THE HEART OF THE SPHINX


Discovery of a hieroglyphic message carved into the Sphinx

G
rand guardian of the golden sand sanctuary surrounding the Giza pyramids, the Great Sphinx gazes towards the east with an enigmatic smile. For thousands of years, many have been awestruck by its majesty, antiquity and mystery. The Sphinx is a riddle. What does it mean? Escaping notice for centuries, but displayed up front and in plain sight, is a clue. Carved upon the chest of the Sphinx, iconic monument in the desert, is the hieroglyph for a heart or a jar of water. The interpretation of these symbols suggests mysterious and profound symbolism.

Dedication to Heaven

The flared rim and round belly of an ancient Egyptian water pot curve out from the chest of the Sphinx. This vessel, called a "nu pot," was used by pharaohs to offer water and other sacred libations such as milk, beer and wine to the gods. It is part of a message. The pot has the phonetic value "nu" in the Egyptian hieroglyphic writing system. Below the water jar, is a semicircular hieroglyph called a "t loaf" which represents a loaf of bread. Together these form "Nut," the name of the goddess of heaven. After standing stood silently for millenia. This discovery sheds new light on its message. It speaks of heaven.



The goddess Nut wears an iconic "nu pot" on her head.

(Metalinguistics: The water pot is a "ewer" . This then writes "wer," the Egyptian word for great. The semi-circular bread loaf spells t. Together, this is weret, the Egyptian word for a feminine "great one," or queen. 2023-6-11


The Name of Heaven

The idea of heaven is doubly reinforced. The Sphinx gives this message in two ways, vertically and horizontally like a cross-word puzzle. Vertically, the hieroglyphs read Nut, goddess of heaven. Horizontally, hieroglyphs are read towards the face of the focal being. The rectangular Dream Stele, forms the shape of the letter P. Behind it is the t-loaf. This forms the Egyptian word pt, heaven. A third confirmation is that the message occurs between the paws (ped, feet. Pedestrian, podiatrist, path []) of the Sphinx. Since D and T are variations of the same sound, we have PD = PT, the word for heaven in Egyptian.

[*]

The heart chalice of the Sphinx shifts its shape in varying light; a metaphor for the various perspectives of reality and the multiple aspects of the soul. In this light, the vessel assumes the form of an ancient Egyptian beer jug, which corresponds to the legend of Sekhmet.

The sun god Ra was growing old. Mankind started to lose respect for him and neglect his worship. To punish mankind, Ra unleashed his daughter as a destroyer in the form of the lion goddess Sekhmet. She wrought such a devastating retribution, that there were almost no survivors. (This legend possibly refers to the effects of a solar storm or mass ejection which can sterilize a land and cause extinction and famine.) Sekhmet nearly annihilated mankind. The crisis was only averted by when Sekhmet was lured into drinking large quantities of beer colored as blood.(This is why it makes sense that the Sphinx was painted red in ancient times. Worshippers might have continued to bring beer to the temple to ensure that Sekhmet remained tranquil). When she awoke from her intoxication, Sekhmet had exhausted her rage and transformed into sweet Hathor, the benign cow-headed goddess of love, pleasure, and merry-making. 2023-4-11

"The Eye of Ra or Eye of Re is a being in ancient Egyptian mythology that functions as a feminine counterpart to the sun god Ra and a violent force that subdues his enemies. The eye is an extension of Ra's power, equated with the disk of the sun, but it often behaves as an independent goddess. This goddess can be equated with several particular deities, including Hathor, Sekhmet, Bastet, Raet-Tawy, and Mut. The eye goddess acts as mother, sibling, consort, and daughter of the sun god. She is his partner in the creative cycle in which he begets the renewed form of himself that is born at dawn. The eye's violent aspect defends Ra against the agents of disorder that threaten his rule. This dangerous aspect of the eye goddess is often represented by a lioness or by the uraeus, or cobra, a symbol of protection and royal authority." []

QUOTE: All fear Time, but Time fears the Sphinx.

SPHINX sits in the posture of a dog in alert anticipation, ears pricked, eager to go outside. POSTURE = eager anticipation of the future. Even though she has seen it all, she still wants to go outside and pay ball. Egyptians loved nature and were very fond of their curly-tailed Besingi hunting dogs. They also revered cats and lions. Students of nature. Falconry?

SPHINX: Wise and knowing, sitting upright and expectant with a hint of a smile, looking forward to the future.
