Imhotep (Part 16)

Update: January 10, 2009:

(click on image for full size and zoom). This image is from the Djoser complex. Source of base image: OdysseyAdventures.  It shows, much like my top signature, 2 distinct 'reflections' (B) at the bottom, one, to me, representing the Sun from the East and the other for the West.  I find it very interesting that my diagram expressed 2 halves before I saw this image. 

'A' the horizon with balanced reflections on top and bottom as I would expect.  Older versions of this symbol I believe wouldn't of been so 'full', that is, they'd be more like line drawings with emphasis being placed only on the ends.  The Sun arc (A) is more like a line version than later jewelry versions that I've seen.  Note 'D' which appears to be like a horizontal knot... I do not know what this represents and may put into question everything except that all the other elements seem to support my hypothesis quite readily.  Update Jan. 11, 2009: This could be a representation of the hieroglyph N17 for Land, Earth, Eternity... it is a horizontal rectangle shape drawn at AncientEgyptOnline.co.uk with rounded corners.  That would make sense.

Update, Jan 11, 2009: For those who are skeptical of this interpretation of the Ankh, lets look at it from a different point of view, from that of the ancient scribe who created it.  Lets say he was given the task of creating a hieroglyph that embodied that which provided life to his desert land, namely the river and the Sun, and to combine those two elements into one simple to understand symbol.   Additionally, the Sun cycle is deemed important as nothing grows at night, 'lives' at night (meaning to be productive, i.e. everyone sleeps including the land), etc. since this will be a 'life' symbol.  Okay, go to it... what would you draw?

Okay, lets add one more element, that the sunrise and sunset are important and you'd like to emphasis these moments in time a bit.  Now go, and let me see what you come up with...
