Djed

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Djed (disambiguation).
The djed, an ancient Egyptian symbol meaning 'stability', is the symbolic backbone of the god Osiris.

The djed, also djt (Ancient Egyptian: ḏd 𓊽, Coptic ϫⲱⲧ jōt "pillar", anglicized /dʒɛd/)[1] is one of the more ancient and commonly found symbols in ancient Egyptian religion. It is a pillar-like symbol in Egyptian hieroglyphs representing stability. It is associated with the creator god Ptah and Osiris, the Egyptian god of the afterlife, the underworld, and the dead. It is commonly understood to represent his spine.

Myth[edit]

In the Osiris myth, Osiris was killed by Set by being tricked into a coffin made to fit Osiris exactly. Set then had the coffin with the now deceased Osiris flung into the Nile. The coffin was carried by the Nile to the ocean and on to the city of Byblos in Lebanon. It ran aground and a sacred tree took root and rapidly grew around the coffin, enclosing the coffin within its trunk. The king of the land, intrigued by the tree's quick growth, ordered the tree cut down and installed as a pillar in his palace, unaware that the tree contained Osiris's body.

Meanwhile, Isis searched for Osiris aided by Anubis, and discovered Osiris's location in Byblos. Isis maneuvered herself into the favor of the king and queen and was granted a boon. She asked for the pillar in the palace hall, and upon being granted it, extracted the coffin from the pillar. She then consecrated the pillar, anointing it with myrrh and wrapping it in linen. This pillar came to be known as the pillar of djed.[2]

Spectroscopy in Theory aka Ψ Φ μθσιχ PSIPHI Musi~ch

  Theory [ edit ] The underlying premise of spectroscopy is that light is made of different wavelengths and that each wavelength corresponds to a different frequency. The importance of spectroscopy is centered around the fact that every element in the  periodic table  has a unique light spectrum described by the frequencies of light it emits or absorbs consistently appearing in the same part of the electromagnetic spectrum when that light is diffracted. This opened up an entire field of study with anything that contains atoms. Spectroscopy is the key to understanding the atomic properties of all matter. As such spectroscopy opened up many new sub-fields of science yet undiscovered. The idea that each atomic element has its unique spectral signature enabled spectroscopy to be used in a broad number of fields each with a specific goal achieved by different spectroscopic procedures. The  National Institute of Standards and Technology  maintains a public Atomic Spec...

  "The Golden Number is not the product of mathematical imagination  but the natural principle of the laws of equilibrium."  From averages established from measurements of the human body, it has been proved that the navel divides the total height of the body in the proportion of Φ to 1.  This formula is applied to classical Greek sculpture, and  in Egypt as well, except that in Egypt                                                             the crown of the head is excluded.  Let us recall, in this regard, the significance of the value Φ and  the geometric structure that defines  Φ. The value , or the Golden Number Φ , corresponds to the proportion    C / B = B / A                            when C = A + B  There i...
