Sobek

Psalm 150:1

"Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power."

Amanda Cerny

SOBEK, the crocodile--Crocodilus niloctico--was a creature of DUAL personality to the ancient Egyptian. Because of its dangerousness was viewed as a symbol of cosmic disorder (Seth). But on the other hand, it was true that the crocodile emerged from the waters like the sun god himself.

"Sobek was also associated with pharaonic power, fertility, and military prowess, but served additionally as a protective deity with apotropaic qualities, invoked especially for protection against the dangers presented by the Nile. Sobek has been famed for having been revered by the first female Pharaoh by the Nebty name Sat-Sekhem-Nebet-Tawy Sobekneferu, present both in the female Pharaoh's nomen, Sobekneferu (sbk-nfrw - Beauty of Sobek), and her praenomen Kasobekre (The Ka of Sobek-Ra)."

El Castel del Monte (“Castillo del Monte”; en barese: Castídde d'u Monte; originariamente: Castrum Sancta Maria de Monte, “Castillo de Santa María del Monte”) es sin duda una de las construcciones más populares de los tiempos del emperador Federico II. Se encuentra en Apulia, al sudeste de Italia. El castillo fue levantado entre 1240 y 1250, aunque el edificio da la impresión, sobre todo en su nivel interior, de no haber sido nunca completado.

 Planta del castel

El castillo está lleno de simbolismos difíciles de resolver y entender. Su forma de corona no es casual, sino una representación consciente de la corona del emperador. Ocho esquinas también tiene la capilla palatina de la catedral de Aquisgrán, donde Federico II fue coronado. La forma octogonal también se puede relacionar con las decoraciones de la arquitectura musulmana. Otra teoría establece que el castillo fue levantado teniendo en cuenta distintas constelaciones estelares. Así, en diversas fechas del año se producen determinadas situaciones de luz y sombra que convierten al castillo en un calendario celeste en tres dimensiones.

Henry Moore: reclining figure

In 1958, at the age of 50, Moore began making large scale works too large for the confines of a gallery. Later on he wrote “Landscape has been for me one of the sources of my energy…I find that all natural forms are a source of unending interest – tree trunks…the texture and variety of grasses…The whole of Nature is an endless demonstration of shape and form.”

When a restaurant’s been going since 1742, you know it’s got something special. And where Wiltons is concerned, ‘special’ translates to ‘one of the greatest culinary institutions ever to have graced the world’s gastronomic stage’. With its history (and current cuisine) rooted firmly in oysters, it’s a treat for food lovers and history aficionados alike.
