Feb 8 Olympics: Figure skating, freestyle skiing kick off primetime TV
The 2018 Winter Olympics begins in Pyeongchang on Friday and the opening ceremony took centre stage to kick-off the 23rd Games
A focus on Sirius can be found at the heart of most ancient societies -and secret societies. The heat in the summer months was believed to be, in part, caused by Sirius and so they became known as "dog days". The Egyptian calendar was regulated by the movement of Sirius (Sothis to the Greeks) and the Sothic calendar was founded on the rising of Sirius one minute before the Sun, the so-called heliacal rising in the Summer. The number 23 was important to the Dogons, as it was to the Egyptians and the Babylonians. Some researchers say this was connected to the heliacal rising on July 23rd when Sirius, the Earth, and the Sun are in a straight line.https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/biggestsecret/matrix/matrix03.htm

The Stadium is a combination of different geometrical shapes — circle, square, and triangle — representing heaven, earth, and mankind respectively, and the combination of these shapes represent harmony and convergence, the founding ideas of Korean traditional values
"Philosophical themes such as the human position in relation to heaven and earth are reflected in both the vowel and consonant characters. The circular dot is a symbol of the half-dome of the heavens, the horizontal line represents the flat earth, and the vertical line symbolizes man standing between the two (see the lower portion of the diagram above).The Hangul symbols chosen for the 'design of the games' (triangle, star, dome) mirror in image Sirius symbolism that matches perfectly with the duat/new horizons 'stargate' theme.
In the case of the consonant characters, they were originally composed of straight lines and round circles only. As was mentioned earlier, the first character in each row of the first diagram above is a kind of representative consonant for that row (and thus of that linguistic group). These five were called the "First Sounds," and also symbolically represent the five elements. They fit together nicely into the diagram of the First Sounds below, having essentially the same symbolism as explained in the previous paragraph."

When the world came into being, there were two rivers, the river of Egypt and the river of the sky. Great is the Nile, the river of Egypt, rising in his two caverns in the South beyond the cataract, flooding the land of Egypt and bringing joy and good harvests to Ta-mery. Great and mighty is the river of the sky, flowing across the heavens and through the Duat, the world of night and of thick darkness, and on that river floats the Boat of Ra. Boat of Millions of Years is its name, but men call it the Manzet Boat in the dawn, when Ra rises in splendour on the eastern horizon of heaven; the Mesektet Boat is it called in the evening, when Ra enters in glory within the portals of the Duat, where the mountain of Manu lifts its peaks to the western sky. On the western horizon is the mountain of Manu. and on the eastern horizon the mountain of Bakhu; vast and huge are they, raising their crests above the earth, and the sky rests upon

Twin Mountains
In the Book of Gates the first gate is at the setting of the sun. A dead person’s soul journeys to the mountain of the setting sun which is called Manu which is similar to the Babylonian mountain called Mashu (Budge 1906, 1:109). Usually Bakhu refers to the western mountains, and Manu refers to the eastern mountains that hold heaven up.
The twin mountains both in the East and West from which the sun rises and sets, were combined into one symbol for the horizon that signified the cycle of rebirth. Rambova in the book Mythological Papyri (1957, 30-31). Says:
"The two widely separated geographic points of West and East, the sunset and sunrise mountains of Bakhu and Manu, become identified and joined, both in thought and in image. From geographic opposites they become associated symbols of the mysterious achievement of divine purpose.
The Egyptians may have thought the circle of the horizon was a mountain range extending from East to West, or that the mountains went under the earth to hold up the earth as well.
The hieroglyphic sign for the horizon is . It is a picture of the sun setting or rising from between the twin mountains. This is probably due to an optical illusion of mountains when the sun comes close to the horizon. The entrance way of temples and tombs are patterned after this sign, because the entrance way to the underworld was where the sun set between the twin mountains. Rambova says, "Carved over the entrance of the tombs of later kings, this horizon sign with the disk becomes the royal insignia of divine birth. In the example over the portal of the tomb of Ramesses X the stylized 'mountains' support the sky and enclose the great disk with the scarab Khepri and the ram-headed solar deity" (1957, 31). Solomon’s Temple seems also to be like this with two bronze pillars named "Jachin" and "Boaz." (1 Kings 7:15-22)."
From the different texts and drawings of Nut and Geb one can see different views of the world. For example, sometimes the realm of the dead is in heaven and sometimes under the earth. Sometimes just Shu (the air-god) holds up heaven, and sometimes four pillars help him. One picture shows Nut as a cow, and other show her as a woman. Sometimes the sky is seen as flat, and sometimes it was drawn curved. The sea was seen as a circle, and sometimes it was seen as a coiled serpent. So in Egypt there many different ways of drawing, and describing the universe.

The Korean flag, known as Taegeukgi, is another illustration of the balance and law of the universe. The taegeuk, the interlocking semi-circles in the flag, represents yin and yang, the blue semi-circle symbolising yin and the red yang. Everything in the universe comes from the energy created by the collision and the balance between these two forces. On Taegeukgi, the yin and yang interlock to create the taegeuk, and the four trigrams represent heaven, earth, fire, and water.The sound of janggo in the centre stage is a musical expression of the harmony of yin and yang while janggo dancers express the dynamic variation of the trigrams and the energy of the taegeuk.
In the middle of the land, a heavenly altar rises to join heaven and earth, and Ung-nyeo, a character from the creation myth of Korea, enters the stage and prays for peace. With heaven and nature in communion with people, everything in the Stadium becomes connected by light, and the light becomes Cheonsang Yeolcha Bunyajido (The Chart of the Constellations and the Regions) in the sky. Following the light, the five children continue their journey.
Ung-nyeoShe is a character from the creation myth of Gojoseon, an ancient kingdom of Korea. According to the myth, she was a bear, but after praying for one hundred days, she became a woman. She married Hwanung, the heavenly king, and gave birth to a son, Dangun, the founder of the Korean nation.
From the official Olympic Media Guide on the "River of Time":
The number five comes from the five Olympic Rings, and the names of the children’s characters come from the Five Elements — fire, water, wood, metal, and earth — which are believed to make up the universe. The colours of the five children’s costumes also symbolise the Five Elements — red symbolising fire, black water, blue wood, white metal, and yellow earth.
The five children travel the River of Time and at the end of their journey, they arrive at the Gate to the Future. In the future world, where everyone and everything are connected, the five children realise the importance of working together for a peaceful world.
When the five children are crossing the river on a raft, a storm comes with wind and thunder. Like the Koreans who created the Miracle of the Hangang River despite ordeals and trials, the buckwheat flowers rise up again to create the lovely and bountiful field. As they head towards a glittering modern city, the children watch fireflies rise up from the buckwheat flowers.
Fireflies rise up from the buckwheat flowers and spread in the sky like the Milky Way
The 120 gates to the future have LED displays on three sides, and they were designed to display images in response to the performers’ movements.

We find the raft transporting the 5 elements (spirit) symbolically represents the merging between two time rivers:
ARIRANG: THE RIVER OF TIME
Auraji Raft
Auraji is a place of confluence, where two rivers meet, and the name means “to be together” in Korean. The people of Gangwon Province used to carry logs to Seoul on the Auraji River, and as they fought against the torrents on their way, they sang the song of ‘Arirang’. The raft symbolises the life and dreams of the people of Gangwon Province.

Implying the Giza Stargate by sailing the "spirit ship" on the Horizon merging the Nile river to Milky Way:
Khufu ship
"Like other buried Ancient Egyptian ships, it was apparently part of the extensive grave goods intended for use in the afterlife, and contained no bodies, unlike northern European ship burials.
The history and function of the ship are not precisely known. It is of the type known as a "solar barge", a ritual vessel to carry the resurrected king with the sun god Ra across the heavens. However, it bears some signs of having been used in water, and it is possible that the ship was either a funerary "barge" used to carry the king's embalmed body from Memphis to Giza, or even that Khufu himself used it as a "pilgrimage ship" to visit holy places and that it was then buried for him to use in the afterlife."
In many pantheons, sky deities are male while earth deities are female. The apparent reversal of this symbolism in the Egyptian pantheon may be connected with the fact that in Egypt, the regular source of water (associated with fertilizing semen) was the Nile – which came from the earth – rather than as rain from the sky. For time to begin, sky and earth needed to be separated and this is shown by Shu raising Nut up away from Geb.
The Egyptians believed that the earth was a flat plate and that the sky was a vast body of water. The name “Nut” may mean “the watery one”, although this does not mean that she rained, the idea is more like a Great Lake or Sea. The movement of the sun across this water was understood as a voyage by boat.

Heliopolitan creation myth.
Ancient Egyptians believed that in the beginning, there was an infinite, lifeless ocean known as Nun, out of which a mound of earth emerged, where Atum settled. Alternately, some versions of the myth speak of the sun god Ra emerging first, settling on a giant lotus flower that appeared on the water surface. Ra then gave light to the universe. The myths then merge, with either Ra or Atum creating Tefnut, goddess of water, and Shu, god of air. They in turn give birth to the sky goddess Nut and the earth god Geb, defining the four elements: earth, water, air and sky.
Despite Ra's orders, Geb and Nut married. Ra got angry and ordered Shu to separate them. But Nut was already pregnant, although unable to give birth, as Ra had decreed she could not give birth in any month of any year.
Nut sought the help of Thoth, god of wisdom,who gambled with the moon for extra light, adding five extra days to the 360-day calendar. During those five days, Nut gave birth to Osiris, god of regeneration; Isis, goddess of motherhood; Set, god of male sexuality; and Nephthys, Set's female counterpart. All four deities together created the forces of life.

The organizers explain: "The number five comes from the five Olympic Rings, and the names of the children's characters come from the Five Elements — fire, water, wood, metal, and earth — which are believed to make up the universe."
The Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium's pentagon shape also includes a combination of different geometrical shapes — circle, square, and triangle — representing heaven, earth, and mankind, the organizers say.

"The phoenix, a mythical animal that can live for up to 1,000 years old, took centre stage. Phoenixes fly between heaven and earth and are only said to appear during times of peace."
There are no existing documents from an early period to explain the original iconography of the Five Peaks. Chadwick reports the findings of Dr. Yi Song-mi, Professor of Art History at the Academy of Korean Studies in Seoul.[5] He has suggested that these screens were one of the most important elements in the throne hall, and that this formalized landscape illustrates the Joseon political cosmology.[6] The "almost" red sun represents the king as the yang, the positive male principle, while the white moon represents the queen as the yin, the negative female principle. These two principles make the universe work.
Half-man and half-bird, the mediator between the heavens and earth enters the stage with the phoenix, the legendary bird of peace. The five children walk towards the heavenly altar with Ung-nyeo. The festival for everyone and every living thing begins, and this image is portrayed in the sky as Cheonsang Yeolcha Bunyajido (The Chart of the Constellations and the Regions)
Inmyeonjo
Inmyeonjo is a fantastical animal known to travel across the land and the sky and live a thousand years, symbolizing longevity. Based on the Buddhist legends that it has a bird’s torso and a human face, Inmyeonjo in the opening ceremony closely resembles the drawing on the walls of Goguryeo tombs in Deokheung-ri, South Korea.
According to the guidebook distributed to the media to explain the various elements of the Opening Ceremony, the bird figure symbolized a mythical South Korean phoenix that rises from the dead. A figure of a bird-like animal with a human face has been found on murals from the Goguryeo period (100 B.C.-seventh century) in Korean history.

Classical elements typically refer to the concepts in ancient Greece of earth, water, air, fire, and aether, which were proposed to explain the nature and complexity of all matter in terms of simpler substances.[1][2] Ancient cultures in Egypt, Babylonia, Japan, Tibet, and India had similar lists, sometimes referring in local languages to "air" as "wind" and the fifth element as "void". The Chinese Wu Xing system lists Wood (木 mù), Fire (火 huǒ), Earth (土 tǔ), Metal (金 jīn), and Water (水 shuǐ), though these are described more as energies or transitions than as types of material.

So what was this room used for? Magli offers a possible interpretation that falls in line with existing knowledge on Egyptian funerary religion as documented in the Pyramid texts: “In these texts it is said that the pharaoh,before reaching the stars of the north, will have to pass the ‘gates of the sky’ and sit on his ‘throne of iron.’”https://www.rt.com/news/415823-giza-pyramid-meteorite-throne/

The organizers explained that the 'ㅍ' shape also represents a gathering square for the three elements in Korea's traditional humanism -- heaven, earth and human.
The color scheme follows the five Korean traditional colors, collectively called "Obangsaek," of white, black, blue, yellow and red. These colors, the organizers noted, also reflect the colors of the Olympic Rings.
the organizers said in a statement. "(The emblem represents) a square where the earth meets the sky and where athletes excel in snow or on ice.

It designed in reference to the traditional Chinese concept of the five elements that make up the entire universe. Red is the traditional color of China. A maroon version was produced for the Paralympic torch. It references the yin and yang. The top of the torches represents the rivers, lakes, waterfalls, the Four Seas and the ocean of China. The bottom of the torches represents the people, animals, forests, mountains, deserts, buildings, cities, towns and villages of China. The logo is on the center of the torch.

No doubt this theme will be followed closely in 2018 with the upcoming WC and so on.
The initiation of Phoenix symbolism in the modern Olympics etc commenced heavily in Atlanta:
Blaze is a phoenix, a mythical bird that rises from ashes to experience a renewed life. The phoenix appears in Egyptian, Arabian, Chinese, Russian and Native American folklore and in all instances symbolizes strength, vision, inspiration and survival. The phoenix was an ideal mascot for the 1996 Atlanta Paralympic Games and later for BlazeSports America, a nonprofit organization that is the direct legacy of the Games. The phoenix has long been the symbol of Atlanta’s rebirth after its devastation in the American Civil War. But most importantly, it is the personification of the will, perseverance and determination of youth and adults with physical disability to achieve full and productive lives. Blaze, with his bright colors, height and broad wing span, reflects the traits, identified in a focus group of athletes with disability, as those they believed best represented the drive to succeed of persons with physical disability who pursue sports as recreation and as a competitive endeavor. Today, Blaze is the most recognizable symbol of disability sport in America.

The sounding of the bell summoning the golden phoenix?
I would say so!
Among the temple bells with flying celestial designs, two of the most famous are the Bronze Bell of Sangwonsa Temple (Korean National Treasure No. 36, produced in 725) and the Bell of King Seongdeok (Korean National Treasure No. 27, produced in 771). Both of the flying celestial designs embossed on these bells hold an object in their hands. On closer inspection of the Sangwonsa Bell, the flying celestial on the left is playing a konghou, while the one on the right a saenghwang. On the Bell of King Seongdeok, a flying celestial holds an incense burner with a handle. In other words, the flying celestials on the former offer music, while the one on the latter offers incense. As flying celestials are often depicted with objects of offering in their hands, they are sometimes called “flying celestials in offering.” That is because they come down to earth from heaven while holding objects or vessels to be offered to the Buddha.
The Saenghwang and the Incense Burner with Handle —
After the harp was introduced to Central Asia, it gradually evolved into the konghou. However, it is not easy to determine the origin of the musical instrument known as the saenghwang. The saenghwang is said to have the sound of a phoenix, a mythological and auspicious bird and also the symbol of the Korean presidency. By emulating the sound of the phoenix, which supposedly appears only in peaceful and prosperous times, the saenghwang is intended to actualize an ideal world. Believing that the Buddha’s teachings lead all people to happiness, the saenghwang design found on some bells was a well thought out choice. By embossing other musical instruments on the surface of bells, the artist imaginatively creates the feeling one is listeningIt was announced during the opening ceremony the bell officially "summoned" the spirit of the games (like blaze in 1996) and notably 1936...

Had the 1940 Summer Games been held, a never-before used method of bringing the Olympic Flame from Nazi Germany to Japan was proposed - by air delivery, in the purpose-built Messerschmitt Me 261 Adolfine long-range aircraft, which was designed to have a maximum range of some 9,500 km (5,900 mi) unrefueled.[13]

Horus Heavy World Cup
More than two dozen satellites from the U.S. military, NASA and research institutions will ride into orbit on SpaceX’s second Falcon Heavy rocket launch, a mission currently scheduled for liftoff in June, a military spokesperson said.
Officials working on the mission said SpaceX has provided the Air Force and other customers a 60-day window for launch opening on June 13. The Air Force spokesperson confirmed it will be the second Falcon Heavy mission.

