... Menkaure was allegedly a much more
benevolent Pharaoh than his predecessors. According
to legends related by Herodotus, he wrote the
following: This Prince (Mycerinus)
disapproved of the conduct of his father, reopened
the temples and allowed the people, who were ground
down to the lowest point of misery, to return to
their occupations and to resume the practice of
sacrifice. His justice in the decision of causes was
beyond that of all the former kings. The Egyptians
praise him in this respect more highly than any
other monarchs, declaring that he not only gave his
judgements with fairness, but also, when anyone was
dissatisfied with his sentence, made compensation to
him out of his own purse and thus pacified his
anger. The Gods however ordained that Egypt should
suffer tyrannical rulers for a hundred and fifty
years according to this legend. Herodotus goes on:
An oracle reached him from the town of Buto,
which said 'six years only shalt thou live upon this
earth, and in the seventh thou shalt end thy days'.
Mycerinus, indignant, sent an angry message
to the oracle, reproaching the god with his
injustice - 'My father and uncle,' he said 'though
they shut up the temples, took no thought of the
gods and destroyed multitudes of men, nevertheless
enjoyed a long life; I, who am pious, am to die
soon!' There came in reply a second message from the
oracle - 'for this very reason is thy life brought
so quickly to a close - thou hast not done as it
behoved thee. Egypt was fated to suffer affliction
one hundred and fifty years - the two kings who
preceded thee upon the throne understood this - thou
hast not understood it'. Mycerinus, when this
answer reached him, perceiving that his doom was
fixed, had lamps prepared, which he lighted every
day at eventime, and feasted and enjoyed himself
unceasingly both day and night, moving about in the
marsh-country and the woods, and visiting all the
places he heard were agreeable sojourns. His wish
was to prove the oracle false, by turning night into
days and so living twelve years in the space of six

... Am häufigsten
tritt das Zeichen 200 [GD15, tagata] auf. Es gibt
eine stehende Menschenfigur wieder, deren Enface-Kopf
mit dreieckig oder schleifenförmig stilisierten Ohren
dargestellt wird. Diese Gestalt mit dem Lautwert
'tangata' ist der Gundtyp fûr den Mann und für
den Menschen schlechthin. Einzeln und zu mehreren,
vereint mit geometrischen und zoomorphen Formen, ist das
Zeichen auf allen Tafeln in zahlreichen Kombinationen
belegt.
I think Barthel is confused here,
because although what is illustrated indeed probably is
the figure of a man, that does not necessarily imply
that the meaning is 'a man' or 'mankind'. As we have
seen the sun himself was depicted by GD15 at noon. Often
gods are imagined as looking as we do, but that may be
because artists must use some familiar form to get their
expressions understood. Artists certainly are aware of
this fact, but the rest of the people tend to be
deceived into thinking that what they see really is a
picture of god. From this we can understand that in some
cultures it is forbidden to make pictures of god.
As to 'schleifenförmig' (a word the
meaning of which I had to check in my dictionary) the
English language has two synonyms: 'in form of a loop'
and 'in form of an eye'. It is interesting to find that
loop-holes and eyes are so close together in our minds.
The Polynesians associated 'eye' with 'sun' and
therefore put wooden plugs into their earlobes.
Das begriffliche
Gegenstück bildet der Zeichentyp 530 [see below]. Bei
ihm wird nur das eine Ohr wiedergegeben, während fûr das
andere drei kurze Parallelstriche eintreten.
Metoro
erklärt mehrere Vorkommen auf der Tafel 'Tahua'
mit 'ahine poopouo', und Jaussen übersetzt in
seiner Liste 'vie poko pouo' als 'femme coiffée'.
Eine Ähnlichkeit mit dem geflochtenen Frauenhut
ist jedoch nicht zu entdecken. Stattdessen dürften sich
die graphischen Besonderheiten auf eine bestimmte über
das Ohr reichende Haartracht beziehen. Tatsächlich
trugen auf der Osterinsel die Frauen tief in den Nacken
fallendes Haar. Der Haarschopf scheint demnach den
zugehörigen Körper als weiblich charakterisiert zu
haben."
