Don,
The rejuvenation of Re takes place in the north, and going back to the PT there is a coiled serpent in the north. I generally don't agree that the piccies the AE drew were meant to represent constellations; however, I have to admit that you have found an interesting parallel with the shape here. It may interest you that in the Late Period, the AE called the stars of our Leo "t

There usually are not stories in clocks unless they have radios.
There are plenty of versions of stories of Seth defeating Apep and other material describing the union of the sun with Osiris. IOW, there are many details that suggest that AE did consider Seth defeating Apep as a euphemism for Re's rejuvenation. It was part of the process. In the Book of Nut, Re becomes beautiful in the

Hi Ritva,
You might call it that, but I don't know if the AE would. Remember Seth, Thoth, and Osiris all have roles to play in helping the sun rejuvenate. It's fun speculating how they may have helped each other or stood in for one another.

Thanks for your correction. I guess just got carried away remembering a Mafdet we used to know, and thinking of him as a killer rabbit.

Seth was the god of chaos and confusion, and also of borders and boundaries. The stories of Apophis explain what happens each night. However, since time resets each night, the world is recreated again and again. Like New Year, there are parallels with creation when time begins again. Personally, I don't think there was any attempt to "explain" celestial mechanics until the Greek

I don't know the killer rabbit of Tanis.
Apophis is mentioned in many Afterlife texts besides the BoD. He is involved with stopping the sun at night. He was defeated by Seth in earlier times which enabled the sky to continue to turn. There are several versions of stories of how he stops the sun. He drinks all the water in the celestial waterway or he hypnotizes the crew of the solar ship

Dave,
My post was in reply to this one of yours in which you seemed to be lecturing Thadd and in which you made certain claims about your own background.
Based on your various Talpiot tomb posts, it's my opinion that you are very quick to bash academics for some very bad reasons. You're entitled to disagree with them and to have whatever opinions you have, but you do seem over

Dave,
Your knowledge base is the issue here, one which you yourself introduced here...what is your knowledge base based on? Your opinions on issues which you have read about may be one thing, but you have made claims here about what is being taught to students beyond high school. What is your specific knowledge base in the area of current higher education based on?

I know a fair amount about Apophis; I've got some papers here. If you want some real expert information on him from others besides myself, you may want to consider posting a question "elsewhere."

It's relevant because you have critiquing a number of experts and you have now claimed some level of expertise for yourself. You seem to be quite certain that someone who claims to be a student is being taught incorrect material or hasn't learned as much as you know. So what qualifies you?

Why would Masons do this? Or is someone else doing this with Masonic symbols? If so, why? In fact, why is anyone doing this?

I mentioned in my post why I thought it was relevant, Dave. You have stated that your "background is real and scholarly." So what is that background?
It seems to me that you have been on a mission to bash anthropology, Egyptology, and other areas of academia. What in your background qualifies you to make such claims?

I can't make much sense out of your above post. I do wish you would learn to use the quote feature so as to make it clear exactly who is saying what.
Beyond that, I find your assumptions about anthropologists to be unsupported and unsupportable. Assuming that your words are the italicized words, then you say:
