On the freemasons website that Wayne Herschel is referring to on the Key of Solomon website, the freemasons speak of the wisdom of the ancient Philosophers who regarded the soul of man to have its origins in Heaven. The soul was believed to incarnate into the flesh after having descended from Heaven passing through the Gate of Man. Having lived another live on Earth the soul eventually left the body after death and returned to Heaven again this time passing through the Gate of God. The Gate of Man corresponds with the crossing of the Milky Way and ecliptic at 5° Gemini (sidereal zodiac) while the Gate of God corresponds with the crossing of the Milky Way and ecliptic in 5° Sagittarius.
The Greek writer Macrobius called these gates on the ecliptic, through which the souls ascended and descended to Heaven, the Gates of the Sun. This is because not only mortal man but also the Sun dies and is reborn in the precession cycle at the very same gates. When the Sun resides on the gates of the Sun at an equinox or solstice, it represents a Galactic Alignment and Great Celestial Conjunction.
What happens during the 39 year period of a Great Celestial Conjunction is that the Sun at the equinox or solstice slowly shifts through the Galactic Equator of the Milky Way.

On Earth, the River Nile was the reflection of this great river in the sky, in accordance with the Hermetic principle "as above, so below." Herschel's earliest ingenious research has demonstrated that all of the pyramids along the river Nile represent constellations along the Milky Way, not just Orion! There are more than 50 pyramids in total, and their true meaning can only be deciphered when one considers the whole of Egypt.
During a Great Celestial Conjunction, the Sun crosses that great river in the sky, the Milky Way. Egyptologists explain that the solar God Ra (and Horus) required a boat because they sailed the Heavens from sunrise in the East to sunset in the West. At night, Ra travelled the Netherworld to be reborn in the morning at sunrise. Egyptologists reject the idea that the Egyptians understood the Precession of the Equinoxes and that the Sun also sojourns along the zodiac in a 26,000 year journey corresponding with the Precession Cycle.
In the Book of the Gates, the travel of the Sun at night along with the deceased pharaoh into the Netherworld is described. The Sun enters the Netherworld in the first hour just after sunset to be reborn in the morning at sunrise after a twelve hour nocturnal journey. There are many parallels, however, with the precessional journey of the Sun along the twelve signs of the zodiac to be discovered in the Book of the Gates. The 12 hours in the Book of Gates are structured into four groups of three hours, denoting a cross in the face of the clock. In the 12th hour Nun raises the solar barque with the scarab beetle of the Sun God from the primeval waters (Milky Way?), this is the hour of the rebirth of the Sun.
Left: Nun raises the solar barque from the primeval waters at ‘sunrise’, the time of the rebirth of the Sun.
During Ra's travel through all of the twelve signs of the zodiac in the precession cycle, he will be requiring a boat to twice cross that great river in the sky, the Milky Way! It is probably the only reason why the Egyptian deities required a Sun barque in the first place. Boats are used to cross waters, not skies, so it was used not for their nightly ecliptic travel from East to West through the Netherworld, but for their travels along the zodiac in the precession cycle. It is during this journey that the Sun would be required to cross the waters of the Milky Way at least twice. The Book of the Gates may therefore have been misinterpreted by Egyptologists as the nocturnal journey of the Sun simply because they reject the idea that the Egyptians understood Precession! Keep in mind that only twice per year on the equinox the day and night will be exactly 12 hours in length. It is therefore far more logical that the 12 hours in the Book of the Gates are in fact the 12 zodiacal Ages of the Precession Cycle.
Pharaohs in ancient Egypt were buried with their arms crossed holding Ankhs in their hands. This posture of the deceased pharaoh can be found on sarcophagus and in statues throughout Egypt. The Ankh represents a cross symbol.

Since the Greek inherited much of their wisdom from the Egyptians, it's more than reasonable to suspect that the gate or portal mentioned in the Book of the Gates through which the pharaoh enters the Netherworld is, in fact, the Gate of God that the Greek writer Macrobius writes about. The Gate of God was also called the Golden Gate, while the Gate of Men was called the Silver Gate. The very same Egyptian cross symbolism used by the pharaohs associated with the Golden and Silver gates of the soul (and the Sun) can still be recognized in the coat of arms of the Vatican, consisting of two crossed keys; one Golden, one Silver.
Silver and Golden cross in the Coat of Arms of the Vatican
The Golden Gate is the ecliptic Milky Way crossing at the Scorpio-Sagittarius nexus on the zodiac while the Silver Gate is the Milky Way ecliptic crossing at the Gemini-Taurus nexus. The Silver Gate was represented by the horns of Isis and the associated bull Taurus.
The Silver Gate is also clearly depicted in the Narmer Palette (3100 BC) named after the Egyptian pharaoh. The Narmer Palette shows the celestial goddess bull Bat (Taurus) with her horns bent over pointing exactly to the place of the rebirth of the Sun, the Silver Gate. The two cow's heads on top of the palette also represent Bat. In-between the two cow goddesses a hieroglyph is depicted representing the rising of the Sun in between two mountains on the horizon. It's a hieroglyph that is very similar to the Akhet hieroglyph with the same significance.

Bat was the goddess of the Milky Way considered to be a pool of Bat's cow milk. Bat was also the goddess of the human soul, the "Ba" that incarnated into human life form. Since the soul incarnated into human life passing through the Silver Gate (crossing of Milky Way and ecliptic), it's not surprising that Bat was both the goddess of the Milky Way and the human soul. Ba is a derivative of Bat, whereas "Ka" represents the human light-body. "Mer" represents the light of the Egyptian light-body-soul complex, the "Mer-Ka-Ba." Bat was also called the "Ba of Two Faces." Egyptologists are in the dark about her name and don't seem to understand that she was called this way, because there are actually two portals both to and from the Netherworld for the Ba to descend into the physical plane (Silver Gate) and ascend from the physical plane (Golden Gate). Both Hathor, Isis and Bat are all cow goddesses and Egyptologists have often pointed out the similarities between these goddesses depicted with cow-horns suspecting that they may have the same origins...they all represent the Silver Gate.
At the bottom of the Narmar palette in-between the horns of the bull, the very same hieroglyph is depicted as the one shown between two Bat bulls on top of the palette. This Akhet-like hieroglyph symbolises the rising Sun on the horizon.

