This is not a light bulb .

After studying this for a long time It finally hit me This is a glimpse at how they lift those heavy stones not sure exactly what it depicts - Hot air , Gas or something totally unknown look close and the inner filament looks like it symbolizes the gas . You see the hose that is filling the "?" with one guy guiding and others giving it a helping hand .

Thoughts ?

So how would they lift 100,000s stones that average about 2.5 tons each using hot air or gas?

Dirigibles or airships?

a reply to: Ravenwatcher

I like that idea; it makes more sense than it being a lightbulb to me. They certainly seem to all be comanding some sort of energy.

The average hot air balloon can lift 6 people.
A 65,000 cubic foot hot air balloon can lift a half a ton.
The blocks in the Great Pyramid weigh between 2.5 and 15 tons.

I'm not saying it was hot air but it certainly looks as if they are filling it with something causing lift

If you ask me, that thing in the carving is an electric frying pan and they are frying a snake. The tailed, baboon looking guy has two knives, getting ready to slice the snake up for serving.

I think there is some speculation that it represents an Eggplant/Aubergine harvest or thereabouts.

I would pass on the eggplant and eat snake.
I think the two people sitting face to face under the frying pan are arguing over who gets the ‘neck’.

It looks like an eggplant with a worm, but the thing that's holding it up is intriguing. This design suggest a technical fuction. You'll see it on high tension lines acting as isolation, or it could be heat dispense....
The big fellow on the right certainly makes you think he is guiding it in, looks like those who work aircraft carrier or airport with his two sticks, maybe some sort of LTA tech.

Each to their own buddy.

Snake is not really something that's on the menu much where i hail from.

Like Terpene suggests whatever is holding it up looks rather interesting.

Look at the gaps between the rectangles which appear to be unsupported.

Its an interesting piece of art no matter the interpretation i suppose.

The guy on the right has the ringing stones the guy on the left is creating the vibrations for levitation.

Michael Tellinger eluded to this. Ringing stones

www.youtube.com...

There was also a Victorian explorer who gave descriptions and diagrams of monks using sound vibration
and a parabolic dish to focus the sound - which then levitated large boulders. Some of which exploded.

Sorry cant find my link to the Victorian.

Anyway - I think you are on to something here.

Its the big guy's giant penis and the "worm" is his sperm. The two women sitting under the giant penis holding hands are giddy with excitement over the giant penis.

The lady facing away from the giant penis is scared of it, hence she has her legs up and tight together.

The guy on top of the pot is impressed and is is trying to measure it.

The upside down lady with no head wants it and that is why her legs are open.


And the rabbit headed buy has two knives and he is telling the giant penis guy to put it back before he chops it off.

It's the Egyptian story for the birth of the universe

Note the Lotus flower and depiction of Nun holding up the bubble.

Some egyptian cosmology holds that the universe was a bubble that came out of a Lotus flower that rose from the primordial sea.

Credit to this movie.

Dang it!
I so wanted it to be an electric frying pan.
Birth of the universe isn’t so bad though.

...the inner filament looks like it symbolizes the gas .

To me, it looks like a snake. the tail tapers off into a point and the head looks like a snake's head.

I would like to know what the hieroglyphs to the right of the object represent.

well i never noticed the squirrel on the right side.

i am an artist, i draw real stuff but with abstract designs in there.

if someone was to find this years from now, who knows what they would think.

maybe it is a lightbulb.
maybe it is a hot air balloon.
maybe there was 6 foot tall standing squirrels...

The Dendera light ,from Dendera Temple complex .


My humble guess is that the light bulb meaning is energy , but not as light but as magical God like energy .

giant lotus flower
Egyptian Djed pillar
god Harsomtus in the form of serpent
energy bubble emerging from the lotus flower


We really would need Indiana Jones to know this symbolism meaning full.

Just some kids sitting on the floor playing pat-a-cake. The Mother (stoned) with her back to them watching the telly.

A guy is upside down behind the telly. (first casualty of the night)

Another guy comes down from upstairs with a blown-up rubber johnny, pretending to have a massive dick, just as someone appears from the kitchen with a couple of knives whilst exclaiming, it's Dahmer time!!.

These scenes are the norm in Glasgow.

So 30 big balloons would do the bigger stones then?

I think you're onto something here BG.

The relief carvings depict a giant lotus flower with the god Harsomtus arising in the form of a serpent from it, surrounded by a bubble of magical energy. In two of the three carvings, the energy bubble emerging from the lotus flower is held up by a miniature male figure dressed in a loincloth with a sun disk on its head. In all three carvings, a full-sized male figure in a loincloth stands behind the lotus flower.

Many people are convinced that these reliefs from the southern crypt of the Temple of Hathor at Dendera depict incandescent lightbulbs. They think that the stem of the lotus flower is an electrical wire, that the magical bubble around the serpent is the glass bulb, and that the serpent itself is the filament. This, however, is, quite frankly, an absurd interpretation. It is the sort of interpretation that I would normally assume to be satirical, but yet there are many people who are firmly convinced that it is correct.

If you look at the reliefs carefully, you will notice that there are a lot of obvious signs that should tip you off that they are not depictions of incandescent lightbulbs. For one thing, in all three reliefs, the snake quite clearly has eyes and a mouth. The lotus flower the snake is emerging from quite clearly has petals. It is also worth noting that the filament in an incandescent lightbulb is actually a horizontal wire running between two vertical supply wires. The filament has to be connected to a wire on both sides or it will not produce light. The snake in the relief carvings from Dendera, however, is only attached to lotus flower by its tail; its head is not attached to anything.

There is really nothing in the relief carvings from Dendera that can be sensibly interpreted as looking anything more than extremely vaguely like a modern incandescent lightbulb—or any other kind of lightbulb. Furthermore, the scene from Dendera actually depicts a well-attested scene from Egyptian mythology. The story of Harsomtus coming forth from the primordial lotus flower is well-known from surviving Egyptian texts.
