Duamutef, one of the founders of Astrology

The secret of Anubis - Duamutef or Tuamutef
Behind the many layers of Anubis, lies a truth which cannot be denied. Through his nature we are lead to the magnificent guardians of the Coffin, guardian of the four corners of the Earth. Duamutef which is a fascinating creature of the four guardians is another Jackal but a separate character from Anubis. Duamutef/Tuamute is actually believed to the one of the founders of the Zodiac.

To understand this level of ancient Egyptian knowledge, you must open your mind to symbolism and history written by poets and artist who paint it in wonderful colors. It is a history written in a mysterious way, and only few come close to understanding the complete picture.
When we speak about Duamutef/Tuamutef, we are actually speaking about one of the four sons of Horus; these are the four guardians ‘jars’ which are also referred to as the canopic jars, where the deceased organs were placed in. And when we are speaking of these four blessed ones, we are actually also speaking about the seven divine beings. The four sons of Horus are actually a part of the seven divine beings, where the three are hardly spoken about. As you can see, there is a complex system behind the gods and goddess, but remember these are the heavenly gods, those above the earthly gods. There is no temple dedicated to these gods, yet they are older and more complex than the gods and goddess that are mostly mentioned.
Some believe that the Jackal is actually not a divinity in the manner that we understand it, but is rather a ‘type’ to be even more precise the ‘Judgment type’ below as well as above. This is further proven by the ancient texts, in the different manners we find the jackal character in. In one passage in the book of the dead, the seven divine beings (the sons of Horus) are seen standing behind the Anubis chest. And the text clearly distinguish that one is the Anubis chest, and Duamutef/Tuamutef is standing besides his six divine brothers.

Duamutef - Tuamutef's name
The Four sons of Horus are;
Imsety – South Duamutef – East
Hapy – North Qebesenuef - West
As the four sons (and even souls) of Horus, they were the friends of the deceased, helping in rituals as well as guiders in the ‘passing’.

In my book ‘The secret of Anubis, the winter Triangle’ I make parallels to the ancient Greek world and how they saw the stars. It focuses on the zodiac as it is in the Dendera temple, and shows a clear and visible connection between Egyptian gods and goddess and the universe, a real star map from the ancient’s that shows the beginning of the souls journey among the stars.

They are the keepers of time and the followers of the soul.

One on one with Lady Sekhmet

Karima standing between two Sekhmet statues

Please do note, that I am not standing on the ancient monument, but actually behind it.
I would never be so disrespectful.

Every God and goddess of the ancient days, has two sides to their nature. On one hand they were protective, but on the other hand they were also destructive. The Lion-headed goddess Sekhmet was as destructive as the Sun itself, and through his fire she would almost destroy mankind.

She was also known as the Great Lady beloved of Ptah holy one powerful one, Eye of Ra. Sekhmet’s name means ‘powerful’ or ‘the female powerful one’
She was razor sharp like the Sun’s rays, in her most destructive nature she would breathe fire unto mankind.
The hot desert winds were said to be the breath of Sekhmet.

The Destruction of mankind.
She was a vital character in one of the ‘Eye’ myths, known as the destruction of mankind. When Ra became an old man, humans started to plot against him. Ra then sent Sekhmet forth to teach humans a lesson, but Sekhmet became so intoxicated by human blood, that she was unable to stop her rage. It was actually Hathor that was sent out in the form of Sekhmet, to teach mankind a lesson. Ra could not bear to see his child in such a blood rush and he took pity on mankind. But Ra had granted her so much divine power, that not even he could stop her. Ra would have to trick Sekhmet.
He sent a messenger that was as quick as the wind itself, to Elephantine Island in Aswan. The messenger was instructed to bring Ra a very large quantity of the fruit called Mandrake, because its juice was as red as blood. And in large quantities the fruit caused great sleepiness. Over one night this fruit was turned into thick wine that would trick the eye of anyone. Ra had mankind help in spreading the wine every where they could, the task was done shortly before dawn. Sekhmet had been sleeping all night, her ruthless hunts each day made her sleep deeply at night. When she awoke, she was again hungry for a fight and for the taste of the mortal’s blood. As she walked into a field she saw the land bathing in what she thought was blood. She happily thought it was her doing, and she smiled. She bent down to drink of it, and the more she drank the more she wanted. What Sekhmet did not know, was that she was actually drinking the Mandrake fruit that had been mixed with barely (beer). She finally fell into a deep sleep, and her father called a whisper into the air “Come, come in peace, O fair and gracious goddess.” And so did the killing spree end. Ra ruled on, but created a celebration of this event in the city of Amen.

