Cassiopeia (Triangulum)

    On the Denderah Zodiac above Aries are three connected figures representing Cassiopeia and Andromeda under Pisces.

    Some claim these to be seen as a goat, baboon and hawk.

    The first figure to the lower left is a goat-like animal with its back against the figure to the right.
    As to the figure to the right, which some claim is a baboon with a long tail, but it has the appearance of a dog, the same which is seen in Denderah Decan 8 and Grand Temple Decan 13 at the bottom of the next column, are seen in the same sitting position with hands on its thighs.
    Perched on top of both of them we see a hawk figure wearing the white crown of Egypt.
    Since Cassiopeia is seen as a netjeru of a combination of animal forms, therefore it represents a combination of forces of nature.
    The claim is that its name is Set, seated as queen.

    As seen above Cassiopeia (Triangulum) on the Grand Temple this image is located above Decan 29.

    Triangulum
- the triangle.
    In Aries we find the Hebrew word Taleh for Ram.

    Notice the connection to some of the names for this constellation.

Almutaleh,Almutal’lath, Almutla’to,

Al Muthal’lath,

Mutlaton’,

Al Mizan.

    The star:

a Tri Mothallah or "triangle," Caput Trianguli "head of the triangle," Mothallah, Metallah, Ras al Muthallah, Elmuthalleth.

 

    As mentioned in the first column and seen above are Denderah Decan 8 and Grand Temple Decan 13, which are showing similar images as seen in Triangulum.

    From www.siloam.net it claims, Triangulum "Above the Ram and Fishes is a complex trinity composed of a goat, a baboon, and a hawk with the white crown on its head.    These three represent material, physical and spiritual consciousness."    "They are bonded to Aries and Pisces at the east fish with the Utchat."

    From www.siloam.net/denderah it states that Triangulum is entitled as the "Psychic Trinity" and "Seth is the spirit of recognition, or of recall of what has been lived.    The meat offering of the ram at the ox leg is followed by the Horus hawk (foreward seeing, anticipating the future, cognition, Horus the Younger, crown of Upper Egypt), a baboon (the physical body) and a goat like creature (Seth animal, escape goat, backward seeing) behind the hawk and baboon."

    In "The Witness of the Stars," by E.W. Bullinger, page 107 "In the Denderah Zodiac Her (Cassiopeia) name is Set, which means set, set up as Queen.    ALBUMAZER says this constellation was anciently called ‘the daughter of splendor'."

    Some comparison to Denderah Decan 29 as seen below may be relevant to this constellation.

    "According to Alvin B. Kuhn, Anpu and Aan are the two thieves in the Egyptian mythos who steal the light from the incarnating soul, thus plunging into darkness (i.e. matter).    This is the age-old mythos of the dismemberment of the god when he incarnates.    He refers to Horus at the vernal equinox.    Denderah Decan 29 shows Harpocrates, i.e. Horus as a young child, so he could be referring to the two figures to his head near Aries."

    "Gerald Massey describes the ‘thieves,’ starting with Aries the Ram, look to the center from the top of Aries.    There are two figures, with their backs to each other.    The one on the left is Anpu or Anubis, with a jackal head.    He is a prototype of Hermes, the messenger, trickster, scribe, etc.    He is a stellar god.    The other one is Taht-Aanu, dog faced, a cynocephalus.    He is also a scribe and similar to Anubis.    He is a Moon god.    In the Egyptian mythos, when the Sun sets, the light is ‘stolen’ by night.    Osiris is the dying sun (son) each evening.    Ra is the everlasting Sun = Father.    Anubis and Aanu, being stellar and lunar, represent the night, which steals the light."

    "The Sun rises the next morning as Horus.    Anubis and Aanu become the witnesses of the risen god.    The stars and the Moon are witnesses to the rising sun.    The risen Horus as a falcon or hawk is just above Anubis and Aanu."

    In "The Witness of the Stars," by E.W. Bullinger, page 101 "In the Denderah Zodiac her (Andromeda) name is Set, which means set, or set up as a queen.    In Hebrew it is Sirra, the chained, and Persea, the stretched out."

    From www.siloam.net it states this about Andromeda, "Above the wall (‘Wall of the Ruler’ see Pisces) Andromeda is bound to a stone and a Tree of Life.    Below the wall in the stars, the material soul of the past life is placed at the roots of the same tree.    That message is essential message behind the Osiris-Seker neter and the constellation of the Sculptor at the bottom of the Cosmos."    (Sculptor is below Cetus and Aquarius to the left of Fomalhaut in Piscis Austrinus.    It is a modern constellation).

    As seen on "http://home.main.rr.com/ imyunnut/Den.Round.html" by Joanne Conman, commenting on Triangulum "Above Aries and the Eye, there are two figures: an ape, with a falcon wearing the double crown over its head, sitting back to back with a gazelle.    Based on his theory that the figures correspond to geographic locations, Daressy connects the ape with Thoth, standing in for the vilified god Seth, who was the god of the nome that Daressy would place here.    Based on their position on the ceiling, these figures may correspond to the spring equinox.    They are placed so that they are bisected by the east/west line."
