I'm so god damned tired of the smugness of modern people that I want to scream. I think we're probably all at least a little nuts and don't have a clue to what to assign our success. Despite all these riches we'd rather kill one another than live a life of comfort. Screw immortality when there are enemies to kill. No one will be truly happy until everyone else is dead.
I'm not proud of this in the least.
But I want answers. This is my latest attack on everything that is orthodox egyptology;
1483b. ’Imś.ti, Ḥȝpi, Dwȝ-mw.t.f, Ḳbḥ-śn.w.f,
1483c. who live on truth, who lean upon their d'm-sceptres,
The four Gods mentioned in line 1483b are the four sons of Horus. These Gods are firmly established as being the overseers of the four sides of the pyramid by context. Two are the legs which lift and two the arms that hold. Two operate the counterweights and two the ascenders. Mercer translated “ma’at” as “truth” in most cases dependent on context but in this instance it probably should be “balance”. “Ma’at” meant truth or balance or a combination of the two. Remember that Seker was the ballast of the counterweight and in a later “Hymn to Osiris”, Seker was said to tow the eart by ma’at, ie- he used balance to drag the earth (or parts of it).
The more interesting line is 1483c. It says these Gods live on balance and lean upon their pulleys!! I intend to show this using the context of the PT for substantiation.
First a little fluff from a series of similar utterances;
339c. who stand on the eastern side of the sky and lean upon their d‘m-sceptres,
348b. who stand on the d‘m-sceptres of heaven,
355b. let them be brought to N., those four traffic-guards, the wearers of side-locks,
355c. who stand on their d‘m-sceptres, on the eastern side of the sky,
360d. who sit on their d'm-sceptres on the eastern side of heaven.
These refer to the “four traffic gaurds”. It’s tempting to make “side locks” related to the ascender but in all probility this was merely a hair style. The only important information here is that they lean, stand, or sit on their pulleys.
There’s this;
816a. who lean upon their d‘m-sceptres, who guard the land of Upper Egypt,
It’ll get a little more interesting here;
1762a. To say: N. is the d‘m-sceptre which is in Grg.w-bȝ (.f).
1762b. N. has descended upon the perch; N. has ascended among the great ones.
Here there is a weak association with the pulley and going up and down.
Same here;
1319a. N. is the great sceptre in the great court in Heliopolis,
1319b. when he ascends and lifts himself to the sky.
1456b. O gods of the lower sky, imperishable stars,
1456c. which traverse the land of Libya, which are supported by their d‘m-sceptres;
1456d. just as N. is supported, with you, by a wȝś-sceptre and a d‘m-sceptre.
I believe the w3s’-sceptre is the device which operated the djed. This was a hollow sycamore which was used to direct the water flow. The “lower sky” was the height of heaven which was also known as the []b[]w or the height to which the water sprayed. It varied from as high as 80’ on G1 to as little as 32’ on Djoser’s Pyramid. These Gods included the four sons of Horus but the entire earthly ennead who built the great pyramids.
288a. The ḥkn-wt.t-serpent is on her d‘m-sceptre, the sister (?) of N. who holds Shu aloft.
288b. She makes his place wide in Busiris, in Mendes, in the necropolis of Heliopolis;
I believe it’s the pulley which is meant to hold “upward” aloft. Normally N (the dead king) is associated with Shu because N is the water spray which goes upward but in this case Shu’s role in lifting the ascender is noted. Normally Nephthys gets credit here because she’s the Goddess of the ascender. 288B is a sort of prayer that the rope doesn’t slip off the pulley. Men rode these ascenders to report to work and there would occasionally be accidents. A rope slipping off the pulley would cause one of the most serious types of accidents.
