(Changing time of history )
What went wrong ??
Introduction:
The ancient Egyptian civilization is considered to be one of the oldest civilizations
that appeared in ancient world. It started
thousands of
years ago when Egypt then was larch and green country, it
was full of
forest and jungle, but after the first ice age the climate changed
and Egypt gradually became dry, it became barren and desolate desert and as a result of
that, the population of Egypt who were before food gatherers and
hunters had to adopt themselves according to the new weather. Gradually because
of the climate change, the
population had to settle around the river and inhabit the Nile valley. By around
5,000 BC .They were organized into two separate nations,
Upper and Lower Egypt.
The time of 3100 BC,
according to the classical opinionof Egyptology was widely accepted to be the beginning
of the foundation of the first royal dynasty in ancient
Egyptian history. A powerful pharaoh came from the south of Egypt, his
name was Narmer. He managed to defeat the lower Egyptians and unit the two kingdoms together. It was the oldest known unification in the history of
mankind. He ruled
over upper and Lower Egypt and He founded of the first dynasty, hence the
beginning of the ancient Egyptian history .Scholars usually attribute this
event to the year 3100 BC. There were so
little evidence throughout history to
tell us about what happened during that time. We had classical sources
like ancient Historians who told
us about the event of the union between Upper and Lower Egypt, also
we have some finds that are exhibited
in the Egyptian Museum, which clearly shows us the union between upper & lower Egypt and
as we see the union
between the symbols of this south and the North united together
represented on most of them, but none of these evidence
sources would mention a time of such an event or tells us about when
was the first dynasty founded. Today we believe that the ancient Egyptian history
has a span of 3,000 years before
the birth of Christ, traditionally is believed to start at 3100
BC and finished by
the 3rd century BC .
One the most important objects of the Egyptian museum is the Narmer palette, this beautiful
tablet or as we call it a palette. Is considered to be the main evidence showing the union between the old kingdoms
of ancient Egypt and also the foundation of the first dynasty. It is a beautiful slate palette
which is considered to be the oldest known
object from the dynastic age, and one of the most important masterpieces , that most
of the travelers who visit Cairo Museum must see.
Great astronomers :
The ancient Egyptians throughout their history were good observers of the stars
.They identified certain constellations in the sky. One of the
most important stars for them was Sirius or
the what we call today the Dog star . which
they used to built up a calendar, and mark the coming flood Seems at first they used a lunar calendar , later they changed into a calendar based
on the most easily observed on regular phenomena available to them, the flooding
and inundation. They divided up the year into three seasons of 30
days months, with each season corresponding to the agricultural pattern
determined by the rise and fall the Nile. The first season was the
inundation in itself, the second was the period of the gross and cultivation. The
third was the time of harvest. It emerged that the
first flooding of the Nile which was chosen as the beginning of each New Year,
was observable at the latitude of Memphis, which is considered to have been the
center of united Egypt, at the same time it was the helical arising of Sirius.
This phenomenon takes place according to the Julian Calendar on July
19th (or about a month earlier according to the Gregorian calendar ).it is known
as the Sothic year but since the Real solar year is actually 365 days and six hours,
the discrepancy of a quarter of the day per year gradually lengthened the
gap between the solar calendar and the Sothic calendar. This discrepancy could only be
corrected after complete cycle had elapsed through a period of 1460
years, which is now known as the" Sothic year". The synchronization of
the first day of the Solar calendar and the rising of Sirius was
recorded at least once in ancient Egyptian history, for example in Ad 139.
It is
therefore possible due to the various points in time recorded by the ancient
Egyptians, to establish precise dates within these Sothic
periods, the terminal points of which can be related to 1317,
2773 and 4323 BC. The reign Imenhotep
I for example response to 1537
or 1517 be seen depending on the
precise location of which the phenomena was observed on. The reign of
Senosert III response to 1877
BC. It is believed today by most of the Egyptologists that the date of 4323 BC is
unlikely to have
been the first year the first Dynasty and the beginning of the union since it is
believed that the outcome of the remains suggest that the civilization would not have been
sufficiently developed at this period, but the year 2773
BC, on the other hand is a good candidate for the beginning of the Calendar
even though, it is later than the reign of Narmer !
