The Enduring Mystery, Pyramidographia, 1646

[Charlotte]

Some years ago I chanced upon this intriguing account by John Greaves, which stayed with me all these years, though I have neglected to read commentaries on it for an understanding other than my speculations. Perhaps others have read it as well. First, I like to relate the think piece, then relate the annotations and see what presents itself.

Pyramidiographica, 1646

"The Arabian writers, especially such as have purposely treated of the wonders of Egypt have given us a more full description [of the Pyramids]: but that hath been mixed with so many inventions of their owne, that the truth hath been darkend and almost extinguished by them. I shall put downe that which is confessed by them, to be the most probable relation, as is reported by Ibn Abd Alhokm, whose words out of the Arabick are these.

"The greatest part of Chronologers agree, that he which build the Pyramids was Saurid Ibn Salhouk, King of Egypt, who lived three hundred years before the flood. The occasion of this was because he saw in his sleep, that the whole earth was turned over, with the inhabitants of it, the men lying upon their faces, and the stars falling downe and striking one another, with a terrible noise, and being troubled with this, he concealed it. Then after he saw the first stars falling to the earth, in the similitude of white fowle, and they snatched up men, and carried them between two great mountains, and these mountains closed upon them, and the shining stars were made darke."

Pyramidographia, 1646

"And he awaked with great feare, and assembled the chief Priests of all the provinces of Egypt, an hundred and thirty priests, the chief of them was called Aclimun. He related the whole matter to them, and they took the altitude of the stars, and made their prognostication, and they fortold of a deluge. The king said will it come to our country? They answered yes, and will destroy it. And there remained a certain number of years to come, and he commanded in the mean space to build the Pyramids, and that a vault (or cistern) should be made, into which the river Nilus should enter, from whence it should runne into the countries of the West, and into the land Al-Said.

"And he filled them (the Pyramids) with talismans, and with strange things, and with riches, and treasures, and the like. He engraved in them all things that were told by wise men, as also all profound sciences, the names of alakakirs, the uses, and hurts of them. The science of Astrology, and of Arithmeticke, and of Geometry, and of Physicke. All this may be interpreted by him that knows the characters, and language. After he had given orders for this building, they cut out vast columnes, and wonderful stones. The fetched massy stones from the Ethiopians, and made with these the foundations of the three Pyramids fastening them together with lead, and iron. They built the gates of them 40 cubits under ground, and they made the height of the Pyramids 100 royall cubits, which are 500 of ours in these times. He also made each side of them as hundred royall cubits. The beginning of this building was in a fortunate horoscope. After that he had finished it, he covered it with coloured Satten (marble), from the top to the bottome and he appointed a solemne festival, at which were present all the inhabitants of his Kingdome. Then he built in the Western Pyramid thirty treasuries, filled with store of riches, and utensils, and with signatures made of precious stones, and with instruments of iron, and vessels of earth and with a mes which rusts not, and with glasse which may be bended, and yet not broken, and with strange spells, and with several kinds of akakirs, single and double, and with deadly poison, and with other things besides. He made also in the East Pyramid, divers celestiall spheres, and stars, and what they severally operate, in their aspects; and the perfumes which are to be used to them, and the books which treat of these matters."

Hi Charlotte.

Do we know what John Greaves used for his source material ?

Cheers

[Charlotte]

Hi Don,

John Greaves moved among the Intelligencia about the Elizabethan Court. He traveled extensivily to gather information, "met and consulted with the Earl of Arundel's art-collecting agent," . . . The reason I mention this is because Francis Bacon is said to have passed away at the Earl's Estate, so a general idea of where to place Greaves. Wikipedia states that Greaves was also wont to consult the Libraries in the Monastery's at Mt. Athos, giving another glimpse into his Mind.

The Pyramidiographia "was published under his name in an anonymous tract", idicating there is more to it than can be had at first glance, this being obvious when reading the entire account. The great Men of the time conspired to write in a manner which takes much study and references for an "O altitude". The account states that they built thirty treasuries filled with stores of riches.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Greaves

Of interest to you might be: "The first suggestion that the builders of the Great Pyramid of Giza used units of measure related to the modern measures is attributed to Oxford astronomy professor John Greaves (1602-1652), who journed to Egypt in 1638 to make measurements of the pyramid."

