Ancient Egyptian Holidays...

 

 

 

(Ancient) Egyptian Holidays:

November 26 is TutMas (the opening of Tutankhamon’s tomb in Egypt)

Tutmas is celebrated as a Festival of Tutankhamon.  You may light incense, play music, and a ritual opening of a Cabinet with placement of statues of Tutankhamon on display. 

This year in 2020 is the same day as Thanksgiving Day in USA.  Turkeys did not exist in Egypt (they had Ostriches).  Chickens were popular in the later Ptolemaic Dynasty (Cleopatra VII).  

QRSTMAS (Egyptian Christmas) is celebrated over 40 days (the time it took to produce an Egyptian Mummy) starting on Winter Solstice (Dec. 20).  Not to confuse this with Christmas in the so-called Christian religion, QRSTMAS is a funerary holiday, where participants visit tombs and honor the ancestral dead and their Ka Chapels (giving offerings to the Souls of the departed). 

Erecting a Djed Pillar is a holiday of honoring Lord Osiris, replaced by erecting a Christmas Tree.  It is celebrated on the birthday of Osiris, Dec. 21.  Osiris was entombed in a decorated box that had his exact bodily measurements (See Cinderella) that was drowned in the Nile by Seth and found on the shores of the Nile Delta entangled in a Pine Tree.   The tree was cut down as a Djed Pillar. 

New Year’s Day is the Festival of Sakhmet, celebrated on January 1, by exchanging gifts, burning Incense and playing music.

Jeopardy TV Show Host - Who is Alex Trebek? RIP 2020.

 

 

  Jeopardy TV Show Host, Alex Trebek, has died of Pancreatic Cancer at the age of 80 years.  I had watched every show since he started with Jeopardy, and he was even featured on the cover of "Worldwide Treasure Bureau" in the 1990s ( a collector catalog). 

 Trebek began hosting “Jeopardy!” in 1984 and has been praised for his composure and wit. He was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

Trebek also holds the Guinness World Record for “Most Game Show Episodes Hosted by the Same Presenter” at more than 8,000 episodes.

    May his Akh enjoy the "peace and love" of Pet/Heaven.  

   

007

 

 

 Actor Sean Connery, famous for the "James Bond 007" Films, died of Dementia/Old Age at 90 while in his home in the Bahamas by the morning of Oct. 31, 2020.  I have watched every Bond film at least twice, and the Indiana Jones film with him in it (the Last Crusade), along with the Hunt for Red October, The Highlander films, etc.  I have photos of  him in his younger roles from Hollywood.  You could say my later life was modeled on his roles (M7) as they were influential.  I was hoping he would last another 10 years, but Dementia doesn't care about length of time.  Yes there is a golf course in Duat/Pet.  I know because I had it built there.
