Pyrgi Tablets written in Etruscan and Phoenician languages. Etruscan Museum in Rome. |
This is in the Pyrgi Tablets found in Santa Severa, Italy. Because the history of Seshat is so deeply entrenched in human culture instead of looking for direct clues, like Sst or her star symbol, I do not omit strings of commonalities that she represented when doing my research. So to see the star, which is her symbol, Astarte, which is a later representation of her aspects, Hermes, who is also a later representation of her aspect, calendar, which is a part of the body of knowledge she represented on time, year, and sun which is iconic with this representations of time and the divine. When I see all of these together it catches my attention and I imagine that the scribe may have been a priest of Seshat or student of the body of knowledge her icon represents. Maybe he or she even wore the leopard print garb! What is striking to me is here is that these symbolic terms are found among the Greek, once again linking Thebes to early civilized culture in Europe. In my Egypt in Nashville Tour I discuss some of these cultural continuities in architecture from Kemet to Greece that are seen in the Parthenon and "Lady Wisdom" Athena.
