最后的审判 (500) 古埃及"食人赞美诗"Utt. 173-4 解读

日月同辉有其中

The Dead King Hunts & Eats the Gods


The sky is overcast,
The stars are darkened,
The celestial expanses quiver,
The bones of the earth-gods tremble,
The planets are stilled,
For they have seen the King appearing in power
As a god who lives on his fathers
And feeds on his mothers;
The King is a master of wisdom
Whose mother knows not his name.
The glory of the King is in the sky,
His power is in the horizon
Like his father Atum who begot him.
He begot the King,
And the King is mightier than he.
The King's powers are about him,
His qualities are under his feet,
His gods are upon him,
His uraei are on the crown of his head,
The King's guiding serpent is on his brow,
Even that which sees the soul,
Efficient for burning;
The King' neck is on his trunk.
The King is the Bull of the sky,
Who conquers at will,
Who lives on the being of every god,
Who eats their entrails,
Even of those who come with their bodies full of magic
From the Island of Fire.
The King is one equipped,
Who assembles his spirits;
The King has appeared as the Great One,
A possessor of helpers;
He sits with his back to Geb,
For it is the King who will give judgment
In company with Him whose name is hidden
On that day of slaying the Oldest Ones.
The King is a possessor of offerings who knots the cord
And who himself prepares his meal;
The King is one who eats men and lives on the gods,
A possessor of porters who dispatches messages;
It is Grasper-of-topknots who is Kehau
Who lassos them for the King;
It is the Serpent with raised head
Who guards them for him
And restrains them for him;
It is He who is over the blood-offering
Who binds them for him;
It is Khons who slew the lords
Who strangles them for the King
And extracts for him what is in their bodies,
For he is the messenger whom the King sends to restrain.
It is Shezmu who cuts them up for the King
And who cooks for him a portion of them
On his evening hearthstones.
It is the King who eats their magic
And gulps down their spirits;
Their big ones are for his morning meal,
Their middle-sized ones are for his evening meal,
Their little ones are for his night meal,
Their old men and their old women are for his incense-burning.
It is the Great Ones in the north of the sky
Who set the fire for him
To the cauldrons containing them
With the thighs of their oldest ones,
Those who are in the sky serve the King,
And the hearthstones are wiped over for him
With the feet of their women.
He has traveled around the whole of the two skies,
He has circumambulated the Two Banks,
For the King is a great Power
Who has power over the Powers;
The King is a sacred image,
The most sacred of the sacred images of the Great One,
And whomsoever he finds in his way,
Him he devours piecemeal.
The King's place is at the head
Of all the august ones who are in the horizon,

For the King is a god, older than the oldest.
Thousands serve him,
Hundreds offer to him,
There is given to him a warrant as Great Power
By Orion, father of the gods.

The King has appeared again in the sky,
He is crowned as Lord of the horizon;
He has broken the backbones
And has taken the hearts of the gods;
He has eaten the Red Crown*,
He has swallowed the Green One.
The King feeds on the lungs of the Wise Ones**,
And is satisfied with living on hearts and their magic;
The King revolts against licking the...
Which are in the Red Crown.
He enjoys himself when their magic is in his belly;
The King's dignities shall not be taken away from him,
For he has swallowed the intelligence of every god.
The King's lifetime is eternity,
His limit is everlastingness
In this his dignity of:
"If he wishes, he does;
If he dislikes, he does not,"
Even he who is at the limits of the horizon forever and ever.
See, their souls are in the King's belly,
Their spirits are in the King's possession
As the surplus of his meal out of the gods
Which is cooked for the King out of their bones.***
See, their souls are in the King's possession,
Their shades are removed from their owners,
While the King is this one who ever appears and endures,
And the doers of (ill) deeds have no power to destroy
The favorite place of the King among those who live in this land
Forever and ever.

The Cannibal Hymn forms a self-standing episode in the ritual anthology that makes up the Pyramid Texts, first appearing in the tomb of Unas at the end of the Fifth Dynasty. Its style and format are characteristic of the oral-recitational poetry of pharaonic Egypt, marked by allusive metaphor and the exploitation of wordplay and homophony in its verbal recreation of a butchery ritual. Christopher Eyre examines the text of the Cannibal Hymn in its performative and cultural context: the detailed mythologization of the sacrificial process in this hymn poses key questions about the nature of rites of passage and rituals of sacrifice in Egypt, and in particular about the mobilization of oral accompaniment to ritual actions.  (Excerpted from: "The Cannibal Hymn: A Cultural and Literary Study")

这里涉及到一个问题，如果不弄懂它，就陷入了误区。这个问题是：

死去的君王难道变成了食人族了吗？并且一个死去的君王能够战胜群神吗？
答案：完全不合逻辑。


题目可以稍加变形为：
The Dead His Majesty Hunts & Eats Madly the Gods

直译为：死去的君王追杀并狂吃群神(的肉)

