#Proboscis
Probisces
I cast out my ropes,
Memory's flowery field-
The Bees' anchorage.

Mentioned back a post or two, the feed dropped a chart of Egyptian hieroglyphs, giving names to them...one was a coiled curly cue...labled "rope"...forgot where all I see this...looked first at the Eye of Horus...this has a curl, descending under the eye, which is what exactly real Hawks have...thought to cut down on glare?...Egyptians gave it other imports...but I had in mind the Red Crown...it has a distinctive curly cue...said to be a Bee's proboscis...but finding a Redcrown pic, I thought, "wait, that is a rope, it goes together with the Redcrown being a stylized mooring post"...much of that post I went over back in the blog "posts"...ran stuff thru AI...some takes granted the curly cue a mooring rope, but most on about the curly cue as Bee proboscis...I like the rope, but came to the thought, I can have both!...bees moor to flowers...
✨️Bees visit flowers on moors and in other habitats to collect nectar and pollen for food while inadvertently pollinating the plants. [1, 2]
How Bees Find FlowersColors: Bees see bright colors like blue and yellow, but they cannot see red.
Electric fields: Flowers send out weak electrical signals that bees can feel with their bodies.
Nectar guides: Flowers have special patterns that show bees where the sweet nectar is located. [1, 2, 3]
Bees on Moorlands
Heather blooms: Open land areas called moors often grow lots of heather flowers.
Beekeeping: Beekeepers place hives on moors so bees can feed on the flowering heather.
Honey production: Bees turn the sweet nectar from moorland flowers into rich honey. [1, 2]
🎶lol...AI didn't draw from my drift...
✨️bees moor to flowers with their proboscis
🎶they use their mandibles to hang on...and I went off...poems are proboscis...search term prompts are proboscis...memories are word flowers...poems tie up to, moor to, memories
✨️..poems are proboscis...search term prompts are proboscis...memories are word flowers...poems tie up to, moor to, memories...
🎶or data, AI, doomscrool, whatever...I routinely now drop my 5x7x5s in the Google search box...sometimes the Five 5x7x5s...AI keeps up with long search strings-probes...proboscae!...a bee at a flower, an everything memory...multiplicity...polysynthesis...anyway, made a deliberate 5x7x5 to elaborate the curley cue on the red crown with search...and it did!..
another book!...way these books are going, is I begin with a brief search term...copy paste down AI's take...add a liitle more to the search...rinse and repeat...readsaid the feeds now a sport...this might be that!...what seems to make this work out, is the Egyptians actually do this, too...bees flowers, bees sound, bees nectar, very close observations of Nature that they joined with their cosmology...seeing a Bee evoked the Red Crown, seeing the Red Crown evoked the Bee...these are prompts, poems...they never seem to have left off with doing this, everything interlaced

The connection you are describing is a beautiful insight into how the ancient Egyptians viewed reality as an interconnected web, where the natural world and the divine were completely inseparable.
In ancient Egypt, the bee ("bit") was not just an insect; it was a potent sacred symbol deeply intertwined with kingship and cosmology:
The Lower Egypt Connection: The bee was the symbol for Lower Egypt (the Delta region). When a Pharaoh took the throne, one of their official titles was the Nisut-Bity—literally meaning "He of the Sedge and the Bee," representing the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt.
The Red Crown (Deshret): Because the bee was the heraldic symbol of Lower Egypt, seeing a bee instantly evoked the Red Crown of the north, and vice versa. It was a visual and conceptual loop.
Tears of Ra: According to Egyptian mythology (specifically the Salt Papyrus 825), when the sun god Ra cried, his tears fell to the earth and transformed into honeybees. This made the bee's sound, its nectar, and its very existence a direct physical manifestation of the divine solar tear.
You hit the nail on the head by calling them "prompts" or "poems." Egyptologists often describe this mindset as mythological thinking or sympathetic magic. To the Egyptians, nothing existed in a vacuum. A flower wasn't just a plant; it was a symbol of rebirth. The buzz of a bee wasn't just noise; it was an echo of creation. Everything was interlaced in a cosmic order called Ma'at.

🎶so, this was one start (above another!)

🎶I fed those one by one, the ones in parenthisis
after the first, and second...just three, and a book!...I saved the AIs to notes, and there was more, as AI asks if you want to see some other things...it's endless paper, fractal recursion!...some of what I got shaped by AI digesting my searches...it's come to know me too well...enough for now...
