The present silent majority of the Egyptian people (Baladi) correlate specific activities of their daily life to certain days of the week. These activities are concentrated in two focal periods: the Eve of Monday (Sunday night) and the Eve of Friday (Thursday night), with more focus on the Eve of Friday (this has absolutely nothing to do with Islam, whatsoever). Marriage ceremonies are only allowed on these two nights, with preference to Friday Eve. Thousands of local shrines (nothing related to Islam) are visited on both these eves, with special preference to Friday Eve. People spend the night of Friday Eve at the tombs of their departed relatives (contrary to Islam). Intercourse between married couples is very special on Friday Eve. Courtship activities of all kinds are more prevalent on Friday Eve. All types of activities (cutting hair, butcher work, ...etc.) follow the same pattern.
Since Ancient Egyptian times, the week started on a high (musical) note, namely Saturday. [Equating Saturday to Saturn, the highest, will be clarified at the end of this chapter.] As such, the layout of the week, with the two special focal eves will look as follows:
The concentrated activities towards both ends of the week (with two centers of activity—one more prominent than the other) correspond to an elliptical form that conforms to Kepler’s first planetary law.
Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) rediscovered—from Egyptian
sources—that the orbit of a planet/comet about its sun is an egg-shaped path
(ellipse). Each planetary system is balanced only when the planet’s orbit is
an egg-shaped plane that has two foci, with its sun’s center of mass at one of
its foci. Similarly, the Egyptian traditions follow the same pattern. All
aspects of their thinking and society can be reasoned to the egg-shaped
characteristics—including music.
Egyptian Rhythm: The Heavenly Melodies is a holistic masterpiece! I call it holistic because the seamless manner in which you connect music, cosmology, everyday life, the Neteru and then support all you write with examples from the historical record makes this book an irrefutable work of genius. I have studied Ancient Egyptian culture and spirituality for the past 15 years very intensely. I have been a professional musician for almost 40 years. You have filled in so many pieces of the puzzle I thank you immensely for your awareness. This is a gift from the Neteru [gods/goddesses]. The charts on pp. 26
& 27 detailing how the Ancient Egyptians assigned the harmonic sounds of the diatonic scale to the hours of the day and the days of the week are very revealing of the deep level of scientific knowledge that permeated every aspect of the lives of the citizens of Egypt. You give the methods for designing modes using scientific frequencies that can be duplicated, the instruments that were used by performers, the vocal and dances techniques with more examples from the temple wall to illustrate the correctness of your interpretation. Once again, this is truly a gift from the Neteru. You have truly done a great service to all who seek the truth.