死去的君（截取口上部分）王追杀（取后三笔画）并（截取右下竖重合到左上边，截取下撇放到上面，取上面的撇点分放下面；并字又音：bīng）狂吃群（截取左半边上半部）神（截取金文、小篆左半边示的下半部）的肉（经过“撕去、吃掉”寓意的动作，剩下了：仌，音：bīng）


显然，标题本身就是一个文字字谜。如果继续读下去，就会发现它们是用密语写成的。

因與自己的妹妹努特形影不離而導致世間生物沒有生存的空間，於是其父親空氣之神舒受到太陽神拉的命令，將兩位戀人分開，故埃及壁畫中常可看到，以四肢罩著大地形成天空的女神與平躺形成大地的蓋布被兩人的父親舒以跪姿分開，也因此在部分地區的神話中也視回音為蓋布呼喚分開愛妻的呼喚。（维基百科）

Comment: Who dare to see universe as someone's belly or cauldron? Except of the One only.


回过头来，再来看隐藏在金字塔群中胡夫金字塔当中的国王墓室，它是一个字谜。


回想一下：当面对国王墓穴，会发现（含见：Jian）国王的墓（mu）穴（xue）的左上（shang）角部分被（故意）消掉了一个角。截取王字补到（嫁接到）角字当中的左上角，取左半边所含的那个字；取“少了一角”中少了最后一笔画的字；以上合并了两个字的含义，取这句话的关键字“并(又音：bīng)”，截取右下竖嫁接到左上竖出头，截取下撇放到上面，取上面撇点分放下面 —— 是第三字。（以上用的是中国人姓名的习惯顺序）

对所谓“吃人(cannibal)”的几种理解：

(1)
如果金字塔不是陵墓，裡面那個石棺究竟是什麼| 老高與小茉Mr ...

以上视屏中主持人所说，“研究古埃及壁画发现：古夫金字塔中的国王石棺又叫做食肉者，吃肉的东西。就是说把尸体放进去，尸体就会消失，好想被它吃掉一样。壁画里说，把法老放到这个肉食者的石棺里，法老就会重生。”—— 按照这种说法，那么这个“肉食者”，指的是“国王石棺”。而"食人赞美诗"，指的是“死而复生赞美诗”。


(2)

注意那个女埃及考古专家所说的关于制作木乃伊的过程。根据这个说法，可以认为，"食人赞美诗"中提到的“the king has taken the hearts of the gods”，“eats their entrails”，指的是为了得到重生在制作木乃伊时取出这些内脏的动作，就像是要拿去献祭一般。


(3)
这是一个对“群”字拆解的中英藏字字谜。
群，君+羊，Jun,lamb and sheep,(复)s.  一个死去(撕去)的君王把其他的王（王在羊字中）像羊一样地追杀并吃掉：消(Xiao)灭掉群字右半边的羊代表的人(取灭组合肉中的肉：仌，音：bīng)形上帝后，闭上口，剩下的是那个君上(部分，音：Yin)。（以上用的是西方姓名习惯顺序）


(4)
结合以上三种解释。



对照《约翰福音》第六章 （节选）

51 我是从天上降下来生命的粮，人若吃这粮，就必永远活着。我所要赐的粮就是我的肉，为世人之生命所赐的。”
52 因此，犹太人彼此争论说：“这个人怎能把他的肉给我们吃呢？” 53 耶稣说：“我实实在在地告诉你们：你们若不吃人子的肉，不喝人子的血，就没有生命在你们里面。 54 吃我肉、喝我血的人就有永生，在末日我要叫他复活。 55 我的肉真是可吃的，我的血真是可喝的。 56 吃我肉、喝我血的人常在我里面，我也常在他里面。 57 永活的父怎样差我来，我又因父活着，照样，吃我肉的人也要因我活着。 58 这就是从天上降下来的粮。吃这粮的人就永远活着，不像你们的祖宗吃过吗哪还是死了。” 59 这些话是耶稣在迦百农会堂里教训人说的。

51  I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world." 52  The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?" 53  Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54  Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55  For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. 56  He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57  As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58  This is the bread which came down from heaven--not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever." 59  These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.


同理，以上说的与食人没并无关系，而是偈语字谜。如第55句中的“血真”可重组一个发音bīng的字。第56句“吃我肉、喝我血的人常在我里面，我也常在他里面”，说的是肉字“里面”的仌，音：bīng；而饼正是它的谐音，“饼子”当然可以吃啦。而喝的东西里都有水，氵的发音是水，如果横看氵，象形“小” 字。因此，我的（名字）里面既有“小”字，又有“饼子”。如果读者你完全你吃透了它的意思，就是你完全懂了它的意思。（吃透的意思是：chī tòu理解透彻；见：查查汉语词典 - 查查在线词典）

The Dead King Hunts & Eats the Gods (Excerpt)

And the hearthstones are wiped over for him
With the feet of their women.
He has traveled around the whole of the two skies,
He has circumambulated the Two Banks,
For the King is a great Power
