Cepheus

    On Denderah Zodiac, Cepheus is seen as a figure of a small sheep like Aries connected to or sitting on a large front leg of an animal (Ursa Major).    It has the same curved horns and is glancing backward in the same posture as Aries.
    Since Cepheus is seen as a netjeru in an animal form, therefore it represents a pure force of nature.

    Some sources state it is known as Per-Ku-hor, or unsure of Pe-ku-hor, meaning "this one cometh to rule."

    From www.siloam.net/denderah who on this page is contesting a statement in the March 2001 issue of Sky & Telescope written by E.C. Krupp, the administrative head of the Griffith Observetory in Los Angeles, who "identified the ox leg with a small lion.    But a close examination of the monument would have informed him that the creature on the ox leg is not a lion, it is a ram.    The thin folded legs under the body in the same attitude as Aries."    It is further claimed that the dead bovine (i.e. Taurus) and a ram (i.e. Aries), are at the moment of the death of the ram.    The death of Aries, which leads to the dawn of Pisces.    This represents the Past Ages of Egypt as if a "meat offering."
    I agree with the above in that it is a ram, and am enlightened that it may represent a change from one zodiac age to another.    Although Cepheus seems to be connected in his work as Denderah Decan 31 as a Tyrannical Ruler that I associate with Cetus rather than Denderah Decan 34 who connects with Cepheus and provides for the "uncreative tyrants to rob individual freedom to satisfy the rule of law."

    King Cepheus, a Phoenician constellation, the father of Andromeda, was also known as Baal-Khepeshef in Egypt:
    Baal Katsiu, "Lord of the Promontory."
    Baal Tsephon, Baal-Zephon (ba"-al-ze'-fon) or Hebrew Ba'al Tsephown, bah'-al-tsef-one', was "Lord of the North," or "Lord of the North Wind," from Hebrew Baal, a Phoenician deity, Baalim (plural), usually meaning lord, and Hebrew tsaphown, tsaw-fone', or tsaphon, from Heb. tsaphan, tsaw-fan, to hide, thus properly hidden, i.e. dark, used only of the north as a quarter (gloomy and unknown) - north (-ern, side, -ward, wind), also (in the sense of cold) [according to others an Egyptian form of Typhon, the destroyer], Baal of winter, Baal Tse-phon, a place in Egypt.

    On the Grand Temple image seen below these deities are between Pisces and Aquarius located above Decan 23, and the figure to the right is probably Cepheus.

    In the "Gospel of the Stars, by Joseph Seiss, page 86, states "In the Zodiac of Denderah a figure of a large front leg of an animal connected with a small figure of a sheep (Cepheus), in the same posture as Aries.    Its Egyptian name is Pe-ku-hor, the Ruler that cometh."

    In "The Witness of the Stars," by E.W. Bullinger, page 103 "His (Cepheus) name in the Denderah Zodiac is Pe-ku-hor, which means this one cometh to rule."

    In "The Witness of the Stars," by E.W. Bullinger, page 174 "we see Him in the mighty Hercules, who has his foot on the head of the Dragon (Draco), and his up-lifted club about to inflict the long threatened blow; we see Him crowned in Cepheus, with all His enemies subdued, and His right foot planted upon the Polar Star (ram on top of Ursa Major)."

    From www.siloam.net/denderah it states the purpose of the Sphinx, and the Denderah zodiac was to make aware of and put into effect "the moment of the first occasion, Sep Tepi (zep tepi time of the first).    The cyclical arrival of Sep Tepi on the earth occurs, like Bauval and Hancock have stated, when the stars of Orion's belt are exactly reflected by the pyramids to the house of the northern king.    When that alignment occurs, the earth will be a pillar of a cosmic kingdom, and the son of the establisher of the kingdom of Egypt will return to rule in peace and harmony."    It is claimed that Bauval failed to recognize that the Sphinx was looking toward the east to see Orion's belt before its face.    "When the Sphinx can see the eastern rise of Orion's belt, and the northern celestial pole perspective of the Giza complex is a perfect reflection of the stars in Orion's belt on the meridian, then the Sphinx will be in the time of the rising sun, and Osiris will begin to raise up the vernal sun from the duat, as it begins Coming Forth by Day (Pyramid Texts)."
    "The Sphinx is waiting for the return of Horus.    When the pyramids were constructed the Grand Gallery pointed to the constellation under Orion, the constellation of Seth (i.e. Lepus, the rabbit).    The Egyptians drew that constellation as the Seth animal.    Robert Bauval demonstrated that alignment for 2500 BC in The Orion Mystery (pg. 174),..., identified the channel rising out of the King's Chamber which pointed to Alnitak (southeastern most star of Orion's Belt), and the north entrance passage which pointed toward Kachob (Found as a similar name in Ursa Minor Star Names as b Kochab)."    Siloam claims that due to a misreading of the Book of the Dead, they did not place the Giza complex in the proper orientation with regard to precession, if so they would have seen the following.    "Looking into the face of the Sphinx, when Orion's belt rises in the east, the north entrance passage points to the constellation Cepheus (King Nu Cronus), and the southward rise of the Grand Gallery points to the contellation of Columba (i.e. Horus returning to the house of the king), which is below Orion and Lepus."    Bottom line is to restore the kingdom of Osiris.

    The constellation Columba (Dove), whose name was a genuine attempt to immortalize biblical events and was originally Columba Noae, which by literal interpretation means The Dove of Noah.    The constellation looks like an irregular "T", and has two stars of interest a Phakt, and b Wezn.    Some sources are using it to represent Horus and to replace Lepus in that area, by claiming that Columba is the Crown of Horus and meaning cosmic Truth.
