4.1 New Approach to Decoding of Egyptian Zodiacs In this section we will describe in general terms our approach to the decoding and dating of Egyptian zodiacs. Before undertaking the task of dating any particular zodiac, first we analyzed ancient Egyptian zodiacs with the purpose of comparing their symbols. Let us emphasize that this analysis was based not only on one, two or even few similar zodiacs, but we considered the collection of all accessible to us Egyptian zodiacs. It turned out, and it was not at all evident in the beginning, that the astronomical symbolism on all these zodiacs was practically the same. This observation was crucial for a better and deeper understanding of the symbolic language of the Egyptian zodiacs. Recall that all the previous researchers attempted the analysis of particular zodiacs without a systematic comparative analysis of their symbols on other available to them Egyptian zodiacs. Let us be more specific. Is it possible to decode the symbols on Egyptian zodiacs in such a way that the same symbols would have the same meaning on all the zodiacs? Of course we have to require that the obtained in this way astronomical pictures were meaningful in all cases and their solutions belong to a historical time interval. From the statistical point of view, the last requirement, if it is satisfied, would give us a high confidence that the obtained results are not products of a pure coincidence, but they reflect the real contents of the Egyptian zodiacs. Yes, it is possible and we will provide the reader with substantial proofs supporting this claim! What is the most significant, practically all the obtained dates appear to be unique in the historical interval and indicate a single historical epoch starting in the 12th century A.D. Let us underline that the existence of a uniform symbolic language on the Egyptian zodiacs is not at all evident. In principle, it could be possible that Egyptian artists used astronomical symbols in a somehow chaotic and unsystematic manner. For example, similar symbols on different zodiacs could have completely different astronomical meanings. However, if it was the case, we would not be able to arrive to such methodical and meaningful results, which we have indeed obtained. The wrong general approach could lead in some cases to a decoding of the planetary position which were either astronomically impossible or produced some unreasonable dates. With the results already in our hands, it is impossible to accept the opinion claimed by Egyptologists, that ancient Egyptian artists created most zodiacs as products of fantasy, where their astronomical content was completely secondary. In what follows we’ll show that the astronomical content of the Egyptian zodiacs is surprisingly rich and precise, which couldn’t have been a product of pure imagination. It turns out that behind the usage of astronomical symbols on Egyptian zodiacs, there are definite and systematic rules. For example, the same astronomical symbols or their combinations, in a similar context, always have the same meaning. However, the identical astronomical notions could be represented in different ways, exactly as in the hieroglyphic writing. 4.2 Equinox and Solstice Points on Egyptian Zodiacs In this section we will discuss briefly the background behind our new unified interpretation of the symbols of Egyptian zodiacs. The precise astronomical meaning of the symbolizm on Egyptian zodiacs was not systematically investigated by previous researchers and consequently, their astronomical dating contains flaws. Figure 4.1: Fragment of the Round Denderah Zodiac. Marked in blue: “Bull laying down on a boat,” “Woman shooting an Arrow” and “Pillar” Let us notice that on many Egyptian zodiacs one can find the same or similar symbols. Sometimes, these symbols are almost identical or just slightly modified. Moreover, there are repetitions not only of individual symbols but even of larger groups. An attentive observer will notice that many of such groups or single symbols always appear in the same positions on the ecliptic, i.e. near the same specific zodiac constellation. Clearly, these symbols can not be associated with planets, which constantly change their locations on the ecliptic, moving from one zodiac constellation to another. Therefore, it becomes evident that these symbols represent something different from planets but, as their positions are fixed on the ecliptic, it is indisputable that they have some astronomical meaning as well. This observation leads us to an important conclusions which will allow us to decipher more completely the symbolic language of Egyptian zodiacs including the planetary symbols. Let us give an example. We consider the following group of symbols:
Figure 4.2: Fragment of the Long Denderah Zodiac. Marked in blue: “Man with Raised Hand”, “Bull laying down on a boat” and “Pillar” (1) A pillar, sometimes with a bird on the top of it, or in between two poles bending away from each other (see Figures 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3); (2) A man with a raised hand (see Figures 4.4 and 4.5). If that figure is shown holding in his other hand a walking stick, which is a planetary symbol, than necessarily he is standing on a boat. Figure 4.3: Fragment of the Big Esna Zodiac. Marked in blue: “Pillar” with two bended poles (3) A laying bull, sometimes with a women standing behind and shooting an arrow over the bull (see Figure 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 and 4.5). On some zodiacs, the figures of a bull and a woman are shown on the same or separate boats. On the Round zodiac only the bull is laying down on a boat. Notice on Figure 4.4, that the imaginary line on which the “Man with the Raised Hand” is standing passes exactly through the Gemini sign and we can think about it as an indication that he stands in Gemini. Notice on Figure 4.5, that the Arrow is “moving” above the head of the Laying Bull and it seems that it comes from the Woman standing behind the Bull. This group shows lots of similarities with the Round zodiac (see Figure 4.1). We would like to point out that the listed above symbols are located on Egyptian zodiacs only in close proximity to Gemini, and never appear in other parts of these zodiacs. Clearly, there is some reason that connects this group with Gemini or something inside it. A natural question arises what makes Gemini so special among other constellations that this 4.2 Equinox and Solstice Points on Egyptian Zodiacs 69 Figure 4.4: Fragment of the Athribis Zodiac. Marked in blue: a “Man with a Raised Hand” and a “Bull Laying down” on a boat. Figure 4.5: Fragment of the Small Esna Zodiac. Marked in blue: a “Man with Raised Hand”, a “Bull Laying” down on a boat, a “Woman” and an “Arrow”. group of symbols is always surrounding it? Let us try to look for some indication that may be related to the role of these symbols. First of all, the character of these symbols (bird sitting on a top of a pillar, man with a raised hand pointing up, or a pillar pointing up with two bended pillars on its sides) may indicate an idea of something “high,” for example the highest point or a kind of a local maximum of something. But this is already a good lead to explain why these symbols always appear near Gemini. The summer solstice, the northernmost point reached by the Sun (i.e. which is the highest point for an observer in the Northern Hemisphere) in its annual apparent journey among the stars, lies in Gemini. The term solstice also is used in reference to either of the two points of the greatest deviation of the ecliptic (the Sun’s ap-