On the other side of the Narmer palette two identical men, hence suggesting twins are depicted. They are both looking over their shoulders to a particular square over the left man’s shoulder. We surmise that the twins represent Gemini which would make sense since the actual ecliptic Milky Way crossing of the Silver Gate occurs in 5° Gemini (sidereal zodiac) and the square could therefore be suggesting the Silver Gate.
At the Autumnal Equinox, the Sun was indeed at the Milky Way, however at the Golden Gate. At the Vernal Equinox of 4468 BC, the Sun resided at the Silver Gate. The author (Audrey) does not seem to realise that this moment represented a Great Celestial Conjunction when the equinox axis (Vernal and Fall) aligned with the Galactic Equator and the Sun resided at the Gates of the Gods.
Instead, while interpreting the hieroglyphs of the 10 decapitated figures near the Solar Barque, he writes quote, "The full meaning of the hieroglyph can therefore be interpreted as 'the Sun at a sacred gateway, opening or portal'..."
While Hathor, Isis and Bat are all cow goddesses, Egyptologists have often pointed out the similarities between these goddesses depicted with cow-horns suspecting that they may have the same origins. . . . We suggest that they all represent the Silver Gate.
There is an even older Egyptian goddess that later was associated with Isis and Hathor. Her name is Serket and she was the deification of the scorpion goddess who healed stings and bites. Eventually, Serket was associated with Isis and she was said to be just an aspect of Isis. Serket and Isis can therefore be regarded as the ‘Ba of Two Faces’. While Isis represents the Silver Gate at the Gemini-Taurus nexus, Serket is her counterpart and she represents the Golden Gate at the Scorpio-Sagittarius nexus. This is why she’s wearing the scorpion on her head while she joined Ra in his barque on his journey around the zodiac in a Great Year.

The sacred Egyptian scarab beetle is a metaphor for the Sun in the precession cycle whereas the dung ball represents the Sun. The scarab beetle rolls its dung ball with his hind legs backwards, symbolizing the backward motion of the Sun through the zodiac in the precession cycle. Since the scarab beetle has many similarities with a scorpion, we surmise that Serket and the scarab beetle both represent the Golden Gate in Egyptian mythology.

The most interesting of female ‘horned’ Egyptian goddesses in the Egyptian pantheon is Seshat. She was the goddess of astrology mathematics architecture and keeper of the measure of time.
Seshat with the down turned horns and eight pointed cross.
Although interpretations differ what the cross above Seshat represents, some believe it represents a seven pointed star on a pole, other believe it represents a papyrus leaf, the authors of this article suggest that it represents an eight pointed cross, symbol of the Great Celestial Conjunction. It is placed right below the down turned horns exactly at the place where the Sun will reside during a Great Celestial Conjunction at equinoxes or solstices. Seshat headdress was called Safekh-Aubi (Sefekh-Aubi) and meant ‘She who wears the two horns’.
Seshat helped pharaoh with the alignment of the temples in Egypt in a ritual called Pedjeshes which translates into ‘Stretching the cord’ (Pedj--"to stretch," Shes--"a cord"). Armed with two pegs connected by a rope, pharaoh was accompanied by a priestess representing Seshat and aligned the temple to the celestial’s Bull’s leg while Seshat connected the other peg to her ‘home place’.
Since Seshat’s ‘home place’ is in between the horns of bull Taurus where the Sun resides at a Great Celestial conjunction and where also the eight pointed cross is depicted, the authors suggest that in thePedjeshes alignment ritual the Pleiades as the ‘leg of the bull’ (Taurus) is being used to show the way to the place where the Sun would reside at a Great Celestial Conjunction. In this ritual the temple was aligned accordingly!

Wayne Herschel mentions ‘the stretching of the rope’ ritual in his book ‘The Hidden Records’. The ‘Leg of the Bull’ (meaning the Pleiades) is mentioned in the temple of Hathor in Dendera where it is written:
“The living god Thoth – nourished by the sublime goddess in the temple – the sovereign of the country – stretches the rope in joy (align with it) – With his glance .. - ..towards the ‘ak’ of the bull’s thigh constellation.. – he establishes the temple house of the mistress of Dendera, as it took place there before”
It’s a fascinating thing to realize that yet another American Sun worshipping Indian culture devoted so much importance to the four pointed cross symbol! But it is even more astonishing to discover that the sacred Inca Cross Chakana is another form of an 8 pointed cross.

Constellation of the crosses
Our inventory of the cross symbols in relation to the Great Celestial Conjunctions would not be complete without mentioning two very important celestial crosses. The first is called the Northern Cross, the constellation Cygnus, while the second cross is the Southern Cross or the constellation Crux. Both constellations have been very important in ancient times since they defined the north-south meridian. The Northern Cross appears in many mythologies and is associated with a swan. The Southern Cross became the real ‘pole star’ of the south while the Northern Cross star Denab was the pole star in between 16.000 BC and 15.000 BC.
In his book ‘The Cygnus Mystery’, Andrew Collins explains how the Northern Cross constellation Cygnus was once venerated around the world in ancient times, a veneration that can be dated back to at least 15.000 BC. According to Collins Cygnus must have been very important to the ancients since around the world sites are aligned to this constellation. Most of these sites were also aligned to the solstice Sun. We just mention a few of the examples that Collins mentions in his book:
Great Circle Henge in Newark,Ohio, summer solstice alignment, central bird image
Olmec site La Venta, alignment to summer solstice, Big Dipper and Sadr (Cygnus)
Cuzco Peru, winter solstice alignment, celestial Puma represents Cygnus
Avebury (UK), summer solstice and alignment to the setting of Sadr (Cygnus)
Newgrange (Ireland), winter solstice and alignment to Sadr (Cygnus)
Although he mentions the ecliptic-Milky Way crossing once in his book, Andrew Collins is convinced that the ancients worshipped Cygnus because it represented first of all the cosmic axis and secondly the ancients somehow intuitively understood that Cygnus was important with respect to human evolution. Scientists discovered that Cygnus X-3 is a microblazer, a star that emits cosmic rays that penetrate deep into the Earth itself. This cosmic radiation may be a driving force behind human evolution, a notion now supported by some scholars and may explain why the ancients saw the Cygnus constellation and the Dark Rift as the abode of the gods, the underworld to which the soul ascended after dead according to Collins.
I believe that what in fact Collins has been discovering is the interest of the ancients of the Great Celestial Conjunctions and the alignment of the Sun with the Milky Way at solstices (Galactic Alignment). Take a look at the picture below.
Cygnus rising at the winter solstice Sun 1998
Sadr the central star of the Northern Cross rises exactly at the same time as the Sun on the winter solstice era-2012! No wonder the ancients deemed Sadr as the central star of Cygnus the swan important, like the Pleiades Sadr is the pointer to the winter solstice Sun on the Milky Way! It was not Cygnus that the ancients venerated but the alignment of the solstice Sun with the Milky Way at the Sagittarius-Scorpio nexus! The constellation Cygnus is the start of the Dark Rift that runs down all the way to Sagittarius-Scorpio; it’s the birthplace of the Sun!
Our final consideration; Could the Northern Cross have been the origin of the four pointed cross symbol that we have found in so many artifacts related to the Great Celestial Conjunctions? Sure why not? While the Northern Cross rises with the winter solstice Sun, the Southern Cross appears just above the horizon. Could both constellations of the crosses be the origin of the 8 pointed cross?
This seems hardly likely, why would these crosses have been superimposed to form the eight pointed cross? The only logical explanation for the 8 pointed cross that occurs in association with the Great Celestial Conjunctions, is that it represents the Earth Cross superimposed over the Galactic Cross. Remember that the Galactic Cross was known in both the Old and New World as the Sacred Tree, so at least one of the crosses does not correspond with the constellation of the crosses.
Conclusions
The four and eight pointed crosses that occur in the artefacts of the Old World were also meant to encode the Great Celestial Conjunctions just like in the New World. This article is the sequel to the first article on the crosses in the New World and demonstrates how these crosses are just as important in the same context in the Old World! To my knowledge there is no reasonable explanation known at present why the application of 8 pointed crosses along with 4 pointed crosses appear so frequently and in particularly in the most sacred symbols of the world.
So we can conclude that Great Celestial Conjunctions were known to our ancestors since they depicted this concept (Great Year into four equal periods that define the Four World Age doctrine) in their principle symbols.
Studying the Great Celestial Conjunctions from the perspective the conjunction of the Earth Cross with the Galactic Cross, has now paved the way to understand an array of new ancient cross symbols associated with four World Doctrine that could not be identified before.
Therefore I believe that professor’s Smelyakov’s Solar Zodiac model describing these Great Celestial Conjunctions, offers an additional and valuable tool in the study of the artefacts of both the Old and New World that are associated with creation myths and the World Age doctrine.

