The Ravens, the Gulls, the Parrots
The Ravens, the Gulls, the Parrots,
Settled down
And it was quiet on Harbor's wharf
Beneath Volcano Never.
Everyone stood about
Thinking long thoughts.
"Have we enough,"
Petra asked Pakal, "eyes?"
Pakal looked out over the Bay
At his BlackSpace Ship,
An iridescent island on the Bay.
Kannon spoke, "Ichi?"
Blind Ichi smiled,
Pursed his lips,
Squeezed his eyelids tight
Shut,
And everyone gathered
On the wharf below Volcano Never
Held their ears,
Hearing and not hearing.
The Bats and Owls heard,
And descended from their roosts
In and around Volcano Never.
"Let's go!" said Petra.
Pakal joined Ichi in
The Long Slender Craft,
And the Black Ship crews
Mounted their Black Dragons,
Or the Black Dragons
Took on the crews,
Along with Pakal's entourage,
And they all went across the Bay
To Pakal's island BlackSpace Ship.
Thereabout was a stony beach
And an underground river
Emerging from a grand cavern.
The Dragons arrived
And waited for the Long Slender Craft
Riding a wave side by side
With the Black Dolphins
Who had heard Ichi's call too.

Hapi had a certain mysteriousness about him. The Egyptians believed that the Nile rose out of the ground between two mountains (Qer-Hapi and Mu-Hapi) between the islands of Elephantine and Philae.

The flood was commonly known as the "arrival of Hapi".

a curio...it's not an un common icon...near as I can tell, there is no icon for the Nile...searched thinking to find one...as I had the thought that the Djed pillar is the Nile...thought very hard to see how/what/stylization morphed it...runner on one away...and made a reach noting the ankh dangling from Hapi/Heh's arm...here's another Djed/Ankh/WAS with the tiny pic of Hapi...and, go figure, a fit!

As well they referred to the DJed as a source of electrical power transmission for electrical applications and so the name of pillars within the temples . . . for the Balance of the 4 elements and cosmological worlds.

the cryptogram reads “All dominion and life are in the grasp of stability (i.e. Ramses who has become Osiris)”. The king’s ka (his symbolic double) is also usually granted human arms

quote
The djed column and its rituals represent one of the deepest mysteries of ancient Egypt dating back to pre-dynastic times as does the Egyptian Book of the Dead which identifies it the Djed as the backbone/spine of Osiris, thus stability
Djed Pillar here shows Osiris holding the flail and crook of pharoahic authority, topped with the sh, symbol of life, and upraised arms representing the KA, the essence/energy of being that survives death, holding the sun, RA.
unquote
author goes on a lot about Mysterion things...but that Djed is a curio...note the T part of the Ankh...
quote
He was thought to live within a cavern at the supposed source of the Nile near Aswan.[3] The cult of Hapi was mainly located at the First Cataract named Elephantine. His priests were involved in rituals to ensure the steady levels of flow required from the annual flood. At Elephantine the official nilometer, a measuring device, was carefully monitored to predict the level of the flood, and his priests must have been intimately concerned with its monitoring.
unquote
Oh...there in the last part...'measuring device'...Trout hit something...off the roof?...bounced back to the field...a home run!...that was like that one I saw, high as it was long...Rays 10-6...
quote
A nilometer was a structure for measuring the Nile River's clarity and water level during the annual flood season.[1] There were three main types of nilometers, calibrated in Egyptian cubits: (1) a vertical column, (2) a corridor stairway of steps leading down to the Nile, or (3) a deep well with culvert.
... ... ...
The best known example of this kind can be seen on the island of Elephantine in Aswan,[1] where a stairway of 52 steps leads down to a doorway at the Nile.[4] This location was also particularly important, since for much of Egyptian history, Elephantine marked Egypt's southern border and was therefore the first place where the onset of the annual flood was detected.
unquote
somewhere in the mud of the Nile I imagine is the ancient Egytpian Pillar, a Djed column for measuring the rise and fall of the Nile...the 'raising of the Djed' iconography is the rising of the Nile...so my fancy!...
quote
The djed pillar was an important part of the ceremony called 'raising the djed,' which was a part of the celebrations of Heb Sed, the Egyptian pharaoh's jubilee celebrations. The act of raising the djed has been explained as representing Osiris's triumph over Set.
unquote
announcers keep talking about Trout stealing bases...Cower up...Trout modus operandi...walk, steal second...I have a few modus operandi too!...Cower get on?...Hapi, I think, might even be the Djed in some of the icons, like that one where he is holding the two shafts/water falls...(they're not spears)...those four rings on top of the Djed have always been a puzzle...but, thought is now they are for measuring the level of the Nile...the Ankh and WAS scepter I still think are survey tools...after the Nile flood, the landscape was a vast mud field, and had to be surveyed each year to find where to mark out the order for growing...or some such...think I read that somewhere...
quote
Whilst the earliest Egyptians simply laboured those areas which were inundated by the floods, some 7000 years ago, they started to develop the basin irrigation method. Agricultural land was divided into large fields surrounded by dams and dykes and equipped with intake and exit canals. The basins were flooded and then closed for about 45 days to saturate the soil with moisture and allow the silt to deposit. Then the water was discharged to lower fields or back into the Nile. Immediately thereafter, sowing started, and harvesting followed some three or four months later. In the dry season thereafter, farming was not possible. Thus, all crops had to fit into this tight scheme of irrigation and timing.
sometimes, sometimes, the Ankh, and the WAS scepter--noting the notch at the bottom, look like modern 'keys' for turning on and off sprinklers, or opening sluices for irrigation canals...Egyptians would have had such things to manage the canals and trenches between plants...I dunno...somewhere a depiction of them...two away...bottom of 6th?...so, so, what about the Dendera Light Bulb?...
quote
J. N. Lockyer's passing reference to a colleague's humorous suggestion that electric lamps would explain the absence of lampblack deposits in the tombs has sometimes been forwarded as an argument supporting this particular interpretation (another argument being made is the use of a system of reflective mirrors).[5] Proponents of this interpretation have also used a text referring to "high poles covered with copper plates" to argue this[6] but Bolko Stern has written in detail explaining why the copper covered tops of poles (which were lower than the associated pylons) do not relate to electricity or lightning, pointing out that no evidence of anything used to manipulate electricity had been found in Egypt and that this was a magical and not a technical installation.
unquote
it is a mystery/enigma how the Egyptian saw to see the paintings they painted underground in the tombs...there doesn't seem to be any evidence of lamp soot...but then, the oil they used in lamps may have burned that clean...another thought, a fancy, is that they could see in the dark...for sometime eye care in ancient times!...anyway, the light bulb...

Nilometer
There were many Nilometers in Egypt, but the most important ones were at Elephantine Island. The Nilometer was important as it measured the rise of the floodwaters of the Nile. If the Nile did not rise enough, the land would experience famine conditions. If the Nile rose too high, it would flood and destroy the villages. In three periods the Nilometers were restored: pharaonic, Roman, Muhammad Ali. Every temple in Egypt had a Nilometer because it was a symbol of life.

Rays made out...Pujols with a hit...Fletcher up...sometime the meter is steps, with measuring lines on the walls going down...pic looks a bit 'step fretish'...:)...9th we were in!...hmmph...double play finishes it off...Rays 10-6...cue the Mysterions...
