TRILINGUAL DECREE OF CANOPUS.





SALMINA
KYPROS
CYPRUS

THE TRI-LINGUAL DECREE OF CANOPUS 

On page 38 of the "History of Cyprus" by George Hill, we read about the confusion that exists between scholars regarding the meaning and origin of the name Cyprus. Hill starts his consideration of the problem, not with the very early texts, but with a passage in the tri-lingual Decree of Canopus, dated 238 B.C. where the island we know as Cyprus today, is referred to as Kyprios in the Greek, which is equated to Salmina in the demotic and Aseby in the hieroglyphic. In other words all three names are referring to the island that we now call Cyprus but no clues as to their etymology or meaning.
I posit that all three names are an expression of the same fundamental concept, which is a synthesis to the creative power. A 'monagraph' if you like that affirms and expresses a unique, autochthonous, singular, metaphysical idea/entity. 

 All three, Asy or Aseby, Salmina and Kypros I say refer to one and the same fundamental concept, expressed in three different languages, at three different periods in history.
My intention is to show that each of the three names for Cyprus over time, expressed the same product/idea, to define in word an “absolute reality" expressed as a tri-unity as a tri-literal, the cause of unity of the above with below, the Sacred Whole. 

 To elaborate further, the three names describe the same concept, which I believe to be the governing principal of life, the essence, the medium, or the OneAll spirit of life. A word describing the creative work of god, the creative active spirit, the 'stone of the philosophers' if you like.The god particle, or the HYPOSTASIS of the cause, the mystery of Life.
In Orphic symbolism, the triad represented 'being,' life and  intelligence. The male, female and the uniting intelligence,is the‘hieros gamos’, love. 
In Christianity it is the father, son and the Holy Ghost. 

 In Alchemy KPR represents the salt, the mercury and the sulfur united. 
Since there is only 'One truth’ with an infinite number of angles to see it from and since that truth in word IS god, the truth bearer, It follows that if all three names on the decree alluded to the same truth/god, as the fundamental reality, then it must have been thought to be an expression of the divine, the cause, the creator, the deity “par excellence”, thus esoteric.

 There are many trinities, or threefold goddesses or triliteral god names, especially in Semitic, Greek and Celtic languages. A triliteral or tri-consonantal, is a word which at root contains a sequence of three consonants. 

 KPR is a tri-consonantal root word (k-b-r) and so is CaBiR, which is said to translate from both Hebrew and Arabic as ‘The All Mighty’.
Whether or not a word can be divided into each available morpheme is always debated. Some morphologists decompose the words completely; others only decompose what there is evidence to decompose in the modern use of that word. I decompose the word representing an ancient place name completely.

As a rule the Semitic languages are characterized by a sequence of consonants. The consonantal roots are what I work with when researching the formation of ancient names which were originally made up of a string of signs or letters. Adding the vowels and non-root consonants generally follow specific patterns. In both Greek and Semitic linguistics, most of these consonantal roots are triliterals. In linguistics a logogram, or logograph is a grapheme which represents an Idea as does a morpheme is the smallest meaningful unit of that makes up a word. Logograms are also commonly known as "ideograms" or "hieroglyphs". Strictly speaking, ideograms represent ideas directly.

The first name that is agreed to refer to Cyprus was put down in Hieroglyphs by the Egyptian scribes on the trilingual is sounded alternatly as ASEBY or ALASY. Early inscriptions from the time of Thutmose III (1501-1447) indicate that the land of Aseby/Cyprus was in a state of subjection or vassalage to Egypt. There is one other Ptolemaic document, that confirms Aseby as Cyprus and it reads, “the island of Aseby” with an accompanying text that speaks of “Asiatic copper of the island of Kufrus.”

It is now agreed that the reading of the above Hieroglyph could be Aseby or Asy (the walking drumsticks above are read as S or SEB).
The above is a trigram with a determinant designed to express an aspects of reality, following the Egyptian symbolic tradition of expression, it is the symbol or sign on the very right that looks like a ‘W’ is the determinant, which signified that the word or idea expressed is a place name in the midst of the sea. 

The following is what Professor Glanville said regarding Egyptian phonology Asy and the second element. “It indicates certainly two things: (1) ‘s’ in the stem, and (2)’b’ as the idea of motion. The‘b’ is frequently left out of the spelling and there are philological arguments which suggest that the sign by itself did not carry a ‘b’ with it, but was read ss”.

