Susan Brind Morrow Claims Egyptologists Have Completely Misunderstood the Pyramid Texts

2/26/2016

38 Comments

 
On Facebook this week Graham Hancock praised a new book called The Dawning Moon of the Mind for challenging the academic consensus on Egyptian religious development by revealing a sophisticated philosophy behind the ancient Pyramid Texts. I don’t think anyone ever doubted that the Pyramid Texts reflect sophisticated religious development, but according to author Susan Brind Morrow, a poet from upstate New York who studied Egyptology in college and once worked in archaeology, Egyptologists understand the Pyramid Texts all wrong.
Morrow claims that Egyptologists wrongly view the Pyramid Texts as being mythological in nature and devoted to aiding the Pharaoh in the afterlife. She claims that Egyptologists view the Egyptians as primitive and superstitious and are too consumed with “Western” views to truly understand their poetry and real meaning. Instead, she believes that by correctly retranslating the texts she can reveal that they are actually a description of the stars, an account of natural phenomena, and the origin point for many later faith traditions.
 
“These are not magic spells at all,” Morrow said in a Huffington Post interview. “These are poetic verses constructed just like poetry today, sophisticated and filled with word play and puns.”
 
To illustrate how different Morrow’s translation is from previous versions, here is Utterance 313 (or 218 in more recent numbering) from Unis’s Pyramid Texts in the 1952 translation of Samuel A. B. Mercer at top, the 2005 translation of James P. Allen in the middle, and Morrow on the bottom. (Note that Mercer gave a generic name, N., in place of Unis’s specific name.)
MERCER TRANSLATION
​502a. To say: The phallus of Bȝ-bii [i.e. Babi, the baboon sky god] is drawn; the double doors of heaven are opened.
502b. The double doors of heaven are locked; the way goes over the flames under that which the gods create,
503a. which allows each Horus to glide through, in which N. will glide through, in this flame under that which the gods create.
503b. They make a way for N., that N. may pass by it. N. is a Horus.

​ALLEN TRANSLATION

Pull back, Baboon’s penis! Open, [sky’s door!
You sealed the door, open a path for Unis] on the blast of heat where the gods scoop water.
Horus’s glide path--TWICE--will Unis glide on, in this blast of heat where the gods scoop water, and they will make a path for Unis that Unis may pass on it: Unis is Horus.
​

MORROW TRANSLATION
The sword of Orion opens the doors of the sky.
Before the doors close again the gate to the path
over the fire, beneath the holy ones as they grow dark
As a falcon flies as a falcon flies, may Unis rise into this fire
Beneath the holy ones as they grow dark.
They make a path for Unis, Unis takes the path,
Unis becomes the falcon star, Sirius.
The next passage, Utterance 314 (or Allen’s 219), traditionally translated as referring to an actual ox, she reads as a description of the constellation Taurus.
 
As you can see, Morrow has decided that the gods are not actually gods because she has become convinced that the Egyptians were not originally polytheist idolaters, and therefore the gods were originally the forces of nature. Consequently, she has turned the gods into stars, under her belief that the sky was the first object of worship.
 
There is no evidence that the Egyptians recognized modern constellations in the time of Unas, and it’s strange that Morrow’s view of Egyptian religion is very similar to what the medieval Arabs imagined ancient Egyptian religion to be like. For example, here is the Akhbar al-zaman speaking of the treasures of the pyramids placed within them by Surid, the king sometimes identified as a mythologized version of Khufu:
Into the eastern pyramid, he transported the idols of the stars, representations of the heavens, wonders built by his ancestors, incense to offer to the idols, books containing the history of ancient Egypt, an account of the lives of the kings and the dates of all the events that had transpired, still other books comprising a proclamation of all that would happen in Egypt until the end of time, with a description of the paths of the fixed stars and their influence at every moment. (my trans.)
This is more or less Morrow’s vision of the Pyramid Texts, and it’s no surprise that other scholars who work professionally on the texts consider her version to be amateurish and false.
 
