From the depth of centuries, legends of
Kemi Land reach us. They tell about the
great spiritual Sun, which gives life to all
beings…
The "Life-Giver" stone is quite unusual in appearance. It recalls the time of Pharaoh Akhenaten, the great reformer of ancient Egypt. A well-known stele depicts the pharaoh himself with his wife, the beautiful Nefertiti, and their young children. Above their heads, the sun shines, extending its rays toward them, each ending in a palm, as if conveying something to us. This same sun is depicted on the crown of the stone. Its disk is formed by a very small area, significantly offset from the center. Rays emanate from this disk—thin, matte lines that end in slightly bent palms. But, unlike the Greek Labyrinth, where polished square cells are formed by intersecting horizontal and vertical lines, here the diverging rays intersect four ellipses, the distance between which constantly changes. On the pavilion, we see a square pyramid, composed of individual blocks, also formed by matte lines. When the stones are tilted, the sides of the pyramid extend into high arches. This symbol of the Sun, ruling over the world and giving Life to all things, has come to us from ancient times and is evident in many world religions. But the first attempts at philosophical understanding of it can be traced back to ancient Egypt.