The second pictogram, phoneme 'S' ‘Ss’ or ‘Sh’ represents the in between principal which is constantly moving as does the mean, or the clock that tells the time or marks the path of the equatorial real sun; the something that brings together or focuses the collective mind, unites one and all. It is like the cupids arrow that stings the heart of one and all with love thats blind. The ever present proactive medium between the single the one feather and the double that takes us to the understanding of multyplicity. This flowing phoneme S, SS or Sh represents the principal that is the cause of both division and unity simultaniously. It is the central point of equilibrium. The Three pictograms as One, phoneme ‘Asy’ represent ‘Absolute Unity’ the creative power; limitless light; sanctifying intelligence; having overcome duality; process; synthesis; the All; the triad as the whole in as much as it contains a beginning a middle and an end; the metaphysical or abstract representation of the concept of the “Two AS One” or One as Two. The monad, the indestructible non-spacial element that is regarded as the basis for all reality, the tripartite nature of the world, in man, as body, soul and spirit; birth, life and death, past present future. Salt sulphur and mercury. The ternary can be divided into duality and unity of which it is the sum, just as is symbolized by the trigram k-p-r, the Egyptian Cobra and Kheper that introduce us to the godhead, sun, moon and earth; father, mother, son or daughter, about which I will elaborate further when I get to Kypros of the trilingual, the other name for Cyprus, the “Thrice Happy Isle” Kypris the “queen of the three worlds.
The first pictogram, a single feather, phoneme ‘Ai’  represented the idea of the primordial beginning; the first mover; the sum of all possibilities; the cause: essence; the indivisible; the center; the goddess Maat as truth. Osiris weighed the human soul against the feather of truth. The solar deity Amen Ra and most of the deities in Egypt were represented by a feather all had the power of One, the monos. The principal that gives rise to duality thence to multiplicity and back to final unity.
The third pictogram, phoneme ‘Ya,’ the two feathers together, represent the principal of duality, the dyad; light; ether; the two poles; the power of two. The ‘Ya’ also represented the principal or spirit of generation and regeneration.

The second pictograph, flowing phoneme, 'S' ‘Ss’ or ‘Sh’ represents the in between principal which is constantly moving as does the mean, or the clock that tells the time. The ever present proactive medium between the single feather and the double. S, SS or Sh represents the principal that is the cause of both division and unity simultaneously. It is the central point of equilibrium. The Three pictographs as One, sound out ‘Aseby’ represent a compound, an Absolute Unity, the creative created power having overcome duality n the process; a synthesis; a transformation, a transmutation; the triad as the whole in as much as it contains a beginning a middle and an end; the metaphysical or abstract representation of the concept of the “Two SEB One” or One seb Two. 

The monad, the indestructible non-spacial element that is regarded as the basis for all reality, the tripartite nature of the world, in man, as body, soul and spirit; birth, life and death, past present future. Salt sulphur and mercury. The ternary can be divided into duality and unity of which it is the sum, just as is symbolized by the trigram k-p-r, the Egyptian Cobra and Kheper both root KBR/CBR both introducing us to the godhead, sun, moon and earth; father, mother, son or daughter.

Kypros/Cyprus, the “Thrice Happy Isle” 

Kypris the “queen of the three worlds.




The word ace comes from Latin as "a unit," from the name of a small Roman coin, meaning 'a unit', perhaps originally Etruscan and related to the original Greek. eis "one." French as, from Latin as, assis, can mean unity, copper coin, the unit of coinage, a single point or spot. Ace is also the name for a very small quantity or degree; a particle; an atom; a jot. Ace also refers to among other things the side of the die with only one mark before the playing cards came along. 
The symbol As. in Alchemy and Chemistry has been the mark for the grey metal Arsenic, a high percentage of which element is found in the Cypriot Copper ore, which made the resultant metal, after smelting, a cheap bronze. This was the material and measure the Romans used as their basic unit, a coin. This they called AES, it fundamentally symbolized the unity, the unity that is of the “Agora,” the common denominator of the marketplace.

If my memory serves me right, way back when, there was a ferryman to take us across the river, the river separating death from life and we were obliged to cross his palm with a unitary coin, without the coin we were doomed. It is possible the both the river and the coin has the same root S. S as phoneme and symbol at root, seems to be the active principal dividing and or uniting polar opposites. The cause, which separates and connects. Between the two as in between the Yin and yang.

AES/AS, the Wiki says that in Roman times, it was known as aes Cyprium, aes being the generic Latin term for copper based alloys or compounds. In the Roman era, copper was principally mined on Cyprus, hence it is thought that the origin of the name of the metal comes from as сyprium (metal of Cyprus), later as was dropped and the name shortened to сuprum. Compounds of copper are commonly encountered and referred to today as copper(II) salts, which often impart blue or green colors to minerals and have been widely used historically as pigments.

