"*/THE OBVERSE SIDE OF NARMER’S PALETTE
THE BULL INTERPRETATIONS:/*"

From /Egyptian Civilization Its Sumerian origin & Real Chronology And
Sumerian origin of Egyptian Hieroglyphs/, by Louis A. Waddell, copyright
1933.
Louis Waddell states that the Mesopotamian /Naram/ was called "*//The
Wild Bull Lord//*."
On his page 84-86, it claims that in Egypt King Narmer’s name is from
two hieroglyphic signs: *//Nar//* and *//Mar//*.

* */First/*) *//Nar//* (Egyptian "/monster fish/," "/cuttle fish/.")

Waddell shows in *Fig. 16*, top *Fig. 15* and *17*) the fish
sign in Sumerian is "/Pish/" or "/Fish/" or defined as "/mighty
fish/," the Babylonian god of war or death is named /*/Ner/*/ or
*//Nar//* in Sumerian. The Egyptian /Narh/ (? Nahr) is also a god
of death. (Nergal, /nur’-gal/, Heb. /nare-gal’/, of foreign
origin, a Cuthite deity, Cuth or Cuthah, a province of Assyria.).

Naram or Narama, both ending in Am or Ama, designating his as
"/The Wild Bull/" as in "/strong lord/" or "/warrior/."

o Bull came from the colossal man-headed Bull-gods of Babylonia.
o Narmer uses the Wild Bull seen on the Egyptian victory
palette (*Plate XII* and *Fig. 15* and *17*) man-faced Bulls
and a wild bull destroying the citadel of his foes. The Bull
is also figured beside him on his great stone mace-head.
o Since there is no Egyptian word for *Am* or *Ama* "/Bull/"
or "/Wild Bull/" or "/strong lord/," King *Naram* changed
his name to *Nar-mar*. 
* */Second/*) *//Mar//* is a pictograph of a *drill* or *borer*, if
derived from the Sumerian /Mar/ sign for a drill. The Egyptian
/Mar/ means "/hero/," pictured as the hieroglyph, sign of a drill,
this same sign in Sumerian means "/pierce, throw down, destroy/,"
like a Wild Bull. 

Waddell continues on page 92, as the */Obverse/* has the same */Bull
emblems/* and name above, shows the king, with the tall Sumerian and
Hittite hat, grasping the forelock of his enemy with the left hand, and
with uplifted mace in his right hand preparing to strike his foe, and
behind him is his */body servant/*.

* In front is the Sun-Hawk hooking the captured enemy by the nose;
* and the */six plants/* are supposed to represent the hieroglyphs
of */6000/*, as indicating the number of captives.
* Behind the */captive/* is the hieroglyph of his */name/*.
* And in the bottom compartment are */two fleeing foes/*." 

Waddell continues on page 98-99, "/The personal name of the captive,
*/Magan/* chief in a kneeling posture, with his forelock grasped by the
king with uplifted mace, is /*enclosed*/ within a /*rectangular panel*/.
Above the panel is the Sumerian sign "*The Man*" (Wulu). The /*King of
Magan*/ is known in Mesopotamia as "*Mannu-(?) Dan*." This is so minute
that a lens is required to see it on the Palette, the name appears to
read "*Ma-nun-dan*/." He is pictured as an aboriginal type, with large
broad Negroid nose, long matted and woolly hair, naked except for a loin
string.

From /Egypt’s Making The Origins of Ancient Egypt 5000-2000 B.C./, by
Michael Rice, copyright 1990.
Michael Rice claims in his book in Chapter 3 page 106-107, "/The
great votive */palette/* of */King Narmer/*, first King of the First
Dynasty who is probably to be identified with the near legendary
*/Menes/*, */the Unifier/*. Narmer’s Palette found at the /temple of
Hierakonpolis// (Hawk City), /was laid up in the Falcon capital as an
act of piety by a victorious king. It contains many Mesopotamian design
elements of early Susian/ (Elam), /as seen on the long neck serpopards/."
Then on page 107-108, "/*/Obverse/*/: (Plate 55a pg. 157 /The Crown of
Upper Egypt) King as ruler of the southern kingdom, wears the /*high
white crown*// (Upper Egypt)."

* "/Behind the king is his /*sandal-bearer*/, a /*high dignitary*/,
possibly his son, who is identified by a /*rosette*/ (/*seven
petalled*/) the divine or royal emblem/."
* The king is in the /*act of striking*/ a */kneeling captive/*
(defeated princes of the north).
* Above him */Horus/* (Falcon) himself brings to the King */6000
captive/* from the Marshes. The representations are surmounted by
two Hathor heads (which shows how ancient the worship of the
goddess was in that form). 

