If Sun as a juvenile is balancing on the beam of Libra, and if a standing Ram god follows immediately to the right, then the time of the year should be spring equinox (in the era when Aries had this position):  At this time of the year digging the earth in order to plant a new crop should be his habit (Sun in Aries). Libra is 6 months away from Aries, but south of the equator it is spring equinox. Khnum was located far south in Upper Egypt (where 'up' meant south and 'down' meant north), at the source of the Nile (not literally of course) from where water flowed. I.e., when Sun was balancing on Libra the flood of water should begin to flow high up in the southern region of Egypt. The Ram god should stand in the south, and for the moment I can see no reason why his representative planet should not be Mars. Summer was (covered) over north of the equator. But who is then standing on the back of Capricorn (if it is not Mars)? |