Sekhmet is a very old goddess, she is mentioned in the Pyramid Texts as being the one that conceived the king. She could protect against plagues, as she could cause them, she was also a healing deity. She was the consort of Ptah and the mother of Nefertem.

Personal note:
There are several lioness goddesses in ancient Egyptian mythology. Animals played a key role in their beliefs, very often reflecting both the nature of man and animal. The ancient Egyptians were masters of the duality in nature, and everything they did was meticulous and reflected nature’s perfect duality between man and animal.

ANUBIS of Ancient Egypt

 

Posted by WindBlowerTM in , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Or Anpu;

The more you get into the Gods and goddess of ancient Egypt, the more you will realize how complex it really was, and one must acknowledge how complex their religious beliefs were.

Anubis in Abydos - By Karima L.
I took this picture in Abydos

The famous Anubis, is much more than our minds today can comprehend. You will find him on temple walls, and in the most ancient text of Egypt namely the pyramid texts (2600 B.C.) He is much older than Osiris, and his ancient (city) Nome is Abydos (read about the temple of time - The temple of a million years)

What precisely Anubis means, has been lost, because of its ancient times. He was the son of many different gods and goddess, as time would come to change, so would the people’s views about who was connected to who.
His connection to Osiris and how fare back this god is can be seen in the ‘judgment scene’ from the book of the dead. He might even have more power than Osiris in this scene, in that Anubis/Duamutef is able to be active and is the ‘weigher’ of hearts, where as Osiris is always seen in a mummified state – immovable.
judgment sceneSome of his titles were:
"Foremost of the Westerners"
"The lord of the scared land"
"He who is upon his scared mountain"
“Ruler of the bows”
“He who is in the place of embalming”
“Foremost of the divine booth”.

He is also thought to be a star (or at least one of his character-like beings is)
Some believed Anubis meant, time.

The Greeks and Roman also chose to portray Anubis.

Input; Is also said to be the female counterpart of Anubis – (She had her own cult in one of the Upper Egyptian nome’s).

Wepwawet (or Ap-uat); (An unusual name if you ask me).
Probably the oldest known Jackal god in ancient Egypt. His name Wapwawet means “Opener of the ways”. (To me this character reminds me a lot of Tuamutef/Duamutef).


Duamutef or Tuamutef; Is one of the heavenly sons of Horus, the heavenly sons of Horus are four together, and with their tree hidden brothers, they make up the Seven divine beings. They are said to live among the stars, as guardians of Osiris.

I have my own personal fascination with this creature, and my own personal journey, I adore him especially in the form of Tuamutef/Duamutef. My book ‘the secret of Anubis, the winter triangle’ is actually about this beautiful animal. He is a separate character from Anubis, and very vital to the Egyptian beliefs system. He was a guide for the soul.

In the start of the book you will get a quick introduction to Anubis, and some of his story from ancient Egypt. As you read on you will take another step into a parallel world of the ancient Greeks, and reveal a very visible connection between the character of Anubis and to that of the constellation of Canis Major, where Sirius is located. Sirius was the queen of the decan’s, and with her the new year would begin. If Canis Major is Anubis the good of the passing, then it would be most duality fitting that his nose would be that of Sirius – as they did not believe in death (that would have been Hell for them) they would be given life again.
It’s a book about the Seven divine beings, which stands behind the Great bear, as they guard the path of Osiris.