There is a gate in heaven. One day, heaven will extend through this gate unto earth. There is a gate on earth. On that day this gate will first receive the extension of heaven. Both of these gates are known respectively as golden gates.
The golden gate on earth was located in the eastern wall of the temple mount in Jerusalem. It was at a location in the wall where an intersecting east-west line connected the Altar of the Red Heifer on the Mount of Olives with the Holy of Holies within the temple on the temple mount. Historians write that the doors to this gate in the Herodian temple were covered with Corinthian Bronze, an alloy of copper, silver and gold. Due to its unique luster, especially in the sunlight of dawn or eventide, Corinthian Bronze was considered more valuable than gold itself. In the ancient world, gold represented the gods, silver represented men and copper represented judgment. In the East, the elders sat at the town gate making decisions and pronouncing judgments.
Before this gate was termed as the Golden Gate it was known as the Temple Gate Beautiful throughout antiquity. (Acts 3:2) In the fourth century, Jerome chose to translate the Greek word horaios, meaning beautiful, with the Latin word aurea, meaning gold, for the Latin Vulgate. His reasons for doing so are uncertain, however, when the figurative significance of Corinthian Bronze is considered, his reasons may not be far from the mark.
According to scriptural prophecy, the Lord Jesus Christ and his glory shall enter the temple mount by way of this eastern gate.
1: Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:
2: And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
3: And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
4: And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
5: So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
6: And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
7: And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcasses of their kings in their high places Ezekiel 43
Christ, as the former context of Ezekiel reveals, first projects himself in fiery judgment upon the sin of Adam, then, as the Lord himself, proceeds in the mercies and blessings of the first resurrection for all who have believed. The purifying ashes of the red heifer represent this judgment. These ashes were kept in the gatehouse of the Beautiful gate. As such these ashes of the red heifer were sprinkled for symbolic purification on those who had come into the presence of a dead body before they were allowed through the Beautiful temple gate to the temple mount. The apostle Paul in his revelation states that the body is dead because of the inherited sin of Adam. (Rom. 8:10) So now, man will only become purified in resurrection for his true entrance first through his own ashes. (Luke 3:16, II Peter 3:10, Malachi 4, I Peter 1:24, John 12:24, I Corinthians 15:22,23,36, Hebrews 12:29, Genesis 18:27, Hebrews 9:27)
1: The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2: To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance (nuance- cleansing) of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3: To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. Isaiah 61
The word beauty here in Isaiah literally means a headdress in the Hebrew language. In the Eastern culture both the bride and the groom wore simple head dressings that denoted the groom’s family identity by tribe and clan. They represented the assumed glory of the union. Accordingly, these wedding headdresses were prized family possessions. They were subsequently worn in public only on the most notable family occasions.
The word beautiful in the phrase “gate of the temple which is called Beautiful” in Acts 3:2 is the Greek word horaios. According to lexicon definitions by Lindell, Scott, Jones and Thayer this word applies to persons and things. It means in due season especially harvest time. It does not necessarily imply beauty but does imply appropriateness in time. (Secularly, in some instances it was used of a young man or young woman who had come to a marriageable age.) Perhaps the lame man laid daily at the Beautiful temple gate in the third chapter of Acts was there waiting for what he knew would be an appropriate location and possible time for him to be made whole - the coming of his Messiah for his resurrection into perfection. This view would be fitting with the scriptures on the subject and with the Arabic name for the gate -The Gate of Eternal Life
In the ancient east the names of temple gates were significant as were the gates believed to lead into and out of heaven. The primary gate of heaven was known as the golden gate. From it, the gods ascended and descended. This gate has been written of from antiquity to modern times.
The Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, written several centuries after the worldwide flood, contained the first reference to this gate. After the death of his beloved companion Enkidu, Gilgamesh searched for answers about how to obtain eternal life from his ancestor Noah who resided in the center of the heavens with the gods. After Gilgamesh crossed the celestial sea he came to the gate in the Mountain of the Sun guarded by scorpion men. This gate opened to a passage that led to a paradisiacal land in which there was another sea with a central island where Noah dwelt. This epic was far reaching in that day and time. It was translated into Akkadian, Elamite, and Hittite. It was also adapted and presented as plays. This epic endured in Near Eastern cultures for over a millennium.
In a similar fashion the second millennium BC Egyptian Book of Gates places Ra, the sun god, in a celestial boat passing through successive guarded gates and passages filled with flames to emerge in the waters of Nu represented by a circle or disk in the sky. Ra then entered the boat of the gods that moved to a central island represented by the circular body of Osiris.
This belief in a gateway to and from heaven has been universally maintained through out the ages in the writings of poets, philosophers, priests, prophets, monks, magi and mystics. It has also been recorded in the symbols of kings and emperors like the imperial seal of Cyrus the Great and the labarum of Constantine. Even today one of the more popular songs is entitled, Knocking on Heaven’s Door and a common figurative expression is the pearly gates referring the entrance to heaven.
Where then is this gate in heaven located? It is located at one of the two points where the two great celestial circles appear to intersect. The first great circle is that of the zodiac. This is the circuit on which the sun proceeds through the heavens during its annual cycle. It is named the ecliptic. The other is the circle of the Milky Way or circle of our galaxy. Its center line is named the galactic equator.
The intersection of the circles between Taurus and Gemini is known as the silver gate of heaven. The intersection of these two circles between Scorpio and Sagittarius is known as the golden gate of heaven. The galactic center lies visually from our solar system along a line that passes through the golden gate.
The ancient celestial signs surrounding the golden gate are revealing.
Ophiuchus is above the golden gate of heaven. He is holding down the malevolent serpent. Jupiter, the king planet, made a unique retrograde motion under the feet of Ophiuchus in 2007. During the Hebrew Feast of Unleavened Bread, the planet visually stopped under the foot of Ophiuchus just beyond the golden gate of heaven. Then on the winter solstice of 2007, Jupiter proceeded to be uniquely in the golden gate of heaven.
