Decan 29-30

    Decan 29 seen below the feet of Cetus is a young male figure sitting with knees up on a lotus flower, in his right hand is a flail laying over his right shoulder and his left hand has his finger to his mouth.    In front of the lotus flower are two stars aligned vertically.    Also above his head are two stars aligned vertically, but these may be part of the hieroglyphics.
    See the reference to Nefertum (Nefer-Tem, Nefertem) who emerged as a beautiful child, sitting on a lotus which floated on the waters of Nun at the time of the creation.
    Since Decan 29 is seen as a netjeru in a human form, therefore it represents a spiritual understanding.

    The hieroglyphs seen here are
the bread loaf sign, Egypt. t,
then the mouth sign, Egypt. r,
and then the two stars aligned vertically.
    This simply reads [t-r] or [t-ir].
    Some sources show the first sign as the courtyard sign, Egypt. h,
and another sign, which may be the jar stand sign, Egypt. g, in lieu of the upper star.
    If so this would read as [h-r-g] or [h-ir-g].

   

    One source calls Denderah Decan 29 as representing the Future Conscious, which is setting on a Lotus.    As mentioned on the Virgo Decan the Lotus Flower is called Sesen a symbol of the sun, of creation and rebirth, because at night the flower closes and sinks underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again.    It is also a symbol of Upper Egypt.
    From www.siloam.net/denderah it states Denderah Decan 29 is seen as two entities:
    First: as "Antinous" represented "by the child with a flail, signifying mastery of the physical element, and sitting upon the lotus."    This has been entitled as the "New Age."
    Secondly: "The lotus is the constellation Coma Berenices.    In Egypt, this constellation was also known as the wig of Hathor, which topped the pillars at the entrance to the temple at Denderah, from which the zodiac monument has been removed."    This has been entitled as the "Top of the World."
    Why was it named Antinous?    Antinous born in Claudiopolis in Bithynia (northern Greece) 130 A.D., apparently drowned in the Nile.    He was made one of the last of the Roman gods, by Emperor Hadrian who had him for a lover.
    Siloam continues with a reference to Antinous on Denderah Decan 4 as the "Son of Light".

    According to Alvin Boyd Kuhn, who refers this to Horus at the vernal equinox.    Denderah Decan 29 shows Harpocrates, i.e. Horus as a young child, and Mr. Kuhn refers to the two figures above his head, near Aries (See Triangulum i.e. Cassiopeia - Adept and Bastet as seen in Cetus).

    Horus is usually depicted as wearing the Double Crown (Pshent, unification of the white and red crown) or combination of the upper and lower crown headdress with the little curly item on it.    He is also hawk-headed and carries a spear in his left hand.
    See Denderah Decan 18-19 as seen below.

    If compared to Denderah Decan 29, we find a definite major connection, with the young male, sitting on a lotus flower and touching his mouth with his finger.

 

    Grand Temple Decan 28 is a young male figure wearing a sun disk crown, with three stars above it, and is sitting with knees up on a lotus flower, in his right hand may be a serpent and his left hand has his finger to his mouth.

    Also see Grand Temple Decan 2 and 27 as seen below.

 

    Also see the fifth figure from the bottom right hand corner of the upper section of ESNE Plate 87 for a similar figure to that seen above on Grand Temple Decan 28, both are specified under Aries.

    Decan 28 is named     Qed or Qet, and possibly may be called Khentu heriyew (see Denderah Decan 30 and Grand Temple Decan 27), and seen as
a stilt sign, Egypt. q
a hand sign, Egypt. d
next a jar sign, Egypt. determinative,
which ends with a star.
    Qed is also seen on Grand Temple Decan 28 and 29.
    As seen on "http://home.main.rr.com/ imyunnut/Den.Round.html" by Joanne Conman, "Sawey Qed" (also mentioned on Denderah Decan 28) means "The Two Sons of Qed."    She also claims that "Qed" means "to go around, like the potter's wheel."    "Neugebauer and Parker say this is the four uraei on a support, but in both their and in Daressy's illustrations, these figures look like four human-headed serpents to me."

    On "http://www.creatures-kbc.com/ae_senmut_sah.htm" by Ken Bakeman promotes that the hieroglyphs on Senmuts' Tomb after the 'front facing' stars are followed by the hieroglyphs for the "twin pot makers" and in sequence by the imagery of the pottery wheel of the Qed ('builder') twins.    In this case we can see first "Qed" and then "Sasa Qed," as seen on Grand Temple Decan 28 and 29    Perhaps this was envisioned as turning or revolving the attention of Herf-haf to the celestial events which took place before the Sah-related group of decans.

    Its deity is called Hor, Hor-pa-kraat (Horus the Child) - Heru, Hoor-par-kraat, was the son of Isis and Osiris, and seen as a young boy with a child’s sidelock of hair, sucking his finger.    His silence developed the common "shhh" gesture.

    Also see Lupus under Libra for more information on this subject.

    "The Greco-Romans called him Harpocrates (god of silence), meaning ‘justice’ or the ‘Victim of Justice,’ ‘Vindication of Majestic Law,’ or the quiet submission.    This has great significance and a connection with Libra as the coming of Justice as the opposite of Aries."    Denderah Decan 29 and the Grand Temple Decan 28 shows Horus as a young child, with his finger over his mouth, signaling silence.
