Notes: game on...on the radio...pre-game interview...Terry and Scioscia going on about pitching...Ohtani another bullpen session...Angels in San Diego to take on Padres...NL rules, so no DH...Ohtani can just pinch hit...because, because no effort at all to have him play a position!...hmmph...his height limits him to first base, or the out field...a great advantage actually...I dunno...seems a no brainer...anyway, was thinking how to further the notion that in the Egyptian iconography where something is, is what something means...on the stele, a sun with beaming rays symbol is always at the top, and above doorways this is seen...and, the sun symbol has many different representations...below it are other locations for symbols that too have many different representations...symbols...elements...hard to pin down just what an icon is to the ancients...they were totally enamored of epithets and puns...epithets/puns are like synonyms...just the top of a stele is a natural name...anything at the top of anything is something!...lol...'pin' has synonyms that fit...a wrestler will pin his opponent...paper memo pinned to a bulletin board...words penned to paper...pigs penned in their pen...an element will have its nested synonym epithets/puns...oh, here I can lay out my whimsy about the Sumerian bulla...the bulla were round hollow clay balls that held small clay balls that represented something to be counted...an early inventory counting tool...ten sheep, ten clay balls, in one bulla, the bulla sealed...the sealed bulla is an encryption...the count can't be altered, and can be carried/delivered as a truer than true accounting...so, these are found in graves/tombs...another kind of bulla...the Great Pyramid a giant bulla sealed until the tomb raiders got to it...archaeologists nowadays are desperate to find tombs untouched by tomb raiders...it's the only way they can get an accurate accounting/tale of what went before...detective shows always have the dilemma of crime scenes being disturbed...so, so, supposing the archaeologist find a pristine tomb...then, then they have to re- inventory it all, with labels and tags and documentation...and then, I'm not sure what new 'bulla' all this goes in!...museums, books, scholarly papers, tourist traps, youtubes, web pages, on and on, etc. etc....the very noggins of the scholars...bullas all!...so there's a nesting going on...eggs in a nest opened eggs in another nest opened eggs in another nest opened...so, so then the likes of me goes about the web rummaging/digging through what the scholars and the Mysterions have nested their eggs in on the web...this actually a legitimate scholarly 'digging'...and I try to stay true to the pristine idealism of keeping as close and true to what originally came out of the first nest/bulla!...of course I can't do that, and it's not important I can't...I'm in the 500s seats watching the game!...players have taken the field?...nope...score card exchange...or, or, I'm listening to the game on the radio!....folk really really like to go to live games...pay much for close up seats...and hereabout with my running 'account' of the games progressions, I, well, I'm putting clay balls in a bulla...baseballs actually...Calhoun line drive to third base...one out...Fletcher up...with the iconographies, where the emblems are, well, like where the grave goods are in a tomb, has import...and the goods/emblems have epithets/puns...another and another ground out...to bottom of 1st...really really want to go to San Diego to see Angels and Padres...followed the Padres when I was in Rainbow, North San Diego County...oh, a spurious aside!:...an address is a nest of eggs within a nest of eggs...and, forgot to follow things out...this post is a nest/bulla, all in it the balls/eggs...how, dear reader, you open it, and manage its contents, for your nests, is...I dunno...that's where things always leave off!...scholars publish what they find, and, then what?...clearly, the ancients filling tombs with stuff, had some odd notions about 'publishing'...add in the temples and monuments and artistries and all and it's a muddle!...Kerouac famously said he could 'read', re create, the progress of an entire baseball game by looking at the box score...MLB has meticulously kept box scores for every game ever played in the majors....add to this sports reports, and there's an immense 'nest/bulla'...and highly valued...one gets into the Hall of Fame on the merits of one's stats!...where's the game at?...Padres must have made out...to top of 2nd...another ground out...Kerouac obsessed all his life on a fantasy baseball game of his own making...for sometime...Marte up...two out I think...another ground out!...that, actually, is how good pitching should go...strike outs are over rated...puts defense back on its heels...anyway, epithet:...heck...modem acting up...green lights not in synch...this is a happening more and more when I'm on line....I suspect this all has to do with the preferential net speed allocations...go figure...'netgear now connected'...brb...bottom of 2nd...'clean inning' for Heaney...to top of 3rd...

An epithet is especially recognizable when its function is largely decorative, such as if "cloud-gathering Zeus" is employed other than in reference to conjuring up a storm. "The epithets are decorative insofar as they are neither essential to the immediate context nor modeled especially for it. Among other things, they are extremely helpful to fill out a half-verse", Walter Burkert has noted.

