The Pyramids of the Cold v2 (May 2023) • Part C: the Grand Gallery of the Great Pyramid

Section 26 • The 10 operating phases of the Grand Gallery

In summary: just like for all the other parts of the operation of the Great Pyramid of Giza for evaporative cold production, the entire operation of the Grand Gallery has been glorified into myths, gods and goddesses. Most probably, it is  because the Gallery was the only part of the interior of the Pyramid where people were actually working that it was at the origin of the most noticeable of all myths and deities: Horus, Ra, Osiris, Sobek, Isis, Hathor, Anubis, Thoth, etc. they are all deifications of the equipment used in the Grand Gallery.

Everything that is part of the 10 operating phases of the Gallery, is directly originating in the most famous myths of ancient Egypt: the Osiris myth, the Seven Scorpions of Isis, and everything that is known of the deities mentioned, like the "Two Sandals of Isis".

26.01  The water slide metaphor of the impactor's operating

I must admit I couldn't find a better illustration of the 2 parts of the operating cycle of the impactor.

The water slide is a perfect modern metaphor, whether it is for describing the sliding movement of the impactor at high speed inside the central gutter of the Grand Gallery; or the slow hauling process to get the impactor back to the upper part of the Gallery.

26.02  P1 • The impactor has just rammed into the waters of the inclined well: a new cycle begins (last updated April 28, 2023)

26.03  The cry for help for the release of the Isis rope and the recovery of the impactor (Horus the child)

The following excerpt is fantastic, really, because it is talking about the exact moment when the impactor had done its job and is now floating (more or less) on the surface of the inclined well waters.

Because before being released into the slope, the impactor had to be disconnected with the Isis Hauling rope to preserve its structural integrity and reduce at the maximum its length, once inside the well, someone had to open a hatch at the very bottom of the Tree of Life fixed caisson, and reattach the Isis rope which had at this point been gently sliding down inside the empty caisson.

Listen to this, it is beautiful: the "doorkeepers at the Temple of the Holy Acacia Tree" are the crewmembers standing at the bottom of the Grand Gallery, next to the caisson; maybe two of them needed to get inside the caisson and had to open one or two hatches when they heard the impactor popping up at the surface of the well, that is them "hearing Horus crying in pain"; then they shout in the Grand Gallery so that probably the team leader of the crew can release the Isis rope inside the caisson (that is the "send a cry to the heavens for help")… because Isis (the Hauling rope) is at the other end of the Gallery, away from its impactor. Beautiful!

"In one of the poison-curing spells that include the legend of “Isis & the Seven Scorpions,” when Horus is stung and cries out in pain, it is the doorkeepers at the Temple of the Holy Acacia Tree who hear Him and send a cry to the heavens for help, since Isis is away making libations for Osiris." https://isiopolis.com/2015/07/12/isis-the-acacia-goddess/

26.04  P2 • The Hatmehit rope has been released in the central caisson for the recovery of the impactor (last updated April 28, 2023)

For the recovery of the impactor, one man had to get inside the fixed caisson to reattach the Hatmehit rope, and start a whole new Hauling cycle towards the upper part of the Grand Gallery. The Acacia wooden caisson had to have a hatch at the bottom of the Gallery.

"When the Distant Goddess (Hathor) eludes Ra's control, a god is sent forth by Ra to find his daughter and bring her home and, when this happens, she brings with her the inundation of the Nile River which overflowed its banks and brought life to the people."

The god sent by Ra (who is the impactor), to find Hathor (the Hauling beetle) to reassemble them both is precisely the Hatmehit rope.

26.05  When the impactor Ra is sending the Hatmehit rope to reconnect with the Distant Goddess Hathor hauling Beetle

In the following excerpts, many parts are gonna ring a bell if you've already worked your way through all the Pyramids of the Cold Sections 23 and the more recent ones, which are little by little deciphering the metaphoric representations of the ropes of the Grand Gallery.

All excerpts are from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatmehit

• Isis, Nephthys and Hatmehit are all "searching for the body of Osiris" (they are all together about the impactor's Hauling rope): "There is one note of a Nephthys-Hatmehit in a hieratic papyrus Book of Hours. Additionally, Herman de Meulenaere argues that due to Hatmehit's epithets describing her as one of the parties who search for the body of Osiris that pointed to a connection with Nephthys as well".

