Solar eclipse and calendar calculation

The Horus Falcon Names of the Egyptian Kings

The Horus Falcon Names are a Calendar of Kings: The calendar begins on December 25, 3117 B.C. (astronomically -3116).

(Reference article Andis Kaulins )

1.Andis Kaulin says that the interpretation of the names of Egyptian kings has been a point of dispute among Egyptologists for quite some time. The discovery that the Horus falcon marked heaven’s celestial pole in predynastic Egypt shows that the Horus names of the Egyptian kings were astronomical in nature. These names of kings were written below the falcon in the serekh and claimed certain heavenly stellar regions as realms for the king. These heavenly regions basically correspond to the modern Zodiac in principle. The Horus names were therefore a type of calendar of kings. Using that calendar, one can determine the reigns of the early Pharaonic kings astronomically.

2. The Horus Falcon Name of Narmer: “Sovereign of the Pole”

Andis Kaulin states that the First Pharaonic Dynasty starts with Pharaoh Narmer (Nir-Mr), whose serekh (royal name enclosure) has also been found in present-day Israel. His research shows that at the beginning of the Pharaonic dynasties, Narmer was represented as “the king of the pole“.

3.Kaulin says that the Mesopotamian name of the pole star Mismar is possibly written out as Mis-Mar on the world-famous Narmer Palette in the hieroglyphs on the right side. Indeed, we read M-Z M-R. Could the name Nar-MER be related linguistically to the name Mis-MAR? The Narmer Palette is shown below. For the first time ever, this Palette is deciphered subsequently as the astronomy of the Pharaohs, who are uniting heaven and earth. Mainstream archaeology dates Narmer to approximately 3100 B.C. Similarly, research of Kaulins indicates that the first calendar of mankind started exactly on December 25, 3117 B.C. when a total solar eclipse was visible at sunrise at the winter solstice point, an incredible astronomical event. Narmer represents this event and date. According to Kaulins, this astronomical event is clearly documented on the Narmer Palette.

4.(Compare this above picture of Bull trampling figure of Narmer Palette with Buffalo trampling scene of Indus seal. Origin of this concept is the same in both civilizations (Egypt and Indus). But I am of the opinion that this buffalo figure coincides with Sagittarius (buffalo) and Scorpios (trampled victim) rather than Aquarius and Capricornus)

5.The middle part of the front side of the Narmer Palette shows the solar eclipse of December 25, 3117 B.C. Two lion-like animals, who symbolize the sun, are in battle. With their artistically formed overlong intertwined necks, they show the “O-Form“of the total solar eclipse.

6. The lowermost part of the front side of the Narmer Palette shows the exact location in the stars at which the solar eclipse took place. It occurred in the stars of Capricorn, near the star Deneb Algiedi. A bull hovers over the defeated enemy. On the oldest artifacts, such beaten enemies always mark the bygone years. The oldest known human symbols for the stars of Capricorn are all bull-like animals, indicating a common origin for this star symbol. The Chinese, for example, first marked Capricorn by a bull or ox, the Hindus had an antelope and the people of ancient Mesopotamia had an ibex, as also the NAR-mer related term NIRu, the yoke, for Capricorn.

7. Andis Kaulins is of the opinion that the three “world-calendars”, Maya, Pharaonic, and Hindu – whose start is today dated to -3100, -3113 and -3102 – all had the same common origin and that the date discrepancies are based on miscalculations made by scholars over the millennia

8. The Rear Side of the Narmer Palette

As we have seen, the front side of the Narmer Palette has an astronomical, calendric significance. What about the back side? The back side of the Narmer palette shows Narmer as the “King of the pole“vanquishing the solar eclipse. The God of Light defeats the God of Darkness. The solar eclipse is represented by Narmer’s dark enemy. Narmer is protected to the right by the falcon of heaven above. We read the graphic elements with the falcon as HR-M(r)DZ “God of Light“, as in the later Persian Ahura Mazda. The defeated enemy kneels before Narmer. This enemy is identified by the hieroglyphs as ANG(r)-MEN, i.e. “Angru Mainyu”, the later “Ahriman”, or the “God the Darkness“. These are the two opponents of the much later teachings of Zarathustra (Zoroaster). The back side of the Narmer Palette therefore shows the victory of light over the powers of the eclipse. Perhaps this was the origin of the later Persian cuneiform view that Capricorn was “the father of the light“.

9. The Sequence and Significance of the Horus Names of the early Pharaohs after Narmer are interpreted as “Heavenly Houses“.

The previous analysis puts us in a position to be able to read and understand the sequence and meaning of the mainstream Horus names of the early Pharaohs.Pharaoh means “big house” in Pharaonic language and the Pharaoh’s name should thus be understood to apply to a heavenly house. All Horus Names mark a particular stellar region of the heavens, which was assigned to each Pharaoh as his starry realm.

10.Calendar Reform was Long Overdue after 479 years

Andis Kaulin says that in Pharaonic year 480, at the time of Pharaoh Khasekhemwy in Egypt, the calendar – since Narmer’s establishment of that calendar – was a full 120 days in error. The seasons no longer agreed with actual time. A calendar-reform was sorely needed.

At the same time, the North Celestial Pole had moved by nearly 7 degrees in the heavens. This deviation of the civil calendar from the actual “heavenly“ calendar were surely clearly apparent to all and surely gave reason to doubt the heavenly falcon‘s supreme position. In other words, the inaccurate calendar in use gave rise to a calendric crisis between the godly falcon, Horus, and the usurper, Seth, represented in the heavens by desert peoples in Egypt as a dog-like animal, i.e. either a dog, hyena or a jackal.