In Greece, copper was known by the name chalkos(χαλκός). We still dont know what the Cypriot name for the metal was. In Roman times, it was known as aes Cyprium, aes being the generic Latin term for copper and its alloys and Cyprium one assumes because it was from Cyprus, where much copper was mined. The phrase was over time simplified to cuprum, hence the English word copper. Aphrodite and Venus represented copper in mythology and alchemy, its association with Cyprus, which was sacred to the goddess. The seven heavenly bodies known to the ancients were associated with the seven metals known in antiquity, and Venus not necessarily Aphrodite was assigned to copper.

Asy is the place of political asylum, as is a community card in a game, it can be a part of any player's hand. as in a place of asylum.

In 1450 B.C. a Hittite Palace revolution, got the 2 brothers of the King, sent to Cyprus on Asylum. The catch is that Cyprus at the time was known as ASY, in Heiroglyph, no less. The word is said to comes from Greek asulon, "refuge," from asulos, "inviolable."

ASY is an inviolable place of refuge and protection, protection from arrest and extradition given especially to political refugees by a nation or by an embassy or other agency enjoying diplomatic immunity.


Historically, the ace had the lowest value and this still holds in many popular European games (in fact most European decks, including the French Tarot Nouveau, do not use the "A" index, instead keeping the numeral "1"). However many games, such as pokerand blackjack, allow the player to choose whether the ace is used as a high or low card. This duality allows players in some other games to use it as both at once; some variants of Rummyallow players to form groups, or "melds", of rank K-A-2 or similar. This is known colloquially as "going around the corner".

The saying regarding aces and eights around which there is a lot of confusion, I believe should been derived from the 7-card stud game with the full deck.

In seven-card games, a strict specification of aces and eights exists. Among seven-card hands, as a any with two aces, two eights, and three cards with one other rank in common always provides both two pair and a full house, so a competent player would always set aside the eights and declare the full house; most players would probably thus not consider it a dead man's hand, any more than they would so consider a full house with aces and eights. My point is, given that the 8 is the number that represents the cause of the eternal, infinite, infinity, From 1to7 plus one, 8 represents the cyclicality of 7, like days of week, in notation from Do to Do to Do. So when going for a run in a 7-card stud game, the saying aces and eights takes on a whole new meaning for me.

Derived terms are, a hole in one and the one to peruse further is the saying aces and eights. Ace in the hole, in a card game is referring to the optimum "hole card" being an ace. By extension ace is Something held in reserve, or concealed, until it is useful or a card available for use by all players. A shared card or place.

Aces High/Low: Is the general order of cards is 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack (J), Queen (Q), King (K). In some games the Ace (A) is counted less than 2 (Aces Low) while in other games an Ace is counted above the King (Aces High). Don’t take me to the brilliant TAURRRUAT.











SALMINA is the next name referring to the island of Cyprus on Ptolemy’s trilingual and it appears in the demotic. I would like to take you directly to a reference from Robert Graves in the “White Goddess” that should satisfy that Salmina like Asy and Kypros is again the monad, the indestructible non-spacial element that is regarded as the basis for all reality, expressed as a tetragram, or a tetralingual. That it is simply the affirmation of the concept of eternal life, exoterically expressed by the daily and annual rebirth of the sun, which is obviously eastern in origin. 

Graves referring to the position of the letters “S” which follows the letter F, of the spring equinox, the month when the sun has risen above the horizon, as the dawn of the annual cycle, states the following:

The phoneme ‘Sa’ in the Mycenaean was represented by the sign of the Anke. A circle on a Tau.

“There were several places named after her in the Eastern Mediterranean including Cape Salmone in Crete, the city of Salmone in Elis, and Salmone, a village near Lusi. The tide is apparent compounded of Salma and One as in Hesi-one. Hesione is said to mean 'Lady of Asia', and the meaning of Salma can be deduced from its occurrence in geographical names. It is an Aegean word of extraordinarily wide distribution and seems always to be connected with the notion of easterliness. Salma was a tribe in Southern Judaea living east of the Minoan colony of Gaza; also a station in Central Arabia on the caravan route from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf. 

Salmalassus was a station in Lesser Armenia on the caravan route from Trebizond to the Far East; Salmydessus was the most easterly city of Thrace, fronting the Black Sea; Salmone was the most easterly cape of Crete; Salamis the most easterly city of Cyprus; the island of Salamis lay east of the Cretan city of Corinth, and the mountain sacred to Salamanes (in Assyrian Salmanu) lay east of the great river-plain behind Antioch. As has already been pointed out Salma became a divine name in Palestine and Solomon, Salmon and Absalom are all variants of it, Salma was the deity to whom the hill of Jerusalem was originally sacred; the place is mentioned in the Egyptian Tell Amarna letters (1370 B.C.) as Uru-Salim, and in Assyrian monuments as Ur-Salimu. In 1400 B.C. it was held by a chieftain with the Semite name of Abd-Khiba, a vassal of Egypt, who like Melchizedek of Salem—Uru-Salim?—claimed to rule neither by father-right nor mother-right, but by the will of the God. Professor Sayce translates Uru-Salim as 'City of the God Salim'. Josephus records that the first name of the city was Solyma. Salma, or Salim, was evidently the Semite god of the rising or renewed sun; Salmaone was the Aegean goddess from whom he took his titles, as did Salmoneus the Aeolian who opposed the later Achaean invaders and insisted on inducing thunder by rattling a brazen chariot—thereby infringing the prerogative of Olympian Zeus. But it is probable that Salma took his title as the demi-god of the renewed Sun from his Moon-bride Circe, or Belili, the Willow Mother, Sal-Ma, in whose honour willow-branches were waved at this season, and that the meaning of easterliness is a secondary one.” Salla, Wave, Shimmer, Shimmy.

