This title may seem to be a bad pun, or a pun spelt badly, but it is based around what Liz D. called
“intuitive etymology”. Some of my articles use ‘word association’, even their titles being ‘plays on
words’, connected to themes with those pieces. For example, ‘Facing the Horizon in Ancient Egypt’,
which is in the Ancient Mysteries Menu.
In Chapter Nine I discussed the Ancient Greek concept of the ‘Crystal Sun’, which they called “the
central fire”. One of my correspondents pointed out that the Egyptian or Greek word ‘pyramid’ means
“fire in the middle”. Having read Alan Alford’s Great Pyramid theory, in Gods of the New Millennium,
I found his idea that the King’s Chamber was a furnace in a gas separation plant intriguing. [The room
is granite, which is heat-resistant. The process separated hydrogen and oxygen from water absorbed by
the limestone of the rest of the pyramid.]
When put together with the gold or alloy capstone [containing a crystal ‘device’], and the ‘shine’, I
began to wonder whether the pyramid was not only a ‘cosmic transmitter/receiver’, but one of the
earliest solar power plants. If ‘pyra’ is split into ‘py’ and ‘ra’, the latter seems to imply a solar
connection. Was this how the Egyptians produced electricity? The word ‘pylon’ sprang to mind, not
just in the modern context, but in the Egyptian. It is Greek for ‘gateway’. D is the entrance to the
Khonsu Temple of Ramesses III at Karnak [from Snape’s Egyptian Temples]. Liz made the connection
between the symbol for the Greek letter pi [A] and other sacred ‘gateways’:
“TORII = TOR = TOWER = DOOR = D’OR = DOL(men)...”
For example, B - Stonehenge; C - a ‘portal dolmen’ from a Neolithic Chambered Long Barrow; and
E - a Torii, a Japanese Shinto ‘gateway’. marking the entrance to a shrine. All of these demarcate a
‘religious’ space from an ‘ordinary’ one. At Stonehenge, in Barrows and at Karnak, shafts of sunlight
passed into the heart of these structures. In temples [the ‘house of God’, here lay the ‘Holy of Holies’,
the most sacred part of these religious ‘powerhouses’.
Ramesses II’s capital near Hyksos, Avaris, was called Pi-Ramses/Per-Ramses, meaning ‘House of
Ramesses’. The title ‘pharoah’ itself is a Hebrew derivation of the Egyptian ‘per aa’ [‘great house’].
Could Pi-Ra-Mis, therefore, be translated as ‘House of the Sun (God) in the Middle’, or, as Per-Aa-Mis,
‘Great House in the Middle’? If so, does this then take us back ‘full circle’ to the King’s Chamber?
As a final note, kings called Ramesses were sometimes nicknamed ‘Ramose(s)’. Considering Moses
was the ‘adopted’ son of a pharoah, could his full name really have been Tutmose, Kamose, Dudimose
or Ramose/Ramesses, in honour of whichever of these kings was his ‘father’? This is just a thought,
following on from the Ark in Egypt at the end of Chapter Nine... .
Ok, what do these words have in common:-
RADIO, RADIUS, RADIUM and RATIO?
At first glance, nothing. But, suppose, substituted these suffixes to 'Ra'
with - DEO, - DEUS/ - DIOS, - DEUM and - TEO.
All these are connected with 'god'. The first, second and fourth are Latin,
the third Spanish, and the fifth Aztec. When put together you'd get 'sun
god'.
