The Pylons Represent The Pillars Of Hercules
The above comments are very enlightening in what concerns the symbolism of the pylons
of Egyptian temples. First of all, let us moot out the fact that they represent the twin
peaks of the Mountain of the Orient (or "Horizon") between which the sun rose daily.
This mountain was — in the whole of the Ancient World, and not only in Egypt — con-
sidered to be the abode of the sun-god. In fact, as we already said, the twin peaks of
the Mountain of the Orient and the Occident which is so prominent in Egyptian and in
Phoenician mythologies, ultimately derives from the Hindu traditions on Mt. Meru, called
by precisely these epithets in India. The twin peaks of Meru are called, respectively,
Sumeru and Kumeru, the radix su meaning "to rise" and ku meaning "to sink" in Sanskrit.
One aspect of Horus (and of the Great Sphinx) was called Horemakhet (or Harmakhis),
that is, "the Horus of the Horizon" (or of the Orient). This is the old Horus (Aroeris),
the brother or alias of Osiris, in contrast to the new Horus (Harpocrates), the son (or
renewed avatar) of Osiris. "Horizon" here has the sense of "Orient" or, rather, of Lanka
(Indonesia), the Land of Sunrise whence both the Phoenicians and the Egyptians, as
well as their gods, originally came.
In Fig.4 we have Egyptian representations of the sun rising between the two peaks of
the Mountain of the Orient. In Fig. 4(a) the mountain is represented as a pylon or gate
as in the Egyptian Temples.9
In Fig. 4(b) the characteristic hieroglyph of the sun rising between the two peaks of
the Mountain of Sunrise is topped by the one of "heaven", as well as by the Twin Lions
(Acker or Ruty). The Twin Lions stand for Lanka ("the Island of the Lions") and its Indian
dual, Shri Lanka. They also represent Orient and Occident (Rustu and Amh). In reality,
as we explained above, the Mountain of the Orient represents Trikuta, the three-peaked
mountain on whose top Lanka, the capital of the Atlantean empire, was edified. As we
said, the central peak of Trikuta sunk away, becoming the giant submarine caldera of
the Krakatoa volcano that separates the islands of Java and Sumatra.
The "sun", here, is an allegory (just as is the blooming lotus) of the colossal explosion
of its central peak (Mt. Atlas, the central pillar), an event that, according to tradition,
was "brighter than a thousand suns". The central peak collapsed and disappeared under-
seas, leaving an open passage (a strait or "door") in its place. Hence, the Triple Mount-
ain became the twin pylons, the equivalents of the two Pillars of Hercules. The central
peak, Mt. Atlas, the Pillar of Heaven — having disappeared from view and leaving behind
merely the glow of its explosion, bright as a new sun — became the "Door" they flank.
And this "door" or "gate" is the Gateway of Heaven, symbolized by the pylons of Egypt-
ian temples. In reality, this Gate of Heaven is no other than the maritime Strait of Sunda
, in the Orient, replicated by that of Gibraltar in the Occident. Together, they form the
Four Pillars of the World which the Egyptians allegorized as the four legs of Hathor as
the Celestial Cow or as the four members of the goddess Nut posed on the ground, as
illustrated in our discussion in Part I of this work.10
Almost invariably, the pylons of Egyptian temples were decorated with bas-reliefs show-
ing the king (the alias of the god) striking down masses of prisoners in a display of his
power. The king has a raised arm wielding the mace with which the strikes down his
victims. Again, this motif is, far more than just a decoration, indeed another allegory
of the destruction of Atlantis.11
As shown in the pylon of Medinet Habu (Fig.3(a)) and, more clearly, in Fig.5, below,
the striking god often wears the triple crown that symbolizes Trikuta, the triple-peaked
mountain. This triple-peaked mountain, often with the central summit represented ex-
plicitly or, conversely, symbolized by a stunted, sunken down portion is also represented
in the triple spires of Christian cathedrals and churches. The "sun" that shines at the
center of the Holy Mountain of the Egyptians is an explicit representation of the colossal
explosion of its volcano. In Christian symbolism, this "sun" is often figured by a rose-
window, a symbolism taken directly from Hindu and Egyptian archetypes. The rose-
windows represent the Golden Lotus, itself an allegory of the colossal "mushroom" gene-
rated by the giant explosion of Mt. Atlas. 12