Ara, the altar of fire, is below the golden gate. It was commonly know as the golden altar of heaven. In the upper left is Aquila represented dually as a descending eagle/man. In the lower right is Lupus the victim slain or the body of the dead dog. To the center right is Libra, the balances of judgment. And to the left is Sagittarius. Sagittarius was known in the earliest cultures as the place of the mighty ones. The arrow of Sagittarius is pointed at the “opposing” bright star Antares across the golden gate in Scorpio. The glowing galactic center is located far beyond the golden gate.
The Milky Way or galactic circle is present, as are stars and planets, during the daylight hours. However, the light from the sun washes out all these other lights during the daytime. In the East the Magi and other celestial observers noted the position of the sun in the zodiac on a daily basis by observing the stars present just before sunrise.
Because the earth circles the sun, the backdrop of the galactic circle and the stars changes a bit daily. In the course of one year the sun will visually travel clockwise about 1 degree per day around the ecliptic through all twelve constellations of the zodiac and be in nearly the same location on the day ending that year.
From year to year the slight difference in the sun’s location on a given day is imperceptible to human sight. However, if the location on that given day is observed for centuries the difference becomes apparent. For example, on the winter solstice, the proposed day of Jesus’ conception, baptism and transfiguration, in 4004 BC at the creation of man, according to E. W. Bullinger’s chronology, the sun was located above the star Nashira in the east of Capricorn. In the flood year of 2248 BC the sun was located in the west of Capricorn on the winter solstice. In the year when Jesus was crucified in 28 AD the sun was located between Capricorn and Sagittarius on the winter solstice. (Celestron’s, The Sky) Now, in this season, the sun is passing across the golden gate of heaven on the winter solstice.
The movement is termed “procession” and is due to the slow and consistent movement of the earth’s axis as it circles like that of a very slow-motion wobbling top. One cycle in this wobble takes about 26,000 years. This motion causes the sun to move counter-clockwise around the zodiac 1 degree every 72 years.
The ancient cultures like those of the Egyptians and Babylonians were visually aware of this slight westward processional movement of the sun from its succeeding winter solstice positions. And they were aware of the future time period when the sun would cross over this golden gate of heaven on the winter solstice.
Could it be that the writers of the first century Christian document entitled the Didache – The Teaching of the Twelve were referring to this season of what is now called galactic alignment on the winter solstice when they wrote, “Then the signs of truth will appear: First, the sign of heaven opening”? The Greek word for opening means extension such as a sail on a boat unfurling in the wind.
The following is a translation of the last three verses of the Didachce by Ivan Lewis from extant Greek manuscripts with consideration given to the Coptic and Latin texts:
6) Then the signs of truth will appear: First, the sign of heaven opening. Then, the sign of the trumpet sounding. And third, the resurrection of the dead. 7) Yet, not of all, but as it is said: "The Judge will come, and all His angels." 8) Then the world will see the judgment coming on the clouds of heaven.
Modern scholars have noticed the similarity of words and phrases in the Didache with those of the gospel of Matthew. It appears that these final verses of the Didache were adapted from Jesus’ words in this section of Matthew chapter twenty-four:
27: For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28: For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29: Immediately after (meta-with) the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31: And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
The fact that the sun crossing heaven’s golden gate on the winter solstice signaled the end of corrupted man’s tenure on earth was fairly common knowledge in the ancient East. Corresponding evidence also suggests that they knew that corrupted man’s tenure would end about 6,000 years after the “fall” of Adam.
The fourth century BC Greek historian Theopompus of Chios reportedthat, according to the Zurvanian Magi, for three thousand years alternately the one god will dominate the other god and be dominated, and that for another three thousand years they will fight and make war, until one smashes up the domain of the other. (Plutarch, Isis and Osiris 46; tr. J. Gwyn Griffiths) Both the Judean Zohar and the Talmud Sanhedrin state that human history would last six millennia. (Zohar Chadash 16b; Talmud Sanhedrin 38b) The Samaritans were a conglomeration of former Assyrian captives who were used to repopulate the northern kingdom of Israel after the Assyrian conquerors dispersed the native Hebrews in the seventh century BC. The Samaritans believed that 6,000 years after the “fall” of Adam a Restorer would arise for a time before a subsequent time of judgment headed by Moses. (Holman Bible Dictionary, p 1436)
The Easterners are known as the fathers of astronomy. Today there are cuneiform clay tablets scattered under and over sands of the Middle East. Many of these tablets contain precise records of the positions of the stars, sun, moon, and planets on a particular day thousands of years ago. These Easterners are also known as the fathers of complex mathematics in association with celestial mechanics. With these two advanced skills, their more proximate knowledge of the creation date, and their belief in a 6,000 tenure for corrupted man, they could easily calculate the position of the sun in the golden gate on the winter solstice during these days, even if their fathers were not at first informed of it by the patriarch Noah.
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
Both of these gates are known respectively as golden gates. ... In the ancient world, gold represented the gods, silver represented men and copper represented judgment. ... In the Eastern culture both the bride and the groom wore simple head... sea he came to the gate in the Mountain of the Sun guarded by scorpion men.
21 Dec 2008 – The Gate of God was also called the Golden Gate, while the Gate of Men ... The Silver Gate was represented by the horns of Isis and the associated bull Taurus. ... Her name is Serket and she was the deification of the scorpion...
Scorpio as one of the four Cherubim is often replaced by the Eagle ....Isis was the sister and wife of Osiris and she too was thought to be the mother of Horus. ..... since their soul would travel to the Golden Gate or Gate of Gods after dead.
¿Sabía que los sumerios entender que hay una cruz fija en el cielo?
The Ishtar Gate was the 8th gate to Babylon and its walls contained bulls and dragons (serpents) that were depicted interchangeably. La Puerta de Ishtar era la puerta de octavo a Babilonia y sus murallas contenida toros y dragones (serpientes) que fueron representados de manera intercambiable.Through the gate ran the Processional Way into the city to the temple of Marduk. A través de la puerta corrió la Vía Procesional en la ciudad hasta el templo de Marduk.At a right angle to the walls of the gate we find a wall adorned with lions! En un ángulo recto a las paredes de la puerta se encuentra una pared adornada con leones!The Ishtar Gate is symbolizing two of the four Cherubim signs of the zodiac at right angles exactly as they appear on the zodiac and may therefore represent the fixed cross or the Galactic Cross . La Puerta de Ishtar es símbolo de dos de los cuatro signos del zodíaco querubines en ángulo recto tal y como aparecen en el zodíaco y por lo tanto puede representar la cruz fija o la Cruz Galáctica.