• "Hatmehit being considered a form of Isis": "In earlier periods, Hatmehit was considered her own goddess. However from the Third Intermediate Period onwards, Isis would begin to take the role of Hatmehit in the local cult, with Hatmehit being considered a form of Isis particular to Mendes. This was prompted by the growing association between Banebdjedet and Osiris, with Banebdjedet being considered the ba of Osiris. This is also evidenced by her epithets "She who looks for (the members of) her brother on the flow" and "The excellent Sister of He who wakes healthy (=Osiris)".

and: "The Dendera temple complex contains the most evidence of the connection between Isis and Hatmehit, where Isis is referred to explicitly as Hatmehit on two occasions. The first is on the wall of the mysterious hall in a series of inscriptions about Isis visiting the various nomes. When they get to Nome 16 of Lower Egypt it states: "The king of Upper and Lower Egypt, the son of Ra comes to you, Isis the great, the mother of the god, mistress of Iatdi. He brings you to the capital of the Mendesian nome carrying his possessions, it garnishes your chapel, you are Hatmehit, sovereign in Mendes, who seeks (the members of) her brother on the flow."

• Hatmehit's connection with Banebdjedet: "As the connection between Isis and Hatmehit became stronger, eventually Isis was shown as part of the Mendesian triad without necessarily being explicitly identified as Hatmehit. For example, a stela from Mendes from the reign of Iuput II depicts an offering being given to a triad of Banebdjedet, Isis the Great, and Harpocrates. Another stela depicts Ptolemy II Philadelphus making an offering to the deified Arsinoe II, the ram of Mendes, Banebdjedet the ba of Osiris, and a figure with the inscription "Isis the Great Hatmehit".

• Hatmehit's connection with Hathor and Mehet-Weret: "Hatmehit is considered by some Egyptologists to be connected with Hathor. Hathor is one of the oldest deities of Egypt who also went by the name Mehet-Weret, meaning "great flood". This may possibly be due to being seen as a remnant of the primal waters of creation from which all things arose. Other goddesses associated with the primal waters of creation are Mut and Naunet."

26.06  P3 • The impactor has just been reconnected: everything is ready for the hauling process to begin (last updated April 28, 2023)

26.07  Iusaaset: the wooden Acacia Structure of the hauling Beetle that looked like a scarab

If many aspects of Nebethetepet are about the movement of the Hauling beetle, Iusaaset is on the contrary all about its structure that resembled to a scarab beetle: not only Iusaaset is described with a scarab beetle on her head, but she is also directly associated with the Acacia tree.

But because Iusaaset is also about the movement of the impactor inside the structure, it means that Iusaaset is the Hauling beetle approaching the top of the Grand Gallery and the impactor itself: the more the structure is approaching the impactor and the top platform, the bigger it looks from the platform.

"The process of creation was said to have begun when Atum masturbated, or copulated with himself, to produce the deities Shu and Tefnut, thus beginning the process of creation. The hand he used in this act was personified as a goddess, the Hand of Atum. She was equated with Hathor or Iusaaset and Nebethetepet, two other, more minor goddesses.[4] The earliest texts to mention them seem to treat Iusaaset and Nebethetepet as two names for a single goddess, but after the time of the Middle Kingdom (c. 2000–1700 BC) they were treated as separate, although similar, deities. The name "Iusaaset" means something resembling "She who grows as she comes" and "Nebethetepet" means "Lady of the Field of Offerings"   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iusaaset

"Iusaaset is a primordial goddess in Ancient Egyptian religion, a feminine counterpart to the male creator deity Atum. Iusaaset was depicted as a woman with a scarab beetle on her head."

"Iusaaset was associated with the acacia tree and acacias stood at the sanctuary dedicated to Iusaaset at Heliopolis."

"In very ancient times she was seen as “the great one who comes forth”  https://iseumsanctuary.com/2022/02/14/goddess-of-the-tree-of-life/

"In Ancient Egyptian art, Iusaaset appears as a woman wearing the horned vulture crown with the uraeus and the solar disk in it, and she carries an ankh in one hand and a scepter in the other. The Egyptian vulture, most sacred to the ancient Egyptians and symbolizing Nekhbet, one of the Two Ladies protecting Egypt, was thought to reproduce though parthenogenesis also. This association might be the basis for the similar view about the motherhood of Iusaaset. The vultures also were considered extremely good mothers. The horns, the uraeus, and the solar disk make a religious connection to Bat and Hathor."

