EGG CINYRAS CYPRUS FURNACE LOOM WHEEL

The origin of the Pasch eggs is clear. The ancient Druids bore an egg, as the sacred emblem of their order. In the Dionysiaca, or mysteries of Bacchus, as celebrated in Athens, one part of the nocturnal ceremony consisted in the consecration of an egg. The Hindoo fables celebrate their mundane egg as of a golden colour. The people of Japan make their sacred egg to have been brazen. In China, at this hour, dyed or painted eggs are used on sacred festivals, even as in this country. In ancient times eggs were used in the religious rites of the Egyptians and the Greeks, and were hung up for mystic purposes in their temples. From Egypt these sacred eggs can be distinctly traced to the banks of the Euphrates. The classic poets are full of the fable of the mystic egg of the Babylonians; and thus its tale is told by Hyginus, the Egyptian, the learned keeper of the Palatine library at Rome, in the time of Augustus, who was skilled in all the wisdom of his native country: "An egg of wondrous size is said to have fallen from heaven into the river Euphrates. The fishes rolled it to the bank, where the doves having settled upon it, and hatched it, out came Venus, who afterwards was called the Syrian Goddess"--that is, Astarte. Hence the egg became one of the symbols of Astarte or Easter; and accordingly, in Cyprus, one of the chosen seats of the worship of Venus, or Astarte, the egg of wondrous size was represented on a grand scale.

The occult meaning of this mystic egg of Astarte, in one of its aspects (for it had a twofold significance), had reference to the ark during the time of the flood, in which the whole human race were shut up, as the chick is enclosed in the egg before it is hatched.




KINYRAS BROUGHT to Cyprus three technologies that were new, one, the vertical, warp-weighted loom and the practice of low whorl spinning technology, (Flax).Two the high temperature furnace and three, the potters wheel, (luster wear.)

The same (Philia) levels at Marki also have produced early evidence for the use of terracotta spindle whorls and clay loom weights on Cyprus. These two items are said to demonstrate the presence of the vertical, warp-weighted loom and the practice of low whorl spinning technology.


Homer records both a semi-circular sacred grove and a great altar located at Paphos.

On the question of Aphrodite Cone, 'Never getting wet even when it rained, suggests a hydrophobic material treatment.

For example, secondary molybdenite may be obtained from copper mines, wherein the secondary molybdenite is typically combined withcopper-containing materials (e.g., copper sulfide). In such cases, molybdenum disulfide concentrate is obtained as a by-product from copper sulfide-molybdenum disulfide separation processes.Primary molybdenum ores at a relatively coarse grind go through an initial stage of flotation. At Climax Molybdenum, for example, the first separation is made at 35% + 100 mesh. The flotation system uses vapour oil as a promoter and pine oil as frother. A sulfonated coconut oil (syntax) is added to the system to emulsify the oil. Copper sulfate dissolves quickly and dissociates to yield copper ions, which formcopper sulfide molecules at the mineral surface according to the reaction: ZnS + Cu2+ s CuS + Zn2+ The copper sulfide formed on the surface of the sphalerite mineral reacts readily with the xanthate, and forms insoluble copper xanthate, which makes the sphaleritesurface hydrophobic. Such a reaction for activating sphalerite occurs whenever the activating ions are present in the solution.
