"Volume III - Taurus and its Decan Constellations"

Taurus and its Decan Constellations.

Decan 25-26

    Decan 25 is seen below the forefeet of Taurus as a small wild boar, or a swine (See Set), above it are 15 stars (3 rows of 5 each) and it seems to be connected with the Grand Temple Decan 32 only in the reference to stars (which has 18 stars).
    Since Decan 25 is seen as a netjeru in an animal form, it represents a small pure force of nature.

    In the hieroglyphs images below
we can see first either
    the folded cloth sign, Egypt. s’,
    or the owl sign (close pin shaped), Egypt m, or am,
next is either
    the leg sign, Egypt. b,
    or the lower arm, Egypt. a,
then the mouth sign, Egypt. r,
and ends with a star.
    Thus it may read as one of the following
    [s’ -b-r] or [s’ -a-r].
    [m -b-r] or [am-a-r].

    

 

    Denderah Decan 25 as one source claims "A boar, between a male and female figure.    Above the boar are fourteen stars.    These are the fourteen parts of Osiris, the ‘Bull of My Mother’.    An indication that masculine intuition was immature in its single mindedness."
    A recount of the stars will probably revise the above slant toward the symbolism of 14.
    From www.siloam.net/denderah it is claimed that Denderah Decan 25 represents "Lepus" entitled "Emotional Obeisance" as the boar here is "also a symbol for Seth, the neter for self rationalization."    "It shows how the fourteen parts of Osiris were sacrificed, and how the salvation was effected by the twelve parts of the new celestial path of the planets.    The fourteen stars above the boar are an association with the destroyer of the realm of Osiris, who was Seth."

   

 

    If compared to Denderah Decan 25, which connects here with Orion seen with many stars as also seen above the boar.

  18 stars,   18 stars.

    Grand Temple Decan 32 is a male figure with (Hedjet) white crown of Upper Egypt and we see many stars (18) around him.

    Orion on the Denderah Zodiac is seen as below in three different places and known as Ha-ga-t.

     on Esne      

    This Decan 32 is called by     Remen herou ioun sah, or Remen-heru-an-sah,
where we see the bent lower arm, Egypt. rm,
then the water sign, Egypt. n,
then the face sign, Egypt. hr,
then the quail chick sign, Egypt. w or u,
then next has to be the sign for iwn,
then we see the Egyptian sign for sah
with a determinative |,
and ends with a star, ‘gate.’
    Thus we can see [rm-n hr-u iwn sah].
    Remen is also seen on Grand Temple Decan 32 and 34.    Remen would likely mean "forearm."
    Herou is seen on Grand Temple Decan 25 and 32.    Heru, hery is seen to mean "upper."
    Sah is also seen on Grand Temple Decan 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36.
    As seen on "http://www.egyptologyonoline.com/ astronomy.html" a claim is made that "The god Sah (Orion on Denderah Decan 21 - Grand Temple Decan 36) was the personification of the constellation later known as Orion.    Sah was described as 'the glorious soul of Osiris' and formed a divine triad with the dog star Sopdet (Sepdet or Sirius on Denderah Decan 22 - Grand Temple Decan 35) and their son Soped (Soped, Sepd on Denderah Decan 37 - Grand Temple Decan 37), god of the 'eastern border'."

    As seen on "http://home.main.rr.com/ imyunnut/Den.Round.html" by Joanne Conman, she calls this decan as "Remen-hery" thus meaning "The Upper Forearm" of Sah (Orion).    See Denderah Decan 23 for information about the "The Lower Forearm."

 

    As seen on "http://www.creatures-kbc.com/ ae_senmut_sah.htm" by Ken Bakeman, who proposes that the hieroglyphs on Senmuts' Tomb are the upper part of Sah, Upper Sah on Senenmut's Ceiling, which is seen as:
the face sign, Egypt. hr; then the mouth sign, Egypt. r; then a bent lower arm, Egypt. rm (if used as a determinative, indicates a 'concept of motion' or as a logogram, 'arm'); and the last is a phonetic equivalent of Egyptian sign for sah; and then ending with a star.
    Thus it reads [hr-r (rm) sah], meaning "upper Sah," or the "Upper part of Sah," and the "Upper Motion of Sah," or the "Upper Arm of Sah."
    It appears as Bellatrix (g Orionis marks the left shoulder) and its divinity is Horus child.

 

    Its deity is called     Amset, also Mestha.

 

    Associated with AURIGA,
it has stars
in Gemini as Castor, Mebsuta, Propus,
and Orion as Bellatrix,
and Eridanus as Zaurak.

 

Select one of the following to open it.
Each of these are connected to the constellation Taurus,
Auriga, Monoceros, Orion.
Decan 25, Decan 26, Decan 27, Decan 28.
