Why was the looped sash worn at the king’s waist almost always painted red? What significance does this color hold and what message does it convey as a prominent regalia element? In the first post on the red looped sash, we discussed the use of sashes in general, outlined previous scholarship on the regalia element, and pointed out the occurrences of the looped sash in Ramesside royal tombs. That post noted that flowing sashes were connected to divine insignia and appear to have been related to the ankh, an important symbol of revivification. In this second installment of our examination of the looped sash, the focus is a general examination of the color red in ancient Egypt. Although it may seem a digression, it is important to this four-part discussion of the range of meanings inherent in the physical appearance of the looped sash that an investigation of its color be carried out.

“Ear stelae” are a staple of ancient Egyptian art. In these scenes, which were carved into stone, both left and right ears are depicted alongside images of devout worshipers. The purpose of these stelae were to enable Egyptian Gods to hear the prayers of their people.

Plan of the labyrinth of Chartres Cathedral.
North transept rose window, c.1235
South transept rose window, c.1221-30
Each bay of the aisles and the choir ambulatory contains one large lancet window, most of them roughly 8.1m high by 2.2m wide.[32] The subjects depicted in these windows, made between 1205 and 1235, include stories from the Old and New Testament and the Lives of the Saints as well as typological cycles and symbolic images such as the signs of the zodiac and labours of the months, or the Good Samaritan parable.
... ... ...
Just like their northern counterparts, the south transept portals open into deep porches which greatly extend the space available for sculptural embellishment. A large number of subsidiary scenes depict conventional themes like the labours of the months and the signs of the zodiac, personifications of the virtues and vices and also further scenes from the lives of the martyrs (left porch) and confessors (right porch).

Pythagoras on one of the archivolts over the right door of the west portal at Chartres
Joseph Campbell references his spiritual experience in The Power of Myth:
I'm back in the Middle Ages. I'm back in the world that I was brought up in as a child, the Roman Catholic spiritual-image world, and it is magnificent ... That cathedral talks to me about the spiritual information of the world. It's a place for meditation, just walking around, just sitting, just looking at those beautiful things.same wiki

Like the two earlier Great Netherworld Books, the Book of Caverns first of all describes the journey of the sun god (Ra) from the western horizon to the eastern horizon through the underworld, the divine creatures that he meets, and his interaction with them. Important landmarks on his journey are
- the caverns of the "justified" deceased, now divine creatures (1st and 2nd tableau);
- the cavern of Osiris’s corpse and the sun god's own two divine bodies (3rd tableau); and
- the exit of the underworld for the sunrise (final tableau).

lead off home run for Astros...Astros 5-3...and another single...in my thought while looking at images of these books, was the lookout for Pythagorean triangles...there's not that many that are distinctive, though often in all the geometric things the Egyptians depict, the triangle, the Pythagorean triples, are sort of imbedded in things...like the Great Pyramid if sliced down the middle makes two right angle triangles...which is just like a no brainer, but Mystereons go on about it...but in the Book of Caverns I found one...a couple more hits and another run...Astros 6-3...

The squat, spherical body is decorated with a wide central band of angular geometric designs. These step patterns are thought to be references to stepped pyramids or temple steps; a motif often depicted in their art.

Kamuef (‘the bull of his mother’), Tomb of Ramses IX.
In this image, Schwaller saw the Pythagorean principle of tri-unity. In Egyptian theology, ka (‘bull’, ‘spirit’) indicates the active masculine force in the triad; mut, the ‘mother’, represents the feminine receptive force; while the child or son represents the product. The paradox that binds the three aspects of this lineage into a triangular unity lies in the fact that the son, by recapitulating (indeed reincarnating) his father, becomes thereby the bull (spirit and inseminator) of his mother. In short, he is the father of himself. Rather than being a simple ‘product’, he exists both in a primary state, ‘before’ the separation or differentiation into gendered polarity (male-female) and in an ultimate state, ‘after’ the two poles have been differentiated and then recombined (the alchemical conjunctio or cohabation).
Reproduced from R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, The Temple of Man: Apet of the South at Luxor. Rochester, Vermont: Inner Traditions International, 1999.

it's just a spell!...dag nabbit!...lol...but that's how the Mystereons go on and on...and it is a curio that it is a Pythagorian triangle...and there is some import that the serpent makes the two sides, which Mystereons note...and which may be a clue to all the serpent depictions...maybe counting them all up and doing a pie chart will unravel that enigma!...Arcia up...there are tons of angles in the Egyptian paintings...as there are in the Andeans' tocapus...and I don't think any of the scholars have collated them, and captioned them...a daunting task...two out...Ward up...2-2...Angels had it in them tonight to win this one...but came unraveled...K...Doom won...