So all in all, when you go back on time you will find
that it has been three times when this phenomena took place in history :
4323 BC
2773 BC
1317
BC
The ancient Egyptian referred to the helical rising
of the Dog Star with the phrase " The
New Year" andthey stated that the time of the first dynasty and the union
of Egypt took place at the time of the New Year. As we mentioned
before that the helical rising of Sirius takes place
almost every fifteen centuries. This was a great celestial event that
was easily used to mark the time!!
not only for the ancient Egyptians but also for other ancient civilizations. Since
the first dynasty took place at the new year it means it did coincides with the
helical rising of Sirius. In the process of putting a date for the beginning of
their history and to record the time of the foundation of the first dynasty. Firstly
we had three candidate dates, three options :
The first 4323 BC which
was easily rejected because
orthodox Egyptologists suggested that this was very early at the dawn of
time, and they believed it would be hard to accept that it started that
early meanwhile the third date of 1317
BC was also rejected because it was already
the time of the 19th dynasty and it would be impossible that the first dynasty started
that later, and finally the second time , the middle one 2773
BC was
widely accepted, although it is quite incorrect and falls into the third
dynasty but to fix that they give it an extra period of time around 200 to 300 years
and suggested 3100 BC was the beginning of first dynasty and the
union of upper and lower Egypt .
I believe that the ancient Egyptian history had started at the first date
that was around 4323 BC, the first
helical rising of Sirius .This is actually proved by
Narmer palette in
which the scenes depicted, have been misunderstood and misinterpreted !!.Read below and
you will know why .
Zodiac invention :
The ancient Egyptians were the first people in the world to
observe and record the zodiac with its twelve constellations. The ancient gave a great
importance to the phenomenon called now" the precession of the
zodiac", it is in
general the movement of the stars and the cancellation in relative to the
position of sun in the time of the equinox and the position of earth. Due to a very gradual wobble of
the earth around its polar axis, it gradually changes its
relationship to the signs of the Zodiac. Over the course of some
25, 920 years, the rising Sun gradually be precesses
or moves backwards through the entire zodiacal cycle, this is
called the" Great or the Platonic year", it simply means that
for the duration of any age of the zodiac, the spring Equinox of the Sun will
rise against the backdrop of one cancellation gradually moving through that sign
in 2160 years. Which for the full cycle takes about
25 ,920 years, as 1° within this cycle equals 72
years. Today if you look at the sky at the position of spring
Equinox, you will see the constellation of Aquarius which means that we are now
at the Aquarius age, it will be dominant in the sky for along time. For the astrologers, this means that Aquarius is
having control over earth for the next 2000 years
or so and also means that Aquarius people will lead the whole world for the next 2000
years, if you go back on time then you will find that it was Pisces before which
was at the beginning when Christianity appeared, and so on. By using computers,
if you go back on time to look at the sky at the time of the first helical rising at
the Dog star that was at 4323 BC
you'll
find out that it was, the end age of Gemini
and the beginning of age of Taurus.
Narmer palette:
For a closer look at Narmer palette at the ground floor
of the museum ,which is decorated at both sides with pictorial scenes that show
the union and the foundation of the first dynasty you will find out that
one side of it has
three registers, the top register shows two heads of goddess Hathor, goddess of love, music and maternity flanking the name of the King between
which reads
NA3- MER. Below it the king is represented smiting one of the enemies from Lower
Egypt and depicted in front of his face, god Horus, shown in a form of a
falcon which here represents the legitimate and living
king, it is simply a symbolic representation of the king himself as the victorious Horus.
He is shown holding a
robe by his human
hand and this robe ends in the nostrils of a head of a prisoner which is a sign
of capturing or taking control of, here also we see Horus is perching over six papyrus stems which
represent lower Egypt and also a papyrus stem was in the ancient Egyptian language
used as a symbol in the language that represents the number of 1,000, it is a symbolic way telling us that the King had captured
around 6,000 prisoners from lower Egypt. At the bottom register two prisoners from Lower Egypt are running
or escaping from the king, it shows us the status of the Lower
Egyptians during this war .
