La Reine Soleil, I can’t wait to see this animation. It’s a French cartoon about me! But they called my character Akhesa !. Just about everything is wrong. But it still looks good. It still looks fun. And oh did you see the pictures and the previews?

I’m not all that sure about that wig style, though.

I saw the notice about the Pyramid Premiere in Egypt on
Rene’s 360-blog.

What do you think, Tut?

Web Magic – Ancient Magic – Electric Dreams
When you begin to dream in HTML, in Joomla, in WordPress, have you conquered the ‘Learning Curve’ of each?

While trying to learn how to use HTML to design a web page in 2001, I began to dream in HTML. Understanding HTML soon followed. And my first primitive website on Tripod began to take shape. To promote my novel, Sun Child, Prince of Egypt.



It’s still up, click here–> StarWalkerProductions.tripod.com. What a mess! Well, it’s a free site.

At the time, I struggled with CGI and email, dodged CSS, and learned how to create graphics first on a Compac notebook, which I ‘blew up’, and then on my old Mac OS 8.6 Powerbook, and use them on borrowed Windows internet access (usually the Library’s).

There was one thing that made this all begin to click in my mind. I was also researching the ‘hieroglyphs’ of Ancient Egypt, their ‘Sacred Symbols’, the “Medu Neter”; and Egyptian Magic. There was a particular emphasis on using the Medu Neter in always the same way, written the same, spoken the same, or the ’spell’(?) wouldn’t work.

The idea popped into my head after one of those ‘electric dreams’ that the hieroglyphs were like HTML. What if they were a system, a language, a code to universal programs, operating systems? After all their civilization dominated the know world for 3,000 years. Maybe this was all just an ancient technology the knowledge of which has been lost in time.

There are many now exploring this possibility and their theories can be found around the web. For instance, Nur Ankh Amen’s theories on
The Ankh: African Origins of Electromagnetism”

There are others who suggest that other scientists besides Egyptologists, Archaeologists, Biblical or religious scholars, begin to study the ancient records of this ancient language for clues to their lost technologies. This is becoming easier for scholars and scientists in other disciplines to do with the advent of many easy ways to learn to read, write and understand hieroglyphs, many on the Web.

Regardless, an understanding of how Ancient Egyptian Magic worked is possible by just by understanding how HTML works, along with all the other applications and systems. And visa versa.

To help you along, I’ve posted some beginning definitions and ideas about Egyptian Magic along with topics on the Web.

What‽ ‽ ‽
Karl Fisch, Director of Technology at Arapahoe High School, Centennial, Colorado, created this presentation for a faculty meeting, to get the faculty thinking about and discussing the 21st Century world their students would be dealing with.

I think everyone should see it, to understand the advances in knowledge, technology and global populations we all face. So did the presentation’s creator Karl Fisch, who gave everyone permission to use it. See what he says about it on his blog–>TheFischBowl.blogspot
See the full size version–> Did You Know? Flash version
I discovered it through blog called–> ThatsCool, and his other blog—> A Random Walk.

Egyptian Magic: Preface excerpts:

“…the belief in magic, that is to say, in the power of magical names, and spells, and enchantments, and formulæ, and pictures, and figures, and amulets, and in the performance of ceremonies accompanied by the utterance of words of power, to produce supernatural results, formed a large and important part of the Egyptian religion. … this belief influenced their minds and, from the earliest to the latest period of their history, shaped their views concerning things temporal as well as spiritual in a manner which, at this stage in the history of the world, is very difficult to understand. ,…”

“From the religious books of ancient Egypt we learn that the power possessed by a priest or man who was skilled in the knowledge and working of magic was believed to be almost boundless.

By pronouncing certain words or names of power in the proper manner and in the proper tone of voice he could:

• heal the sick,
• and cast out the evil spirits which caused pain and suffering in those who were diseased,
• and restore the dead to life,
  • and bestow upon the dead man the power to transform the corruptible into an incorruptible body
  • wherein the soul might live to all eternity.
• His words enabled human beings to assume divers forms at will,
• and to project their souls into animals and other creatures;
• and in obedience to his commands, inanimate figures and pictures became living beings and things which hastened to perform his behests.

The powers of nature acknowledged his might, and wind and rain, storm and tempest, river and sea, and disease and death worked evil and ruin upon his foes, and upon the enemies of those who were provided with the knowledge of the words which he had wrested from the gods of heaven, and earth, and the underworld. Inanimate nature likewise obeyed such words of power, and even the world itself came into existence through the utterance of a word by Thoth; by their means

• the earth could be rent asunder,
• and the waters forsaking their nature could be piled up in a heap,
• and even the sun’s course in the heavens could be stayed by a word.

No god, or spirit, or devil, or fiend, could resist words of power, and the Egyptians invoked their aid in the smallest as well as in the greatest events of their lives. To him that was versed in the lore contained in the books of the “double house of life”

• the future was as well known as the past, and
• neither time nor distance could limit the operations of his power;
• the mysteries of life and death were laid bare before him, and
• he could draw aside the veil which hid the secrets of fate and destiny from the knowledge of ordinary mortals.”
