Ancient egyptian Quote by Ibrahim Ibrahim
““The linear zodiac of Dendera is different from the circular one in that it emphasizes the cosmic role that Mars plays in ancient Egyptian theology and hence calendrically incorporates Mars' behavior into the zodiac. The face of Hathor with the birth of the Sun signal the arrival of the Summer Solstice - hence the lineal cut on the circular zodiac. This theological implication confirms Laird Scranton's work that something must have happened which led civilizations to change their calendars by applying additional epagomenal days, but it differs in the chronology since I provided new evidence based on my work that the zodiacs of Dendera are not from the Ptolemaic period (as claimed by academia) but rather much older than that. Therefore, this does not go against Scranton's thesis but puts it in the context of an anticipated Prophecy that eventually took place in history.””
