AFTER leaving Alexandria, the first important stop for Antinous on the Nile journey in September 130 AD was at Heliopolis, the ancient center of the worship of Re, the sun god.
The Heliopolitan cosmology states that the universe is created when the Atum (first principle) masturbates and creates himself as the sun god Re, the visible manifestation of the Atum, and then rises up from the primordial waters in the form of a mound.
Re then gives birth to the Enneads, the Nine beings who create the cosmos: Shu (air) and Tefnut (fire), Geb (Earth), Nut (Sky), Osiris and Isis, Seth and Nepthys who together are the principles of life.
The creator, Re-Harakhte, travels across the sky on his Boat of Millions of Years every day, and then as it submerges beneath the horizon, Re-Harakhte battles against death and evil, and is greeted triumphantly each morning by the priests of Heliopolis.
Antinous was admitted into these mysteries, and gained a place by the side of Re-Harakhte on his sacred boat, according to the hieroglyphs on the Obelisk of Antinous.
The glyphs state that Antinous can "assume any form his heart desires, because the semen of the First God TRULY is in his body."
When Hadrian and Antinous visited Heliopolis, they were no doubt shown the sacred shrine of the Bennu bird, who was said to have burst forth in a shower of radiant light from the heart of the First God.
This is the same First God who ejaculated into his own mouth to utter the words of creation at the moment of Sep Tepy, the Creation Moment. Other versions say he ejaculated in great arcs which created all the other deities and the entire universe.
Then on October 11th, a few days after visiting the Sacred Shrine of the Phoenix in Heliopolis (and acquiring that virulent bit of spellwork), Hadrian and Antinous visited Oxyrhynchus and heard of the fabled phallus of Osiris.
And a couple of weeks later, Hadrian cradled the limp body of Antinous on the shores of the Nile. The body was limp like a marionette whose strings had been cut.
Hadrian "wept like a woman" and refused to accept oblivion for his Beloved Boy. Instead, he proclaimed Antinous a god and set about making sure that the Religion of Antinous took root and blossomed.
The Obelisk of Antinous speaks of Antinous being full of the "Semen of the First God" which is the creative force of the universe.
That means Antinous can assume "any form his heart desires" since he (like Osiris) is one with the First God — and one with the Bennu Bird.
Antinous IS the Phoenix.
This is a little jaded here... but funny none the less. Ausar is the soul of Ra and the souls of all nTr-u. The mouth of Neb-er-tcher is the vaginal of Tefnut or Nut. This is why you see the Kopera beetle next to her vaginal in the Dendera temple and Senenmut's tomb. The efflux or seamen from any nTr or "God" is showing the fathering of something or Heka creative force not gay sexual acts which the Greeks and Romans sometimes referred to in their perversions so we can separate those ideas now.
ReplyDeleteIt is said Hadrian was a sissy and if this Antonious is his gay lover than they have twisted the story to fit their lovers triangle it's not a reflection of what the story means at all. Two men making a story twisted for their own love affair is not the true reasoning or meaning behind Atum Ra fathering the nTr-u.
