Talk:Djed

Andjet and Andjeti

why only mention Osiris and Ptah and Tatenen? This seems a bit blinkered. Surely Andjeti means "he of Andjet" and Andjet means "place of the Djed". It is my understanding that Andjet (Greek Busiris) was originally a cult centre of Andjeti and preceding the cult of Osiris (by whom he was later assimilated). Thus the reference to "ancient cattle culture" should be directed to Andjeti (rather than Osiris) who was originally a god from the ancient semi-nomad society and was the patron of domesticated animals.

Essay

This article seems to have a speculative essay feel to it at the moment. Readers want to know wat a Djed is, not the beliefs of a couple of esoteric scholars into spermo-gnosisMerkinsmum 22:51, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree: they seem to have lost the plot entirely here (see also my comment above) The Lesser Merlin (talk) 11:40, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

meaning of the djed pillar

the djed pillar is a symbol of the earth axis. Look at the picture from abydos, the pillar got there an angle of round about 23°, check it yourself. It is the backbone of osiris as the constellation sah (orion) because sah is wandering up and down as part of the precession cycle. at the time of osiris the calendar was changed as plutarch shows in his about isis and osiris. that was necessary because something had happened to the axis of the earth as plutarch as well as berossos and the indian rigveda show. it would be good if you would try to understand ancient thinking and depiction--87.152.248.232 (talk) 12:06, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