As for the letter S, Straif, a main verb is called for, says Graves, that is to begin the second flight of letters into spring. Strebloein, or strabloein,formed from the verbal root streph, 'to twist', means 'to reeve with a windlass, to wrench, dislocate, put on the rack', and gives Straif, the blackthorn, its necessarily cruel connotation.”

The verb I would like to offer to replace the suggestion of ‘twist’ for you to consider is inspired from the Arabic/Turkish and that is ‘salla’which translated as shine, shimmer and shimmy or dance like the King Cobra, (again the root k-b-r) as they start the day or season by pulling the sun around its cycle.

The following supportive information on Sal from Wikipedia takes us as far back asthe Neolithic to the concept of a solar barge, the sun in its cyclical path, as traversing the sky in a boat. This concept is found in the later myths of ancient Egypt, with Ra and Horus. The Proto-Indo-European religion has a solar chariot, instead of a boat where the sun is traversing the sky in a chariot.

During the Roman Empire, a festival of the birth of the Unconquered Sun (or Dies Natalis Solis Invicti) was celebrated on the winter solstice — the "rebirth" of the sun. In Germanic mythology this is Sol, in Vedic Surya, and in Greek Helios (occasionally referred to as Titan) and (sometimes) as Apollo. Mesopotamian Shamash plays an important role during the Bronze Age, and "my Sun" is eventually used as an address to royalty. Similarly, South American Svarog is the Slavic god sun and the spirit of fire.

The sun god in Hinduism again a charioteer of Surya is Aruna, Surya who is personified as the redness that accompanies the sunlight in dawn and dusk is driven by a seven-horsed Chariot depicting the seven days of the week.

The sun was a major aspect of Egyptian symbols and hieroglyphs, all the lunar deities of that pantheon were male deities. The cobra (of Pharaoh Son of Ra), the lioness (daughter of Ra), the cow (daughter of Ra), the dominant symbols of the most ancient Egyptian deities, carried their relationship to the sun atop their heads; they were female and their cults remained active throughout the history of the culture. The dualism of sun/male/light and moon/female/darkness is found in many (but not all) late southern traditions in Europe that derive from Orphic and Gnostic philosophies. In Germanic mythology the Sun is female and the Moon is male. The corresponding Old English name is Siȝel[ˈsɪjel], continuing Proto-Germanic *Sôwilô or *Saewelô. The Old High German Sun goddess is Sunna. In the Norse traditions, every day, Sól rode through the sky on her chariot, pulled by two horses named Arvak and Alsvid. Sól also was called Sunna, Sunne, and Frau Sunne, from which are derived the words, sun and Sunday.

In Theosophy the primary deity is the Solar Logos, "the consciousness of the sun".

The Solar myths exercised great influence on nineteenth and early twentieth century mythography. The other theories besides the Solar are the Tree worship of Mannhardt and the Totemism of J. F. McLennan, the "Sun myth" are of Alvin Boyd Kuhn and Max Müller.

A "sun chariot" is a mythological representation of the sun riding in a chariot. The concept is younger than that of the solar barge, and typically Indo-European, corresponding with the Indo-European expansion after the invention of the chariot in the 2nd millennium BC. Examples include:

The twin Cobras, The Barge,The Scarab, The Chariot, The Quadriga, The Surya. Sun chariot of the Nordic deity, Sól, drawn by Arvak and Alsvid.

This Serpent Solar Disk is often seen on Egyptian monuments SOS (the sun with, with serpent on either side). Letters of the ancient alphabet were keys unlocking the original causation in manifestation of all things. The S.S. or the Z.Z, symbolically used are interchangable.

The double 'S.S.' is found on the sacramental cups of the Church and mean the presence of the Holy Ghost.

Greek Helios riding in a chariot, (see also Phaëton) Sol Invictus depicted riding a quadriga on the reverse of a Roman coin. Vedic Surya riding in a chariot drawn by seven horses. The dualism of sun/male/light and moon/female/darkness is found in many late southern traditions in Europe that derive from Orphic and Gnostic philosophies.