“It is a translator’s job to be as faithful to the original as possible while using words and constructions that make sense to modern readers. Ms. Morrow has not done that,” Egyptologist and Pyramid Texts translator James P. Allen told the Huffington Post. “Her ‘translation’ is basically a poet’s impression of what she thinks the texts should say, and not a reflection of what they actually say.”
 
After skimming through her translation and comparing it to those of other translators, I have a feeling that Allen is right, despite Morrow’s claims that we shouldn’t see the texts as mysterious or archaic but as vivid depictions of nature. However, Morrow may have a point that too literal a translation may miss some of the more subtle aspects of the texts, or even shortchange the cosmic layer of meaning in the Pyramid Texts. Since I cannot read hieroglyphics, I have no way to judge the specific words translated, but I find it difficult to think that all previous translators misunderstood most of the nouns in the texts.

First these people you referred to as authorities on Black African Spirituality the Egyptologist have been stealing, lying and still are insisting on perpetrating the history of Africa as their own or some other Asiatic. Susan Morrow is correct in her interpretation according to Ancient Classical African Spirituality there is only one Creator Atum, God is an European construct much too limited to express African Spirituality. The Ntchr is the "ALL" or the Creator and the Ntchru are the aspects or qualities of the Ntchr. Which is energy. There are no Gods or Goddesses. First you either don't know the correct words or refuse to address them properly. Unfortunately Europeans in their limitate understanding are trying to Interpret Classical African Spirituality looking at what they stole out of Africa through they limited socio-cultural perspective, They lied and said that the slaves built the pyramids wrong. Because enslavement was their social construct, They said that Khafra built the Sphinx. The Sphinx is a Greek mythological creature that has nothing to do with Heru em Akhety. You need to put down those fairy tale books and catch up. Now since we have scientists from other disciplines researching this great African culture it has been proven by Dr. Robert Schoch that Heru em Akhety is at least 10,000 years old at the end of the last ice age during the Mousterian Pluvial. I was told in a western civilization class, that had nothing to do with the White Western Asiatics that migrated into Europe off the Steppe lets just get that fact out the way, that the Nubians copied from the Kemetyu the Black Africans. Now it has been proven from research in the Nabta Playa region that they had the same spiritually of the people in Kemet, were essentially the same people and were much older by thousands of years than the Kemetyu living in Kemet. We can go on and on with the lies, incompetency and perpetration of your western education. The Kemetyu studied the cosmology and had an excellent understanding of the universe, when Europe thought the world was FLAT and now you want to interpret a civilization that was so advanced they were living in temples and houses and your kings were still living
in barns.
I dare you to try to put this woman's work down when you have no idea what you are talking about. She has come closer than any of your fictitious wanna be pseudo egyptologist in the interpretation of the Kemetyu's Mdw Ntchr left on the temples.
Catch up and learn the correct words or have a much needed seat in the back of the room.
First thing for you to do is to learn the Egypt was a Greek word that has been further screw up by the Egyptologist the word is KEMET

It's hilariously hypocritical how you Kemetists love to disparage Western Egyptologists! You talk about ancient Egyptian dieties, concepts, etc. using the very English transliterations REDISCOVERED BY WESTERN EGYPTOLOGISTS! The fact is nobody would know shit about "Kemet" if it weren't for those curious Europeans who started digging around in Egypt. Period. Modern Egyptians sure didn't know shit about ancient Egypt! You all act like Europeans learning about ancient Egypt is cultural appropriation, when in fact it's cultural resuscitation. Seriously, tell me what's worse: 200 years of Western Egyptologists who have a deep interest in the ancient culture, or THOUSANDS of years of Egyptians letting their native culture literally crumble and get buried under. All you Kemetists would be Muslims if it weren't for Egyptologists!

pam...i agree with you regarding Morrow's book The Dawning of Moon of the Mind...i found the initial review for this book in the magazine "KMT"......(which is itself a wonderful journalistic quarterly magazine completely about Kemet)....though i have studied Kemet for decades....i am not an expert...but Morrow's book opens an entirely new world for me.
thank you

I support Morrow's translation and interpretation of The Pyramid Texts. It's brilliant precisely because it refines and overturns uninspired prior translations which contained their own biases.