The Babylonian deity Ea or Sumerian deity Enki was the precursor of the biblical serpent in the Garden of Eden. La deidad babilónica Ea o Enki sumerio deidad fue el precursor de la serpiente bíblica en el Jardín del Edén.He was the creator of man and therefore also the precursor of the biblical Yahweh-Elohim. Fue el creador del hombre y por lo tanto, también el precursor de la Biblia Yahvé-Elohim.He denied man immortality, changed man's single language into plural languages such that they could no longer understand each other and like Gilgamesh and Noah warned man to build an Ark for the coming Great Flood. Él negó la inmortalidad del hombre, cambió el lenguaje único hombre en lenguas plurales de tal manera que ya no podían entenderse entre sí y como Gilgamesh y Noé advertido al hombre a construir un arca para el diluvio que viene grande.The Great Flood occurred around a Great Celestial Conjunction estimated around 10.500 BC . La gran inundación se produjo en torno a una Gran Conjunción Celestial calcula en torno a 10.500 antes de Cristo.

In the picture on the right Ea/Enki is holding a scorpion in his hands while he's wearing he bull horns very similar to the horns of the Egyptian Isis-Hathor deity who was wearing the bull horns with a solar disk in between her horns ! En la imagen de la derecha Ea / Enki es la celebración de un escorpión en la mano mientras él se llevaba cuernos de toro muy similares a los cuernos de la egipcia Isis-Hathor divinidad que llevaba los cuernos de toro con un disco solar entre los cuernos!
Scorpio and Taurus are two of the four signs of the Galactic Cross and correspond with the Galactic Equator .Escorpio y Tauro son dos de los cuatro signos de la Cruz Galáctica y se corresponden con el Ecuador Galáctico.The Ea/Enki serpents represent the ecliptic and the picture therefore suggests the crossings of the ecliptic with the Galactic Equator . Las serpientes Ea / Enki representar a la eclíptica y la imagen sugiere por lo tanto los cruces de la eclíptica con el ecuador galáctico.
Notice in the pictures on the left that Ea/Enki is seated on a throne with a single four pointed cross on it (the cross of a Great Celestial Conjunction). Observe en las imágenes a la izquierda que Ea / Enki está sentado en un trono con una sola cruz en cuatro señalaron que (la cruz de una conjunción celestial Grande).Water is pouring from his shoulders symbolizing the Milky Way . El agua se vierte desde los hombros simbolizando la Vía Láctea.Ea/Enki as the serpent (ecliptic) intersects with the waters pouring from his shoulders (the Milky Way) and therefore also represents the crossing of the ecliptic and the Milky Way . Ea / Enki como la serpiente (la eclíptica) se cruza con las aguas de vertido de los hombros (la Vía Láctea), por lo que también representa el cruce de la eclíptica y la Vía Láctea.
The two guards next to Ea/Enki guard the gate of the Gods to the underworld that has been associated with the Galactic Equator-ecliptic crossings at the Sagittarius-Scorpio and Gemini-Taurus nexus. Los dos guardias junto a Ea / Enki guardia de la puerta de los dioses a los infiernos que se ha asociado con los galácticos eclíptica Ecuador-cruces en el Sagitario, Escorpio y Tauro, Géminis-nexo.

In the picture above we see Utu/Shamash with the fiery solar rays emanating from his shoulders in his serpent boat ( Ecliptic ) on the waters ( Milky Way ). En la imagen superior vemos a Utu / Shamash con los ardientes rayos del sol que emana de sus hombros en su bote serpiente (Eclíptica) en las aguas (Vía Láctea).Ashore Ishtar ( Vernal Equinox ) is watching.

Tenga en cuenta que el dios Sol está sentado en su trono con un solo período de cuatro señaló cruz?We also see a lion ( Leo ) on board the boat of Utu/Shamash. También vemos un león (Leo), a bordo del barco de Utu / Shamash.This picture I think represents the Great Celestial Conjunction that occurred around the Great Flood 10.500 BC when the vernal equinox (Ishtar) was in Leo . Esta foto creo que representa a la Gran Conjunción Celestial que se produjo en torno a la Gran Inundación 10.500 aC, cuando el equinoccio vernal (Ishtar) estaba en Leo.Shamash as the 8 pointed cross has transformed into the single four pointed cross of his throne!

Sumerian Marduk, 9th century BC cylinder seal found at BabylonSumeria Marduk, del siglo 9 aC el sello del cilindro encontrado en Babilonia
In the picture above we see the Sumerian God Marduk on the waters ( Milky Way ). En la imagen superior vemos el dios sumerio Marduk en las aguas (Vía Láctea).Next to him a serpent ( Ecliptic ) with two horns ( Taurus ) in depicted. Junto a él una serpiente (eclíptica) con dos cuernos (Tauro) en el representado.Notice that Marduk is wearing the 8 pointed cross (Shamash/Uto) necklace (it's damaged in the seal). Tenga en cuenta que Marduk se lleva el 8 puntas cruz (Shamash / UTO) collar (es dañado en el sello).In his hands he's holding the Shenu (O-ring) a symbol very similar to the Egyptian Shen and Ankh and I suggest that it represents the Sun on the Galactic Equator. En sus manos sostiene el Shenu (O-ring) en un símbolo muy similar a la de Shen egipcia y Ankh y yo sugiero que representa el Sol en el ecuador galáctico.The Egyptian Ankh was later given an additional cross sign below the Sun +O such that it would represent the Sun on the crossing of the ecliptic and Milky Way (more on that later). El Ankh egipcio se le dio posteriormente un signo adicional de la cruz por debajo del Sol + O de tal manera que representaría el Sol en el cruce de la Vía Láctea y la Eclíptica (más sobre esto más adelante).This seal could be interpreted to represent again the Great Celestial Conjunction around 10.500 BC this time however it is presented as the summer solstice Sun on the ecliptic-Milky Way crossing at the Gemini-Taurus nexus. Este sello puede ser interpretada para representar de nuevo la Gran Conjunción Celestial torno a 10.500 antes de Cristo en esta ocasión sin embargo, se presenta como el sol del solsticio de verano en la Vía Láctea cruza la eclíptica, en el nexo de Géminis, Tauro
The temple of Dendera is dedicated to the goddess Hathor . El templo de Dendera, está dedicado a la diosa Hathor.Hathor means 'house of Horus' and she was the personification of the Milky Way. Hathor significa "casa de Horus ', y ella era la personificación de la Vía Láctea.In the Egyptian Ogdoad cosmogony , Hathor was said to be the wife of Ra and Horus was their son. Isis was the sister and wife of Osiris and she too was thought to be the mother of Horus. En la cosmogonía egipcia Ogdóada, Hathor se decía que era la esposa de Ra y Horus era su hijo. Isis era la hermana y esposa de Osiris y de ella también se pensaba que era la madre de Horus.Horus was immaculately conceived from the virgin mother Isis. Horus fue concebida inmaculada de la Virgen Isis madre.
Hathor and Isis were later assimilated into Isis-Hathor since they are believed to be one and the same deity in the Egyptian pantheon. Hathor e Isis fueron asimilados más tarde en Isis-Hathor, ya que se cree que son una y la misma deidad en el panteón egipcio.Isis and Hathor are both depicted with cow-horns with a solar disk in between the horns . Isis y Hathor son a la vez representado con cuernos de vaca con un disco solar entre los cuernos.