The remaining text of

Pyramidiographia

"He put also in the coloured Pyramid (the third), the commentaries of the Priests, in chests of black marble, and with every Priest a booke, in which were the wonders of his profession, and of his actions, and of his nature, and what was done in his time, and what is, and what shall be, from the beginning of time , to the end of it. He placed in every Pyramid a Treasurer: the treasurer of the westerly Pyramid was a statue of marble stone standing upright with a lance, and on his head a Serpent wreathed. He that came neare it, and stood still, the Serpent bit him of one side, and wreathed round his throat, and killed him, and then returned to his place. He made the treasurer of the East Pyramid an idoll of black Agate, his eyes open, and shining, sitting upon a throne with a lance: when any lookt upon him, he heard of one side of him a voice, which took away his sense, so that he fell prostrate upon his face, and ceased not till he died. He made the treasurer of the Coloured Pyramid a statue of stone, called Albut, sitting. He which looked toward it was drawn by the statue, till he stucke to it, and could not be seperated from it, till such time as he died.

Thus fare the Arabians: which traditions of theirs are little better than a romance."

[Charlotte]

Marvelous the Pearls of Wisdom given to us by Wise Men guiding us in measured fashion through the journey perilous to our Home, where the Heart is. The writings encompass the physicsl and metaphysical.

Thank you, Don, we now must know further, Shakespeare bids us.

In the old German language, which we actually still used in school, there was ß, the verticle line should extend about an 16th of an inch on the botton, called eszett or sharp s, denoting a sharp sound as in Waßer/Wasser, water, but I don't know if it has to do with your question.

[Charlotte]

I didn't see "Read EBook", clicked my way through much but found only snippets. Read elsewhere on Metrology, travels, places, and references to other historical data. My interest is mostly on the peculiar Arabic account "little more than a romance".

Concerning your Solar System information, I read that Peter Tompkins "had argued that Greaves "hoped to find in the Great Pyramid a datum that might help to establish the dimensions of the planet" and that he brought instruments "for optaining the declination and right ascention of the stars above it." Daniel Boorstin, in a popular essey on the history of western pyramidomania, also claimed the Greaves sought clues in the Pyramids for the precise dimensions of the Earth.

"Unfortunately for both Tompkins and Boorstin, nothing of the sort is to be found in the pages of the Pyramidographia."

I have not read it, but doubt that Greaves "was not after Egyptian esoteric Wisdom", considering his connections.

[Charlotte]

In a somewhat expanded view, including the Texts and Paintings of the ancient Egyptians, not the interpretation of many Egyptologists, but according to my own thinking, I would agree with Mr. Tompkins and Boorstin that John Greaves was interested in finding the dimensions of the Earth, and perhaps other astronomical data.

I'm intrigued by the little better than a romance Arabian tradition, which strikes me as written by an Arabian Mystic, for titled The Enduring Mystery. This could simply mean that a great deal about the Pyramids is yet a mystery to us, however, the first clue of the more to it is given in the first papagraph, viz., the Arabian writers interposed "so many invention of their owne, that the truth hath been darkened and almost extinguished by them".

This a time honored method by some such Writers of telling something important and at the same time discouraging the Reader to believe some or most of a story save the curious ones. Seems in this account it is not the cat but the Treasurers in each Pyramid who killed those that came near or looked upon them.

Mainstream Egyptology would not agree that the Pyramids were built 300 years before the flood by the King of Egypt Salhouk, rather than by Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. I don't even believe they were built by the people we call the Ancient Egyptians, but closer to "30- or 35,000, maybe more" as the Pyramid Champ assured me because he was born and grew up in their shadow and "eat" them during his life. To give credit to an old, uneducated Muslim of speculating on the age of the Pyramids and other things, one has to be in his company for a while and listen to what he had difficulty speaking about.

[Charlotte]

More musings

In a dream, the King saw the whole Earth turning over, described in the Bible, and very similar by the Hopi, but the stars falling down and striking one another with a terrible noise, and, the stars falling to earth in the similitude of white birds ,snatching up and carrying men between two great mountains which closed up after them, and darkened were the shining stars.

No doubt, a strange description of an Earth and Heaven shaking event, the question stuck in my Mind is, did the King dream this or did the Arabian writers mean to tell something to be mulled over and discerned?

[Charlotte]

Why would the Arabian writers mix such outlandish "inventions of their owne" in telling about the great flood and the Pyramids? Moreover, the account states that the writers "treated of the wonders of Egypt", bringing to Mind the King ordering a cisterne to be made for the Nile to enter, from whence it should runne into the western coutries and the land of Al-Said.

