[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] Amenhotep III / Luxor: Climbing the pole of Min (Maypole): [IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3589/3378373461_9ed22a0b5c_b.jpg[/IMG] http://www.flickr.com/photos/manna4u/3378373461/ [QUOTE] The original meaning of the Maypole dates back to the spring fertility festivals of India and Egypt. The Maypole was decorated with flowers and streamers. The streamers were held by dancers who circled the pole, weaving a pattern as they passed each other during the dance. The pole represents the masculine principle of nature whereas the wreath represents the feminine principle.
