The Area of
Ancient Heliopolis... Today
The ancient site
of Heliopolis.... lies in the
northeastern
extreme
of greater Cairo in a district
known as Mataria,
or Matariya. (Like Maitreya? The
Coming Avatar).
For years, it was
mostly so isolated... that tourists
rarely
visited the site. Of course, all that
was really there... for them
to see...
was a red granite Obelisk...
belonging to Senusret I
(though the oldest ... in Egypt... which
originally stood with its
twin.... (Like
"Twin Towers").... before the
Temple of Amun),
some tombs... in
the area... and for
the Christian explorers,
the nearby Tree... of the Holy Virgin.
Today, the Supreme Council
of Antiquities (SCA)... is more
fully... developing... the site... and
indeed, it may someday
become... a much more important... tourist
destination.
Not until the present chairman... of
the SCA, Zahi Hawass,
did this site.... receive much attention.
During Pharaonic times,
ancient "On", known later to the
Greeks... as Heliopolis, was
the center of the sun cult, a
religious center... and perhaps,
one of
the three most important cities...
of ancient Egypt.
"The word 'images'
in the Bible.... is translated... from
several
different Hebrew words. One of these
words, 'atzebah,' which means 'standing images'
or obelisks (I Kings 14:23; 2 Kings 18:4; 23:14; Jer. 43:13;
Micah 5:13).
Another word... is
'hammanim' which means 'sun images,'
images dedicated to the sun.... or obelisks
(Isaiah 17:8; 27:9). Unknown to our modern archaeologists and historians, a
science of optics and a sophisticated technology.... for the
manufacture of lenses.... was widespread and fundamental in
ancient times. It inspired awe... in cultures who used it, so that
it permeated their
mythologies and religious, and led even to a
'theology of light' in mediaeval Christianity.
Now at least... we can know... how it was... that the earliest
Egyptians surveyed their pyramids... and other structures... with
such uncanny precision; along with
their rockets... and flying machines.... they used the equivalent of theodolites...
with lenses, and were masters.... of optical surveying techniques.
We can also understand... how for thousands of years... the
ancients... were able
to produce miniature carvings... on gems, including some so small... they are invisible to the naked eye altogether.
The burning mirror... by which Archimedes destroyed a Roman
fleet.... has been
successfully reconstructed and proven to work.
The Greek philosopher Democritus... spoke of the moon...
having mountains and being a second earth....
because he had viewed it .... through a rudimentary telescope. A similar
instrument was used.... for studying the moon by the ancient British, and
Temple.... has located many lost crystal lenses... in English
museums. I am certain.... they also
had laser technology.
Myths are explained, and many religious motifs.... can now be understood... for
the first time, from the Eye of Cyclops and the
Eye of Horus.... to the fire...
that Prometheus.... brought from
heaven.
Obelisks and other monoliths…. hold
the sacred mysteries….
which were known…. to the ancient
religions..... of Solar Technology... and
electromagnetic waves.... from the Sun.
Not only did they
represent "shems" or "rockets", they
served as "hollow information portals",
where "secrets of the
ages" were stored. They also draw
down.... from the Sun's
magnetic rays... a special type... of
electromagnetic solar energy.... that would
run along the energy grid of the earth....
and create energy....
Now Obelisks.... and
Solar Monuments... have been erected....
in every major city.... of every
country, on Earth.... Can it be....
the world governments.... are attempting to
tap into.... this very powerful and
volatile energy source?
Heliopolis... was home to Ra, the
sun god, as well as Atum,
and was considered to be... the mound
of creation... from
which the world arose. Here was
a huge sun temple.... that
may have actually dwarfed... the great
Temple of Amun... in the Karnak complex ... at
Luxor (ancient Thebes).
In 2001, another
discovery was made... when, a request
for an archaeological inspection... was made...
before building... another
house. This investigation... resulted in
the discovery... of the
tomb of Waja-Hur, (Like Ben Hur?)... a well known... 26th
Dynasty builder... and architect.
This was a fairly
elaborate tomb... consisting of two long
corridors... leading to three burial
chambers. The tomb was
devoid of all funerary equipment... except
for 29 shawabtis
figures...
bearing the name.... of the
tomb owner.
However, the tomb
was decorated... with mortuary texts...
and
colored reliefs, but because it was some 10
meters below ground level, it was partially
inundated. However, since then, efforts have
been made... to protect the tomb...
from ground water ... and to restore its
walls.
In
fact, the whole of the tomb... was
reconstructed... in a dry
area... well above ground water level, and
around it, a new
open
air museum... was developed.
Here, a route
leads tourists, beginning at the colossus...
and
leading to Baneshi's tomb... and the
collection of granite
sarcophagi, on to the tomb of Waja-Hur,
and then out... of the museum... where
tourists will be directed towards the
Tree of
the Virgin, a sycamore.... that is said...
to have been planted in
1672... from the shoot of an older
tree. According
to Coptic Christian tradition, the Holy
Family...
on their journey through Egypt...
rested beneath this tree...
after crossing the desert, and it remains
a place... of pilgrimage. Visitors will
finally end up... at the now famous
obelisk.
The museum area... includes miscellaneous
offering tables,
statues and fragments... of an obelisk ...
belonging to Tuthmosis
II, superimposed with inscriptions... of
Ramesses II, as well as
objects... bearing the names... of Amenhotep
II, Tuthmosis IV
and Amenhotep III. Here may be
found... the carved red quartzite
naos... of Tuthmosis II... from the
Gebel Ahmar quarry.
Other objects include,
at the foot of the Senusret
obelisk, the
top section... of a small quartzite
obelisk... that appears to bear
the name of Teti, the fist pharaoh...
of Egypt's 6th Dynasty.
Here too... is the base... of a
large obelisk ... in situ, along with
a few granite blocks... that presumably
belonged to it, dating
from the 18th Dynasty. In the
southeast corner... of the park
museum... is a small museum... with
other smaller artifacts.
Nearly half...
of the obelisks... carried off to
Rome... came from Heliopolis, and it is
said... that the home... of the
emperors and popes... once boasted as
many as forty-eight obelisks.
Those who have
dared.... to lift the veil of
Isis... have found the
Sun God.... at whose pillar they
worship.... to be the "thrice great"
serpent, Hermes Trismegistus:
"There was a time when Asia,
Europe, Africa, and America....
were covered....
with the temples.... sacred to the
sun... and the dragons. The priests....
assumed the names.... of their deities, and
thus... the
tradition.... of these... spread like a
network ... all over the globe…
And where is this source?
Kircher... places the
origin.... of the Ophite and the
heliolatrous worship, the shape of conical
monuments and the obelisks, with the Egyptian
Hermes Trismegistus … 'But it is
known … that this prince… received… the homage....
of his subjects.... under the
shape of a
serpent.... as well.
(It has been
revealed.... that Hermes.... also known as Thoth....
was also the infamous Annunaki.... Ea / Enki).
Whose average "life
year" was equal to 3,600 human
years....
in this way.... he was able
to take on different names.... while
influencing.... different peoples... and cultures
and languages... of
the
world.... in the "Science of the Sun",
and creating.... what appeared to be... totally
different cultures... with totally different
languages.... the "scrambling of the
languages" by the Star Gods...