Michael Rice in Chapter 3 page 138 shows that, "/Connection with
Sinai and Palestine with one detail of /*Narmer’s Palette*/, curious
object identified as a ‘*/desert kite/*,’ an enigmatic category of
structure which is found in the Sinai and in the */Palestinian
deserts/*, also typical of the northern Arabian desert. The ‘kites,’
long line of stones, interpreted as the remains of corrals or traps for
animals, thought to date to the end of the fourth millennium/."

Rice continues on page 107-108, "/The /*King’s name*/, are syllables
of crude glyphs for /*chisel*/ and /*catfish*/. The royal name is also
contained within the palace facade /*serekh*// (the unification
princes)." Then on page 114-115 he states, "/Narmer is
"/*Catfish-Chisel*/" or "/*The Falcon Catfish-Chisel*/" is more or less
what his name and title mean. He was founder of the First Thinite
Dynasty and reigned 64 years, the term attributed to him by Manetho/."

Statue head of the god Min

This limestone head, from Abydos, is a disturbing piece; the King (or
god, for it has been suggested that it is from a statue of the
Ithyphallic *Min*) has a distinctly epicene and decadent look about it,
not as all like the clear-cut figure who appears on the great palette.
However the rather long upper lip and wide-set eyes do strongly recall
the portrait of Narmer on his great palette and of the young attendant,
perhaps the King’s heir, who is portrayed with him.

Egyptologists agree that Menes must have entered Upper Egypt by the
Red Sea, to the east of Koptos (Coptos) and Abydos. At Koptos exists the
oldest known statues of a god in Egypt (three gigantic limestone figures
of Min).

* */Min/* would appear to be the deified /*Menes*/ (Min or Man, the
twin Sun-gods of the Sumerians, Aryans and Phoenicians) and seen
as associated with Qadesh and Reseph (/Resheph/).
* */Min/*, (also /Minu, Menu/) was another form of Amun worshipped
at Coptos (trading) and Panopolis (white bull at the games of the
Greeks and compared to Pan). He wore the plumed head-dress of Amun
and holds a whip-like scepter. He also holds his erect phallus in
his left hand. In Egypt he was a Ithyphallic god of sex. His
ancient symbol was the thunderbolt and considered as the creator
of the world as another form of Horus.
* The Greek */Pan/* was an Arcadian god of the wild, herds and male
sexuality. He was half man and half goat, some claim that Hermes
was his father. He conquered Selene, goddess of the moon, the
nymph Pitys, and the nymph Syrinx (her father was Ladon, a river).
He was a bearded, horned man with the lower limbs of a goat. Often
confused with Satyrs.
* To the Romans this was *Silvanus* also *Sylvanus* a god of forests
(woods), fields, and herding.

The figure below right is the *Palette of Narmer* in the Cairo
Museum. The object under Horus (/Hawk/) is a symbol indicating Horus is
bringing the King (/Narmer/) 6000 captives from the marshes. There are
Hathor heads on the stems representing the captives.
Palette of Narmer the Obverse Side

"//*King Scorpion*/ writes /his name in the area between the falcon
and the palace facade/, and thereby describes himself as ‘/*Horus
Scorpion*/.’ As a result of this initiative, /*Scorpion*/ and his
successors emerge from prehistoric anonymity, and the god becomes a
specific Horus, a Horus X, who in the person of the reigning pharaoh
plays a role in the historical world of spatial and temporal
particulars. Just as the god Horus will always exist, so too will the
‘Horus in the palace,’ the king. But unlike *the god, Horus Scorpion*
and *Horus Narmer* are historical entities, who exist only once, as
indicated in inscriptions of later pharaohs that speak of a king '‘who
in all eternity will not be repeated/.' "

One *star name* <../InsertFour/ScorpiusStarChart.htm#Arabic> of the
constellation Scorpius is Greek letter of Theta and Star name Girtab
which is a /very old Sumerian/ word for *"scorpion"* (more rarely it is
called /*Sargas*/, another Sumerian word). It is definitely the Sumerian
word for the constellation Scorpius. Is this a reference to the original
*Sargon of Akkad* (/Agade/) before 3200-3000 B.C.? Well before Sargon I
of 2400 B.C.

Also note the Bull symbols on the Palette of Narmer. Taurus the Bull
to opposite Scorpius.

Scorpion was a pre-dynastic King, and some of the symbols associated
with it are similar to those seen in Sumerian contexts (/a rosette star
symbol is one of these, a pear-shaped mace carried by Scorpion on a
tablet and by Narmer on the Menes tablet is another/).