    The mystical objects…  

    Posted by WindBlowerTM in , , , , , , ,

    PART #02
    The great Pyramid at Giza is more known for its magnificent size and the architectural design and measurements. Even today it stands much greater than any other ancient monument of ancient Egypt, its perfection is still incredible clear. But there are many mysterious sides to the Pyramids, which are hardly mentioned, and here is one.

    An interesting fact;
    Is about what was found inside the actual great pyramid at Giza.
    In 1872 a man named Waynman Dixon were exploring the great pyramid’s queen’s chamber, when he came to discover two shafts, one in the north wall and one in the south wall. The shafts were actually hidden (but only in this chamber), and so he removed the rocks until he came to the shaft ‘canal’.

    Dixon found;
    • A small piece of a wood staff/rod thing
    • A small bronze hook
    • A Granite sphere/ball

    the Dixon Relics
    These items can be found at the British museum -
    Also known as the Dixon Relics.

    The rod/staff piece which he found, seems to be lost or something? ? Some believe that there could have been preformed Carbon 14 analyses of the wood piece, so they would have a date of the objects (or rather one of the object).
    In 1993 the German Engineer Rudolf Gantenbrink investigated the shafts of the Queen’s chamber, with a small video camera which was attached upon a mini robot. One of the pictures showed what you see upon the picture below. Two rod/staff like objects, one was Dixons rod, and the other one looked a lot like the piece of what Dixon had found back in 1872.
    The Dixon Relics
    click to read the article by Zahi Hawass

    It will be interesting to see when these objects are taken out of the shaft, even more interesting would be when the rod/staff like object dates too.

    I haven’t heard anything about, what these objects could have been used for. I believe there is some suspicion about the hook and the shafts doors which are still blocked.

    Personal note:
    When I saw that program on national geographic, where they took the small camera robot as fare as they could and hit a door, I had an interesting thought.
    When they made a little hole to see what lay beyond the shaft door, they were met by rock material. I clearly remembered that I thought it was a round thing of some sort, I could see some curves which are mostly found in round surfaces, and for me the material looked a lot like the material of the granite ball that Dixon found.

    The mystical sphere of Dr. Ray Brown  

    Posted by WindBlowerTM in , , , , , ,

    PART #01

    All through our history there have been theories about some sort of ancient and supreme knowledge, even a notion of something from the outside (from outer space). Could one of these supreme technologies be illustrated through Dr. Ray Brown’s mystical sphere?

