Topic: Behdet


In the News (Tue 29 Dec 09)

  
  Horus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Instead, he was made the brother of Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys, as this was the only plausible level at which he could meaningfully rule over the sun, and over the Pharaoh's kingdom.
It was in this form that he was worshipped at Behdet as Har-Behedti (also abbreviated Bebti).
Since Horus had become more and more identified with the sun, since his identification as Ra, his identification as also the moon suffered, so it was possible for the rise of other moon gods, without complicating the system of belief too much.

 The Festifal of the Beautiful Reunion of Hathor and Horus at Edfu and Dendera
The burial ground of Behdet consisted of at least five different mounds within a sacred grove of trees.
After this, four geese were released to the four compass points with the message that Heru of Behdet had acquired the White Crown of Upper Egypt and the Red Crown of Lower Egypt.
The remaining three days of the Festival of Behdet were conducted more or less in the same way; there was a procession going out to the Sacred Grove and the Upper Temple where rites were performed, each day at a different burial mound until all had been attended to.

 Geography of Egypt and Mapping of the Sky
Behdet was the capital of Egypt in predynastic times.
Behdet had the advantage of being 7°30’ (1/12 of 90°) north of the southern limit of Egypt.
Parallel 45°12’N was identified with a line marking the northern shore of the Black Sea, the mouth of the Danube, the lower course of the Danube, the lower course of the Adige, the middle course of the Po up to its junction with the Ticino.

 Geography of Egypt and Mapping of the Sky
In mapping the sky and the Earth, the circumference was divided into 12 near-squares of 30° of longitude and 31° 30’ of latitude.
This is a point of latitutude 31°30’N on the main Axis of Egypt (31°14’E) called Behdet, “crown,”; Behdet was the capital of Egypt in predynastic times.
Even though the rods are of later periods, the text of the inscription is considered to have been drafted in the Old Kingdom because of its lingusitic style.

Behdet is to be read "He of Behdet", or "the solar Horus"; that is, the god's name is written by means of the name of his city." There is no 'Hadit' on the 'Stele of Revealing'.
Indeed, in subsequent translations of the Stele I've seen in OTO pubs, the word 'Behdet' is given with a little note indicating that perhaps this could be the word originally translated as 'Hadit'.
The hieroglyphs for the word, 'Behdet', are exactly the same here as for that found on the 'Stele of Revealing'.

 Ancient Egypt Magazine Issue Three - Temple of Horus at Edfu
It was dedicated to Horus of Behdet in commemoration of the fact that by this time the local falcon-god Horus had been identified with the Horus of a Delta town called Behdet.
To the north of the Pronaos is the twelve-columned “Great Hall” on the western side of which is the room known as the “Laboratory”, its walls decorated with the formulae for the preparation of the unguents and incense used in temple ceremonies.
The sanctuary is flanked on its north, west, and east sides by thirteen smaller rooms, the “guest bedrooms” and storage chambers, the most important of which, the “Harpoon Room” lies immediately behind the sanctuary on the central axis of the temple and once contained statues of Horus and his consort Hathor, and two sacred lances.

 City of the Silent - Glossary of Symbols   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The identity of the Egyptian sun god is difficult to trace: sometimes it is Re, sometimes it is Aten.
This emblem, which first appeared at shrines at Behdet in the Nile Delta, originally represented Horus; stone masons and temple artists borrowed the motif for temples, shrines, tombs, and stelae.
The revivers doubtless associated the Horus of Behdet with the renewing power of the Sun and its power to restore the dead to life in the hereafter.

For a better understanding by new players, I decided to play Behdet a more classic way, however with the nuances that are always mine, like forcing the blessings and working on a millimetric first year.
Debt: you can play Behdet without going into debt at Very Hard, but it is then better to work first on papyrus, importing reeds.
Conclusion: when interested in a score, playing an extreme Behdet is irrelevant.

 The Sirius Mystery by James Oberg
This proves that geodetic surveys of immense accuracy were thus practiced in ancient Egypt with a knowledge of the earth as a spherical body in space and projections upon it envisaged as part of… the Sirius lore."
Another claim: that in Egypt the oasis of Siwa and the ancient Nile City of Thebes are both equidistant from the shrine city of Behdet, in the delta -- and the same exact distance, too.
Precise maps at the NASA space photo interpretation lab in Houston list "Behdet" as an ancient name for modern Damanhur, located today at 31.03 degN, 30.28 degE, i.e., more than a hundred kilometers away from where Temple locates his "Behdet" at 31.50 degN, 31.23 degE.
