A Prayer for Self-recovery
Α spell for every illness.
Zeus , I am praying to you.
It is a fresco and it was found in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, into the Grave of Tutankhamun.
It dates back to 1349 B.C..
In this text, a prayer to the God Zeus, for recovery from every illness is recorded.
It is an evidence of the power of prayer and of the hope in God.
The research of the Grave of Tutankhamun proved the close relationship between the Egyptians and the Minoans, through the Keftiu Texts, found on the frescoes of that Grave.
The ancient text of the Grave became known through the excavations Zan Vercoutter made.
The researchers who worked on this text, date it approximately to 1349 B.C..
A group of researchers dealt with this text and matched the symbols included in it, to their phonetic values, in the following succession:
SA AN TA KA PA PI WA Y A AY A MA IU A I U N TA RA KU KA RA
Honouring their work , we did not retrace the initial text, which includes symbols. Instead, we began from the point we had stopped.
We studied the phonetic values in the actual text. We understood it, we read and translated it into Modern Greek, but we also approached it philosophically.
Figuration of the phonetic values of the text.
In our own view, the phonetic values are formed as follows:
SA – AN – TA – KA – PA – PI WA YA – A- YA MA I-U- A I- UN- TARAKU – KARA
The language of the text is Greek, Archaic, typical of any Minoan text. The grammatical structure of the text is mixed.
One can identify Pontic words, as well as Classical Greek Language.
The utterance of the words and of the verbal types, follows the grammatical rules of the Pontic Dialect, as well as those of the Classical Greek Language.
Translation of the Text:
Σα αν (άνω) τα κα (κάτω) πα. Πιβαγεία α ύαμαν ούτως αεί ουν ταράκου κάραν.
The Text in Modern Greek:
Everything existing in the sky, as well as on the Earth belongs to You. Vaccinate me with no medicine, the way you wish, forever, head of the bull.
(Δικά σου τα άνω (τα ουράνια) τα κάτω (τα επίγεια) επίσης. Εμβολίασέ με χωρίς φάρμακο έτσι όπως εσύ θέλεις για πάντα λοιπόν ταύρου κεφαλή).
A Philosophical Approach
Congregants felt the need to pray over time. That is the reason why pilgrims visit Holy places. They ask that priests make wishes for them. In the same way, in the past, priests who suffered from illnesses, used to read spells, in the hope that they recover.
The Egyptians write a Keftiu spell on their fresco , for recovery from every illness. The title of the prayer is: I am praying to You, Zeus. (ντα’ αν ετ’ αμούν).
Τhe text dates back approximately to the Years of Pharaoh Αmenhotep (1408-1372 B.C.) or of Tutankhamun (1358-1349 B.C.)
The Egyptian Religious Leaders of the past, give a magical power to the words of the prayer. The prayer must be repeated four times in order to be accepted. This is the tip for the congregant who is praying.
The Egyptians know that Minoans have a mastery of medical plants, which are not enough to help one recover though. A prayer to God is also needed. Having read and interpreted the text, one concludes that they suffer from an illness of the brain.
The sick person, during his/her prayer, asks God to help him/her exchange his head for a head of a bull, which was believed to be very strong. Maybe the Minoans used to symbolize power with the head of the bull, as the head of the strongest animal of all. There may also be a relationship with the legend of Minotaur. The sick congregants call God with the words: Everything existing in the sky, as well as on the Earth belongs to You. Please, vaccinate us with no medicine and give us the head of the bull.
Minotaur, the monster with the human body and the head of the bull, is invincible and it eats human blood. What we see in the depictions on the Egyptian frescoes, is monster figures, having dog-like, reptile-like, eagle-like and lion-like heads. This is also found in the Greek Mythology, where we read about Satyrs, Harpies, Centaurs, Minotaur.
Nobody knows the origins of these monsters.
Maybe this genetic abnormality was the cause of this illness. If all those monsters had been a common group, they would have been mostly influenced by this illness. Frescoes prove that they were members of a social group, because they are depicted in common actions of offers and sacrifices.
Nowadays the Maasai inject the veins of their animals to take blood, which they add to their food. Maybe something similar happened during Taurocatapsia , by the Minoans. What is more, the fable of the Athenian Youth is blood for Minotaur’s food, isn’t it? Maybe the Minoans used to symbolize power, health and vitality with the head of the bull. They were praying to God for a head as strong as that of the bull, probably bearing in mind the Minotaur’s super powers.