    The mystical sphere of Dr. Ray Brown - Picture from Mat Toth's book

    In 1970, he and some other professional divers were diving for sunken treasure from old boats, near the Bahamas islands. They were returning to this specific place, because they had found it interesting back in 1968.
    What happen next seems as remarkable as the object itself, and should be told through Dr. Ray Brown’s own words;
    It was not me that discovered the ancient underwater city, others we have spoken with, had noticed the ruins many years before. As soon as we arrived to the area a violent storm hit us, so we hid around one of the near by islands, until the storm had past. Even thou we had lost a lot of our equipments, we decided to dive as soon as the storm had passed.
    It was very dark in the water. As soon as we came to the area, where we had seen something back in 1968, we saw buildings, even thou it was dark, we could just see the outer lines of buildings. We moved the boat backwards and forwards, and everywhere we looked, there were buildings. We chose a place and dropped the Anker, and in an almost panicky mode, we jumped over board. We were five divers, and I was the last man in. It is a good idea to swim two and two, especially when diving in remote areas. All the time I could see a pair of swimming fins in front of me, and I struggled to keep up with them. Under one try, to catch up with them, I became too exhausted, so I stopped to rest upon a coral reef.
    I saw the golden sunlight twinkle through the murky water, and realized that the light came out of a pyramid. I just sat there starring at it, because it could simply not be there, and I wished that it did not disappear. The sunlight came from the backside of the pyramid, which spread the light in each direction with a glittering effect. It was as thou someone had painted this magnificent picture. I thought, ‘If you only had a camera!’ Then I would have been able to capture this moment in time, which was the greatest sight I had ever seen, more beautiful than any sunset which nature had let me see. A Brilliant sight! It had colors and something beautiful about it.
    As soon as I came to myself, I realized that what I was looking at was concrete.
    It existed. And instead of just sitting on the coral reef watching it, I swam over there.
    Only a part of the pyramid was sticking out of the sea bottom. I could see around 90 feet of it, judging by the shape it looked like an Egyptian pyramid, and might be even bigger. The pyramid had a mirror blank surface. It consisted of stone, very polished stones – A remarkable skilled construction. The polished cover stones were placed so close together, that I do not think a raiser blade could fit in between them. We do not understand how people were able to put such beautiful stones together so closely. The stones had sloping edges, they did not fit smoothly together.
    I swam around the top of the pyramid. There were heavy waves, so it was dangerous to be near the top, which I rounded for the third time. On the way down I came across an opening. I had not seen this opening before, and I know that I studied the building carefully. I can not explain why the opening wasn’t there before and then suddenly it was there – I am only telling you this as how I remembered it.
    My first thought was: Where there is an opening, there must be a door. I again looked very carefully, but I could not find any. There was only the opening, and no door. Nothing that could be opened. Curiosity conquered me, and I swam inside the opening. I passed a hall which was right behind the opening, and then I came to a magnificent room. The room must have been in the top part of the pyramid, when looking at the whole pyramid. The opening was placed half way down the visible part of the pyramid. The room was rectangular with a pyramid shape ceiling. In the ceiling’s top point hang a metallic rod/staff. The rod/staff was around 3 inches thick and looked like gold, but apparently it was a different material than gold. In the middle of the room stood some sort of platform of carved rock, above it was coated with a flat amour like plate with retractable edges. Two natural sizes metal hands were placed upon the plate, they were holding a crystal sphere. The rod/staff that hang from the ceiling was pointed directly at the crystal sphere. A polished sharp red stone was attached at the end of the rod/staff.
    There stood seven huge chairs around the platform, one of the chairs were placed a little big higher, it was placed upon its own stone platform. I swam up to the ceiling, and with my feet placed against the ceiling, I tried to pull the rod/staff form its place. I felt very sure that it was gold. The rod/staff would not move an inch. I realized that I needed help to collect this treasure. I knew that the other divers only had half of their oxygen left, and they would probably not dive again. So I decided to take something back with me, so I could show the other divers some proof of what I had seen. I took out my knife and tried to scratch some material of the rod/staff, but it only broke my knife blade. Even thou my knife were of the hardest material – Harden steel. And there was not a mark on the rod/staff! I swam back down towards the chairs and the platform, where I sat down in one of the chairs. They were comfortable to sit in with armrests. After I had rested my thoughts a little bit, I was again drawn to the crystal sphere, which had a radiant bright light coming from it. I looked around the room, to see if anything seemed loose which I could take back with me. Because all the time I was thinking: “Is this real? It is so beautiful, that it might be a dream vision.” I grabbed in between the hands, and the crystal sphere moved. It was loose! I took it with me.
    The hands which the crystal sphere was held by had a bronze like color, the palms of the hands were golden like the rod/staff. But they were also black, like it had been burned either by fire or another kind of high energy. I was a little bit scared as I removed the sphere. If it could burn the metal, what then might it do to me? I grabbed it and nothing happened.
    I stopped for a second, a moment of peace. And now there was this voice, not polite and very clear. It seemed like the voice came from the building itself, from all sides around me. Like some kind of radio wave, instructing me: “You came and have what you came for. Leave now and never return again”.
    When I came back to the surface and the boat, had every one of the divers, had some similar experience. Each had found some artifact and had brought one thing back with them. Some of the artifacts were peculiar looking things, one looking like a calculator with windows, but without the buttons. We never figured out how they worked, or what they might be used for. I have since dived in the Bermuda triangle, but never in this area, and I never wish to go back to this place.

    The words of Dr. Ray Brown.
