Hmmm ..... I checked them out , they seem too small - the ones I could find, and would not protrude from the closed hand like that. I found the one depicted above; Seal of Pepi I , it came with this text : " Cylinder seals, worn by the owner on the chest like a pendent " http://www.globalegyptianmuseum.org/detail.aspx?id=1249

Interesting, that's a rolling seal is it ? The one I was shown had the seal on the end so it was used as a stamp. This one seems a better fit . other suggestions were ; papyrus case - but seems too small , some are hollowed out, but that could have been where a shaft was placed for a staff or other object. I am familiar with the Mesopotamian version of these rolling seals, but not the Egyptian ... and I dont know why I am not familiar with them ... or the guy at the museum didnt mention them ... or Rosemary Clarke I better have another chat with him . Thanks for the pic and suggestion

Nice Mario bling though Yolandi says ; " I got more bling than Mr T ..." There are your modern ' talismans ' Gold ..... gold ...... gold ! its mine .... all mine !

Thank God that was one of the better Crumbs .... he can 'touch' on rather 'taboo' subjects ! no .... no link ..... no way !

This one is very interesting , woman on the left holds one in each hand but the couple holding hands holds one rod each in the outer hand , as if some energy flows between them. Also there is another sculpture of a 'threesome ' two women hold both outer hands of the man and both women have a rode tube cylinder (or whatever it is ) in their outer hands .

I have a connection to them , via the rod.ru Ruskies . I supplied them with some research I did on 'direction finding' with the Indigenous here, relating to the Geological EMF and that little thing in our heads with the magnetic crystals in it ( like a magnetic version of the 'inner ear' balance function) and the usage of iron laden 'special ochre' in ceremony and body painting ) . In return they sent me 2 different sets of rods. I worked with them a bit ...... mhe . In researching them and their history of development , there are some 'gaps' and some 'sus' stuff around it . Also I was in contact with Rosemary Clarke for a while https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Magic-Ancient-Egypt-Spiritual/dp/1567181309 I asked her about them and she said there is something behind these 'rods' but the Russians got it wrong , or made a mistake or something. When I asked for clarity she spat the dummy a bit and didnt want to talk about it and said she was far too busy anyway and that ended our communication ... I think they are still in the back of my wardrobe ? Or I might have given them away by now. I had no more communication on rods after that ( my contact told me her little girl loved Scooby-doo, I said 'OH ! I just finished working on the latest S D movie. I will send you some stuff from the film, including a film crew cap with SC logo. Apparently the little girl was overjoyed and would not take it off and even slept in it . I decided bringing joy to children was more rewarding than working with 'Egyptian rods' recently the subject surfaced again when I broached it with Egyptologist friend ( who is curator of Egyptian Museum in Chicago ) and we had a little debate about them appearing in Egyptian sculpture and art. Interesting, but his answers seem inconclusive. I can link you to the online conversation if you like ?

It relates to the post before it ... but the page split broke the association .

I live 'down in the crack'. A valley that was formed a brazillion years ago on the sea floor by one 'bed' being forced under a 'block' and lifting its edge by subduction. Then igneous intrusions came up in parts of the 'crack'. Much later, after land rise and ocean retreat, the valley emerged as land, then a big volcano and cone, then millions of years of erosion. What a mix of rocks we got in the river bed! My fav is one stuck inside another, with its edge protruding. It appears that a volcanic rock (with gas holes through it - not pumice, hard and heavy ) became a river rock, got eroded into a rounded flat shape, got picked up by a glacier, taken out to sea in an ice berg, berg melted, dropped rock to sea floor, became embedded in mud. Mud beds subducted, turned to rock, came back up to surface, got eroded, and turned into a river rock with the earlier ancient river rock welded into it (according to a geologist I showed it to ) . That little rock sure has a story to tell !

Timely dear puss, very timely (I been in a running 2 day debate with a poor fellow national on the subject of 'pyramids' down under ). I just hope no one here mentions the 'Gympie Pyramid' or the 'Gosford Hieroglyphics ' .

Is this better ? I thought your eyes might be red themselves .... to match the text ? After your little drinking session last night ??? Which, I assume, is when you achieved your ' recent investigation ' results .

No thanks .... 1 3/4 hrs on how the Irish came from Atlantis .... However , if you yourself would like to add something other than a youtube link .....

Just in; Ascent of Man image should be ‘the other way around’, leading expert in human evolution says .... Another key piece of evidence used by those who believe humans evolved to walk upright on the ground is the human foot. For a long time it was thought to be fixed, rather than flexible like a gorillas foot. But Professor Crompton and other scientists have found evidence that our foot is kept stiff by muscles and tendons, rather than locked in place by the bones. “Humans have flexible feet just like other apes. There’s nothing special about them and in particular they resemble the foot of gorillas,” he said. “There is little special about human feet to suggest they are primarily adapted to life on the ground. “We are a typical great ape, with great ape feet.” http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/ascent-of-man-human-evolution-apes-chimpanzees-lucy-australopithecus-robin-crompton-a7230371.html

Shut up you ! That is NOT true < flings a turd at him > . 'Evolved' huh ? Some people dont like this at all ; to be told they are of the order primate . I point out ; the set of the shoulders, the flat nails, the hand structure, the nipples .... it makes them uncomfortable ...... at least we dont throw turds at each other anymore .... we have become far more 'civilized' in what we 'throw' at each other nowadays

another thing I found interesting, although at a latter date, and nothing to do with 'original developing cultures' or Egypt was the spread of Manichaeism ; originated in Persia and eventually spread to and further developed in 'China' . But these are 'interesting cross cultural trends' not whole cultures being transported and created or influenced.

Also the painted patterns on these lines (in ochre, high in iron ) on the body, relating to effects between the body's bio-electric field and the environment's emf ..... some of these things are still going today ....' down here' living people are still doing things like that ... dont need no mummies . But they do reveal the interesting history and trends of other places .

Unfortunately you cant see it in that banner pic I put up, but on that, and more so on some others that were made, they have jewels, crystals, beads, etc sewn into it . But maybe you seek something like this, a 'jewel' ? :

Ohhh ... that was rather a dull post ^

We have them come over here sometimes too , it can be pretty popular .... for some .

Hope its better than that one I just had above

Not unless you are a 'whisperer' . Apparently most people misinterpret their own dogs' reactions and behavior ..... I suspected as much. Poor dogs, heaps seem confused when with some people . Coincidentally , these 'Caucasian mummies in China' dudes , if they were who I think they were , got where they did ( ie. advanced early civilization ) due to the dog, as well as the horse and cattle. It seems the main 4 things were horse (and its application to pull a cart), cattle and the dog ...... makes sense ..... if you ever lived on a farm . Dogs had citizenship rights and orders of protection around them in their first societies.

Great ! I look forward to diving headfirst into the new era here on DBs !