There is waht could be called a cisterne under the Sphinx, water can be seen in a round break in the cement in front of the Sphinx, but it is not mentioned in the account. Sitting with a few locals who were born and grew up next to the Sphinx and Pyramids, I asked where the land of Al-Said is, no one knew, so I asked what the name means and was told it meant something like where the "bad" people live, so not a geographical land, but perhaps a state of Mind, which is reasonable since the Nile doesn't "runne into the countries of the West" either.

My thinking, then, is that the Nile, flowing from the Highlands of Ethiopia, whence they fetched massy stones to build the foundations of the 3 Pyramids and fastened them together with lead and iron, must have to do with knowledge and Wisdom, flowing from on high, so to say, lead and iron being language, in my guessing.

The Nile can also be seen 'as above so below', the White Nile flowing through one of the World's biggest swamp, Al Sudd, sediments settling on the banks for rich soil to grow food for the body in abundance, the Blue Nile considred sacred as the River Gihon flowing from Eden, the two merging at Khartoum. Fittingly, Al Sudd means "barrier" as soot obscures our sight until the Blue Nile dilutes the muck. Marie insisted things must be brought into our lives else it is just Knowledge out there somewhere, what for if it doesn't cultivate our potential to Be.

[Charlotte]

The King assembled and consulted "an hundred and thirty priests", the chief Priest being "Aclimun", which sounded like a chemical to me. I searched but no result. By the altitude of the stars the Priest fortold a deluge, which will come to Egypt and destroy it, compelling the King to build the Pyramids and vault for the Nile to enter.

Was the Egypt of then destroyed as it is suggested in legends and myths of other cultures and civilizations also in a great conflageration ca. 12- or 13,000 years ago? Or was the necessary work of a suspected former, great Civilization to bring Humanity foreward and upward accomplished, as I believe. We can see how Egypt from Zep Tepi ended about the time of Alexander and Cleopatra, the Greeks being handed knowledge of the Egyptians.

The account states the Talismans, treasures, riches, strange things and the like, with which the King filled the Pyramids with were their profound sciences and all things told by wise men, "the names of alakakirs, the uses, and hurts of them." I don't know what alakakirs is, consequently not the uses or hurts of them, but there is an air of significance about it.

[Charlotte]

The King related his dream to the Priests who consulted the Stars, intimating they were Astronomers. He saw the first Stars falling to Earth "in the similitude of white fowle, and they snatched up men, and carried them between two great mountaines, and the mountaines closed up after them . . ."

In the land of the laws of physics we call the Real World, Stars don't fall to Earth resembling white birds who grab men and carry them between mountains, and mountains don't close up or move together. It reads "the first stars" and men", not Man, maybe only some men. Seems the latter part of the account has alchemical implications, perhaps the white fowle indicate "winged" Knowledge of Stars some men, the Priests, possessed, and the two great mountains represent polarities, the Pillars. The "shining stars were made darke". Does this mean that men with Knowledge of "the first stars" left the Earth, so to speak, thus obscuring the shining stars or sight of the many to see them, presaging darkness as the deluge was to come and "destroy" the "country" of Egypt.

Then I thought, maybe it means that the "bad" people were snatched up and closed up behind the two mountains, but that wouldn't make the shining Stars darke, rather, shining more brightly.

[Charlotte]

Set in Stone

The King "engraved" in the Pyramids all things told by wise men and the profound sciences of Astrology, Number, Geometry, and Physics, which have been studied and made known to the World, and in doing so could mean the riches and treasures, as none such have been found in the Pyramids, but all things that wise men said are being found.

I don't know if the notion of robbers is still maintained, but in climbing up to the Kings Chamber one can feel or sense that there were never any riches or treasures, only varying stones all the way up. However, enclosed and oppressed by tons of stone, the only space available is the inner space, at least it was for me.

The Talismans, and of what nature the strange things were the King filled the Pyramids with, is anyone's guess, perhaps they import magic, stange to us, and there are the names of alakakirs, the uses and hurts of them, maybe spells, which would make sense since: "All this may be interpreted by him that knowes their characters, and language."

