This copper alloy foundation deposit records the rebuilding of the temple of the god Nanshe in the city of Sirara (modern Zerghul, southern Iraq) by Gudea, ruler of Lagash. It features a bull in a reed marsh. C. 2130 BCE, probably from Sirara, southern Mesopotamia, Iraq. (The British Museum, London).

Though the foundation pegs from Ur, Uruk, and Nippur were discovered under temple foundations, some scholars believe they served a different purpose prior to burial. The Early Dynastic Sumerian kings may have originally used the pegs as surveying pegs in a ritual boundary-marking ceremony to signify that the enclosed land was the dedicated site of a future temple. The pegs were later buried under the temple’s foundation, along with plano-convex tablets that represented bricks, as a link between the ruler who built the temple and both the gods and future rulers who might uncover the deposits in the course of future building projects.

In the case of Ancient Egypt, foundation deposits took the form of ritual mudbrick lined pits or holes dug at specific points under temples or tombs, which were filled with ceremonial objects, usually amulets, scarabs, food, or ritual miniature tools, and were supposed to prevent the building from falling into ruin.

Seshat assisted the pharaoh in the "stretching the cord" ritual. This ritual is related to laying out the foundations of temples and other important structures in order to determine and assure the sacred alignments and the precision of the dimensions. Her skills were necessary for surveying the land after the annual floods to reestablish boundary lines. The priestess who officiated at these functions in her name also oversaw the staff of others who performed similar duties and were trained in mathematics and the related store of knowledge.
.... ... ....
The Seshat emblem is a hieroglyph representing the goddess Seshat in Ancient Egypt. As the emblem symbolizes this deity, it sits atop her head. The emblem was a long stem with a 7-petal flower on top and surmounted by a pair of horns; the archaic form had 7-petals (the vertical shaft as 8), (as a vertical, with two crossed lines-(4), as a 'star', and one horizontal-(2), giving 7+ the 1-vertical shaft), and surmounted by two enclosing sickle-shaped signs, two falcon-feathers on top.
The Seshat emblem in Egyptian is the name of Seshat (sš3t). As the origin of her name is related to the male scribe, and she represents the female version, it is thought her origins also involve the stars, and ancient Egyptian astronomy.

well, a blog page is 'notes' after all...thought occurred the quotes and images are more like guests that come on to a late night tv show, and sit down to talk a bit to me, the host!...lol...I find that the Egyptians didn't have Foundation Pegs like the Sumerians, which is disappointing...what the Egyptians did have was Foundation Deposits, and elaborate ritual performed from beginning to end of a building project...from reading, the thought popped up, 'where are the Great Pyramid Foundation Deposits?'...I don't think anyone has found them, or even looked for them...yet...

Angels made out...to bottom of fourth...the Egyptian used a 'stick' for the stretching of the chord, aligning the building project, and I cant find what the stick looks like!...ground out, two down...I want to think it is Seshat's staff, a palm frond with notches, said to be used to count up Pharaoh's age, or some such...it look, I think, like the stick modern surveyors use, or did...

I dunno...a lookalike with Seshat's staff...a curio in her hieroglyph is those tall feathers of Horus are used...I went on back a ways how they might relate to Innana's reed house 'door posts'...those were Inanna's emblem...first few pics above of the reed houses show these posts...the Uruk Vase has the emblems, those standards with the curled tops...these posts carried decorations, so became standards...and, here's a long reach, the Egyptian Pylons, with often four flag poles, are stylized fronts of the Marsh Arabs reed houses...early on in my reading about Egypt I noted the authors would mention that much of the iconography was derived from the marsh reed environment...all along the Nile water plants like reeds and papyrus...and the Nile delta a look alike to the Tigres/Euphrates delta...actually, the Sud, the impenetrable swamp at the upper reaches of the Nile is full of reeds too...and tribes there subsist on cattle, and have many features of Egyptian culture...that for sometime!...it's the bottom of fifth...two down, one runner on...ground out...to top of sixth...

The earliest known shrines appeared in prehistoric Egypt in the late fourth millennium BC, at sites such as Saïs and Buto in Lower Egypt and Nekhen and Coptos in Upper Egypt. Most of these shrines were made of perishable materials such as wood, reed matting, and mudbrick.[40] Despite the impermanence of these early buildings, later Egyptian art continually reused and adapted elements from them, evoking the ancient shrines to suggest the eternal nature of the gods and their dwelling places.

Foundation deposits have also been found beneath royal pyramids in Sudan, including these beautiful faience cups preserving the names of the Kushite kings Aspelta [Acc. No. 8581] and Anlamani [Acc. No. 8579], both excavated by the Harvard-Boston expedition from the royal pyramids at the site of Nuri in Sudan.