1000e. who stand on (by?) their d‘m-sceptres, who stand (?) on their eastern standard.
368a. N. pushes off from the earth in thy boat, O Rē‘;
368b. so when thou goest forth from the horizon, he (N.) has his sceptre in his hand,
368c. as navigator of thy boat, O Rē‘,
369. Thou (N.) mountest up to heaven; thou separatest thyself from the earth, a separation from wife and office (royal-apron).
This is one of the more telling utterances. This suggests that the boat leaves the earth and the pulley guides it! “Aprons” in the PT apparently refer to the water collecting device which surrounds them at the base. It is from this apron that the boat rises. Remember all these boats and stones were said to “fly up and alight”.
1241c. N. is side by side with Atum, between the two sceptres.
This is consistent as well.
797a. that thou mayest judge the gods, that thou mayest set a boundary to the Bows,
797b. between the two sceptres, in this thy dignity of spirit, commanded by Anubis.
Anubis is the intelligence atop the pyramid which directs construction. He is between the two pulleys which operate the counterweight and ascender. The “boundary of the bows” is the “Land of Rainbows”. It is the horizon above the Nile Vallay where the true horizon can be seen.
I fear this last one is so complicated it will be hard to understand but it is so complete and so explicit it needs to be included;
Utterance 568.
1431a. To say: He is gone who went to his ka; Mḫnti-’irti is gone to his ka;
1431b. N. is gone to his ka, to heaven.
1431c. A ladder is made for him, upon which he mounts, in its name of "That which mounts to heaven."
1432a. His boat is brought to him by the d‘m-sceptres of the imperishable stars.
1432b. The bull (or, ox) of heaven lowers its horn, so that he may pass thereon to the lakes of Dȝ.t.
1433a. O N., thou dost not fall to the ground.
1433b. N. lays hold of the two sycamores, which are in the middle of yonder side of the sky,
1433c. which ferry him over, and they set him on the eastern side of the sky.
“Minti-irty” is the God of the Mehet Weret Cow which was the water collection tower ion the north side. He was the God who snatched things from the air with an eye before and an eye behind. The cow sat on the Eye of Horus and had another at 80’ which caught the water. The cow actually wore a counterweight in the iconography and was said to channel the celestial waters. Yes!!!
When this God and the dead king go to their kas this is where they go. The ladder mounts to heaven because it’s the path up the side of the pyramid under the pulleys which transports the stones and the God Seker who rows them in his boat. These pulleys bring the boat. It is the “bull of heaven” which Anubis directs and the ascender is shaped like the head of the bull (in order to stack stones on it). It lowers its horn that they might ascend to the lakes of the geyser. Egyptologist claim “D3.t” means the underworld but this definition doesn't fit in context in the Pyramid Texts. Geyser does fit seamlessly.
The dead king doesn’t fall to the ground because he passes through the “Upper Eye of Horus” in the Mehet Weret Cow. He traverses the sky to the lakes of the D3t usually called the queen’s chamber in the case of G1. It is the djeds (sycamores) which contain him and ferry him over to the east side of the sky.
They should just give up since they're wrong.