[Charlotte]

The beginning of the building of Pyramids "was in a fortunate horoscope." The height and sides of "them" were the same, 100 royal cubits. The gates to "them" were 40 cubits underground. In the "real World", there are no gates to the Pyramids, though there is a story of a gate on golden hinges which opens by magical utterance to subterranean chambers under the Sphinx, where flows a river on which banks is anchored a boat one can embark upon a journey between two Pillars with sacred symbols and so forth, no doubt a journey perilous.

Perhaps the Valley Temple is meant by the underground gates. There is a "door" barred with an iron gate in the Subterranean Chamber in the Great Pyramid, large enough for a Person to crawl through, but no one could tell me where it leads to. In passing I might mention that a Man who grew up in a house within a stones throw of the Sphinx told with a quiet voice, that when he was in the "Chamber of Chaos", I think it is also called, Beings gave him fruits and foods which gave him power. It is indeed a chaos of stones down there.

After they built the gates and the Pyramids, the account states:

"The beginning of the building was in a fortunate horoscope. After that he had finished it, he covered it with coloured Satten (marble), from the top to the bottome and he appointed a solemne festivall, at which were present all the inhabitants of his kingdom."

Since the Pyramids are always referred to as "them", is by having finished "it" meant that the King consulted the horoscope? However, covering "it" with coloured marble from top to bottome would refer again the the Pyramids, but why, then, is it not "them"?

Wikipedia

"It is not known when the casing stones of the pyramid (only one here, presumably Khafre's, my note) were robbed, however, they were presumably still in place by 1646, when John Greaves, professor of Astronomy at the University of Oxford in his "Pyramidographia", wrote that, while it's stones weren't as large or as regularly laid as in Khufu's, the surface was smooth and even free of breaches of inequalities, except on the south."

Seemingly, here, Greaves also refers to Khafre's Pyramid, but surely, Mr. Greaves, given his education and Relationships, found the "romance" of the Arabians interesting enough to make known to the World.

[Charlotte]

The Pyramidiographia was published in an anonymous tract under John Greaves name. I have not yet looked for this anonymous tract, but am intrigued and very much like anonymous Writ and Poetry. Originating with the Arabian writers, the account was mixed with so many inventions of their owne that the truth had been darkened and almost extinguished by them, says Reaves.

Gottfried Schnabel, Author of "Felsenburg", writes the exact same thing, viz., that an anonymous person wanted the history written by Joris or Georg Pines, written in 1667, translated, but in the German language it was mixed with Sauerkraut and gooseberries, and warmed up, the result being a buttery mixture that one can hardly find a kernel of truth "on the bottom of a long table".

All the inhabitants of the Kingdom were present at the solemn festival the King appointed. No doubt, the area about the Pyramids was not built up and populated as it is today, still, all the inhabitants of Egypt would occupy miles and miles of geography, and no big screen TV's.

The intriguing parts

"Then he built in the Western Pyramid thirty treasuries, filled with stores of riches, and utensils, and with signatures made of precious stones, and with instruments of iron, and vessels of earth and with a mes which rusts not, and with glasse which might be bended, and yet not broken, and with strange spells, and with several kinds of akakirs, single and double, and with deadly poisons, and with other things besides."

Far cry indeed from what Egyptology has to say, though an
explanation would be interesting.

[Charlotte]

Very strange indeed. I haven't taken enough time yet to find information or a biography of the Arabian Writer Ibn Abd Alhokm, whose words out of the Arabic John Greaves conveys. Moreover, the Pyramidiographia was published under Greaves name in an anonymous tract, has me thinking that perhaps some other Person, well versed in things mysterious, translated the outlandish account.

The King "made also in the East Pyramid, divers celestiall, spheres and stars, and what they severally operate, in their aspects, and the perfumes which are to be used to them, and the books which treated of these matters."

This reminds of Astrology and Aroma Therapy, which conventional Science told us many borders on superstition, which however enjoyed a Renaissance in the 60s with the New Age movement. Aroma Therapy is popular in present day Egypt and many shops and Homes are regularly purified with incense.

But what of the deadly poisons, the glasse which can be bend but not broken, and the mes which rusts not. When I first read the account som years ago, I think I found the mes to be a weapon, sort of a ball on a cord to swing at the enemy. I searched for it again, but found nothing related, other than in the Urban Dictionary, stating mes stands for "mind - enhanced - state", which cannot rust.