TT60 is the burial place of a woman called Senet. She was related to the ancient Egyptian Vizier Intefiqer (mother or wife). It is one of the earliest burials in the area. Intefiqer was Governor of the city (i.e. Thebes) and Vizier of Senusret I in the 12th Dynasty. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TT60

26.08  P4 Side view • The hauling of the impactor is underway (last updated April 28, 2023)

"Mehet-Weret is described as being the mother of Ra and that she was responsible for raising the sun [Ra] into the sky every day." It means that Mehet-Weret is the glorification of the active hauling Beetle, really accomplishing the sacred act of hauling the impactor.

At this point, the hatch is opened to let the air fill the caisson with fresh air that will replace the moist air of the evaporative passage.

26.09  The two sets of 6 crewmembers of the hauling Beetle: 6 active and 6 inactive crewmembers

• On the left, the 6 active crewmembers of the hauling Beetle: "Excuse me, but I'm working here! We'll talk tomorrow!"

• On the right, the same 6 crewmembers of the inactive Beetle: "I'm not touching that rope, I'm done for the day!"

What it means is that on this single image, the hauling Beetle is actually also represented twice:

• the right side of the image is about the active and inactive phases of the hauling process (the Beetle moving up and down the Gallery)

• the left side is representing the Beetle itself, but (most probably) in one single Position of the entire cycle; and I think it could be about P9.

26.10  P4 • The hauling of the impactor is underway (last updated April 28, 2023)

"Mehet-Weret was responsible for raising the sun into the sky every day." […] "Mehet-Weret is described as being the mother of Ra, the ancient Egyptian solar deity. As the Goddess of Creation, she gives birth to the sun every day and is the reason the world isn't in the dark. In her physical description, she is described as having a sun disk between her horns; in typical motherly fashion, she protects her son Ra and keeps him close to her."  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehet-Weret

26.11  P5 • The hauling process is finished and the impactor is secured at the top of the Gallery (last updated April 28, 2023)

26.12  P6 • The latch bolts of the Gallery are being pushed back into the walls (last updated April 28, 2023)

26.13  P7 • The hauling Beetle is beeing brought back to the top of the Gallery (last updated April 28, 2023)

26.14  P8 • The hauling Beetle is approaching the impactor at the top of the Gallery (last updated April 28, 2023)

Ancient Egyptians believed that "the process of creation was said to have begun when Atum masturbated, or copulated with himself, to produce the deities Shu and Tefnut, thus beginning the process of creation. The hand he used in this act was personified as a goddess, the Hand of Atum [which was] equated with Hathor or Iusaaset and Nebethetepet".

This sexual metaphor of "the Hand of Atum" is perfectly depicting the continuous and simultaneous relative movement of the impactor inside the Hauling beetle, that was endlessly "passing through" or "penetrating" the Beetle… and resulting in the ejection of pressurized liquid: the about 200 liters of pressurized water that endlessly, all day long, were creating the evaporative cold in the horizontal passage.

26.15  Nebethetepet is about the penetrating movement of the impactor "inside" the wooden structure Iusaaset

What seems to be the most significant aspect of Nebethetepet, the "Satisfied Lady" is her "sexual" side, as in her epithet of "Mistress" that is used in Mistress of Offerings, Mistress of Hetepet and Mistress of the uterus and Mistress of the Vulva.

It could indicate that Nebethetepet was the vision of the Hauling beetle in movement towards the impactor, and that the metaphor used in her case is about the sexual intercourse, when the impactor was cycle after cycle endlessly "penetrating" inside the wooden structure that would have appear like two opened legs over the impactor.

It would mean that the hauling Beetle could have been called Nebethetepet only when the gantry was slowly closing to the impactor Horus the child, who was "waiting" for the Beetle at the top of the Gallery, at the very end of every cycle.

