Open To Interpretation
Notes: Game on...on the radio...Mariners at Angels...line up cards being exchanged...I tried some searches since last post...Inca glyph, Moche glyph, Aztec glyph, then added Inca Temple Glyph, and such...then went over to the Old World and tried Egyptian Glyph, Minoan Glyph, and again added Temple...trying to fill out Step Fret Temple Glyph...thought being another ancient culture would combine the Kiosk Platform Steps into glyph for Temple...no luck...but!...happened on the Naos of Amasis...to recall from yesterday, the steps, kiosk, and platform...

Naos (Greek ναός "temple, shrine") the descriptive name given to an Egyptian hieroglyph (Gardiner O18).
The pavilion hieroglyph is a side view of the pharaoh seated, in opposing views, wearing the two separate crowns, the crown of the South, the white crown, and the crown of the North (the Delta), the red crown. The pavilion is composed of two side views of the naos hieroglyph.

Pavilion, another word for Kiosk...the Amasis Naos had a double door...top of third, no score...

As the point of contact between heaven (where the gods live) and earth (where humans live), a temple represented a horizon. The most sensitive area on the temple was the sanctuary with the naos that harbored the statue of the god worshiped there. This room was particularly well protected, and tabernacle was closed by a double door that Egyptians called the “gates of heaven.” It represented a passageway between the earthly world and the divine one.
The doors are decorated with a bas-relief depicting the high point of the temple ritual: the king Amasis kneels on a platform, wearing the khepresh crown, beneath the protective solar disk. He presented the seated god with a figurine of Maat, the goddess who incarnates order in the world. The falcon-headed god, wearing a solar disk capped by two tall feathers, is Sopdu. Associated with the East, Sopdu protected the eastern delta and watched over expeditions to the mines in the Sinai. In his hands he holds the was scepter, a sign of power, and the ankh symbol of life, two boons that he confers on the king in exchange for the offering. The rite takes place under a star-studded sky and a winged solar disk. Below, the decorative pattern evokes the façade of the archaic royal palace. Brief hieroglyphic captions identify the figures of Amasis and Sopdu. This panel is one of the earliest examples of a wooden chapel inlaid with glass.
"Below, the decorative pattern evokes the façade of the archaic royal palace."
That deocorative pattern is something!...all over Egyptian iconography is a running border, yes, much like the Greek Key running border is all over Greek paintings...I may have this misconstrued, but the border represents the palace façade...its wall...Angels up...bottom of third...and, it represents the door way to the Naos...just saw one with this distinctive...brb...

But the big find is a false door of UserAmun, someone who we have few relics of.

what I'm trying to imagine is that doorway, stylized as it is the Naos wooden doors-the bottom motifs-turned sideways and making the palace façade running border...Trout up...safe on error...bottom of 4th...Mariners 1-0...a reach...lemesse if I can nail down Egyptian Palace Border Hieroglyph...or some such...brb...Rendon W...Ohtani up...pause to listen!...Home Run!!!...Angels 3-1...

oh, I cant find the border like I want...one can see it going around the wooden doors of the Naos above...Mariners with runner at third...nope...challenge called out...perpendicularly, it looks just like the row of doors at bottom...they're just turned sideways horizontally...and the meaning is stacked...doorway/wall together...so, soh, Amasis was contemporary with the Minoan Diaspora, caused perhaps by the eruption of the Therea...that ceiling, from a Nile delta tomb, is a Minoan design...and before, I visited the Minoan frescos in the Egyptian Nile town...that border from the Naos is, I think, part of what is called Ionic Greek architecture...need to check...brb...Goodwin with a homerun...Angels 4-1...bottom of fifth?...Fletch up...fly out...oh, wiki just goes on about the columns...I see something similar to the Egyptian borders on the Greek temples, even our temples, like the Supreme Court...
