I like the flow on this thread, hope you don't mind if I add..

Ancient (& Egyptian) symbolism is represented in so many modern logos, it's everywhere.
Did humanity just stop being able to come up with new ideas or are they specifically based on tradition for a reason?
I'd like to think most of today's logos have been created to keep us buyers comfortable with recognised shapes but the hole goes deeper than that I'm sure.
There are plenty of large companies that don't use this kind of symbolism but others are blatant in their message, IMO.

Motor industry - eg; Chevrolet - wings (developed from the older logo as posted above)

Oil; BP - sun

Power; EDF - sun

Retail; Walmart - sun

Media; Time Warner - eye of horus

Communications; LG - eye

Sports; Addidas - pyramid

Insurance; USAA - pyramid & wings

Banking; HSBC - pyramids

Right through to government; South Africa - sun, wings, pyramids etc

the hypercube is a symbol of satanism.

the london olympic stadium has pyramids surrounding the arena with capstones that light up (illuminate)

Some great additions to this thread, Rewind and Darthmiike!

And like you Rewind, I have often wondered the same about keeping the symbolism of our ancient past thriving and alive today. As you have stated in your own words, I do not think it has to do with mankind running out of ideas. If that were the case perhaps hidden knowledge wouldn't be so 'hidden' and we would be encouraged to learn and understand such symbols and their original meanings. I feel as though they are being used in our faces by those with different intentions and those that understand what effects they will have on our collective psych.

Maybe the symbols harness power from us that feeds an unknown source, who knows.Maybe they are associated with deities or beings who that some desire to preserve their essence.. This is what I feel is going on. I don't know, I am still seeking answers myself.

That's interesting that Wikipedia have it as the left eye of Horus. When researching Ophiuchus, the links that I looked at stated that it was the right eye.

The right eye aspect correlates with Ophiuchus ...



... The star in the position of the 'right eye' of Ophiuchus is ... Alpha Serpentis (α Ser / α Serpentis) is a triple star - a trinity.



Serpens
Constellation on the celestial equator (see celestial sphere), represented as a serpent coiled around the body of Ophiuchus. It is the only constellation divided into two halves: Serpens Caput, the head (on one side of Ophiuchus), and Serpens Cauda, the tail (on the other side). Its main feature is the Eagle nebula.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This constellation is unique, for it is divided into two parts – Serpens Caput, the head, and Serpens Cauda, the tail. Nevertheless, astronomers regard it as a single constellation. Serpens represents a huge snake held by the constellation Ophiuchus. In his left hand Ophiuchus grasps the top half of the snake, while his right hand holds the tail. Aratus and Manilius agreed that Serpens was coiled around the body of Ophiuchus, but most star atlases show the snake simply passing between his legs (for an illustration of the full tableau, see Ophiuchus).

In mythology, Ophiuchus was identified as the healer Asclepius, son of Apollo, although why he appears to be wrestling with a serpent in the sky is not fully explained. His connection with snakes is attributed to the story that he once killed a snake that was miraculously restored to life by a herb placed on it by another snake. Asclepius subsequently used the same technique to revive dead people. Snakes are the symbol of rebirth because they shed their skins every year.

The star Alpha Serpentis is called Unukalhai from the Arabic meaning ‘the serpent’s neck’, where it is located. The tip of the serpent’s tail is marked by Theta Serpentis, called Alya, an Arabic word that actually refers to a sheep’s tail. The most celebrated object in Serpens is a star cluster called M16, embedded in a gas cloud called the Eagle Nebula, the subject of a famous photograph by the Hubble Space Telescope.

The pyramid with the 'all-seeing eye' above it has 13 'levels' or 'steps'.

Represented on the seal of the United States of America, there are 13 stars (13th star sign) above the head of the eagle (Eagle Nebula) holding 13 arrows in the left claw (Caput Draconis - the serpents head) and a branch with 13 leaves on a branch in the right claw (Cauda Draconis - the serpents tail).

Of course, the 13 aspect relates to Ophiuchus as the 13th astrological star sign ... or the 'hidden' star sign considering its non-use in astrology today.

Thanks for the link and info IAAIA.

Yep they love their mythology and constellations.

You're welcome.

This part from the second link you provided...

And the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live." Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.

www.davidicke.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1060632309&postcount=51

... is something that is included on the Ophiuchus thread I linked to for you ...


Moses interceded with God and was instructed:
"Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live"
(Numbers 21:8).

The term "seraph" has worried Biblical translators and commentators over the years. It is translated as "fiery serpent" in the King James version.

Dictionary: SERAPH n. one of the highest orders of angels.

.... and while it may well be a reference to Scorpio, it also relates to something I posted on the DI f back in 2007 ...



In 'The Secret in the Bible', by Tony Bushby, the 22 glyphs of the Hebrew alphabet are shown to be representations of the DNA strand.

"The only Holy Book

For thousnads of years, spiritual teachers of Jewish traditions claimed that the five major Hebrew texts making up the Torah were 'holy', of special significance, and of supernatural origin...and they were right. By producing an exact copy of the spiral shape of the Rainbow Serpent from plastic, brass, a strip of metal or a similar solid substance, its significance becomes apparent, and that item could be best described as 'light descended into matter'. It is the primary element of both the Book of Thoth and the Secret in the Bible and the precise twisty shape of the Rainbow Serpent provides the necessary form to physically demonstrate a major part of the Secret. When the plastic or metal reproduction of the Rainbow Serpent is slowly revolved, 22 different shaped shadows are cast from that one element, and those shapes directly make up the 22 seperate letters of the alphabet that the Torah was written in. Put in simplest terms, the alphabetin which the Torah of the Bible was originally and secretly written was one composed of a series of 22 cosmic glyphs that emanated with 'splendour and power in the form of a serpent' from a vertical spiral of light in the Benben on top of the Great Pyramid in Egypt. Evidence of that knowledge points directly at the undeniable input of a higher intelligence, a superior mind source."

-The Secret in the Bible, by Tony Bushby, page 256.

The "twisty shape of the Rainbow Serpent" is a similar description that is used 'The Cosmic Serpent', "language-twisting-twisting" and "twisted language", to describe the DNA by shamans.

Hi Novum, how do you think the Sumerian artifacts fit in to all this? The image below seems to be rather similar don't you think?

Maybe the Egypt connection isn't what's really being depicted in modern symbolism?

Frog wrote:
Yes, i think in an earlier link i posted about the sun disc, it mentions that these symbols go back to sumer.

I just figured its more recognised as egyptian symbolism because of the many depictions of pyramids tied into it, hence thread title.

novum wrote:
You could be right but the fact that the Sumerians get ignored for the most part seems strange to me - especially when they appear to be the original source. Another way of looking at that symbol is that the Babylon shaped base is a kind of pyramid shape with no cap and a nice big eye perched on top. I'm also not sure it represents the sun either because the sun Mars is shown further right. That may actually be a representation of a space craft or something.

Sure, if anyone has more to add, then please do.

Freemasonry first appeared in Egypt in around 1798, introduced by French Masons in Napoleon’s conquering armies. We do not know if Napoleon was a Freemason but he certainly used the Craft to befriend the people by first showing every respect for their religion and then mixing with them socially in an international brotherhood. He wasted no time in flooding the country with circulars about respecting the Moslem religion and in founding the Isis Lodge, into which several eminent people were initiated...The Great Pyramid of Cheops at Giza, which, to a Mason, is emblematic of the continuity of the craft of Freemasonry from the dawn of civilization in Egypt.. For Freemasons it is also a reminder of the legend that Egyptian civilization was founded by survivors from Atlantis...