Populous Rostov Stadium
In anticipation of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Russia has commissioned architecture firm Populous to design the new Rostov Stadium. Inspired by ancient Kurgan burial mounds, the stadium swirls up from the ground, harmonizing with the surrounding landscape.
Cosmos Arena:
"When Russia originally made their bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 2018 there weren’t enough top-quality stadiums already in the country, so they had to commit to building new ones. One such new stadium is the Cosmos Arena, so named because the region it’s being built in, Samara, is known for its links to the space industry. On top of that, the original design of the ground makes it look a little like an asteroid."https://www.rt.com/sport/401476-samara-world-cup-russia-2018/
The first "Pharaoh" WC in 28 years plus first appearance of the 21st century, and one of the stadiums is a spaceship/asteroid (Iron throne?) The NASA/JAXA asteroid rendezvous missions commence during the WC as well:
Asteroid missions on track to reach their destinations in 2018
162173 Ryugu, provisional designation 1999 JU3, is a dark asteroid, classified as near-Earth object and potentially hazardous asteroidof the Apollo group, nearly one kilometer in diameter. It is the planned target of the Japanese space probe Hayabusa 2, a sample return mission launched in late 2014. The probe is scheduled to reach Ryugu in June 2018, and to return material from the asteroid to Earth by December 2020.The asteroid was officially named Ryugu on 5 October 2015.[4] Its name refers to Ryūgū-jō (Dragon's Palace), a wonderful and magical palace on the bottom of the ocean where Urashima Tarō, in a Japanese folktale, was brought by a turtle. When he returned, he brought back with him a mysterious box—much as Hayabusa 2 will bring back a capsule with samples.
Hayabusa/Horus is set to meet the "dragon's palace" while Osiris will encounter the phoenix egg:
Bennu phoenix cosmic egg
Firebird rising from the cosmic egg
Outbound from Earth, OSIRIS-REx will go back into quiet coasting for another lap around the sun that will take it ever closer to asteroid Bennu. Another major Deep Space Maneuver on June 19, 2018 will mark the start of the craft’s rendezvous with Bennu, comprising a series of additional maneuvers until PolyCam can acquire the asteroid in August 2018 for the start of the approach phase.
The OSIRIS-REx Approach Phase starts on August 17, 2018 when the spacecraft's long-range PolyCam will detect the asteroid.
The instrument used in the Opening of the Mouth ceremony is referred to in spell 816 of the Coffin Texts as having been broken loose from the sky by Anubis, possibly a reference to the meteoritic origin of much Egyptian iron. [Anubis is initially thought of as a sky dweller. In utterance 577 it is said that “Anubis who claims hearts … claims Osiris the king from the Gods who are on earth for the Gods who are in the sky.” In utterance 699, the king’s ascension takes place by Anubis taking his arm, and in spell 908 of the Coffin Texts Anubis is said to dwell “in the middle sky”, descending from there to assist Osiris.

OCA symbol and logo
The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) is one of the five continental associations of National Olympic Committees recognised by the International Olympic Committee. The Olympic Council of Asia is the governing body of the Olympic movement in Asia, which now brings together 45 countries.
The emblem of the Olympic Council of Asia was approved at the 25th OCA General Assembly held in Doha on 2 December 2006. The logo formed by a glowing red sun with sixteen rays and a white circle at the centre of it, surrounded by an Asian Dragon, a Falcon and the Olympic rings with the wording “Olympic Council of Asia” below it. The Dragon represents the people of East and South East Asia and is a symbol good fortune, abundance, success, power, courage, nobility, versatility and dynamism. The Falcon represents the mountain regions of the Himalayas, South and Central Asia and symbolises precision, grace, strength, vision, speed, sportiness and endurance.
DARPA’s Phoenix program also backed development of SSL’s Payload Orbital Delivery System, or PODS, the mechanism which held the PODSat spacecraft inside the Hispasat 30W-6 communications satellite during launch.
Liftoff is set for Sunday during a two-hour window opening at 12:35 a.m. EST (0535 GMT), less than three days after another Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled for launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
Both missions are slated to deploy Spanish-owned satellites in orbit: Paz, a radar observation craft, will launch from California; Hispasat 30W-6, a geostationary telecom satellite, will blast off from Florida.
SpaceX’s bi-coastal launch manifest will continue next month with the launch of 10 Iridium voice and data relay satellites from Vandenberg, followed in April by additional missions from both launch sites.
Hayabusa2 has detected Ryugu
On February 26, 2018, Hayabusa2 saw its destination -asteroid Ryugu- for the first time! The photographs were captured by the ONC-T (Optical Navigation Camera - Telescopic) onboard the spacecraft. Images were taken between noon JST on February 26th and 9:00am the following morning, with about 300 shots taken in total.

Gods of Eden: Egypt's Lost Legacy and the Genesis of Civilization
We quickly discover... that the duat [underworld] has two gates to the outside world - an entrance in the symbolic mountain of the west, where the sun sets, and an exit on the eastern horizon, where the sun rises in the morning. Each is guarded by the reclining lion or sphinx known as an aker... Together, the double aker, or akeru, was depicted in illustrations either as two lions back to back or as a single beast with two heads.
Akhet (Ancient Egyptian: Ꜣḫt; Gardiner: N27) is an Egyptian hieroglyph that represents the place where the sun rises or sets. It is translated as "horizon" or "mountain of light".[citation needed] Betrò describes it as "Mountain with the Rising Sun" and an ideogram for "horizon".[1]
Akhet appears in the Egyptian name for the Great Pyramid of Giza (Akhet Khufu) and in the assumed name of the pharaoh Akhenaten. It also appears in the name of the syncretized form of Ra and Horus, Ra-Horakhty (Rꜥ Ḥr Ꜣḫty, "Ra–Horus of the Horizons").
In Egyptian architecture, the pylon mirrored the hieroglyph.
It was also associated with recreation and rebirth.
