More about this painting
BABYLONIAN / ( Text translated by Google) / Phoenician Period under Egyptian occupation from 1800 to 1100 BC. Unlikely encounter abruptly exit the imagination of the artist, whereas Egypt has been planned for several thousand years to take the role of this usurper. In fact, the mural still exists in the depths of a pyramid, and evil be to him who evil thinks of any felony. Image paradoxically iconoclast, but embalmed a dream of your artist. Perhaps you've instantly recognized our vaguely puppet’s Balinese? Anyway, it is Benu which is the main character! Not for what he did but for what it is, namely, the sacred bird of Egypt: Benu the first living being in Egyptian mythology, he emerged from the light and sat on the darkness, bringing in its wake heat and creative energy. He said that his first cry was never heard on earth! The Benu bird was particularly venerated at Heliopolis, where he was considered one of the incarnations of Râ, the sun god. Originally the Egyptians represented him in the form of a yellow wagtail or a heron Nile planted with two feathers on the head as spearheads, in another life. May this picture help? The most common form represented in the tombs and retained by me. Benu was often engraved on precious stones and buried with the dead to help revive
Benu: a few words about our bird? It was primarily associated with Atum and Râ at a time. It was only later that he became the incarnation of Osiris when he was in the darkness of Douat during his journey of resurrection as the sun god, Benu regenerates itself! To convince you this is his incantation from the Book of the Dead: "I am Solar copulating with the phallus itself, I am the Benu bird in Annu (Heliopolis =). I am the keeper of the Book of beings and being. Who then is it? Osiris, his body is lying, or his injury. In other words Eternity (double): the light of Day and the continuing to be the Night !"
