[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] ^ I must agree with Rasol. The color black was sacred to the Egyptians who associated it with the divine hence Ahmose Nefertari depicted in black since here elevation to divine status. No 'earth' or 'soil' involved which is why it's funny to see the Eurocents spin about these crazy explanations even those which say the black color represents her "death". [b]LOL[/b] [/qb][/QUOTE]Why was black divine and how did the Egyptians represent the divinity of blackness in their cosmology? I just GAVE you a passage from the Medu Neter showing CLEARLY that Osiris is the "Great Black" ROUND EARTH and symbolic of the LIFE FORCE of the earth AND UNIVERSE (the great circle) as maintained through the SEED, which is SYMBOLIC of the KINGSHIP of the COUNTRY ITSELF. So can you not read? [QUOTE] 627b. Lift (him up who is) greater than thou, said they, in thy name of "He of the Great Land Nome." [/QUOTE]The Great Land Nome is the 8th nome of Upper Egypt or ABYDOS. Abydos is the Nome of Osiris and is the location where many rites and rituals central to the Osirian drama were carried out. The name says it all. [QUOTE] 628a. Thy two sisters Isis and Nephthys come to thee; they heal thee 628b. complete and great, in thy name of "Great Black," 628c. fresh and great, in thy name of "Great Green." [/QUOTE]Right here, you have two references, one to "great black" as meaning what and then "Great Green". Now what does great black and great green in reference to the SAME deity? Not to forget that the FATHER of Osiris is MIN who is almost ALWAYS depicted as a BLACK MALE with an erect penis representing FERTILITY. THAT RIGHT THERE shows the connection between blackness, the earth, the seed and HUMAN BEINGS. Osiris is the Ka or SPIRIT of the life force of th EARTH ITSELF. And that Ka or LIFE FORCE is manifested in human form as the GREAT BLACK, which is THE EARTH PERSONIFIED, the RISEN SEED of the earth, the FIRST FORM to emerge from the time of FIRST CREATION from the SACRED MOUND that arose in.... guess where? INNER AFRICA. Ahmose Nefertari is almost always shown as black because SHE is the mother of the Dynastic line, with her color meaning the renewal of the royal line, meaning the rebirth of the dynastic seed and the ascension of SOUTHERNERS to the throne of Egypt, after a period of chaos and death caused by the foreigners. This strong black symbolism is ALSO seen in the 11th dynasty when Mentuhotep reigned after a long season of death (actual droughts) and conflict in Egypt and surrounded himself with BLACK WOMEN (kemsit) in order to ENSURE the renewal and rebirth of the BLACK SEED and the health of the country. The IRONY here is that mostly MALES are considered as the defenders and protectors of the womb and the seed of life and hence depicted as the black Earth and seed of Osiris and the FATHER of the dynasty. However, Ahmose Nefertari is unique in this respect AS A WOMAN she becomes symbolic of the dynasty itself and the POWERFUL FORCE of the restoration and regeneration of the royal line and the seed of the throne and the defense of this institution. All you guys do is talk about Eurocentrism when Egyptian cosmology existed thousands of years before such a thing was thought about. The "black Queen" Ahmose Nefertari is a parallel to the legendary "white Queen" of various European cultures. They BOTH represent ancestry and ties to geographical origins, with the "white queen" representing white skin, the white snow and the cold environment that PRODUCES such people, whereas Ahmose Nefertari represents EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE, black skin, the black earth and the environment that produces such people.
