and resurrection, victory, purification and rebirth, a symbol of the heavenly patronage,
an attribute of a Bodhisattva, and a guide to the path? Why did those ancestors who had
this symbol depicted beside them have the spiritual authority among people in the old
days?
Anastasia: That is true. After all, people in ancient Egypt seem to have known of the
spiritual meaning of the symbols. Take the Egyptian triple scepter that consisted of a
whip, which symbolized the power over matter (the Left aspect), a rod with a hook
meaning the control of the senses (the Right aspect) and rings, the rule over one's own
thoughts. Of course, this understanding was lost in Egypt over time, too, but still
partially the information about the symbols that recorded the old Knowledge has reached
the present day.
Artefacts of ancient Egypt strike as being informative in terms of the spiritual
knowledge even today. Take just the serpent biting its own tail, with 72 rings (body
"chains")! Incidentally, I brought with me also drawings of jewellery of the Harappan
civilization that was discovered by archaeologists. On the territory of the excavation site,
they found many terracotta bracelets and rings made in the form of a snake biting its tail,
so to speak, the ouroboros of the Harappan civilization, which indicates the ancient past
of this symbol.
Furthermore, another interesting thing was discovered:: it is either a ritual belt or a
necklace. But it is its description that is interesting: it consists of 42 long beads of the
carnelian gemstone, 72 bronze spherical beads, 6 bronze beads, 2 bronze crescentshaped
end beads and two hollow cylindrical ends also of bronze. and 42 long beads of
carnelian! Thinking back, the ancient Egyptians had exactly 42 moral commandments,
of which the Jewish priests borrowed only ten to create their religion. These are
interesting comparisons. Obviously, this was common knowledge in the ancient world,
it's just that every nation attributed these commandments to their gods in different time.
Apparently, the fact that these 42 beads were made of carnelian is not a mere
coincidence either. This precious stone was widely used to manufacture various products
in the Neolithic age. It was well known in the states of Mesopotamia, Ancient India,
Egypt and among the peoples of ancient Europe, Asia and America. It was also known
in Rus, and it was mentioned in "The Anthologies of Svyatoslav". Various ritual
ornaments, amulets, talismans and ritual objects were made of it. I read that in ancient
Egypt, the carnelian was linked to different characters personifying a living Soul,
