Osirian Legend of Egypt
tells a condensed version of mythology to illustrate the importance of ancient
calendar reckoning. The 1,461-year
Sothic Cycle highlights comparative elements of the Mayan Calendar. The first and second solar-side time splits
by Seth and later, Cainan form part of the Antediluvian Calendar in Genesis.

Osirian Legend of Egypt
The Osirian
legend of Egypt sets aside 70-nights during a
365-day-solar-year to mark the star Sirius’ disappearance below the
horizon. Osirus existed in the
netherworld for 70-days until his triumphant resurrection every year. Egyptian mythology preserved the annual
heliacal rising that coincided with the flood of the Nile.
Expanding the folklore accord of the ancient Egyptians, Sirius remains
invisible for 70-years out of a 365-year-solar-cycle that uses
365-day-solar-years or a "year of years." Similar to the primary 70-year age of Cainan,
this situation employs a 70-days-and-years single term during the 365-days-and-years
single term of the Egyptian Calendar.
Sustaining ideas of dividing daylight from darkness, and lunar from
solar separation times in equal, but opposite portions underlines a theology
that entails the annual duration of invisibility for the "Dog Star,"
Sirius. Identical patterns repeat when
dual 400-day and 400-year-Baktun-cycle terms are considered.
Abstract traces in ancient
mythology supplement the anthropology of past culture. Clever screening of stories retold and
rewritten many times over avail historians to discern the more important pieces
that still survive. Architecture and
other physical relics discovered are elements of the bygone days, and when
substantiated with customs and folk lore, secure a clearer understanding of
former society. In libraries and
museums, appreciation for the shoulders forgotten preserves their heritage, and
confidently, the future will conserve those days and things shared today. Egyptian mythology and religion were
insistent upon the calendar mathematics of the empire.
Osiris
and his wife or sister, Isis ruled over the pre-historical
lands of Egypt. Both divinities joined Earth to assist the
development of humankind. Osiris had a
son/brother named Seth or Set. The
brothers dwelt at the ancient city of Abydos,
together with their wives, Isis and Nephthys. People adored Osiris for supporting the needs
of civilization, good health and welfare.
Osiris and Isis had to return home during their visit to Asia. Seth and seventy-two others plotted against
Osiris during his absence. The
conspiracy group arranged a homecoming festival. We are told by the myth a strange box was
introduced. One by one, all the guests
tried to fit into the box. Osiris was
last and the only participant able to ease himself into the box. The conspirators suddenly shut and sealed the
lid on the box. They cast the tomb into
the Nile River
or sea, and it floated northwards.
Eventually the box rested in a tamarisk tree. Isis and her nephew Anubis
set out to find her husband's body. They
found the tree at Byblus. However, Seth’s magical power guarded the
tree and she could not approach the coffin.
About this time, the King of Byblus came looking for a tree to serve as a column for his
palace. Isis
assumed the form of a dove and watched.
The King selected the same tree that held Osiris. Isis in vain attempted
to deter the men from cutting the tree down.
Isis resumed her womanly role undaunted and
followed the King back to the palace where she became nurse for the queen's
child.
Isis
finally recovered the coffin only to again confront Seth's magical
practices. Seth stole the box away from
her and cut the body of Osiris into fourteen pieces. Seth scattered the pieces, forcing Isis
to look again for Osiris. Isis
searched everywhere until she had located every piece except the phallus. She then made a wooden figurine to represent
the phallus and transported the body back to Abydos for burial. Isis wept and chanted
prayers for her dead mate. Her tears and
prayers were so powerful that one part of Osiris revived enough to obtain
conception for his wife. Osiris then
ascended to heaven and observed Isis while she carried
and bore his only son, Horus. Some texts claim Horus
was a reincarnation of his father. Other
versions say that Isis and Osiris conceived Horus
while they were unborn in their mother's womb.
Set knew that Horus would grow up to avenge
his father. Horus
grew to maturity and after a great contest, returned the throne to Isis. She refused the throne and opted to return to
heaven. She rejoined herself to the
spirit of her dead husband. She
abdicated and Horus succeeded the throne to
everyone’s satisfaction.
Seth or Set personifies to be the
Egyptian devil and the spiritual emblem of adversity. Seth portrays an evil disguise as the serpent
Typhon. Seth
stands for the destructive antiray that opposes the
powers of light. Seth (Typhon) is the archetype of the sun god, Ra. The thinking behind dualities of light versus
darkness is noticeable for Seth in this fragment of Egyptian mythology.
Seth’s primary 105-year age links with
the Mayan 104-year Venus Round and forms the solar-side time split allocated to
each 400-year-l/s-Baktun-cycle. Twice
Seth’s Judaic 105-year primary age accrues 210-years of solar-side time split
for one 800-year Generation Cycle. The
primary 70-sacred-year age of Cainan numerically matches directly with 70-years
disappearance time of Sirius. Shades of
the biblical Seth weave into Egyptian mythology.
Seth represents a polarization of
common spiritual influences. After Cain
slew Abel, Seth replaces his first-born brother (Genesis 4:8, 4:25).
Interesting are the column references at Byblus
and Isis performing roles of a dove and the queen's nurse. The Ark of Noah and the "ark of the
bulrushes" (papyrus) that the infant Moses was discovered in share traits
with this legend (Exodus 2:3). The seventy-third and final attempt to fit
the box by Osiris after seventy-two others reveals a deified King setting aside
the last 73rd-Tzolken-sacred-year of a Calendar Round.
The 365-day-and-year single term
quadruples to reach the Egyptian 1,460-year Sothic Cycle. In contrast, numerical matching found with
using four 364-day-and-year single terms amounts 1456-years. An additional 5-day-and-year single term,
accounting for the Leap Day fraction, finishes a 1,461-year Sothic Cycle. The 1,460-year Sothic Cycle differs from 1600-l/s-years, or four 400-year-l/s-Baktun-cycles by
140-years. The Egyptian lunar/solar
calendar divides the remaining 140-years into 70-years of lunar-side and
70-years of solar-side time split. Cainan’s given primary 70-year age personifies 70-years Osirian time spent in the underworld by virtue of numerical
matching and solar-side time split.
The Genesis sequence of chronology was a component of Egyptian
mythology. The 70-year solar-side half
of 140-years is at the heart of Osirian
lore and the innermost sanctum of the temple.
Calculating 69.2-Tzolken-sacred-years or 70.2-Tzolken-sacred-years
approximates equal to the primary 70-Tzolken-sacred-year age of Cainan. Seth and Cainan together provide lunar/solar
calculations that are fundamental to the 1,461-year Sothic Cycle. Secondary ages are foundational from 800-year
Generation Cycles. Days and years share
numerical matching themes throughout six recorded lunar/solar divisions from
Adam to Jared. The ancient calendar of
Osiris embeds in Egyptian mythology and Judeo-Christian biblical records
thousands of years prior to the great flood of Noah.

student of the Holy Bible? Timeemits.com seeks anointed people to review
and contribute to the Ages of Adam
ministry. Ancient lunar/solar calendars
like the Jewish and Mayan calendars provide the background to understanding
early time. Ancient calendars of the Holy Bible use differences between the
moon and sun, numerical matching and a 364-day calendar year to describe
X-number of days that match with X-number of years. Ages