FACTORY GIRL
Waiting for a girl who's got curlers in her hair
Waiting for a girl she has no money anywhere
We get buses everywhere
Waiting for a factory girl
Waiting for a girl and her knees are much too fat
Waiting for a girl who wears scarves instead of hats
Her zipper's broken down the back
Waiting for a factory girl
Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights
Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night
She's a sight for sore eyes
Waiting for a factory girl
Waiting for a girl and she's got stains all down her dress
Waiting for a girl and my feet are getting wet
She ain't come out yet
Waiting for a factory girl

What do you assign your success to?
I hate to tell you, cladking, but the Masons stole your religion. All the highest degrees are all about the Emerald Tablets and thrice Hermes.
Do you know the Emerald Tablets? Because you could make a shit ton of money, and maybe help make US war decisions, if you would pretend to not be so effen crazy and join a lodge. They need a brother like you.
People crack me up when they talk about the "New Math." Unless you are a topologist, serious programmer, or a physicist you probably learned the kind of math they had 5,000 years ago.
I think most people realize the diagonal is longer than the sides when they try to stand a long board up in their house and gouge a hole in the ceiling.

The article was interesting, but they didn't mention that most of the ancients didn't have a zero and their number system wasn't base 10 (usually base 6). They would have had limited results. It's a shame that Iraq doesn't continue to be the marvelous world it was back in the day. Muhammed fucked all that up.
Mathematics is beautiful if you learn it the right way. I wish more Americans would embrace it beyond the economic use.

I have serious concerns about someone who plans attacks on everything orthodox egyptology. What's next...microwaving kittens?

I just can't seem to keep up with everything and when I do I bite off a little more.
It took me hours just to write the post about pulleys.

I have too little success to speak of but I assign the success of man kind to language. Every advancement is related to language and it was speech that really launched us on the path we're on. Writing accelerated it and the printing press put in in hyper drive. The computer will destroy us due to the velocity of advancement if we don't get a hold of our superstitions.

Yeah, I've investigated the masons in some small depth and intend to not talk too much about them.
I investigated because for the last four years every single time I get a single hit on a google search and it's an individual that individual has been a mason. I'm quite convinced they have rituals that go all the way back to great pyramid building. They're distorted and opaque now but very ancient.

I think I'm the only one who knows what the Emerald Tablets really mean.
0) When I entered into the cave, I received the tablet zaradi, which was inscribed, from between the hands of Hermes, in which I discovered these words:
Another Arabic Version (from the German of Ruska, translated by 'Anonymous').
1) True, without falsehood, certain, most certain.
2) What is above is like what is below, and what is below is like that which is above. To make the miracle of
the one thing.
3) And as all things were made from contemplation of one, so all things were born from one adaptation.
4) Its father is the Sun, its mother is the Moon.
5) The wind carried it in its womb, the earth breast fed it.
6) It is the father of all 'works of wonder' (Telesmi) in the world.
6a) Its power is complete (integra).
7) If cast to (turned towards- versa fuerit) earth,
7a) it will separate earth from fire, the subtile from the gross.
8) With great capacity it ascends from earth to heaven. Again it descends to earth, and takes back the power
of the above and the below. 9) Thus you will receive the glory of the distinctiveness of the world. All obscurity will flee from you. 10) This is the whole most strong strength of all strength, for it overcomes all subtle things, and penetrates all
solid things. 11a) Thus was the world created. 12) From this comes marvelous adaptions of which this is the proceedure. 13) Therefore I am called Hermes, because I have three parts of the wisdom of the whole world. 14) And complete is what I had to say about the work of the Sun, from the book of Galieni Alfachimi. [From Latin in Steele and Singer 1928: 492. ]

"It" is a geyser. Almost all of the ancient wonders were built with the weight of falling water. Machu Pichu actually has a flowing stream on it today!!!
It's incredible that no one ever figured this out before.

From the Emerald Tablet:
1. I speak no lies, but what is true and most certain.
2. What is below is like that which is above, and what is above is like that which is below, to accomplish the miracles of the one thing.
3. And as all things were produced by the mediation of one Being, so all things were produced from this one thing by adaptation.
4. Its father is the Sun, its mother is the Moon; the wind carries it in its belly, its nurse is the Earth.
5. It is the cause of all perfection throughout the whole world.
6. Its power is perfect if it be changed into action.
7. Separate the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross, acting prudently and with judgement.
8. Ascend with the greatest sagacity from the earth to heaven, and then again descend to the earth, and unite together the powers of things superior and things inferior. Thus you will obtain the glory of the whole world, and all obscurity will fly far away from you.
9. This thing is the fortitude of all fortitude, because it overcomes all subtle things, and penetrates every solid thing.
10. Thus were all things created.
This sounds an awful lot like basic particle physics to me.
My friend is a Worshipful Master at a local lodge who has traveled to all the mother lodges around the world. He gets pissy when I ask stuff. My dad was a Mason and he wouldn't tell, either. I did overhear him practicing with his sponsor a few times, so I know a little. I just have an interest because of the symbology they use, the tracing boards they use to enhance memorization, and their general interest in geometry. Plus, it's funny as hell that men wear aprons.
