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.

Nine Measures of Magic by Dr Panagiotis Kousoulis

Part 1: Heka, its theological aspects and importance
to the fabric of the Egyptian cosmos

• Ancient Egypt, which has long been recognised as the land of myth and magic,… reflected in an ancient text: “Ten measures of magic have come into this world. Egypt received nine of them, the rest of the world only one measure.”
• The Heka (HkA), Egyptian term for magic, existed before the creation of divine and mundane world and it was the cause for the emanation of cosmos. It was the ‘life-giving energy’ which was conceived in the mind of the creator god and expressed as ‘divine logos’.
• “Re ( the sun god) gave to them (mankind) magic (Heka) as weapon in order to repel the strokes of bad events.”

Part 2:–> The role of the Magicican in Egyptian society, Clement of Alexandria, 3rd century AD, regarded Egypt as ‘the mother of the magicians.’

• Khaemwaset, son of Rameses II, a ‘good scribe and very wise man,’ trained to understand and write the ‘language of the gods,’ the hieroglyphs.
• Papyrus Westcar, a magician transformed a wax crocodile into a real one and used it to hunt down his wife’s lover
• Another magician from the same story parted the water of a lake to recover a dropped pendant.
• House of Life (pr-ankh)’, a sacred institution attached to all the major temples.

• created for the magical protection of the gods (Re, Osiris) and the Pharaoh,
  who was regarded as their representative on earth.
• the role of the temple library, where all the sacred books (mdat ntr),
  writings and cultic archives were kept.

PART 3:–> ‘Overthrowing Apophis’: EGYPTIAN RITUAL IN PRACTICE. Throughout Egyptian history, a major focus of ritual activity was intended to overcome personal, divine or foreign enemies of the king or state.

Trampling upon an enemy was a standard gesture in magical rites… common imagery of the traditional enemies of Egypt, … on the king’s footstool and on the sole of his sandals, so that he was constantly trampling on them.

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.