[Charlotte]

Not only does the Pyramidographia treat of why the Pyramids were built, ie the strange dream of the King, the aforementioned Sciences, all things told by wise Men as in the later part of the account seemingly related to our psychological nature, a Mystic's Wisdom giving name, habitation, and brief clues for those who can interpret the characters and language, as yet beyond my ken.

There is the mes which rusts not, if a weapon, perhaps an ever inquisitive Mind allied with Neil's Heart of Gold; a glasse which might bend and yet not break, again our dynamic Mind which we can change in a Heartbeat, reminding of St. Paul saying that we see through a glass darkly, but in due time will see clearly. I read that some People think He meant a mirror, but a mirror's back is dense black stuff and we can only see reflections. It could mean that dilligent study melts the black stuff by the by for glimpses to the other side.

The King filled the Pyramids with wondrous things, but also deadly poisons, maybe poisones thoughts and all that is undesirable in our nature since no poison has ever been found in them, as far as I know. On the other hand, this might have to do with the Statues, Serpents, and Idolls, which killed anyone coming near or looking upon them.

[Don Barone]

Well written as usual Charlotte but I was just noting to myself that I think this is the first December and Christmas season I have not been submerged in a super tsunami. Usually in December I am in the midst of some neat new revelations but nothing this year.

I wonder if my brain is finally empty of new inspirations ... or if enough brain cells have died to stop the processes.

Oh well it sure has been quite the ride !

Cheers

[Charlotte]

Hi Don, good thing super Tsunami's subside, the land dries, lays barren for a while, it rains, new greenery peeps out of the ground spontaneously and grows according to Nature's laws, not our pulling on the fragile sprouts and kill them.

Maybe the brain cells are just hibernating.

[Charlotte]

The King "put also in the coloured Pyramid (the third), the commentaries of the Priests, in chest of black marble, and with every Priest a booke, in which were the wonders of his profession, and of his actions, and of his nature, and what was done in his time, and what is, and what shall be, from the beginning of time, to the end of it."

Describing Priests of consummate Knowledge preserved in a chest of black marble. I read an account of a Being of Light directing His work to be enclosed in an Ebony Chest with his Seal on it.

The ending of the Arabic chronicle describes the actions of the Treasurers in each Pyramid who in distinct ways killed anyone who rashly broke the Seal, could be applied. Similar in our time of the Dragon spitting fire when someone came near his Treasures of Gold, precious Stones, and Pearls, except Siegfried.

The Enduring Mystery is still a mystery to me.

[Charlotte]

For whatever it's worth

Concerning the "mes which rusts not" the King put in the Pyramid, which I thought I saw somewhere as a ball attached to a string, or a spiked iron ball on a string (I remember now), both of which could not apply to a mes which rusts not, I happened on a picture of a "Mace" this morning, a Royal Scepter, which does not rust. That would make more sense though could be totally unrelated.

The Harper's Song
Sung by the Harpist for Osiris, Chief of the Crew in the place of Truth, Inherkhawy, who says:

I an this man, this worthy one,
who lived redeemed by abundance of good
tendered by God indeed.

All who come into being as flesh pass on,
and have since God walked the earth;
and young blood mounts to their places.

The busy fluttering souls and bright transfigured spirits
who people the world below
and those who shine in the stars with Orion,
They built their mansions, they built their tombs
and all men rest in the grave.

So set your home well in the sacred land
that your good name last because of it;
Care for your works in the realm under God
that your seat in the West be splendid
The waters flow north, the wind blows south,
and each man goes to his hour.

So, seize the day! Hold Holiday!
Be unwearied, unceasing, alive,
you and your own true love;
Let not you heart be troubled
during your sojourn on earth,
but seize the day as it passes!

Put incense and sweet oil upon you,
garlanded flowers at your breast,
While the lady alive in your heart forever
delights as she sits beside you.

Grieve not your heart, whatever comes;
let sweet music play before you;
Recall not the evil, loathsome to God,
but have joy, joy, joy, and pleasure!

O upright man, man just and true,
patient and kind, content with your lot,
rejoicing, not speaking evil
Let your heart be drunk on the gift of Day
until that day comes when you anchor.