Having tackled SAL, let us take a close look at MINA, or is it AMIN or OMEN or AMEN. Amin is the word in Arabic for the English word for amen / ɑːˈmɛn/ or /ˌeɪˈmɛn/; Hebrew: אָמֵן, Modern Amen Tiberian ʾĀmēn; Greek: ἀμήν; Arabic: آمين‎,ʾĀmīn ; "So be it; truly") is a declaration of affirmation. Common English translations of the word amen include "verily" and "truly". It can also be used colloquially to express strong agreement, as in, for instance, amen to that. The Oxford English Dictionary gives "eɪ'mεn, often ɑː'mɛn". Amen, meaning "so be it", is of Hebrew origin. The word was imported into the Greek of the early Church from Judaism. From Greek, amen entered the other Western languages. According to a standard dictionary etymology, amenpassed from Greek into Late Latin, and thence into English.

Popular among some theosophists, proponents of Afro-centric theories of history, and adherents of esoteric Christianity is the conjecture that amen is a derivative of the name of the (Egyptian god) Amun (which is sometimes also spelled Amen, Amin in Egyptiam). Some adherents of Eastern religions believe that amen shares roots with the Hindu Sanskrit word, Aum.

The Armenian word ամեն /ɑːmˈɛn/ means "everyone/all,"  however it is also used in the same form at the conclusion of prayers, much as in English. The word Amen occurs very frequently in early Christian inscriptions. The Greek letters which form Amen according to their numerical values total 99 (alpha=1, mu=40, epsilon=8, nu=50), this number often appears in inscriptions, especially of Egyptian origin. a mysterious, magical efficacy seems to have been attributed to the symbol.

As we know “Amen”is still employed in the ritual Christians, Jews and Mohammedans. The Hebrew word amen derives from the same ancient triliteral Hebrew root as does the verb ʾāmán. Grammarians frequently list ʾāmán under its three consonants (aleph-mem-nun), which are identical to those of ʾāmēn (note that the Hebrew letterא alephoriginally represented a glottal stop sound, which functioned as a consonant in the morphology of Hebrew). This triliteral root means to be firm, confirmed, reliable, and faithful, have faith, believe.In other words it is an affirmation.

Amun, reconstructed Egyptian Yamānu (also spelled Amon, Amoun, Amen, and rarely Imen or Yamun, Greek Ἄμμων" Ammon, and Ἅμμων Hammon, was a god in Egyptian mythology who in the form of Amun-Ra became the focus of the most complex system of theology in Ancient Egypt. Whilst remaining hypostatic, Amun represented the essential and hidden, whilst in Ra he represented revealed divinity.

Amun was self created, and the creator deity "par excellence", as was Kheper root K-p-r, without mother and father, auotochthonous, and during the New Kingdom he became the greatest expression of transcendental deity in Egyptian theology. His position as King of Gods developed to the point of virtual monotheism where other gods became manifestations of him. With Osiris, Amun-Ra is the most widely recorded of the Egyptian gods. He was also widely worshipped in the neighboring regions of Ancient Libya and Nubia. Several words derive from Amun via the Greek form, Ammon: ammonia and ammonite. The Romans called the ammonium chloride they collected from deposits near the Temple of Jupiter Amun in ancient Libya sal ammoniacus (salt of Amun). When the army of the founder of the Eighteenth dynasty expelled the Hyksos rulers from Egypt, the victor's city of origin, Thebes, became the most important city in Egypt, the capital of a new dynasty. The local patron deity of Thebes, Amun, therefore became nationally important. The pharaohs of that new dynasty attributed all their successful enterprises to Amun and they lavished much of their wealth and captured spoil on the construction of temples dedicated to Amun.

Amun became identified with the chief deity who was worshipped in other areas during that period, the sun god Ra. This identification led to another merger of identities, with Amun becoming Amun-Ra. In the Hymn to Amun-Ra he is described as "Lord of truth, father of the gods, maker of men, creator of all animals, Lord of things that are, creator of the staff of life."

Ammon had a temple and a statue, the gift of Pindar, at Thebes, and another at Sparta, the inhabitants of which, as Pausanias says, consulted the oracle of Ammon in Libya from early times more than the other Greeks. At Aphytis, Chalcidice, Ammon was worshipped, from the time of Lysander, as zealously as in Ammonium. Pindar the poet honoured the god with a hymn. At Megalopolis the god was represented with the head of a ram (Paus. viii.32 § 1), and the Greeks of Cyrenaica dedicated at Delphi a chariot with a statue of Ammon.

