[QUOTE]Originally posted by Brada-Anansi: [QB] Daidalos,Kothor,Ptah. what did these figures had in common?..answer they were all divine craft men...but did they have a common origin? lets take a look. Diadalos: In Greek mythology, Daedalus (Latin, also Hellenized Latin Daedalos, Greek Daidalos (Δαίδαλος) meaning "cunning worker", and Etruscan Taitle) was a most skillful architect, or artificer, or craftsman, so skillful that he was said to have invented images that seemed to move about.[1] Daedalus had two sons: Icarus and Iapyx, along with a nephew, whose name varies. He is first mentioned by Homer as the creator of a wide dancing-ground for Ariadne [2]. The Labyrinth on Crete in which the Minotaur (part man, part bull) was kept, was also created by the artificer Daedalus. The story of the labyrinth is told where Theseus is challenged to kill the Minotaur, finding his way with the help of Ariadne's thread. [IMG]http://press.princeton.edu/images/k5021.gif[/IMG] Kothar: Kothar Semitic deity also called Kothar-wa-Khasis (“skill-and-cunning”) (West Semitic: “skill”) Main ancient West Semitic god of crafts, equivalent of the Greek god Hephaestus. Kothar was responsible for supplying the gods with weapons and for building and furnishing their palaces. During the earlier part of the 2nd millennium bc, Kothar’s forge was believed to be on the biblical Caphtor (probably Crete), though later, during the period of Egyptian domination of Syria and Palestine, he was identified with the Egyptian god Ptah, patron of craftsmen, and his forge was thus located at Memphis in Egypt. According to Phoenician tradition, Kothar was also the patron of magic and inventor of magical incantations; in addition, he was believed to have been the first poet.

He was a creator god who brought all things to being by thinking of them with his mind and saying their names with his tongue. He was unique amongst Egyptian creation gods in that his methods were intellectual, rather than physical. According to the priests of Memphis, everything is the work of Ptah's heart and tongue: gods are born, towns are founded, and order is maintained. Ptah was also the patron god of skilled craftsmen and architects. This may be due to the excellent sources of limestone near his temple in in Memphis. As a craftsman, Ptah was said to have carved the divine bodies of the royalty. In Dynasty XIX, he was shown fashioning the body of Rameses II out of electrum.

Greek pyramid [IMG]http://www.coolimagebank.gr/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=5764&g2_serialNumber=3[/IMG] The Pyramids in the Peloponnesus Exerpt One: The three pyramids located in the Peloponnesus have recently been the center of a great deal of attention. This sudden interest is being shown not only by archaeologists and historians, but by the general public as well, both Greek and foreign. This is entirely justified because they concern the distant past of humanity as a whole. The astonishment one naturally experiences when seeing the pyramids of Egypt for the first time, is akin to the reaction of those who are told that their prototypes are most likely to be found in an obscure village near Argos in the Peloponnesus. This assertion -- which contradicts the misguided belief held by many that civilization proceeded from the East -- is bolstered by the concurrence that exists between the chronological assessment of these pyramids made by the prestigious Athens Academy, the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, and the historical information available to us from ancient sources: All of which have to do with when these structures were constructed, whether this architectural know-how was transferred to Egypt from Greece, and, if so, how. - Source [URL=http://www.thelivingmoon.com/.../Pyramids_World.html]www.thelivingmoon.com/.../Pyramids_World.html[/URL] Kouros statues [IMG]http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/greeks/art/sculpture/pictures/kleobisnbiton.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.richard-seaman.com/Travel/Egypt/Cairo/Museum/Tutankhamun/Statues/PairOfGildedStatues.jpg[/IMG] Remember Diadalos was said to have made the statues that seems to walk...notice the same manner as Kemetic statues. notice the clenched fist and one foot placed infront of the other in a walking motion.
