My brother had his DNA analysed and it seems my family are ridiculously British: 57% English 17% Scottish 11% Irish 7% Wales 6% Norway 2% Sweden and Denmark ... I am a living example of the last 1500 years of British history ...

Perhaps it will be helpful to compare the USA to a blue whale to get an idea of proportion:

There’s a lot of ethno jealously in this world - I can’t help being an indo aryan aristocrat!

i think you may be thinking of Hathor or Bat (a related goddess). Hathor means Hwt-hr which is the Temple of Horus - or more strictly the temple enclosure of Horus. She is also known as the eye of Horus and relates to a very ancient form of Egyptian Religion (possibly the original form) where Horus was the sky and the sun and moon his two eyes. The Djed pillar on the other hand is related to Osiris and means 'stability' ... it is related to his spine and the uprightness with his 'resurrection' - the four cross pieces are four vertibrae which relate in turn to the Four Sons of Horus which were precursors to the Four Elements of the western tradition. That they are brought together and unified is rather like the philosophers stone in alchemy - a perfect balance of the four in one. The thing on top of the djed which is an oval with a snake inside is the foetus of the sun god which is cucooned at this stage (often shown but not here in the coiled body of the serpent Mehen).

the djed pillar is an interesting symbol - but I feel I would bore everybody by talking at length about it. I've been studying the papyrus of Khonsu-mes for a while now - and its a nice representation of the basic cycle of the BoD - I understand nearly all of it apart from a couple of obscure symbols here and there. And it is indeed odd that in the midst of their religious literature they should place an electricity pylon - though of course they were heavily into solar power

@Nungali fantastic stuff! great research. I don't know much about it but this part of the world seems to be significant time and time again. I wondered vaguely if there was any connection to Oddiyana - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oddiyana - and also I recall from somewhere a tradition that Garab Dorje came from somewhere west of Tibet but I can't find any reference on google.

I shall ask Michael von Schicklgruber to be my second ... and to bring his grandad Adolf with him.

we should settle this like gentlemen, dawn, feather dusters at 50 paces, venue of your choosing.

yeah but it is perfectly possible that the same asterisms were significant across broad periods of time and different cultures.

He's already replied to this http://maajournal.com/Issues/2017/Vol17-2/Matters arising 17(2).pdf page 7. I'm not here to defend Sweatman by the way but the articles are from 2017! I'm guessing things have moved on since then - or maybe Covid prevented this. Just on Point 3. this is typical academic high mindedness - it is perfectly possible that more or less the same asterisms were used from very ancient times (although some changes in nomenclature and iconography would be inevitable) in the Northern hemisphere.
