INKARA
(A name for this time I'm living, me, my work, my loves, my sorrow.
MEANING of my name: IN-me; KA-my soul; RE/RA-my believes)

In this time, now, I am seeking the beginning of me. The beginning of my soul.

I have a riddle that I work on - many people wonder about the ancient monuments of Egypt. Some, like the writers, Robert Bauval and Graham hancock, (who are a great Inspiration for my Egyptian Women studies) study it and bring it into context with the beginning of time. The genesis of civilization. They use the position of certain stars in the ancient sky of Egypt seen from the pyramids of Giza. They travel back in time with the help of computer re-constructions to the cross quarter day that fell on the winter solstice and the vernal equinox in 10500 BC gazing east towards the edge of the horizon of Giza, matching sky ground images.

With their "facts" in mind and my soul, feelings, imagination and lost love, the answers that I'm seeking are: When was my soul born, and who was also born with me? Was I Isis who loved Osiris, still, and will I find him again like that time on the banks of the Nile, and love him even if it is only for a very short time?

They seek a room full of answers 100 feet beneath the rear paws of the Sphinx.

I will also find answers at the end (of time).

Ancient Egyptians were particularly creative in the arts of body and facial decoration. Many unguents were applied to guard against the dry climate of the Nile valley. Perfumes were widely used. Honey and beeswax featured in many creams and was also used as a fashion accessory. It was shaped into cones for women to wear on their heads, as it warmed up the wax would slowly melt and release exotic aromas.
