RAVEN BELITTLES THE PYRAMIDS AND SPHINX- Etching, 5 inch x 7 inch 2023

In ancient times all ravens, crows, and blackbirds were called crows. In Egypt, vultures and crows were important to transport spirits to the afterlife. Crows represented faithful love, as people of the ancient world observed, they were monogamous. Horapollo wrote that when the Egyptians wished to show the union between Aries, the God of war, and Aphrodite, the Goddess of love, they drew images of crows.

Today, The Wall of the Crow (Heit el-Ghourab) stands forgotten, obscured by the impressive monuments on the Giza Plateau. Long before the Great Pyramids or the Sphinx, this Neolithic wall was built as a gateway to the afterlife. The wall is 656 feet long, 32.8 feet high, and 39 feet thick at the base. In the center is the gate, with a massive lintel stone believed to weigh 300 tons. It is the largest single stone in the Giza complex. The gateway was important to the ancients, but its meaning has been lost.

4500 years ago, the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx were built
and Raven began gloating. ....
He loved to remind the New Sphinx that
the Wall of Crow was older
He loved to belittle the New Pyramids by
flaunting his wall’s massive stone.