Her fresh insights echo others from the wonderful first and second seasons of Magical Egypt produced by Chance Gardner that expand on the innovative work of the late John Anthony West. Scoff if you like, but both series and especially the new ones contain superb insights into symbolism that that mainstream Egyptologists missed.

Because they understood Cosmology, and looked to the Orion Belt as the place they would travel to in the afterlife. I'm wondering do you have any understanding of Kemet or Classical African Spirituality. Maybe you should catch up on recent research being done by real scientists. Then you won't seem so confused.

From what I understand of the ancient Egyptian belief system, that's probably not that far off. Granted, I'm not an expert, but what little I do know really seems to indicate that they were very big on cycles of renewal--the sun "died" every evening and was "reborn" every morning, for example--so I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't an element of "you're being reborn into the afterlife" going on.

Season 3 of Forbidden History has kicked off and the first episode is about the claim that the Ark of the Covenant is in Ethiopia, concluding it was unlikely - taking 45 minutes to cover what could be gathered in 45 seconds.

Here's the link for those in UK who may want to watch the documentary

How do you get from "Baboon's Penis" to "Sword of Orion"? That seems to be a stretch in any language, even hieroglyphs.

To a non-archaeologist, it appears that Egyptology is the most dogmatic and closed minded of all archaeology studies, with pronouncements, once they are made, being inviolate regardless of improvements in technology (carbon dating, new developments in linguistics, satellite imagery, etc), or new finds with loads of new texts. Maybe Jason has an explanation.

It also appears that many of the early Egyptologists were in fact wealthy, self funded amateurs who learned on the job, and probably were very defensive about their conclusions.

Well, it's possible in a "is that a sword in your scabbard or are you just pleased to see me?" sort of way- but if the ancient Egyptians really associated the main stars of the constellation we call Orion with the god Osiris, then they presumably can't also be associated with the baboon god Babi.

Ken, I think the problem is that non-archeologist's lack of research, not the field of Egyptology itself, because it hasn't been THAT long since the last "THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!" discovery in Egyptology, which if I'm actually up to date (and I admit I may not be) was the remains of a port town built for the transport of stone to Khufu's pyramid, along with the diary of a stonemason? And before that, the builder's town for said pyramid.

Not to mention the number of "firsts" instituted by Egyptologists to preserve archeological integrity, ranging from Carter's use of photography to the use of laser scanning to generate 3D images of sites for the public to view.

I think that your non-archeologist just doesn't understand that we have a fairly decent grasp on ancient Egyptian society at this point, so the vast bulk of discoveries are kinda confirming and re-confirming what we've already figured out, just like 8th-grade science experiments at school are never going to completely upset the balance of physics--if you get odd results with those experiments, you're doing it wrong, not generating anything new, because those experiments have literally been done millions of times.

You are correct, however, that many early Egyptologists were wealthy grave-robbers. Even Carter was funded by one such. That...doesn't 1. make him wrong, or 2. really have much bearing on what modern archeologists are discovering, especially with the early Egyptologists at this point pretty much all dead and buried (in the more Christian fashion, usually!)

Writing in 1945, René Guénon in The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times, p. 131.


“The archaeologists examine these vestiges with modern eyes, which only perceive the coarsest modality of manifestation, so that even if, in spite of all, something more subtle has remained attached to the vestiges, the archaeologists are certainly quite incapable of becoming aware of it; in short, they treat these things as the mechanical physicists treat the things they have to deal with, because their mentality is the same and their faculties are equally limited. It is said that when a treasure is sought for by a person for whom, for one reason or another, it is not destined, the gold and precious stones are changed for him into coal and common pebbles; modern lovers of excavations might well turn this particular ‘legend’ to their profit!”.

