>>22879719>ShalomThe Hebrew shalom derives from shalam, which means "to be safe."
So, also, with the Maltese "sliema" which also means "safety."
"Peace" and "safety" are allied terms but, in a sense, is not also "stability"?
Now, as it happens, the Egyptian word "sharm" means "to be peaceful," but also "to be idle" that is "to be doing nothing," which negates motion.
Another Egyptian word meaning "to be at peace" is "heri", but "heri" also means "to rest."
The Egyptian word most commonly used for "to be at peace," however, is hetep which also means "to repose," "to rest," and "to be at rest."
This, then, raises the question: Given that Atum was described as being fixed in the middle of the sky, what is the logical characteristic to be allotted him when he is stated to have been "em hetep" to have been at peace, or to have been at rest?
This, incidentally, brings us back to the god Imhotep -the same as Em Hetep - and makes us ask the question:
Was Imhotep really the deified architect who built Djosers pyramid, as generally believed?
Or was he yet another manifestation of the immobile god we have learned to recognize as Saturn?
also the city you call Jerusalem/Salem was named in honor and dedicated to the god Shalem/Shulman.
this god was worshipped there and can be traced at least to the time of Israels United Monarchy.
Also rendered "Shulman" or "Shulmanu", this gods name gave Jedidiah, son of David and king of Israel, his more popular name of Solomon. Rendered Shlomoh in Hebrew, this monarchs name has also been stated to have been derived from shalom. (member the Arabic salam and Maltese sliema.)
The probability, however, is that both the monarchs name and the word for "peace" derived from the name of the god.
Slomoh (Shlomoh) means "belonging to Salim"
Biblical theophoric names derived from Shalem are common including the names of kings of Israel and Judah.
Among such names we find: Shallum, Shelemiah, Shelomi, Shelomith (or Shulamit),