Such was its reputation among the Classical Greeks that Alexander the Great journeyed there after the battle of Issus and during his occupation of Egypt, where he was declared the son of Amun by the oracle. Alexander thereafter considered himself divine. Even during this occupation, Amun, identified by these Greeks as a form of Zeus, continued to be the principal local deity of Thebes.

Several words derive from Amun via the Greek form, Ammon: ammonia and ammonite. The Romans called the ammonium chloride they collected from deposits near the Temple of Jupiter Amun in ancient Libya sal ammoniacus (salt of Amun) because of proximity to the nearby temple.

Ammonia, as well as being the chemical, is a genus name in the foraminifera. Both these foraminiferans (shelled Protozoa) and ammonites (extinct shelled cephalopods) bear spiral shells resembling a ram's, and Ammon's, horns.

The regions of the hippocampus in the brain are called the cornu ammonis – literally "Amun's Horns", due to the horned appearance of the dark and light bands of cellular layers.

The Arabic and Hebrew greetings As-Salamu Alaykum (السلام عليكم) and Shalom aleichem (שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם) correspond with the Maltese expression, Sliem għalikom. The Hebrewשלוםshalom, the Arabic سلام salām, the Maltese sliem, the Amharic selam("peace") as well as the extinct Phoenician salem are cognates, derived from Proto-Semitic šalām-Peace.

Finally I offer you Salāmun, for this word As-Salām(السلام) is replaced by Salāmun (سلامٌ) and used in a passage of the Qur'an describing the greeting of the Angels towards the inhabitants of the Paradise the Eternal garden.

Having proved to myself that at root the word k-p-r is a verb, - in Latin, verbum means word - a word that in syntax conveys an action, or a state of being (be, exist) - a word that alludes to the idea of the “governing principal,” “god,” “keeper” as keeper of the universe where the lord is my keeper. The “governor,” Gabriel and more, I would now like to prove it toyou.

The object of worship in ancient Egyptian and most late Bronze Age religions was not the Sun-god but the creator-god, who personified the creation of the Universe. All ritual was aimed at re-enacting the creative act in which the focus was the beginning of time.

The sun the moon and stars were seen as created bodies in which the light of the creator-god had been made gloriously manifest. The rising and setting of the Sun k-p-r (Kheper) signified the first light of creation. In its daily cycle, the Sun re-enacted the death and rebirth of the creator-god as well as the death and rebirth of the Universe. In its annual cycle the equinoxes defined the horizontal line, of dawn and the dusk. The solstices in turn signified the vertical line of life in death on the 24 December and death in life on the 21 June.

Every city established by a “king” was jealously referred to as ‘the first’ city; every temple commissioned was ‘the first’. Rituals were performed on a daily and seasonal basis, to rejuvenate the power of the creator-god and help confine the forces of chaos.

With the king at the helm of the appropriately named city, the sky would not fall, the Sun disc would continue to rise, the land would not run dry and one hoped the sea would never flood the land. In Cyprus this ritual to stop the flood is still celebrated and called Kataklismos.

I believe passionately that each major ancient city must have claimed to be a microcosm of the creator-god and it must have been named to affirm the logos that represented by the establishers’ concept of the Creator-god.

The name is of fundamental importance to the original inhabitants so it must be an abstraction of their creation myth.

I believe that the name Asy, Salmina and Kypros all allude to and affirm - in different languages at different times in history - to the same creator-god based on the same creation myth. I believe that all three names are abstractions of a concept of a creator-god, with the power that governs all and primarily drives the sun on its path where all follows eternally, k-p-r.

All three names on the tri-lingual are about the same creator-god, the concept as logos, expressed in different language, a variation of the same theme,

weather the worship is signified as a solar deity of god/dess or pyrolatry one must first look for the common denominator in all three before attempting to translate or transliterate. Etymology is a dead end.

Kypris is said to be an ancient name or surname of a goddess. This name was associated by many of the classical writers to my island Kypris/Cyprus.

Both Hesiod and Homer use Kypris and Kypria as if it were analogous to Cyprus and in meaning or logos to Aphrodite,* the quintessential Goddess expressed as the Alfa-tetragramaton.

The name Aphrodite appears as the logos and stands on its own, only after about 700 BC. Kypri, Aphrodite’s Epithet, meaning eternal, was the logos in tri-unity that Homer alluded to in “Ta Kypria Epi”.

The origin and etymology of the current name of the island of Cyprus has been a challenge to many specialists, ancient and present. Historians, philologists, linguists, etymologists and many other writers and researchers have all had a go at it but to date there is no agreement on it.

Homers epic “Ta Kypria Epi’ said to be written in the 7th century BC possibly started the debate but neither Hesiod nor Homer, nor anyone since has thrown any light on the question. The meaning and origin of the logos, or the idea behind Kypros/Cyprus as well as Aphrodite is still thought of as a mystery.

