Years ago I read “The Temple In Men” by R.A. Lubicz. A hard to read book, much of which I now only vaguely remember.
One thing that stood out was that ancient Egyptians were fascinated with symbolism, especially in the context of the human body. They built their temples, wrote texts and lived with the idea that there are things in this existence that the human mind will never be able to comprehend.
Perhaps erroneous, I can make an analogy with imaginary numbers in math. Using symbols where there are things in life that cannot be comprehended. The _equation_ of death works, it’s just that there’re parts of it that remain unknowable.
