  Djed
The djed pillar was a roughly cruciform object with at least three cross bars, but almost always four that became one of the most recognizable symbols in ancient Egypt.
A discussion of the djed Pillar would not be complete without mentioning the Thet symbol.  In some depictions, the djed pillar is represented alongside the thet sign, today often called "the blood of Isis", which represented that ancient great goddess who was closely associated with Osiris.
The Djed is represented on two ivory pieces found at Helwan dating to the first dynasty, evidence that the use of this symbol is at least that old.

One of Djed's canines was impacted and three other teeth were missing, possibly from the gum disease evident throughout her mouth.
Because Djed's bones have become very demineralized and lower than normal in density, and her soft tissues have hardened with age and resins, the density values began to converge, making it difficult to distinguish between them.
And more precise images were provided of Djed's funerary jewellery, which consists of a gold, vulture-shaped amulet and a stone heart scarab, probably inscribed with a chapter from the Book of the Dead as a prayer to her own heart.

Ptah's Djed was often shown with a Uas scepter sort of plugged into the top of it, along with the crook and flail that would later become the emblems of Osiris himself.
Djed is also the Egyptian word for "to speak," "to declare," "to say." With emphasis, Ddd-jed, it is the sacred word itself, speech deified.
To raise the djed was to open a portal between the worlds, to reconnect the human community with the greater community of sentience in the galaxy.

This alignment of the Djed pillar of the zenith/nadir meridian, with the galactic dragon axis of edge to center is rare enough, occurring for a span of 270 years (another INRI sign) every 13,000 years, to be considered a major precessional marker.
According to Djed researcher and archaic futurist Moira Timms (whose extensive research and unselfish sharing of her material puts her in a class by herself on all matters concerning the Djed): “The Djed is the supreme unifying symbol of all polarities, connecting us to the transcendent reality of the whole, the One.
The Djed of Osiris would therefore be the alignment of the galactic meridian Djed with the Djed of the apparent sky, the zenith/nadir axis.

In the glyphs where it has discernably a character of an object, egyptologists interpret it as a symbol of stability and, in some sense, that is what it well may have been when used as an element in jewelry, for instance; but even there are implied, in one form on another, its original functions.