 

Instinctively one feels that there is an esoteric origin which possibly got lost in transit through one or another dark age. It could also be that it was intentionally kept secret since Homers Kypria Cycle blames the war of Troy on the goddess Aphrodite previously refered to as Kypris.

There are a number of explanations that have been offered regarding the origin of Kypros, the Greek rendering for the island of Cyprus.  However no explanation or etymology has yet been agreed apon that satisfies the specialists in the academic world. 

The association of the name with the word Copper is the most popular and commonly quoted one. Today however this etymology is not accepted because we know that the word copper in English is derived from “cuprum” which is the Latin word for Cyprus and not of copper.

Aes is the Latin word for copper and all references in surviving texts were “Aes Cuprum.” This simply means Copper Cypriot.

Cyprus was the main source of copper for the Romans and they branded their copper Cypriot. Cyprus was said to be the “origin” of copper by (Pliny) and the rest of Europe fell into and probably continued the tradition by adopting the adjective cuprum as the substance and dropped Aes the noun. (English = copper, German = Kupfer, French = cuivre, Swedish = Koppar, Danish = Kobber). There is nothing on record to suggest that copper was discovered first in Cyprus. The facts we have at hand today show that Cyprus was on the intelligentsia radar from the beginning of the copper age, it was an early source of the rich mineral copper pyrite exported as ore. Cyprus was recognized by all powers in her circumference as the best source for the unique shaped copper ingots for over a thousand five hundred years by the time the Romans occupied the island. In the Bronze Age or the Age when Cyprus was governed by the Kinyriades (1450 B.C -1050 BC) the copper ingots from Cyprus became a standard of measure in trade

The Egyptian word/logos Khepri and the goddess Kypri, the tree Cypress are all of the same root kpr. This fundamental ontological word expresses the governing principle of life, defines a metaphysical concept, expresses life/existence/reality as a process, a creation or a recreation, an word for the active principal of life, a trinity, that was said to have descended into matter from the Sun and animated the four classical elements, an idea that represented a World Axis, a Tree of Life and Knowledge, the Philosophers stone, the logos.

Kheper and Kypri, are the same word, same root k-p-r, a triune that defines the ontological process, alludes to life eternal, cyclical time. 

I posit that k-p-r, signifies the "eternal aspect of existance”. This is the root of the name Cyprus as well as the tree of life, the Cypress, as well as the scarab, Kheper and the most fundamental, is that it signifies VITRIOL, naturally processed METALLIC SALTS. The Sulfates, especially copper sulfate, an Alum, a mordant. GPR is the root of Cabiri, as in Gabri-El, the governor, better still the GOVERNING PRINCIPAL. A messenger from above.

Kypri, at root k-p-r is equivalent of Aphro-Dite, it is an affirmation of the fact that HeShe has “life eternal”.





A metaphysical entity; THE FORCE of Unity from the infinite to the finite the union of the above with below.

ASY, A WORD/VERB was expressed in three moments, a ternary or a tri-literal which, with a central connecting, a mean point of equilibrium. 

The Godhead, the three aspects of unity, the common denominator of life, the messengers of god in a word. A metaphysical entity; A Unity of the infinite with the finite the union of the polar above and below.

From The Twin Halls/feathers of truth in love 'becomes' a single feather the symbol of the single truth both in mind and matter.

The folwing By I. M. Oderberg throws great light on my interpretation of the Hieroglyphic word ASY above.

The Egyptian texts that seem to present a glorification of kingship as a ruling authority governing the country had other connotations. R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz has penetrated to the essence of what it represents. Instead of royalty as such, what is involved is the principle of royalty within each human being. AS WELL AS MATTER I ADD  The "king" is the image of man's possible accomplishment, he is the "royal man," the exaltation of the species, very remote from modern ideas of kingship. 

De Lubicz assumes that it is this principle that is capable of transmuting all the kingdoms of nature: minerals becoming gold and every individual becoming a pharaoh (that is to say, per-ao, "great house," meaning the shrine of a divinity). This process of transmutation was the sacred science in Egypt. The inner significance of the scriptures, with vignettes and paintings illustrating them, becomes evident only in the light of such a course of instruction. MY pain point.

