PHARAOH’S SPHINX FOUND IN ISRAEL STIRS 4,500-YEAR MYSTERY
Gwen Ackerman -
Jul 10, 2013
The clawed feet of an ancient sphinx engraved with a
hieroglyphic inscription and belonging to a pyramid-building pharaoh
shows evidence of Egyptian influence in the biblical state of Canaan,
archaeologists said.
“Beloved by the divine
manifestation ... that gave him eternal life,” reads the inscription
that Hebrew University archaeologists say indicates the sphinx
originally came from the ancient city of Heliopolis, or the biblical
city of On, just north of modern Cairo.
The sculpture was found at a northern Israeli site in Tel Hazor National park, with a mystery on how it got there and speculation it was part of an exchange of gifts. The sphinx bears the name of Egyptian king Mycerinus, who ruled about 4,500 years ago and was one of the builders of the famous Giza pyramids, the university said in a statement.
The front feet of the sphinx were discovered in the destruction layer of the Hazor Canaanite palace that dates back to the 13th century BCE, about 3,300 years ago.
“This shows the close ties between the Canaanite king and the Egyptian pharaoh,” university archaeologist Sharon Zuckerman said. “We know that during the period that the Canaanite palace existed, the supreme rulers were the Egyptians.”
The sphinx, the only one of its kind ever found belonging to this specific pharaoh, has tremendous importance to Egyptologists researching the age of the pharaohs, she said.
Hazor is the largest biblical-era site in Israel, covering some 200 acres (81 hectares). It has been recognized as a World Heritage Site by Unesco. The biblical book of Joshua cites Hazor, built on the route between Egypt and Babylon and home to 20,000 people, as the “head of all those kingdoms.”
“The find strengthens the fact and is evidence of how important Hazor was in the late Bronze Age,” Zuckerman said. “The fact that such a royal artifact arrived at Hazor and came apparently as an exchange of gifts shows that Hazor was without a doubt a significant kingdom.”
Muse highlights include Catherine Hickley on German art, Ryan Sutton in New York restaurants, Greg Evans on TV and Stephanie Green’s Scene in D.C.

COULD THIS BE PROOF OF REINCARNATION?
Is
reincarnation what happens to us when we die? This fascinating video
showed up in the mainstream media and so I thought it would be good to
share. The story is about a little boy who vividly remembers a previous
incarnation of being a soldier in World War II and how he had died. From
the information provided it is very difficult to deny this as being
true. I think it is amazingly powerful for people to see and understand
that the current life that we are living is not the only one we have
ever had, or will ever have.
This story significantly shows how we
can carry memory and emotional attachments to these memories of lives
that we have lived at any time on this planet, and even other planets,
and also how it affects our current lives in how we perceive, create and
experience everything.
There is also very key points shown in
the clip of how the little boy being a soul, remembers that he CHOSE the
family that he incarnated with. It’s showing us that we choose
everything for our greater good so that we can grow and move forward in
our soul evolution. The soul has no judgement towards experiences such
as the family that it chooses to incarnate through because it is a
choice.
If you do not believe in reincarnation
that is perfectly ok. If you do, here is confirmation of your truth. As
things are shifting within our experience here, more stuff like this
will come to surface as we are making the choices to assist one another
in awakening ourselves to the truth that we all deserve to know and long
for. Ride the wave of change!
