A Cosmic Message in the Desert

At https://dailygalaxy.com/2026/01/massive-hieroglyphs-found-egyptian-desert/ … a pregnant elephant and hieroglyphs pointing skywards. To the Sun, we are told by mainstream opinion apparatchiks. Carved into rock along an ancient trade route, at what is now El-Khawy in southern Egypt – or what was Lower Nubia. The line of massive hieroglyphs, strangely not noticed before by archaeologists, is a puzzle. Perhaps that is why silence has reigned. They are said to be the oldest large scale line of ancient symbols yet found. Anywhere. They seem to deliver a message, we are informed. They also date back 5000 years ago, we are told – at the end of the Pre-dynastic period and the onset of the Old Kingdom in Egypt. The Piorra Oscillation once again. What is the message in the sky?

One symbol is a bull’s head on a pole with 3 birds and 2 storks facing away from each other. A bald ibis is between them. We are told that the bull’s head signified royal power and the bird trio, the solar cycle. Royal power was derived from the sky gods – invested in their representative on Earth, the elite making use of a bad deal. Quite where the solar cycle comes in I don’t know. Did ancient people recognise such? Is there any link to the animal symbols on the stones at Gobekli Tepe in what is now Turkey?

Enlil, the Bull of Heaven, is clearly located in the sky in Sumerian myth and religion. He doesn’t have the appearance of the Sun. Why should the Egyptian bull god Min be any different. In the constellations the Bull is not just associated with Taurus but with Bootes, and in the Egyptian mind the leg of the bull was located at the far north of the sky. It was used in various cultic ceremonies – and in defining true north in order to commence building works. Pharaoh was associated with cosmos – the idea of peace in the sky. Nothing much was happening. They were also associated with chaos – and the collapse of dynasties, and worse. Pharaoh, as the representative of the god on Earth was also ultimately responsible when the gods became destructive. Especially when it resulted in upheaval in the civil world below. As in the Intermediate periods.

The panel of hieroglyphs also shows a pregnant elephant. Why that particular animal that is more common in Indian myth than Egyptian. However, there does appear to be a link with the pregnant hippopotamus, better known in Egypt as a destructive god – in the Hyksos period and at the end of the Late Kingdom, for example. It is an apt animal to define as destructive as hippopotami in motion can churn up fields and human endeavour. Including trampling on people. However, it is a cow goddess, Hathor, that comes across as especially destructive – threatening to eliminate life on Earth including human societies. Its horns play a significant role – like those of the bull gods.
