It's Enough
It's enough,
Isn't it,
Just to stay alive?
I mean, considering
What is politely hidden.

The Mutus Liber, or Mute Book (from Latin: Silent Book), is a Hermetic philosophical work published in La Rochelle in 1677. It ranks amongst the major books on alchemy in Early Modern literature, just as much as does Atalanta Fugiens by Michael Maier. It has been reprinted numerous times.

BARRANCA PROVINCE, PERU—DW News reports that a 3,800-year-old mural has been found at the Caral site of Vichama in Peru’s central coastal region. The mural, which consists of images of snakes and human heads carved into an adobe wall, measures about three feet tall and nine feet long, and stands at the entrance to a ceremonial hall.
... ... ...
The mural may have been created during a drought and subsequent famine, since other reliefs at the site depict emaciated people.

Tomb carving of Nut very close to Giger's hieroglyphics, (located by Granolaboy
in Taschen's the book of symbols reflections on archetypal images at shared at the
forum Prometheus-movie.com 7th Sept , 2012) This carving shows two figures
supporting the sky with their arms stretched out like horizontal scaffolding
b) The figure stretching around the edge of the tableau is inspired by depictions of the Egyptian sky goddess Nut, who often has Geb the god of the earth and fertility lying below, sometimes with his male member erect which so happens to be placed where it looks almost as if it inspired Giger with his depiction of the chest bursting from the victim image.
Stele of Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu, dating to the late Dynasty 25/early Dynasty 26.
This image is interesting in the way there's the winged sun disk placed
beneath the arching body of the sky goddess and also there is the circular
form in the centre of the biomechanoid goddess' body. This stele
has been a source of fascination for Aleister Crowley and became a
central point of his Thelema philosophy. HR Giger took a great interest
in Aleister Crowley's works although was not a practicer of his magic rituals.

Out of context this final shot makes little sense, yet in light of Rivette’s influence it is somewhat justified when you consider the significance of the pyramid embroidered on Susan’s jacket – crucially worn in the scene not by Susan but Roberta. The pyramid is Desperately Seeking Susan’s figurative White Rabbit and with Susan now following, it appears the pair have switched roles and are delving deeper into their own rabbit-hole.

The Acquisition
In 1902, a landowner working on his property accidentally discovered a subterranean built tomb covered by a tumulus (mound). His investigations revealed the remains of a parade chariot as well as bronze, ceramic, and iron utensils together with other grave goods. Following the discovery, the finds passed through the hands of several Italian owners and dealers who were responsible for the appearance of the chariot and related material on the Paris art market. There they were purchased in 1903 by General Luigi Palma di Cesnola, the first director of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Monteleone chariot is the best preserved example of its kind from ancient Italy before the Roman period.
... ... ...
The three panels of the car represent the main artistic achievement. Scholarly opinion agrees that the style of the decoration is strongly influenced by Greek art, particularly that of Ionia and adjacent islands such as Rhodes. The choice of subjects, moreover, reflects close knowledge of the epics recounting the Trojan War.

This famous scene from the north wall of Medinet Habu is often used to illustrate the Egyptian campaign against the Sea Peoples in what has come to be known as the Battle of the Delta. Whilst accompanying hieroglyphs do not name Egypt's enemies, describing them simply as being from "northern countries", early scholars noted the similarities between the hairstyles and accessories worn by the combatants and other reliefs in which such groups are named.
The Sea Peoples remain unidentified in the eyes of most modern scholars, and hypotheses regarding the origin of the various groups are the source of much speculation.[ Existing theories variously propose equating them with several Aegean tribes, raiders from Central Europe, scattered soldiers who turned to piracy or who had become refugees, and links with natural disasters such as earthquakes or climatic shifts.

This paper follows the iconography of the 12th century BC Philistine ‘feathered helmets’ from the Medinet Habu reliefs in Egypt to Cyprus, the Levant and the Aegean, establishing key components of the helmet and its decoration. Possiblematerial remains of such helmets found in 12th century Greece are then com- pared with the iconographic evidence.

Heavy spearmen with tower shields depicted in a fresco from Akroteri in Thera. Minoan period. Note the different colorful skins covering the surface of their shields.
Another theory which does not contradict the previous one, argues that the notches of the figure-of-eight shield were reducing its weight, thereby relieving the warrior.
