Continuing from my last blog, where I wrote about The Tomb of Osiris at Abydos. There is so many things about Ancient Egypt which cannot be explained. The hieroglyphics I write about here are just a few examples which may make you stop and think.
The massive three-story chamber located underneath the stone causeway of Khafre’s Pyramid takes you into the subterranean world below the pyramid. The structure intricately carved. Egyptologist Selim Hassan who supervised the excavation of many ancient Egyptian tombs, was one of the first to explore the Osiris shaft in the 1930s.
What is behind the famous hieroglyphics of Abydos, from the temple of Pharaoh Seti l, in Upper Egypt? It shows representations of modern ships, helicopters and even submarines! Abydos is one of the oldest and most important burial centers in ancient Egypt; it was considered a place for pilgrimage for the ancient Egyptians because it is associated with the afterlife. Abydos is still wrapped in mystery. The panel was uncovered in 1987 when the plaster covering it gave way revealing a mystery that has not been resolved to this day.
The second hieroglyphic panel at Abydos is another subject of great debate between archeologists and Egyptologist. It does appear to replicate a bulb marketed worldwide others as an Edison light bulb because of what some believe is a visible filament surrounded by a transparent substance such as glass. There is nothing to explain what this image is but various archeologists believe it represents some sort of light source, but modern science cannot explain how the Ancient Egyptians were able to paint the tombs which were carved deep into mountains in the Valley of the Kings or beneath tons of granite blocks in the pyramids.