The Cool Waters of Egypt

Proceed in Peace!
I shall repeat to you four good deeds
that my own heart made for me
within the serpent's coils, for love of stilling evil.
I did four good deeds within the portals of the horizon:

I made the four winds that every man might breathe in his place.
This is one deed thereof.
I made the great inundation, that the wretched should have power over it like the great.
This is one deed thereof.
I made every man like his fellow;
I did not ordain them to do evil,
it was their own hearts which destroyed that which I pronounced.
This is one deed thereof.
I made that their hearts should refrain from ignoring the west,
for love of making offerings to the gods of the nomes.
This is one deed thereof.
I created the gods from my sweat.
Man is from the tears of my eyes.

I shine, and am seen every day
in this authority of the Lord to the Limit.
I made the night for the Weary-hearted.
I will sail aright in my bark;
I am the lord of the waters, crossing heaven.
I do not suffer for any of my limbs.
Utterance together with magic
are felling for me that evil being.
I shall see the horizon and dwell within it.
I shall judge the wretch from the powerful,
and do likewise against the evildoers.
Life is mine; I am its lord.
The scepter shall not be taken from my hand.
I have placed millions of years
between me and that Weary-hearted one, the son of Geb;
then I shall dwell with him in one place.
Mounds will be towns.
Towns will be mounds.
Mansion will destroy mansion.

Coffin Texts

[Charlotte]

Concerning the "mes which rusts not", a few posts up, firstly, I saw a mes depicted as a spiked ball on a string, an instrument of punishment, which doth rust, but since this particular mes rusts not, I guessed it could be a royal scepter made of gold, silver, and precious stones, symbol of power, which rusts not. This morning I had another thought, viz., since the King put into the Pyramids all things Wise Men said and profound sciences, and anything else one could think of, which would include the science of the psyche/mind and our immortal Soul, meant is, perhaps, as St. Andrew of Crete informs us, namely, that the judgment of the tribunal of our own conscience is harsher than any law on earth.

Perhaps this has to do with the very unfortunate and ugly practice of men beat themselves bloody taken over by a mob mentality.


The Spirit of Egypt goes through fire without a flame being against it

I am he! Make way for me so that I shall see Niu and Amen.
For I am a blessed spirit, equipped with otherworldly knowledge;
I shall pass by the fearful ones -
They cannot speak (the spell) which is on the end of the book-roll;
they cannot speak for fear of him whose name is concealed, who is within my body.
I know him; I am not ignorant of him.
I am equipped, excellent in opening portals.

As for any man who knows this spell,
he shall be like Re in the east of heaven,
like Osiris within the Neatherworld;
he descends into the entourage of fire,
without there being a flame against him, for all times and eternity.

This Spirit, and of Egypt, immortalizing such sublime verses for Humanity, will be with us until we reach the limits of heaven.

[Charlotte]

The Spirit of Egypt without being a flame against it, could also be applied as in reaching Illinois where a man dreamed of building the Golden Pyramid, and did so. Applied likewise, the Spirit of Egypt depicted as Horus the Falcon by the solar panel industry, gives us inexhaustible, clean energy, the Light of the World.

Osiris, the Prototype of every Soul Who Hopes to Conquer Death

Now are you a king's son, a prince,
as long as your soul exists, so long, will your heart be with you.
Anubis is mindful of you in Busiris,
your soul rejoices in Abydos where your body is happy on the High Hill
Your embalmer rejoices in every place.
Ah, truly, you are the chosen one!
you are made whole in this your dignity which is before me,
Anubis' heart is happy over the work of his hands
and the heart of the Lord of the Divine Hall is thrilled
when he beholds this good god,
Master of those that have been and Ruler over those that are to come.

Coffin Text 197

[Charlotte]

The ritual bath with fire, the holy fire which consumed the Priest upon finding the tunnel to the Ark of the Covenant, and "the circle of fire" as given in the Coffin Texts.


I shall rightly set my bark, I am the lord of eternity in the crossing of the sky.
I am not afraid in my limbs, for Hu and Hike overthrow for me that evil being.
I shall see light-land, I shall dwell in it...

Make way for me, that I may see Nun and Amun! For I am that Akh who passes by the guards...

I am equipped and effective in opening his portal!
As for any person who knows this spell, he will be like Re in the eastern sky, like Osiris in the netherworld. He will go down to the circle of fire, without the flame touching him ever.

Spell 1031

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffin-Texts

Apparently astronomical, but said is that there are seven worlds, accordingly seven possible interpretations.

Information given is that the Priests enter into the Holy of Holies once a year on Yom Kippur, Day of Atonement, the Coffin Texts refer to the transformations and transmutations of the ba and akh.
