(Dua Pose)
The pose you see me doing you will see often on the Temple reliefs if you join us on one of our tours. Dua means adorations and when you see it on the reliefs it is being done to acknowledge the essence of a person that is beyond physicality. The essence of a person which is Divine.
This pose is depicted numerous times on the reliefs in most of the temples and often combined with making some sort of offering. What was worthy of such adoration to the ancient Kamitan aka Egyptian people you may be wondering? That which is “real.”
That which is physical, or physicality is always in a state of deterioration. Hence it is always changing and does not stay the same. However, there is an “essence” that gives rise to physicality which never changes. It is the same today as it was yesterday and will be the same tomorrow. This “essence” is infinite and transcendental. It is this “essence” that the people of ancient Africa considered to be “real.” It is this “essence” that they continuously gave reverence to through the Dua pose.
