The Nubians called the crocodile "olom." Many Nilotic rulers took this creature as their totem. There many be a relationship to the Sotho, but I believe that would be much older than the dynasties of Egypt.Alice C.

Here they appear to correspond to constellations at a time when Thuban was the pole star. These are commonly found on African images, which suggests that this shrine in Turkey was influenced by Kushite religion or established by their migrating priests. We know that the ancient Kushites spread across the Levant and Mesopotamia, so this isn’t surprising.<br /><br />The great Giza Sphinx is a guardian of the royal tomb and like the pyramids, faces the rising Sun. There are numerous sphinxes in Egypt. Some sphinxes have ram heads. In Egyptian iconography 2 of these creatures are shown facing each other on the opposite banks of the Nile. These are clearly guardians of the Nile.Alice C.

Does this explain the antiquity of the Sphinx, it's ruling and/or priestly line and family that built it, and could it's creation at a point in time be a marker of boundaries or territory for that family? Are there any other totems of this type in the Afro-Asian dominion?Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12505517873442278318noreply@blogger.com