Right: Isis breastfeeding her son HorusDerecha: Isis amamantando a su hijo Horus
The Lacelestial counterpart of Isis in the sky is the star Sirius , while Osiris celestial counterpart is Orion . equivalente celestial de Isis en el cielo es la estrella Sirio, mientras que Osiris equivalente celestial es Orión.While scholars generally agree that Isis with the horns must be associated with Canis Major the constellation containing Sirius, I suggest that she should be associated with Taurus as will demonstrate. Mientras que los eruditos están de acuerdo en que Isis con los cuernos deben estar asociados con la constelación de Canis Major contiene Sirius, le sugiero que ella debe estar asociado con Tauro como se demostrará.
First of all could the Holy Trinity, Osiris, Horus and Hathor-Isis with the Sun between the horns and the association of Hathor with the Milky Way have something to do with the crossing of the ecliptic and the Milky Way? En primer lugar podría la Santísima Trinidad, Osiris, Horus y Hathor-Isis con el Sol entre los cuernos y la asociación de Hathor con la Vía Láctea tiene algo que ver con el cruce de la eclíptica y la Vía Láctea?

Below is the sky-chart of the summer solstice Great Celestial Conjunction (Galactic Alignment) of 1998 . A continuación se muestra el cielo-chart del solsticio de verano, Gran Conjunción Celestial (Alineación Galáctica) de 1998.Notice how the Sun resides in between the horns of Taurus! Observe cómo el Sol se encuentra en entre los cuernos de Tauro!Sirius, Orion, Taurus (Aldebaran) and the Pleiades are in line and form Osiris's backbone ! Sirio, Orión, Tauro (Aldebaran) y las Pléyades se encuentran en línea y forman la columna vertebral de Osiris!(The Pleiades are part of the constellation Taurus). (Las Pléyades son parte de la constelación de Tauro).The Pleiades show the way to the Sun on the Milky Way as we have demonstrated in our article ' Stonehenge Summer Solstice Galactic Alignment ' and ' 2012 Freemasons Revelations '. Las Pléyades mostrar el camino hacia el Sol en la Vía Láctea como hemos demostrado en nuestro artículo ' Verano Alineación Galáctica del Solsticio de Stonehenge 'y' Apocalipsis 2012 Freemasons '.
The importance of the crossing of the ecliptic and the Milky Way is expressed in several Egyptian texts such as in the Pyramid texts: ' May you ferry over by means of the Great Bull ' and ' The Bull of the Sky has bent down his horn that he may pass over thereby '. La importancia del cruce de la eclíptica y la Vía Láctea se expresa en varios textos egipcios como en los textos de las pirámides: "Que ferry a través del Gran Toro" y "El Toro del Cielo se ha doblado su cuerno se puede pasar por encima de lo que '.In the Coffin texts we find the expression: ' O Horn, ferry across Him who is in his shrine '. En los Textos de los Sarcófagos encontramos la expresión: "¡Oh Horn, ferry a través de lo que está en su santuario.I suggest that these texts hint at the precession of the Sun; it's Horus who needs a ferry across the Milky Way river near the Gemini-Taurus nexus. Sugiero que estos textos apuntan a la precesión del Sol, es Horus, que necesita de un ferry que cruza el río de la Vía Láctea, cerca del nexo de Géminis-Tauro.Have a look at the next picture and see what the symbolism of Isis-Hathor represents. Echa un vistazo a la siguiente imagen y ver lo que el simbolismo de Isis-Hathor representa.

There is another crossing of the Milky Way near the Sagittarius-Scorpio nexus where Horus requires a ferry to cross the Milky Way in the precession cycle. Hay otro cruce de la Vía Láctea, cerca del nexo de Sagitario, Escorpio-donde Horus requiere un transbordador para cruzar la Vía Láctea en el ciclo de precesión.In the papyrus Khensumes the God Nun appears with outstretched arms and holds aloft the solar bark of the Heavens. En el papiro Khensumes la monja Dios aparece con los brazos extendidos y la sostiene en alto la barca solar de los Cielos.The ship is made of two cosmic serpents (representing the ecliptic). La nave está formada por dos serpientes cósmicas (en representación de la eclíptica).In the Egyptian creation myths Nun is the female deity of the waters of chaos, the primeval waters . En la creación egipcia mitos Nun es la deidad femenina de las aguas del caos, las aguas primordiales.

The boat Nun is lifting is occupied by 8 deities including the scarab deity Khepera . El barco se está levantando Nun está ocupada por 8 deidades como el Khepera deidad escarabajo.In the Egyptian mythology the scarab beetle (dung beetle) Khepera pushed the rolling Sun along the ecliptic with his hind legs, just like the scarab beetle rolls his dung ball around all day. En la mitología egipcia el escarabajo (escarabajo) Khepera empujó el Sol de rodadura a lo largo de la eclíptica con sus patas traseras, al igual que el escarabajo lanza su bola de estiércol de todo el día.From the dung ball of the scarab beetle the eggs of the beetle are hatched and therefore the dung ball can not only be associated with the Sun but with birth as well . Khepera was a minor solar deity in the Egyptian pantheon but he was associated with rebirth and resurrection, as such he may represent the rebirth of the Sun on the Galactic Cross . Desde la bola de estiércol del Escarabajo de los huevos del escarabajo son incubados y por lo tanto, la bola de estiércol no sólo puede estar asociado con el Sol, pero con el nacimiento también. Khepera era una deidad menor solar en el panteón egipcio, pero que se asoció con el renacimiento y la resurrección, como tal, puede representar el renacimiento del Sol en la Cruz Galáctica.The fact that the scarab beetle pushes the dung ball (Sun) with his hind legs backwards suggests that he should be associated with precession . El hecho de que el escarabajo empuja la bola de estiércol (Sol), con sus patas traseras hacia atrás sugiere que se le asocia con la precesión.While the Sun moves through the zodiac in a tropical year in one direction, the precession of the equinox Sun along the ecliptic moves in the opposite direction! Mientras que el Sol se mueve a través del zodiaco en un año tropical en una dirección, la precesión de los equinoccios el Sol se mueve a lo largo de la eclíptica en la dirección opuesta!The scarab beetle pushing the Sun backwards along the ecliptic is expressing exactly this aspect of precession. El escarabajo empujando el sol atrás a lo largo de la eclíptica está expresando exactamente este aspecto de la precesión.
In the artefact of Sheshong we see the scarab beetle flanked by two cobras that emerge from the Shen (O| ring). En el artefacto de Sheshong vemos el Escarabajo flanqueado por dos cobras que se desprenden del Shen (O | anillo).The cobras suggest the ecliptic while the Shen suggest the crossings of the ecliptic and Milky Way. Las cobras sugieren la eclíptica, mientras que el Shen sugieren los pasos de la Vía Láctea y la Eclíptica.Tutankhamun's cartouche contained a scarab beetle with the Sun inside the Shen glyph , which most likely expresses the idea of the Sun on the ecliptic-Milky Way crossing. Cartucho de Tutankamon contenían un escarabajo con el Sol en el interior del glifo Shen, que muy probablemente expresa la idea de que el Sol en el cruce de Vía Láctea, la eclíptica-.
The scarab beetle, the scorpion and the crab all have hard shells and are very similar in appearance. El escarabajo, el escorpión y el cangrejo tienen conchas duras y son muy similares en apariencia.The scarab beetle may also have been used as the sign of Scorpio. El escarabajo también puede haber sido utilizado como el signo de Escorpio.The scarab beetle rolling the Sun on the ecliptic may express the idea of the Sun precessing through the Galactic Equator near the Sagittarius-Scorpio nexus. El Escarabajo de rodar el Sol sobre la eclíptica puede expresar la idea de la precesión Sol a través del ecuador galáctico, cerca del nexo de Sagitario-Escorpio.Notice that there is a cross ( Tau Cross ) in the shell of the scarab beetle that was also depicted in Egyptian Hieroglyphs. Tenga en cuenta que hay una cruz (Tau de la Cruz) en la cáscara del escarabajo que también fue representada en los jeroglíficos egipcios.The scarab beetle as a symbol expresses perfectly the crossing of the ecliptic and Milky Way near Scorpio. El escarabajo como un símbolo expresa perfectamente el cruce de la Vía Láctea cerca de la eclíptica y Escorpio.In the picture below the sky chart of the winter solstice of 1998 is depicted. En la foto debajo del mapa del cielo del solsticio de invierno de 1998 se representa.

