Hathor’s bust in the British Museum (34d) is extremely similar to the portrayal of the goddess Arinna in Alaca Höyük at the Sphinx Gate (38b), and appears to be the origin of the shape of the “pharaoh bust” as seen in Egypt on the sphinx (38e). This shape is actually very much like a mushroom head, and if one examines the back of King Tut’s Tomb from 1323 BC, one immediately notices the shape, when taking the braid into consideration (35d). The Egyptian Headdress as a mushroom becomes more apparent when viewing an Egyptian polychrome wood mummy mask c. 1292-944 BC, with gills painted in orange all around the head (32g). Other times she displays the orb and horns headdress (34e).  R: (38b) The Goddess Arinna at the Sphinx Gate Alaca Höyük, Turkey  (38e) The Sphinx, Egypt Herodotus mentions in his writings how cows were sacred to Isis and her statues were cow headed (102), however, in the History of Herodotus by George Rawlinson, the author argues that it is only when one goddess adopts the traits of another that it happens that Isis has the head of Hathor. Isis clearly has a set of horns atop her head with an orb in between. Is this the sun, as most historians assume or something else? It is assumed to be the sun. But why is the goddess holding up the sun? As we have seen, it is clearly a stinking dung ball that has surprisingly gone un-noticed under the noses of scholars and researchers. Each of the Egyptian deities who is depicted with horns above their heads and an orb in between should be viewed as dung-mushroom deities, for lack of a better term. |
  R: (32g) Egyptian Polychrome Wood Mummy Mask c. 1292-944 BC   (35d) Mask of Tutankhamun 1323 BC From Thebes, Egypt we get the following Hymn to Isis: “In the beginning there was Isis: Oldest of the Old, She was the Goddess from whom all Becoming Arose. She was the Great Lady, Mistress of the two Lands of Egypt, Mistress of Shelter, Mistress of Heaven, Mistress of the House of Life, Mistress of the word of God. She was unique. In all Her great and wonderful works, She was a wiser magician and more excellent than any other god.” – Thebes, Egypt, 14th century BC (103) (102) Mythology and Symbols, p. 116; Heredotos, "Herodot Tarihi" 1st. 1983. ss. 103-104 (103) When God was a Woman |
