The 8th: Sun Shrine
When thinking about the characteristics of a civilization, the first thing that comes to mind are the various ruins and literature left above ground, along with the geographical factor.
There is a more important element: their way of thinking.
What were their thoughts when things were being made? Also, how was the value perceived and what did they believe in?
Without knowing the person’s true thoughts, the interpretation of the structures left behind may change.
Take the famous Tower of Babel, for example.
If you didn’t have any background information on the faith that the tower of Babel was based on, you wouldn’t know if the tower was built for war against the gods, to be equal with the gods or to show their faith to the gods.
The Egyptian’s view of life, especially death, is unique compared to other civilizations.
For example, the two goddesses indicate space itself–what the ship with the Sun God enter the body of the Goddesses–liken to movement of the sun to reborn.
Moreover, the Egyptian’s created the mummification technique–so that people’s souls can return to their bodies after death.
Life is dealt with a limited resource within most civilizations. The belief where souls remain and transfer to an another thing like the samsara of Buddhism, or the belief which people could live in the other world like Middle Eastern beliefs and so on.
But within the Egyptian civilization it was believed that souls would journey on in the afterlife and return to their bodies.
This is a thought of living beyond the limitations of life, of wanting immortality. Because they were a huge civilization, maybe that’s why the thought of prosperity lasting forever took root.
Now then, about the Sun Shrine which is the lecture this time, this is yet another intriguing topic.
At the end of the last lecture I said to review the Egyptian civilization, but the Sun Shrine is strangely similar to the Egyptian civilization.
Ofcourse, based on what was covered in the lectures up until now, this could be the source for the Egyptian civilization.
Which means even if it’s seen from inside the La-Mulana ruins, it could be believed that the Sun Shrine was built by humans from unique civilizations.
Compared to other areas, the building is large.
It can be said that it’s the core of the La-Mulana ruins and several other areas are connected there.
I’m not sure if it’s for that reason, but the tombstones have records of various lands and civilizations.
Let’s just say it’s the central point when exploring the La-Mulana ruins.
Now then, let’s look in more details.
When you hear the word Egypt you probably think of pyramids.
There are the pyramids which were built with large stones and it still remains a mystery as to how they were moved and built. They have unique gods which are not shared with any other civilizations. Furthermore, the Pyramid power, correspondence with physical relationship and number of astronomical bodies and so on.
The civilization is fascinating enough so that it’s covered in many novels and movies.
There is also a large pyramid in the Sun Shrine.
It’s a little bit different in style from the pyramids of Egypt, but the technology that made the huge space under the ground and constructed the huge pyramid inside it is terrific.
The great column’s room which is a reminder of the Temple of Karnak is worth seeing.
At the top of this pyramid is a large relief with the pattern of a sun. That is the reason why this area is called the Sun Shrine.
This relief is more similar to the Indian art style rather than the Egyptian civilization.
At the last lecture I showed the mural at the entrance of the ruins which displayed the Sun Pyramid.
If you simply look at this picture, could it be that the Sun pyramid could lead to a path of the upside down Moon pyramid?
Of course I have found that path and have seen the Moon pyramid, but that path was hidden in a surprising place.
In the future when La-Mulana ruins becomes open to the public please check it out.
I’m not going to give that information away in this lecture especially after narrowly escaping death.
Taking action is the number one rule for archaeology! See it with your own eyes.
What draws attention next to the pyramid is the large statues of gods.
If you have reviewed the Egyptian civilization, then you should know the names of these gods and how they look.
Mountains of inscriptions are hidden in the room with the statue of Tutu who is the God of books.
Several Gods related to death line up around the Sun pyramid.
In this way, gods who are related to puzzles of the room are located.
The names of the gods are the same as the gods left in the Egyptian civilizations.
It seems that the myths were carried deep within the people’s souls since the names remain unchanged through generations across civilizations.
Definitely, there are several episodes where it’s believed that Egyptian myths were the source for Greek myths. The immortal bird Phoenix is also told about as the Bennu bird in Egyptian myths, and the impression of anaffectionate mother represented as Holy Mother Mary came from the Isis Goddess.
In the magnificent ruins where you can feel the roots from an Egyptian civilization, there is one strange thing.
This appears to resemble a vehicle. It does look like a coffin from the Egyptian civilization, but because there are wheels on it, I can see that this is not a coffin. It’s made to look like it, but it is clearly something not from the Sun Shrine civilization and I believe it was created in a later era.
Regardless of the Sun Shrine, there is evidence of repairs inside most of the ruins that I believe were done in a later era.
I believe that those who understood the ruins tinkered with it for some purpose.
At the last lecture I mentioned that someone is watching over the entire ruins.
It’s no surprise that someone is waiting who has the power to solve all of the puzzles in the ruins.
This is the story of the first time I learned of the view of life and death from the unique Egyptian civilization, but unfortunately there is not much evidence left of the Sun Shrine. The tombstones are mostly written by people of a later era and not by anyone who built the Sun Shrine.
But there is a device which means birth of life inside the pyramid. When you see the whole La-Mulana puzzles that I lecture about from now on, life-and-death issue of the civilization which built the Sun Shrine comes to light.
Actually, this civilization searched for immortality to escape death, but instead brought upon a technique to create life.
Hm, getting interested right? But I’ll save the details for a later lecture.
Until then, be sure to attend all of my lectures without skipping class!