Shamash Coin
The Left side ...
shows the Symbol of Shamash The
inaugural 2004 5 Çoles Coin:
Reminiscent... of
many of
the municipal... not geld coins,
this Cinco Çoles
(Five Suns) coin... was apparently issued
not only by the
central governing authority... (in this
case, the Isle of
Heliopolis... and its chimerical treasury),
but more
specifically, by another body... within its
insular
boundaries : the alliterative Ligue des Fils
et Filles du
Soleil
(League of the Sun's Sons
and Daughters).
The monetary
unit...
is the Çol (Çoles being
the plural),
which is phonetically identical to the
Peruvian Sol / Soles.
The radiant symbol... on the obverse...
is that... of
Shamash... and his
all-seeing light; this
disc represented...
the Mesopotamian
(Sumerian / Akkadian / Babylonian /
Assyrian) solar deity... approximately
3,000 years ago,
though the actual sun-god... is
substantially more ancient.
On the reverse,
there is
the legend... Sonnenmünze der Sonnenkinder.
This inscription... hopes to affirm... the
special function... of this piece... as
the “Sun-Coin... of the
Sun - Children”, one of which... is borne...
by each of the
depicted youths.

Rare Coins: Eric McCrae

Egyptian Kings
Egyptian pharaohs, on their deaths, were subjected to...
a
ceremony of “opening of the mouth”, in which... they were
supposed to be... transported... by a similar “yad”
or a “shem”...
to the divine abode... of eternal life.
Notice the Eagle
Representation... of the Shem...
to be carried... to the abode of the heavens...
Shaman
The persistence... of biblical translators... to employ “name”
...
wherever they encounter “shem”... has ignored... the far
sighted study... published more than a
century ago... by
G.M. Redslob,
(In zeitschrift der Deutschen
Morgenlandischen Geellschaft), in
which... he correctly pointed out... that the
term (shem).... and
the term (shamaim) “heaven”, stem from...
the root word
“shamah”, meaning “that which is highward”,
hence... also the word:
Shaman.