Does she actually claim to have translated the Pyramid texts? If so did she translate from the Hieroglyphics or did she accomplish and English-to-English translation, merely twisting the work of actual linguists who have studied Ancient Egyptian into what she wants it to mean?

It looks more like the later than the former to me since even the rankest novice with a copy of Wallis Budge in hand could not have come up with her version.

Don't know the correct word, let me help you. It isn't hieroglyphs the correct word is the Mdw Ntchr or the "ALL" or the "CREATOR OF ALL" The Ntchru are not gods and goddess, because of your limited Western or Asiatic concept you are trying to interpret this through your Western socio-cultural mind set. The Ntchru are aspects of the Ntchr or Atum.
There is no Egypt it is KEMET
Let me give you and example: sometimes people learn better that way.
Ma at - the personification of the physical and moral law of the universe, such as the 42 Oracles of Ma at. You know where the 10 commandments came from .
Or Jhuty you know the one Egyptologists keep referring to as Thoth ha ha ha, sorry. He is not a God. He is the Ntchr of Good Speech, Intelligence and Wisdom, the Scribe of the Ntchru, the universal mind, He is the Neb of divine words, time, universal balance and the judge of Heru and Setsh.
How can you be taken seriously when you don't the names of that which you seek to explain.
Maybe you should focus your attention on the Krugen culture or the Tripolye culture before they migrated into Europe. That you would have a better reference for. And leave the rest of the world cultures alone. Because all of the lies and fantasies of the Western World are being exposed. If I were you I'd jump ship right away.Especially, since the real scientists are looking at ancient Kemet, Nubia and Nabta Playa proving the field of Egyptology is a JOKE,
THE GODS OF EGYPT ha ha ha sorry,
You should catch up on the magnificent works of a real scientists Dr. Robert Schoch a geologist that has proven that Nswt Khafra could not have built Heru em Akhety (you would know it as the Sphinx), a Greek mythical creature with wings. Anyway, Heru em Akhety could not have been built by Khafra because of the water damage caused during the Mousterian Pluvial.
Oh almost forgot you should take a look at the new excavations done in Nabta Playa. You're gonna love this. They have found there evidence of Nubian cosmology and culture just like that found in Kemet. And get this, its thousands of years older than the 1st Dynasty in Kemet. I guess the Kemetyu (Black people of Kemet) weren't lying when they said they came from the foot of the mountain of the moon.
Well Imhopet

I'm not sure that we can take the PT less literally.

Every sentence contains a god we take to be imaginary or refers to such. Nobody still believes in ancient "gods" or "magic" so every sentence is metaphor. Are we now to believe metaphors should be taken less literally?

There is no Egyptologist that can refute our claims. #Madjai I have personal coorespondance with R.B. Parkinson, former Museum curator at British museum for 15 years and the current teacher of egyptology at Oxford. He translated alot the British Museum pieces. Parkinson admits to the accuracy of my translations and also admits I corrected his erroneous translation of the B.M. Ostracon formerly thought to be concerning male - male relations. That was corrected by me. No scholar or researcher before me did that for Kemet. So we do this damn work without fake ass diplomas and irrelevant degrees. This is my vocation.

I have never heard anyone explain the cannibal Hymn or any of these spells as poetry before I did so. Delubiz kinda hit on it but now Egyptologist are saying their peers have been looking at the text from too much of a western perspective. So the perspective really needs to be African centered to understand the Pyramid text. Who told you that and proved it tho? Madjai Archers. We did it by proving the /ar.t/ was not the anus, but white Egyptologist thought it was because of their western view concerning that section of the body. We proved the death by devouring was the ultimate death in ancient egyptian poetical analogy and that the cannibal Hymn is the zenith of this. The cannibal Hymn is like a battle Rap challenging the netcheru. I am the only one to teach this, said as humbly as it can be said. Now they on it.

It is fortunate that all the share rhetoric regarding Una's tomb.....regardless of origin..may one day fall together and the meaning of the hieroglyphs in the tomb will finally speak.
Thank you for your time.
