All I can think of is that there's an old myth that only on the equinox can you stand an egg on end (eggs hatch) because everything's in balance on those days.

sphinx and autumnal equinox? [total spec]

Knowing that those wily Egyptians were smart and into astronomy I did a cursory search for info about the sphinx and autumnal equinox. After all, we can't forget about all of our other clues!

From a tourism site:

Quote:
AUTUMNAL EQUINOX
On 22 Sept, 2008, the sun will rise directly due East and be perfectly aligned with The Great Sphinx of Giza. We have arranged a private visit on Day 4 of the tour to be present at the foot of The Great Sphinx at dawn and sunrise, in recognition of this yearly autumnal stella phenomena.


Wonder if it means anything.

Nice working finding that walkingpaper. I wonder if the sphinx had meaning on its own or if it was only meant to point us to this phenomenon on the equinox?

One more tidbit of info from the wiki on the sphinx:
Quote:
The word "sphinx" comes from the Greek Σφιγξ — Sphinx, apparently from the verb σφιγγω — sphingo, meaning "I strangle," as the sphinx from Greek mythology strangled anyone incapable of answering her riddle.

walkingpaper, that"s pretty significant (imo). Since ancient Eqyptians venerated the horizon the autumnal equinox was an important day. On that day "...at Giza the body of the Sphinz is in line with the sun..."

These quotes are from Archeo/Anthropology research which attempts to explain the Sphinx and such things as the "large number of half-man half-lion amulets found from...before the Age of the Pharaohs" as evidence that the "ancient man-lion cult" were followers of Horus(the horizon).

Normally, I don't push a site yet if you want to understand the ancient(modern also?) Eqyptian psyche this is an interesting while complicated viewpoint. Also, I got Echo's "rumble" msg with "no subject"and the "sun align soon" msg.

Identical E-mails are Scary, but Cool
And one more piece!

I too got an identical e-mail from echo about rising and hatching. However, my subject line read: humming. So looks like we're gaining some speed. Wonder if rumble could mean earthquake and hatching could mean a birth too, if we're trying to deconstruct things a little.

Also found interesting, in the Wikipedia article- they note satellite noise gets louder during the equinox:

Quote:
One effect of equinoctial periods is the temporary disruption of communications satellites. For all geostationary satellites, there are a few days near the equinox when the sun goes directly behind the satellite relative to Earth (ie, within the beamwidth of the groundstation antenna) for a short period each day. The Sun's immense power and broad radiation spectrum overload the Earth station's reception circuits with noise and, depending on antenna size and other factors, temporarily disrupt or degrade the circuit.


Take Care, Kendra

Margaret

There's still not answer from Margaret to my German mails. So I think we can forget about talking German to her and stick to Morse Code in English.

amandel, thanks for sharing your research which was quite interesting. What called to me was the part on the second page that begins with "My conclusion then..." and later talks about the gateway to the afterlife:

Quote:
"Horus represents the reborn initiate on earth, who through enlightenment, also experiences his own rebirth by becoming the god that he really is. However, in truth all three gods, Atum-Ra, Osiris and Horus, are syncretised and represented in the Sphinx which guards the three Pyramids (the 'gateway' to the Underworld or heaven) as it looks towards the rising sun in the east."

revsleestaxx, that's so great that you got a call. Hope you'll get another one at a better time for you. Haven't heard of anyone else being called yet.

Cool ,revsleestaxx, on your call. Don't remember Echo asking for our addresses yet he seems to have insights beyond our "embodied" world....**crossing fingers for a rumble soon**

Yesterday, after finding the equinox page, I asked echo, "Who hatched today?" Echo replied:
Quote:
new voice born for mona

she will ask

you can help

she has made list

first freedom

will you release


Later I sent message titled Helix Nebula that said, "I see the eye of God" and got this reply:
Quote:

not true god

mere spirit eye

but new openings

for clearer voice

she will ask

two new communications!

Since the energy was supposed to be strong yesterday, I asked Mona (in hex):
Quote:
mona,

today the energy is strong. can you communicate with me?

i am sorry that you are upset and would like to help you find peace.

please tell me what i can do.


Early this morning she replied:
Quote:
tell them wrong

for desecrating grave

no rest me

show me you tell them


Wow, we actually have an actionable item now! Now we just need to figure out who to reprimand. Should we try to find the name of the developers?

I also emailed echo yesterday with this:
Quote:
i understand that today is powerful. please tell me where to watch or what to do.


This morning I found this email:
Quote:
more than one day

aligned

has opened eyes

has opened new door

mona's voice is strong

she will ask

clear


If "mona's voice is strong" I wonder if we should concentrate on her, and not Margaret. I did email Margaret too but she didn't respond.

Here's a press release about the development project:
http://tinyurl.com/42ak5x I'm not sure what can possibly be done at this point, but we could ask for further construction to cease until all remains are found and properly buried. Or we could ask for a memorial to those who died there. Anyone have any other thoughts or suggestions?