In the artefact depicted below, the two symbols that represent the two zodiac signs that correspond with the crossings of ecliptic and Milky Way are placed in barques and combined in one artefact. En el artefacto se muestra a continuación, los dos símbolos que representan los dos signos del zodíaco que corresponden a los cruces de Vía Láctea, la eclíptica y se colocan en barcas y se combinan en un solo artefacto.The barque expresses the fact that we are dealing with a crossing of the ecliptic and Milky Way since this is the place where the precessing Sun passes the great river in the sky, the Milky Way. La barca expresa el hecho de que se trata de un cruce de la Vía Láctea, la eclíptica, y ya que este es el lugar donde el Sol pasa precesión del gran río en el cielo, la Vía Láctea.Above we see the winged solar disk with two serpents representing the ecliptic. Arriba vemos el disco solar alado con dos serpientes que representan a la eclíptica.
Se llevaba como protección contra las picaduras o mordeduras de insectos y serpientes venenosas . se confeccionaba generalmente en malaquita o turmalina verde, como colgante o anillo. Se lo asociaba a los signos de Virgo y Escorpio.
protección contra la envidia las traiciones, que al que lo lleve no le afecte o se diera cuenta de antemano
Escarabajo
Escarabajo Egipcio, cuyo pueblo lo denominaba Ra Men Kepher, que significa ." Ra Creador del Universo", se utilizaba para mantener alejada a las desgracias y las enfermedades. Se lo relacionaba con el signo de Géminis y se lo confeccionaba en lapislázuli, azurita o sugilita, como piedra engarzada en anillos o brazaletes.
El Escarabajo pelotero, representación de la vida, adorado y venerado por los antiguos egipcios era utilizado como amuleto para dar vitalidad y fortaleza a los vivos, para protegerse de las enfermedades, de los peligros, de los conjuros y de las maldiciones de los enemigos. Se usaban y regalaban como objetos que otorgaban buena suerte o que ayudaban a que se cumplieran los buenos deseos. Y cuando las personas morían les facilitaba el tránsito a la otra vida. Todavía en nuestros días el símbolo del escarabajo conserva un gran valor. Actualmente es muy popular como amuleto de la suerte, además de utilizarse como símbolo de vida eterna y como protección contra el mal.
EL WEDJET
(ojo de Horus )
Era uno de los más poderosos amuletos, que protegía especialmente la incisión practicada en la momia para ex- traer sus órganos. Al ojo se le representó, desde hace miles de años, con un círculo con un punto en el centro, el mismo símbolo que representa al Sol y, por lo tanto, representa el poder de lo eterno, que no cambia con el tiempo. Por eso, este talismán ayuda a lograr una posición y estabilidad, otorgando fijeza de objetivos. Proporciona fuerza, coraje y sabiduría. Fue muy usado en collares para proteger de miradas envidiosas
Talismán para protegerse de los encantamientos malignos, ataques arteros, traiciones, mal de ojo, y enfermedades de todo tipo.
Ankh
Otro de los más importantes talismanes era el Ankh o LA CRUZ ANSATA que simbolizaba la vida. La argolla superior representa la entrada del agua que inundaba el valle del Nilo y producía la fertilidad. A menudo se la representó en la mano de los faraones egipcios, en cuya coronación jugaba un importante papel. Dicen que del símbolo del Ankh surgió el símbolo del planeta Venus, por lo que también se relaciona con la espiritualidad, ya que el símbolo consiste en un círculo sobre una cruz, es decir, el espíritu predominando sobre la materia. Portar un talismán con el Ankh significa solicitar fertilidad y abundancia. Pero también un paso más: ir en pos de la espiritualidad.
21 Dec 2008 – The Gate of God was also called the Golden Gate, while the Gate of Men ... The Silver Gate was represented by the horns of Isis and the associated bull Taurus. ... Her name is Serket and she was the deification of the scorpion...
Scorpio as one of the four Cherubim is often replaced by the Eagle ....Isis was the sister and wife of Osiris and she too was thought to be the mother of Horus. ..... since their soul would travel to the Golden Gate or Gate of Gods after dead.
El escarabajo, en el Antiguo Egipto, tenía un gran valor sagrado. Representa la vida y la resurrección. Otros animales sagrados eran: -El toro: Dios funerario -El carnero: Dios del poder -La vaca: Representación de los dioses Isis y Nathor -El cocodrilo: Representación del dios Sobek -El ibis: Dios funerario -El alcón: Representación del dios Horus Otros animales sagrados fueron la cobra, los babuinos, el gato, el pez oxirinco, el león, el buitre, la garza, el ganso, el avestruz, la rana, el escorpión, el escarabajo, el hipopótamo, la liebre y el cerdo.
Los egipcios notaron que esas inundaciones coincidían cada 365 días, para lo cual debieron desarrollar sistemas de conteo y sumas y restas. Elaboraron un calendario de doce ciclos sobre la base de las fases lunares. De ahí surgió el primer calendario anual conocido. Se componía de doce meses de treinta días cada uno, y al final, se añadían cinco días adicionales. Este calendario fue el origen del que hoy usamos. Se acepta que hacia el s. XXVIII a.e.c. (hace unos 4800 años), ya se hallaba en uso. Las inundaciones anuales disolvían las formas y dimensiones de los predios de labranza. Esta circunstancia era crítica para estimar los sembrados y cosechas. Este fue el origen de técnicas de medición yu cálculo de longitudes y superficie; es decir: la geometría, o "medición de la tierra". En los pueblos agrícolas suele suceder que se observa que las semillas siguen un ciclo de nacimiento, vida, muerte aparente y resurreción. En el caso egipcio se relacionó con el ciclo del dios de la vegetación, Osiris, quien enseñó a los hombres las artes de los cultivos. Fue muerto por su hermano menor Set (asociado a la esterilidad y la muerte del desierto), descuartizó su cuerpo y lo sembró en el cielo, los cual aportó la explicación de las estrellas del firmamento, que aparecen en la noche. Isis la amorosa esposa de Osiris, recuperó casi todos los fragmentos del cuerpo de éste. Pero le faltó iuno de ellos. Así que Osiris no pudo reinar sobre los hombres, y se reservó el reino de las almas de éstos, en el inframundo, a donde descendían las almas de los muertos. El hijo de Osiris e Isis, Horus, venció y mató a Set, con lo que se consolidó el triunfo de la vida sobre la muerte. Este ciclo se asoció con el día. El sol poniente, Osiris, declinaba hasta morir en la noche, en que aparecían los astros nocturnos; Isis era representada por la luna, que caminaba por el cielo en busca de los fragmentos de su marido; la noche representaba el triunfo de Set; el sol naciente, Horus, representaba el triunfo de la vida y la luz sobre la muerte y la oscuridad.

