"2020

I may not have found the answer to the Secret I was looking for in Kemet, but I shared something with the thousand-year-old lords of the Nile. Then, I remembered this passage from a story that some Bards once told:

[...] Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don't wanna die, I'm a god
Why can't I live on?
When the Life Giver dies
All around is laid waste
And in my last hour
I'm a Slave to the Power of Death [...]

(Iron Maiden, 1984, Powerslave)"

[Excerpt from the Sukha' SacredBrew Logbook]

It is believed that the axis of the temple was positioned by the ancient Egyptian architects in such a way that on October 22 and February 22, the rays of the sun would penetrate the sanctuary and illuminate the sculptures on the back wall, except for the statue of Ptah, a god connected with the realm of the dead, who always remained in the dark (Cf., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Simbel).

On June 2nd (ONLINE via Zoom) we are pleased to welcome Professor Peter Brand, who will give a talk "Ramesses II and the Hittite Empire: War and Peace in the Late Bronze Age".

Ramesses II was both a great warrior and visionary statesman. For two decades he fought the Hittite Empire for control of Syria. Yet he also had the vision to make a lasting peace by concluding a treaty in his 21st regnal year. (1/3)
