John Lash
After lunch, John Lash, an American astrologer and mythologist who currently
lives in Belgium, took the stage. In a lecture entitled `The Dendera
Solution', John presented an overview of world ages from various cultural
and religious traditions, before explaining their connection to the
millennial shift and the problem of determining the dawn of the so-called
'Aquarian age'. Curiously, the Egyptians left no concept of world ages.
However, they did leave us the Dendera zodiac, which, in John's opinion,
becomes the key to understanding the starry depths of their precessional
mythos. He deciphered different axis determined from the zodiac - the
original of which is in the Louvre in Paris - and came to the conclusion
that the forerunners of the ancient Egyptians were very much aware of
the so-called Age of Leo and its mirror reflection in our present age.
More than this, he now considers that they adequately marked the transition
from the current millennium into the next through the presence on an
all-important Axis E determined from certain constellations and symbols
present on the calendar.
I have great respect for the work of John Lash. His views on the development
of the mythos surrounding the different Babylonian ages, derived from
their primary mythology, is second to none. However, I do find it difficult
to understand how the ancient Egyptians might have projected forward
their astrology to pinpoint specific events many thousands of years
after the fall of their civilisation. John's arguments rest solely on
his interpretation of the Dendera zodiac, although we must accept that
his understanding of this device is beyond the scope of most Egyptologists.
