In essence your very reply is responding and breaking the silence (obviously), even to tell that person you are ignoring them. The need to tell them
is redundant but as soon as you make contact, your no longer simply ignoring.
Apologies for this off-topic input into your tiff/dispute. Life's too short to be angry or annoyed in that way at one another. There's nothing better
than a lively discussion with at times differing opinions, thoughts and theories. But don't let it get to the point where nothing gets done and
communication stops. Otherwise what was the point in the first place. In hindsight, avoid the original discussion or disagreement and save yourselfs
the stress of conflict.
Sounds easy but then we are only human and at times those lively debates lead to new and better truths.
Apart from that, as the title of this thread is now obsolete, since I have re-evaluated my theory on the age of the Sphinx. All in all it was still
productive, many of those that read or contributed (myself included) still learnt new facts, expanded on theories and opened the path for more
knowledge to be passed along or exchanged.
I want to thank Byrd and Heart amongst others as they have spent alot of time trying to convince me or the potential readers of this thread that my
theory was poorly thought out. I hope they get the message and know it wasn't a waste of your time.
I am envious that I did not take a similar academic path. I'm trying to learn more about the language and heiroglyphs. For pictograms and images, it's
complex. Highly context driven and can at times be seemingly subjective.
The gods seem to have evolved that way. The meanings assigned to and behind Horus of the first Dynasty could have differed greatly from the Horus of
say the 18th Dynasty. The imagery suggests just that, the gods imagery evolved over time, blending in with new ideas or systems of belief
understanding (the gods)
For example when I see Horus and Thoth connected or merged at a time in history during a certain dynasty beit through a new name, a sibling, offspring
or other type of union, that lead to a new understanding. In this case written knowledge or spoken knowledge passed along or moved via
communication.
Regarding Aker, the horizon was everything, it was the gateway to the underworld. It was never physically obtainable to reach it sadly. As one never
reaches the actual horizon. It's endless and eternal. The mountains as pillars of strength with the atum, a Barbary Lion on either side. The lions
meaning is less apparent to me in relation to the horizon. Hunting was so revered from the earliest of times, perhaps that played into the design.