He published books on the balance between lore and science among the followers of Pythagoras, and more extensively on ritual and archaic cult survival, on the ritual killing at the heart of religion, on mystery religions, and on the reception in the Hellenic world of Near Eastern and Persian culture, which sets Greek religion in its wider Aegean and Near Eastern context.
... ... ...
In his preface to the English translation of Homo Necans Burkert, who characterised himself on this occasion as "a philologist who starts from ancient Greek texts and attempts to find biological, psychological and sociological explanations for religious phenomena",[
... ... ...
The book argues that solidarity was achieved among the Greeks through a sacred crime with due reparations: "for the strange prominence of animal slaughter in ancient religion this still seems to be the most economical, and most humane explanation"
... ... ...
In early literary sources such as the Homeric epics the Iliad and Odyssey, onlooking women raise a cry of worship (ololugma) at this point in the ritual.

Angels make out...but get another run...Angels 2-0...to bottom of 3rd...the 'ritual', the sacrifice animals in wiki's take on Brukets take, has an antecedent in the sacrifice of people...savages we all were...maybe still are!...I dunno...the ritual becomes emblems located in a narrative...the emblems' locations in a stele, a vignette, have a counterpart in the proceedings of rituals...each time 'slot' is like a place for this or that...don't know but one wanting to be a Hollywood script writer would do well to just break scripts down to their timing...at each time in a movie certain things can be expected to happen...Padres make out, but get a run on a home run...Angels 2-1...to top of 4th...oh, I'm never going to get to everything in mind in this post--game going too fast!...movies as rituals...and a way to see this would be to lay out things in comic strip fashion...which is exactly what story boards do!...

A storyboard is a graphic organizer in the form of illustrations or images displayed in sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing a motion picture, animation, motion graphic or interactive media sequence.
The storyboarding process, in the form it is known today, was developed at Walt Disney Productions during the early 1930s, after several years of similar processes being in use at Walt Disney and other animation studios.

The Orientation of the Iconopraphy in the Tomb of Tutankhamun.
... ... ...
In the belief of Ancient Egypt the East was the place of the sunrise, the light, so the East was related to the world of the living. For that reason cities and temples to the divinities (like Karnak or Luxor) were set up at the East side.
In the tomb of Tutankhamun the East side was also reserved to scenes of the world of the living.

The New Kingdom "Books of the Netherworld" were the nec plus ultra of initiate knowledge, kept secret by a very small priestly elite. Because of their ultimate magical efficiency, realized by integrating new insights into the Duat, they were written around the sarcophagus of the divine kings.
... ... ...
More than a millennium before these texts, the physical tomb and its spatial semantics was canonized
... ... ...
The Books of the Underworld are a "strip-like" literary genre, telling the story of the regeneration of the subtle bodies and the illumination of consciousness, represented by the "Ba of Re" in his barque.
... ... ...
The Ba of Re is "swallowed" by Nut, the star-goddess who's body appears at Sunset. The "unseen" path of Re is associated with the Duat, the "underworld", starting at 6 pm and ending at 6 am.

Though it's slightly lopsided, the towering Great Pyramid of Giza is an ancient feat of engineering, and now an archaeologist has figured out how the Egyptians may have aligned the monument almost perfectly along the cardinal points, north-south-east-west — they may have used the fall equinox
... ... ...
In his experiment — which he conducted in Pomfret, Connecticut, on Sept. 22, 2016 (the day of the fall equinox) — Dash placed a rod (sometimes called a "gnomon" by modern-day surveyors) on a wooden platform and marked the location of the rod's shadow throughout the day.

Padres' starter still in the game too...two out...Calhoun up...that's the method I saw once before...Calhoun with a hit...first since the third inning...here's the other:
quote
Ancient Egyptian astronomers aligned the pyramids due north by using two stars that circle the celestial polar point.
... ... ...
But the alignment was only true for a few years around 2,500 BC. Before and after that time, the stars deviated from the north-south line and anyone using the stars to plot a direction would have made errors.
And it is these mistakes that a British Egyptologist now believes can be used to estimate very accurately when the pyramids were built. Her theory suggests that the Great Pyramid at Giza was constructed within 10 years of 2,480 BC.
She believes the ancients may have used a pair of fairly bright stars, which in 2,467 BC lay precisely along a straight line that included the celestial pole.