The vignette of the Weighing of the Heart (or soul) that has become well known through the publication of the Papyrus of Ani, and the similar texts of Hunefer and Anhai, represent an important stage in the efflorescence of the inner manas as well as in matter (Ani was a Royal Scribe and Court official; Hunefer was Pharaoh's Overseer; Anhai a high priestess) The soul is weighed in the balance against the feather of truth, Maat. 
Before reaching that stage it must pass through lower experiences and only then through the Double Hall of the Maati of Upper and Lower Egypt, where the Weighing Scene is located. 
Maati means more than the two shrines erected to the Neter of Upper and Lower Egypt. If  The northern part of the country, receiving the rich silt from the south, was represented as Lower Egypt, the "physical body." The term Two Maati was surely applied to the truths of the inner and outer cosmos and man.
The individual had two courses before him: the first, to continue along the slow way of evolution until the innermost splendor could manifest. In the time of the New Kingdom, especially during the 18th and part of the 19th dynasties, this was known as the (cyclic) way of Osiris. 
The second course was a much shortened journey in time, represented by the adventures of Horus as indicated in The Ancient Egyptian Book of the Two Ways. The longer journey is over land while the second is through fire, in some texts over water separated from the longer route by fire. In symbolism, fire stood for the higher mind, nous in Greek philosophy and water for nonphysical substance, commonly referred to these days as the "astral plane."
The experiences gained on the shorter way are related in the myth of Horus of Behutet (Behdety) inscribed on the walls of the temple at Edfu. Also known as the Winged Disk myth, it tells of the contest in which Horus, as Neter of Light, overcomes Set. This shows the duality of human nature, and that Set was merely the polar opposite of Osiris.
So in the Horus cycles the Neter stands for the human soul who has to overcome and transmute lower attributes into higher. THE ALCHEMIST. The personality is tested and purified. 
All these texts represent both the slower course of evolutionary experience and the more rapid progress of candidates "initiated" into new levels of themselves. The ceremonies are not the actual achievements, only the recorders of them. THE ACTUAL IS THE TRANSFORMATIONS OF MATTER.
Each individual was expected to live daily life in accordance with the laws or rules of Maat if he or she wished to become fully humanized. It is only after dedication to this course of development that the transformations are achieved. 
The great business of life is to realize the ONE truth in oneself. Recognition of the ONE truth of the cosmos must follow since we are ALL made of the stuff and qualities of the universe, and its law governs all our lives and life, our growth, our very being. "From the All-soul come all those souls which are made to revolve in all the cosmos. . . ." LIFE ETERNAL
To summarize: the path to Maat was represented in ancient Egypt as the path to kingship over oneself. The king of the realm exemplified a Truth-bearer, while passing through the Hall of the Two Maati striving to get to MAHATH, meant and means, experiencing the universe as it really is.

THE PHONEME/SOUND CODED FOR THE SPIRIT IN PRIMAL HIGH/HAI/ARMENIAN WAS Ts.

Movses Khorenatsi was   a prominent Armenian historian   from late antiquity and the author of the History of the Armenians.  His NAME MOVSES KHORENATSI  Մովսես Խորենացի in ARMENIAN literally translates to,  THE GUIDE, THAT CARRIES THE BURDEN OF PUTTING INTO WRITING, ( HISTORY OF ARMENIA) FROM THE DEPTHS  OF THE SPIRIT. MOVSES=GUIDE/KEEL/BURDEN BEARER. KHOREN=FROM DEEP AND TSI=HOURSE/MARE and STALLION, THE ARMENIAN SPIRIT, DAY ONE. Phoneme Ts, Tsa (Western)  Dza (Eastern) or  (majuscule: Ձ; minuscule: ձ; Armenian: ձա) is the  seventeenth letter of the Armenian alphabet . It represents the voiceless aspirated alveolar affricate (/t͡sʰ/) in Western varieties of Armenian.  Working backward from the Phoneme /Ts/ which I intend to show was the chosen phoneme for the idea of a/the spirit which originally and anciently was represented by the SNAKE/DRAGON/KUNDALINI THE COILED (ORIGINALLY FEMALE) SERPENT. OBVIOUS FACTS: 1. WITH THE ABSTRACTED...

*** MN Armenian Ligature ﬓ (մ+ն), or ancient Syllable.

Image
The Armenian alphabet has the following ligatures: և (ե+ւ), ﬔ (մ+ե), ﬕ (մ+ի), ﬗ (մ+խ), ﬖ (վ+ն) and  ﬓ (մ+ն) . A  ligature is a (noun as in a link) A ligature are s trong matches . Like a band, a binding bond, something that has a connection, knoted together a nexus, a rope, a yoke. My focus is on ﬓ (մ+ն)  which signifies not only permanance in the Armenian language, but also plays its part as a ligature in English. The number of words containing MN in them, in the English language are very telling of an idea that was lost a long time ago that obviously created the ligature MN in the first place. A word like Omni or  Amen, recognised today to have its roots in PIE as -men and the /mn/ at seed signifies existence/presence/permanance in PIE, Aryan. Here I jump straight to the idea of cyclic order for I posit that the ultimate origin of the ligature  ﬓ (մ+ն) whether originally Armenian or IndoEuropean goes back to the a priory moment of its creation.  In ...
