Eagle.

In Ancient Egypt the eagle is usually found in connection with the serpent, though at a later date the eagle motif was replaced by that of the vulture. For example: the vulture and the cobra, in the form of the Uraei, are prominent on the forehead of the mummy mask of Tutankhamon. In general terms they are considered to be symbols of power. In real terms they form an essential part of Ancient Egyptian cosmology.

 Perhaps the most vivid and long lasting application of the eagle to Ancient Egyptian art and Sacred Knowledge was in the form of the Winged Disk. It looks not unlike a sycamore seed, and was especially prolific in Ancient Egyptian tombs and Temples. The Winged Disk was a combined emblem of the Sun, a double-headed cobra and eagle or vulture wings.

It would appear that symbolically the eagle is connected with the Sun. Technically however the eagle enjoys rain and floods. This explains why the Constellation of Aquila is situated in the waters of the Milky Way!

         Moreover, the vulture and the cobra represent the Female Principle. The vulture is the emblem of the goddess Nekhebet while the cobra is the emblem of the goddess Wadjet / Buto. The Female Principle is recorded in the Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs "Mut" meaning "Mother". In addition to the Vulture and the Cobra there is further confirmation of the Female Principle in the Mound (pregnancy) and the Egg. The English word "Mother" is a derivation of the Ancient Egyptian word "Mut".

A dilemma occurs when the circular emblem in the centre of the motif is considered to represent the Sun, a male deity. A more logical explanation is that the circle, or opening, represents the Female principle. (There will be more on the symbolic meaning of the "Opening" in later sections.)

         The eagle and the serpent are opposites. The one soars in the sky while the other slithers on the ground. Similarly, the Bee and the Cobra are opposites, as are the Vulture and the Sedge. This is an indication that they are meant to represent the two different realms of Heaven and the Earth, otherwise known as Upper and Lower Egypt!

         Taken one stage further, in terrestrial terms, Upper Egypt is considered to be the Land of the Sedge and the Vulture, while Lower Egypt is considered to be the Land of the Bee and the Cobra. Taken as a whole Ancient Egypt was known as the Land of the Cobra, the Vulture, the Bee and the Sedge. All four motifs are fertility symbols.

It has become apparent that More Lost Secrets of the Ancient Egyptians are encoded in the sky, as viewed from Giza at 11:57pm July 3rd 14000BCE. At this time the sky stretching from West to East (via North) above the horizon is female and represents Egypt in general. The Cobra, the Bee and the Vulture, the Womb and the Birth Canal of the Milky Way are all female symbols. The sky stretching from West to East (via South) above the horizon is male and specifically represents the site of Giza! The Celestial Sphinx, the Milky Way, (think about that one!) Orion, the Twins and the Sun are all male symbols.
