The Mystery of Coptic Symbols
Egyptian cultural and literary records were reinterpreted as biblical monuments reviving interest and attention. Some accounts of the Holy Land attempted to locate Christian religious sites and other pharaohial monuments directly related to biblical accounts. The concept of the Great Sphinx persisted along with massive pyramids and temples discovered from literary records making Egypt a world center of architectural excellence and a source of human enigmas. Archaeological excavations uncovered millennia-old granite lost underground cities unfinished obelisks missing hieroglyphs secret chambers beneath the Sphinx's base and statues incorporating Ptolemaic Greek influences becoming priceless treasures of global interest.

Hieroglyphs particularly the Ankh symbolized the immortality of the Egyptian gods. The Greeks and Romans believed it resembled the cross with the central circle and radiating spokes representing the halo and love of Christ and the T-shaped spokes signifying a fusion of ancient Egyptian and early Christian civilizations. The meaning and origins of this fusion of ancient Egyptian symbolism are explored.
Various interpretations of symbols and hieroglyphs have been presented. Many artifacts in Egypt include airplanes or submarines in temples as well as the jade pillars in the Temple of Dandera and the yet-undiscovered tombs of Cleopatra and Nefertiti. Stone Age humans calculated seasons and star positions by observing the position of the sun constellations and shadows cast by stone pillars or stone alignments. They used the appearance of prominent constellations at night as signals of seasonal changes or hunting times.

A natural calendar linked star positions to animal migration or river water levels. The points of sunrise and sunset which shifted left and right throughout the year were used to determine planting and harvesting times. This is a fascinating aspect of ancient times including the construction of massive structures without human intervention. The fact that ancient humans created inventions and architecture without metal technology resulted in vast territories that became wonders of the world.
