Figure 5.64: Visible (marked in light-blue Color) and invisible<br />
(marked in brown Color) planets on the Long (upper picture)<br />
and Round (lower picture) Denderah <strong>zodiacs</strong>.<br />
carefully for the planetary symbols in the proximity <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Sun, where this information actually was important. In the<br />
case <strong>of</strong> the planets located far away from the Sun, where there<br />
couldn’t be any doubt about their visibility, this rule was not<br />
so rigorously applied, but still used.<br />
For the majority <strong>of</strong> the Egyptian <strong>zodiacs</strong>, the sign <strong>of</strong> visibility<br />
was a star placed above the planetary figure, similarly<br />
like it was done on the Denderah <strong>zodiacs</strong>. However, on certain<br />
<strong>zodiacs</strong> another method was used. For example on the<br />
Big Esna zodiac, instead <strong>of</strong> the visibility sign there was used<br />
the invisibility sign, which was a disk replacing the head (or<br />
sometimes on the head) <strong>of</strong> a planetary figure. This convention<br />
is logical and shows that the creators <strong>of</strong> this zodiac had<br />
a good understanding <strong>of</strong> this phenomena — a planet becomes<br />
invisible because the Sun “blazes” its face.<br />
On Figure 5.65, we show a fragment <strong>of</strong> the Big Esna zodiac<br />
with the partial horoscope <strong>of</strong> autumn equinox. We indicated<br />
with colors only the planetary figures belonging to this<br />
partial horoscope. On this zodiac, the figures <strong>of</strong> the partial<br />
horoscopes do not hold walking sticks. The invisible planets<br />

Figure 5.65: The partial horoscope <strong>of</strong> autumn equinox on the<br />
Big Esna zodiac with the invisible (marked in brown) and visible<br />
(marked in light-blue) planets. The invisibility symbol (a<br />
disk) is marked in yellow.<br />
(marked in brown) have a disk (marked in yellow) placed on<br />
the head or instead <strong>of</strong> it.<br />
Let us recall that Mercury, which is a fast moving planet,<br />
was sometimes represented on the Egyptian <strong>zodiacs</strong> in two<br />
positions, one visible and another invisible. It is for example<br />
the case on the Long Denderah zodiac (see Figure 5.66).<br />
For each investigated by us Egyptian zodiac, there exists<br />
an astronomical solution for which<br />
• all the planetary locations are the same as in the main<br />
horoscope;<br />
• the order <strong>of</strong> planets is exactly the same as in the main<br />
horoscope;<br />
• all the partial horoscopes are satisfied;<br />
• the visibility/invisibility conditions are also fulfilled.<br />
Figure 5.66: A fragment <strong>of</strong> the Long Denderah zodiac with<br />
Mercury in two positions: visible and invisible.<br />
Being able to find such “perfect” solutions for all the<br />
investigated <strong>zodiacs</strong>, we can confirm that Morozov’s claim<br />
about the visibility/invisibility symbolism was indeed correct.
