Notes: Game on...on the radio...Tigers and Angels...bottom of third...Thais with lead off hit...next batter, Smith?, soft ground out...one down...Fletcher up...a long double...Orioles 3-2...Trout up...Thais with two home runs yesterday (napped right through it!), the second a walk off to win the game...Angels 5-Orioles 4...3-1 count...hit by pitch...dumb pitch by pitcher...Trout was being pitched around with first base open...Ohtani up...from post day before yesterday:

Ohtani walks too...bases loaded...Upton K...Calhoun up...two down...1-1 the count...on the other page where I found that mold, the author wondered about the cog wheel like border, even asked readers if they had seen the like on other artifacts, to let them know...Calhoun had a home run in previous inning...K...that's one way to do things...walk both Trout and Ohtani to get to Upton and Calhoun...hmmph...to top of fourth...seeing that, I thought of the California Indian cog wheels...which is a reach...they are probably mace heads, or fishing net weights...but, looking about for Minoan things, I happened upon the Cyclades 'frying pans'!...
quote
Frying pans is the descriptive name for Early Cycladic II artifacts from the Aegean Islands, flat scillets with a "handle", usually made from earthenware but sometimes stone (Frying pan (Karlsruhe 75/11) is an example). They are found especially during the Cycladic Grotta-Pelos and Keros-Syros cultures. Their purpose remains unknown, although they are usually interpreted as prestige goods.

I think they are mirrors, which is one of the speculations...Angels turn a magic double play...Fletcher at second flipped the ball with his glove to short stop Simmons...second is where Fletch belongs...but he does third pretty good too!...to bottom of fourth...looking at the fry pans, I can't imagine what was in the bowl part that reflected...one thought, 'darkened olive oil'...I need to do the experiment of taking a black iron frying pan with water in it, and seeing how the stars are reflected in it...sun too...it might be the simplest of sundials, astronomical observing tool...those cog marks would come in play...a scaled up version of this might be the Egyptian reflecting ponds...reflections in water are an easily apparent mirror, and surely a fascination to early people just beginning to use our acuities as humans...that's an odd take...'as humans'!...like we were something before being humans!...lol...anyway, the frying pans are a fascination, and I don't know what they reflect...the one with the boat has the curly cues, that motif I've been going on about, oh, already I've forgotten the term...Thais got on base again...Renigfo brought in to bat for Smith...ground out...eesh...forgot I came into game late...it's the top of eighth...guilloche...mind's eye kept seeing 'q' or 'c'...to begin spelling!...to do the side by side I want, I need to get that Egyptian tomb ceiling with the guilloche...oh, wait...oh, heck...two more runs for the Tigers!...Tigers 5-2...I found a fragment of a guilloche from an Egyptian tomb, which, as it turns out, is noted for its astronomical paintings...

During the 1922–1923 excavation season, members of the Museum's Egyptian Expedition began work in the tomb chapel of Senenmut, one of Hatshepsut's best-known officials. The chapel had been carved into a layer of very poor quality limestone on the northeast slope of Sheikh Abd el-Qurna hill in Western Thebes and portions of the ceiling had caved in, including thick layers of painted plaster.
Senenmut's offering chapel consisted of two rooms forming a T. The chapel faces almost due east and the entrance leads into a broad, transverse hall extending to the right and left (north/south). The long axial hall extends straight ahead (west). The ceilings of these two rooms were painted with a variety of geometric patterns and bands of text recording offering prayers and the name and titles of Senenmut. At the end of the excavation season, the Museum was awarded several pieces of the painted ceiling plaster. This fragment came from the south side of the transverse hall (the first room).

Senenmut had a chapel and a tomb constructed for himself. The chapel is at (TT71) in the Tombs of the Nobles and the tomb is at (TT353), near Hatshepsut's mortuary temple, and contains a famous star ceiling.
They were both heavily vandalized during the reign of Thutmose III,

another home run on infield bloop hit...if I remember right, Thutmose III has the guilloche ceiling that I'm trying to find...he reigned, they reigned, about the same time of the Minoan colony painting...a wonder is if the Minoan painting were done by refugee Minoan artists...maybe my fanciful guild of painters...too, there will have been guilds of astronomers...Tigers made out...to bottom of eighth...Trout up...

The tomb is dated back to the period of the 18th Dynasty - c. 1473 BC. It would not be a site of much interest without its ceiling and beautiful paintings. The walls are decorated with impressive celestial diagrams. The southern and northern panels present circumpolar constellations. They are depicted in the form of discs. Each one of them presents 24 hours of a day, deities of Egypt, and the lunar cycles. It is of interest to note that the constellations presented of the diagrams are well known to modern people. For example, one of them depicts the Big Dipper. The painting in the tomb proves that Ancient Egyptians already knew of this constellation.

Trout fly out...Ohtani up...
the guilloche on the frying pan is a common frying pan motif, along with the twisted rope guilloche, and curiously, the equilateral triangle, thought to be a vagina, which it indeed it looks like at the bottom of some of the pans, but is it a pun?...it has about it the equilateral triangle divided into two, making 3-4-5 ones, the Pythagoreans 'tell'! ...Angels make out...to top of ninth...lead off hit...with a throwing error by Simmons...runner at second...Tigers with another run...Tigers 7-2...well, on the fly I can't find the pics I want, but I know where they are...take another crack at this tomorromorrow...anyway, for a long time, I've had my 'homiridae' notion, the blind 'sons of homer'...the Egyptian musicians are often portrayed as being blind, and a thought is they were made this way to make their hearing more acute...and their only concern playing music...a blind story teller might fall in the same category...

The Homeridae were a family, clan or professional lineage on the island of Chios[1] claiming descent from the Greek epic poet Homer.
The origin of the name seems obvious: in classical Greek the word should mean "children of Homer". An analogous name, Asclepiadae, identified a clan or guild of medical practitioners as "children of Asclepius". However, since the existence of the Homeridae is authenticated while that of Homer is not, and since Greek homeros is a common noun meaning "hostage", it was suggested even in ancient times that the Homeridae were in reality "children (or descendants) of hostages".
... ... ...
The natural further step is to argue that Homer, the supposed founder, is a mythical figure, a mere back-formation, deriving his name from that of the later guild.

hmmph...the Minoans in Egypt may have been captured...Tigers made out...to bottom of ninth...so, I imagine this story telling guild, the story tellers traveling from town to town, much like gypsies, or carnivals...I probably got this from the old werewolf movies...the sign of the werewolf was a pentagram on the palm...self same emblem of the Pythagoreans...another guild...this whole guild notion has a lot of possibilities...it's well known the Persians took captive Egyptian artisans back to the Persepolis for construction...I dunno...so intrigued by this, I have the Homeridae in my Black Deck Tales...Renigfo up...K...and that is how the ball game ends...Angels getting beat up by bottom dwelling teams...how this guild thing must have looked in the ancient world is just how baseball teams 'look'...itinerant gypsies going from town to town...