These are very telling in light of what happened in/around August 2003.
Slightly less direct, but equally telling is the 9/11 connection:
The date September 11 in the Gregorian calendar used today almost always coincides with the New Year's Dayfor the Ethiopian and Coptic or Christian-Egyptian calendars. The ancient Egyptian New Year's Day ('1st of Thoth') was originally set to mark the heliacal rising of Sirius which today takes place around August 6 Gregorian (as viewed from Giza/Cairo). So it can easily be said that August 6 is September 11!
As revealed in the recent public 9/11 Commission hearings (spring '04), the President of the United States was explicitly warned of an imminent al-Qaeda terrorist attack inside the US in a PDB (Presidential Daily Brief) memo dated August 6, '01. This was only a month before 9/11 and yet the White House inexplicably took no preventive actions. This was and still is one of the biggest controversies to come out of the official 9/11 investigation so far.
There is a connection between 9/11 and Mars to underscore the emerging nature of the date, Aug. 6.
First, the summer of 2001 was, like in 2003, marked by a Martian close encounter. It was during June, instead of August, that the Mars 'flyby' took place. Not as spectacular as that of 2003, but the Red Planet was a prominent light in the night sky. On June 13-14 (2001), Mars was at 'opposition' (i.e. 180 degrees away from the Sun) and it made its closest approach to Earth several days later on June 21.
Mars Opposition (June 2001)
On the same day, June 21, there was a total solar eclipse - as if to commemorate the Martian visit. In fact, June 21 was even the day of summer solstice (midsummer)!
So, while not as historic, the 2001 Mars opposition closely preceding the events of 9/11 was spectacular - or in hindsight 'ominous' - in its own way.
It still 'missed' 9/11 by about 3 months... Actually, it did not miss. It hit the bull's-eye perfectly - in a coded form:
September 11Gregorian corresponds to 'Thoth 1' (New Year's Day) of the Egyptian calendar which was originally marked by the heliacal/dawn rising of Sirius. In the early phase of the ancient Egyptian civilization the Sirius rising (accompanied by the annual Nile flood) coincided with the summer solstice. It was a 'magical' day that the Egyptians naturally used to anchor their calendar. So by highlighting June 21 (i.e. Gregorian summer solstice), the special Mars opposition event in 2001 conceptually pinpointed September 11, the historical/Egyptian summer-solstice date!
On 9/11, there was another remarkable combination of summer solstice, Mars, and the Moon (i.e. all the key players of the June 21 alignment except the Sun). As the earthshaking events of 9/11 were unfolding on the planet, up in the heavens was observed the following configuration: 1) the Moon was at the summer-solstice point (i.e. where the Sun would be on the midsummer day); 2) Mars was positioned exactly 180 degrees away from the Moon on the opposite side of the sky, closely marking the winter-solstice point; and 3) consequently there was a tight Mars-Earth-Moon alignment bridging the two solstice points!
As the above illustrations show, the solstice points today are neatly indicated by the intersections of the apparent path of the Sun ('ecliptic', green line) and the Milky Way ('galactic equator', blue band). This arrangement is coincidental/temporary and is thus astronomically quite special. Some view these points as something akin to 'stargates'.
Now, the prophetic quality of all this dramatically increases as we progress forward (from 9/11/01). Mars opposition occurs approximately every 26 months, so the Sun-Earth-Mars alignment would be established again in the summer of 2003 - specifically on Aug. 28. As already discussed, it seemed to have 'anticipated' the 'Martian' event of Schwarzenegger entering politics on August 6. The same type of code was used here since Aug. 6 is or represents the actual day on which Sirius' heliacal rising occurs in our epoch. Through Sirius, June 21, Sept. 11, and Aug. 6 are but different expressions of the same archetypal date!
This calendrical link is reinforced by one of Schwarzenegger's nicknames being 'The Oak'. In pagan tradition, the 'Oak King' is associated with midsummer which is also reflected in the fact that the Christian version of the Oak King, John the Baptist, has his feast day on June 24, intended to mark the summer solstice (~June 21).
La Cruz de tau, también llamada cruz de San Antonio, cruz de Santa Tecla, o por simplificación, tau,[1] es una figura emblemática en forma de T y que habitualmente se representa con los extremos de sus brazos ampliados. Es un símbolo empleado por la Orden franciscana como signo distintivo de los miembros de sus diferentes organizaciones.
La Tau corresponde a la última letra del alfabeto hebreo y a la decimonovena del alfabeto griego, aunque también fue un símbolo utilizado en otras culturas como la Egipcia (el símbolo de la vida eterna o cruz ansada: el anj). Fue el santo egipcio San Antón (Antonio Abad) quien primero la usó como distintivo cristiano y por ello es llamada más propiamente como cruz de San Antón. Con color azul sobre el pecho de un hábito negro, era el uniforme distintivo de los miembros de la Orden de San Antonio. Símbolo del dios Matras de los Persas y de Aryans de la India. Para ellos, Mathras era el ángel de luz, o la luz celestial. Es usado por modernos masones como símbolo de la T cuadrada.
