Raising Star in the Meroitic Facebook group, has
found a very interesting
building. He wrote: “The old building with a sound painting is a
confusing puzzle for the mind. It was built above a 6 M Limestone. This hill is
a rock block from the sample of stones used to build pyramids . Building area
about 1012 sqm .It is divided into four rooms each two rooms separate by a
rocky passage. Each room is divided with a small reserve inside it separates it
into two. Walls Height is about 10 meters.
All the rocks around
the building have been engraved in a circular form with letters and engravings
as in the picture. Each stone was carved from the walls of the building. The
walls of the building were painted from the inside with a thick layer similar
to cement, but stronger as it was painted from the inside with brown and brown
lines. The building has very short doors, put your back when you enter, and it
doesn't have your doors, but small slots above the rooms near the broken
roof. “
I have looked at these inscriptions and see that they are
Thinite writing or the Proto-Saharan script. The Proto-Saharan inscriptions
indicate that the building was a temple
where the locals worshipped their gods.
In this post I will
discuss the inscriptions inside the building. The symbols inside each room is
written in the Proto-Saharan/Thinite script. This writing was used by members
of the Maa civilization. The Maa people later founded the River Valley
civilizations of Egypt, Sumer, and the Indus Valley.
Each room in this temple appears to have been a chapel
where people can go to pray or worship on their own. Each chapel appears
to have a different inscription above the entrance.
The inscription above one of the chapel is a single sign.
This sign is “Gyo”. Gyo means “ [Place}
Consecrated to the cult”. Consecrated to the divinity.
In Figure 4, we see one of the longest inscriptions.
Reading from right to left we read:
Ii gyo se
I lu yo le ga
I gyo fe gyo
Le
This means:
“Thine in the company
of a superior place consecrated to the divinity’.
Rest up right the spirit here to sprout zeal [for the
divinity and cult].
This talisman loves the Divinity of the cult.
[Here is true] Existence”
In another chapel we find a banner that has fallen to the
ground. The inscription is presented in Figure 1.
In the bottom inscription in finely carved Proto-Saharan
script we read the following:
I ta gyo I gyo ka
“This place the locality of the cult Divinity. In the
company of the mystic order [At] this
object [building] consecrated to the cult”.
In front of this inscription we find other signs that were
engraved on the banner later. These signs we read as follows:
Yo gyo gba lu lu I fe
“ The spirit of the cult Divinity [is here] in the strong
habitation of the congregation, rest(ing) up right [here] Love [of the
Divinity]”.
In conclusion, this building was a temple. Where believers
could venerate their God(s). It would appear that the Believer could enter a
room and pray/worship their God(s) as an individual or group.