"Nebet-hetepet (nb.t-ḥtp.t) is an ancient Egyptian goddess. Her name means "Lady of the Offerings" or "Satisfied Lady". She was worshipped in Heliopolis as a female counterpart of Atum. She personified Atum's hand, the female principle of creation, and could also be a title for Hathor, but aside from that had little significance."  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebethetepet

"Iusâas is also known as Nebet-Hetepet, ‘Mistress of Hetepet’, a cult site in the vicinity of Heliopolis. This epithet also, however, has the meaning of ‘Mistress of the Vulva’ as well as ‘Mistress of Offerings’, thereby expressing a conception of divine offerings as that which brings forth the latent potency of the Gods into generative expression. The epithet Nebet-Hetepet is frequently borne by Hathor as well, who is the Goddess of sexual satisfaction in a broader sense. Iusâas and Nebet-Hetepet sometimes appear to be distinct Goddesses; closer investigation, however, tends to reveal that when the distinction between Iusâas and Nebet-Hetepet is genuine, it is because it is Hathor to whom the epithet ‘Nebet-Hetepet’ is being ascribed (Vandier 1964-66)."  https://henadology.wordpress.com/theology/netjeru/iusaas/

"The cult of Iusaas was associated with that of another heliopolitan goddess: Nebet-Hetepet. There are also several suggestions regarding her name: Lady of contentment; Mistress of Offering; or simply "Misteress of Hetepet". Troy explains that Htpt is generally determined by the water-filled well which is found in Hmt, woman and wife. Accordingly, it is related to the female reproductive organs. It also might betranslated as "uterus", which is considered a place of rest, Htp. Hence, Nebet-Hetepet could mean Mistress of the uterus." Goddess Iusaas (A study about her iconography and her religious role in Ancient Egypt), by Dina Ezz El-Din: https://www.academia.edu/43571020/Goddess_Iusaas_A_study_about_her_iconography_and_her_religious_role_in_Ancient_Egypt

26.16  P9 • The latch bolts are being popped out of the walls by Tefen and Befen (last updated April 28, 2023)

26.17  The shift change chaos because of Hathor and the 8 "dead" crewmembers

The P9 position in the operating cycle of the Grand Gallery was certainly the moment when a shift change could have been proceeded. And that could be the origin of the "troublesome" side of Hathor: it is only when the hauling Beetle was at the very top of the Grand Gallery, locked and secured, that any shift change could have occurred.

It means that the entire team of the 6 crewmembers would have to get out of the gantry, to be replaced by a brand new team; and I can only imagine the chaos it would cause. The "chaos in the human world", created by Hathor is probably all about this shift change.

It could also be about the noise produced by the operation of the latch bolts, forced back into the walls.

From a certain point of view, the 8 crewmembers leaving their posts, could also have been seen as "dead", just like we all are after a very intense physical activity. The 8 leaving crewmembers certainly didn't say "oh, kill me now", but they were probably quite dead anyway!

"Myth of the Heavenly Cow" by Nadine Guilhou tells the story of a separate goddess that is related to Mehet-Weret who is named Hathor. Hathor is seen as more troublesome than Mehet-Weret, because she creates chaos in the human world. The title of the story of the “Myth of the Heavenly Cow” is also known as “The Destruction of Mankind” because Hathor was sent to kill the rebels who acted against the sun god Ra and his plans to rearrange the cosmos. While Hathor is the bloodthirsty warrior cow, focused on the destruction of humankind, Mehet-Weret is responsible for creating some of the most basic needs for humankind: sun and water."   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehet-Weret

26.18  Is the above representation of the hauling Beetle in the Theban Tomb TT60 of Senet about P9?

Not only this painting is absolutely beautiful, but more importantly it is also extremely valuable for it is showing to us the hauling Beetle in action.

The difficulty here, is to determine which part of the Beetle's operation cycle it is all about, but let's try: there is the sledge (which had been deified into Anubis), two hauling ropes attached to the sledge (that would be the active Beetle's hauling rope drives Wadjet), the water which took the form of a barque (that would be a part of Hapy, "the Great Runner" who reduced the friction between the sledge runners and the rails of the caisson), two crewmembers inside the Beetle and two other characters outside the Beetle.

In this configuration, this could really be a representation of the hauling Beetle in the P9 position, just after the Beetle has been hauled back to the top of the Grand Gallery: two teammates are still inside the gantry Beetle (that would be Mestet and Mestetef) and the Beetle is also maintained in a secured position by the two other characters who are still on the platform of the Grand Gallery (and that would be Petet and Thetet).

It would explain why these two characters (Petet and Thetet) look like they are completely laying their arms onto the structure of the Beetle: they are not pushing it, they are simply securing the Beetle.