| Side 1

Side 2
 |
If you get to the other side of the palette,
here you
will see more pictorial scenes simply they tell
us about the foundation of
the first dynasty and a celebration of the King for his victory. This side has
four registers, at the top register, it shows two heads of goddess Hathor
again
flanking the name of the King for protection like the other side of the palette,
notice that the name slightly written
bigger this time, as the King in this side is celebrating his victory over
the lower Egyptians. In the second register we can see the pharaoh walking in
a triumphal procession wearing the crown of lower Egypt ,proceeded
by his minister and his servants who
carry the flags of victory, in front of them there is a group of ten decapitated
prisoners whom their heads are put between their twisted legs. On the third
register a very strange scene appeared for the first time in Egyptian history
mostly attributed to Mesopotamian influence into the Egyptian culture, here we see two mythological lions with very long necks and two servants with
robes trying to pull their heads away from each other while their necks twist
around each other, as if putting an end for the war between upper
and Lower Egypt, and in the same time twist their necks around to
show as a union between the two lands. In the bottom register another strange
scene appeared, as the King is shown in a form of a bull destroying a fortress
by his horns and trampling over one of the prisoners from Lower Egypt. which
means subduing his enemies under his feet.
- Narmer palette was one of the main evidence
sources to tell us
about the Unification of ancient Egypt, also it tells
us about the foundation of the first dynasty, but
the strange thing is
that the scenes of the two lions and the bull were to appear
for the first time in history, we consider them completely unusual to Egyptian
art, and for the first time the pharaoh to be shown in a form of a
bull !!
- why a bull? why not a lion or any
other animal ??
- why two lions ?why twins? why
identical ??
If we link this palette with the astronomy
knowledge in ancient Egypt and with a
very closer look at the scenes , then we will come up with the result, that
this was actually a time mark symbol in order to record this great event
! it was not as we thought to be union or strength for the pharaoh, actually it seems that they used the zodiac age for telling us
about the time when the king ruled over upper and lower Egypt. It seems as a
encoded message, By using computers and sky mapping programs
to go
back in time to look at the sky at the time of the first helical
rising at the Dog star you'll find out that it was, the
end age of Gemini and the beginning of age of Taurus.
Go back to the strange scenes
at Narmer palette again, there you will find the answer:
* the two lion are Gemini
"the twins" and the
bull is Taurus.
It was simply a time mark that they left to
record the foundation of the first dynasty. Simply they recorded what was there
in the sky. But yet didn't happen in 3100
BC as the most believe to be the beginning
of the first dynasty, most properly took place at 4323
BC ,
the first time of the helical rising of the dog star, the " new
year " or in other words the time that was
rejected before !!!
Strangely, later on when Egyptologist
unravel some artifacts from sites believed to be back to the first dynasty
and when they had them carbon-dated to estimate their age, they found out that they were
mostly back to the period of
4500
to 4000
BC ,but not to
3100 BC the time believed to be of
the first dynasty !. Later as to find a way out of this dilemma, a new period was invented, it was
called the pre-dynastic period !!
but if we accept the new date,
4323 BC it would fall easily back to
the first dynasty.
It will also explain for us the giant leap of knowledge
that the ancient Egyptian had at the third and fourth dynasty, they needed at least a
1000
years before they built the pyramids. but with the old date it is
only a period of 350
years to have that great advance to knowledge.
Visit
Room
53 at the Cairo museum which is supposed
to have a collection of the pre-dynastic tools that mostly go back to the year
4500 BC and you will see palettes very identical and similar to Narmer palette,
you will see one little slate palette that has two horns and a head
of a bull depicted on it and around it there is a large number of stars !
simply another recording of the age of Taurus!, have a closer look to the heads of
most of these tablets you will find the heads of ramps and bulls, similar to
Narmer palette, but funny they all back to 4500
BC and on the ground floor the
Narmer palette is supposed to be back to 3100 BC !!
We did reject the time
4323 BC which was most likely to be the time for the beginning of the dynastic age and the union of ancient Egypt,
because
we thought it was an early time, even though all the evidence
suggest it to be the right date and what the ancient Egyptians really meant
when they told us that these events corresponds with the helical rising of the
dog star "the new year ".
If this was likely to be
accepted it will change completely our previous knowledge of the ancient
Egyptian history and gave us more understanding of the of secrets of evolution
of their culture.
