Dendera – Inside the Temple of Hathor, ceiling dedicated to the night sky and the Zodiac

The Dendera Zodiac found inside the Temple of Hathor (this original is at the Louvre in France).

Excerpt from NOT IN HIS IMAGE by John Lamb Lash:

The Dendera Zodiac (pg164):

On the west bank of the Nile just a stone’s throw from Nag Hammadi is Dendera, the site of a magnificent Ptolemaic temple dedicated to Hathor, the Egyptian Eve. A bas-relief on the roof of a small chapel there preserves the single intact zodiac surviving from antiquity. Axes in the infrastructure of the model show that its designers understood the entire 26,000-year cycle of zodiacal precession. The proximity of this astronomical treasure to the caves of Nag Hammadi has been overlooked by scholars, yet it is more than likely that the Egyptian codices originated from the official library of the Dendera temple, or what was left of it.

Excerpts from “Dendera Decoded” by John Lamb Lash:

The Dendera Zodiac is a bas-relief from southern Egypt preserved in the Louvre. Densely encoded with myth and historical allusion, this artifact preserves the wisdom of forgotten ancestors who saw into the secrets of time. Designed like a time-scanning dial, it reveals the mythic pattern of humanity’s experience over 26 millennia.

The Zodiacal Ages (Arien, Piscean, Aquarian) are engraved on the Dendera Zodiac in pictures that can be cross-linked to star-patterns and in turn to historical periods. The result is a comprehensive agenda, a visionary overview of human development in the long term.

Dendera demonstrates initiated knowledge of the full 26,000-year cycle of astronomical timing (precession), including the start-point or zero hour of the full cycle. Such precision is not possible without knowledge of the direction to the galactic center and precessional alignment with the center, or lock-in-phase, coming in 2216 CE.

The Dendera Zodiac registers the oldest known calendric date, 4241 BCE.

On that count alone, this artifact is unique in the world, but it also exhibits several remarkable features not found in any other ancient relic. It displays the comprehensive framework of World Ages with specific reference to the time in which we are now living, and the two centuries ahead.

Egyptian Goddess Hathor (Canaanite Ashtoreth), stone plaque, c. 1250 BCE, British Museum

The Goddess Hathor, the Egyptian Eve, was often pictured with an “omega”-style hairdo, representing the internal structure of the female organs of reproduction (fallopian tubes). Here she is pictured with two snakes in her left hand and sacred herbs in her right. Hathor is one of many goddesses associated with childbirth, healing, the preparation of sacred plants, and the serpent power (Kundalini). In prehistoric times before temples were built, naked priestesses of her cult would have prepared entheogenic potions for initiation.
