(Please read from the start)

The sistrum makes sounds, rattling sounds. I guess it depends on the design of the sistrum: there are different designs; so I’m guessing the sounds might be a tiny bit different from one sistrum to another. It’s the same principle with bells. The shape of the bell, the size and the thickness of the metal etc. all of these are factors which play into the sound made by a bell. I believe it’s the same for the sistrum. So I’m wondering is this a rattling sound like what a rattle snake does? Or is it a crackling sound like how electricity sounds? Or is it imitating the rumbling of Thunder?

I’ve attached to this page the sound one of the sistrum makes. Remember, there are different types of sistrums, so the sound can be different from one sistrum to another. I’m also putting to anons the link of another video of the sound of electricity = https://youtu.be/sC8R8otsT68

So anons, compare. What do you think? Is it close enough? If not, then do you have a proposition = alternative as to what the sistrum sound can be?

“Hathor was sometimes represented as a human face with bovine ears, seen from the front rather than in the profile-based perspective that was typical of Egyptian art. When she appears in this form, the tresses on either side of her face often curl into loops. This mask-like face was placed on the capitals of columns beginning in the late Old Kingdom. Columns of this style were used in many temples to Hathor and other goddesses.These columns have two or four faces, which may represent the duality between different aspects of the goddess or the watchfulness of Hathor of the Four Faces. The designs of Hathoric columns have a complex relationship with those of sistra. Both styles of sistrum can bear the Hathor mask on the handle, and Hathoric columns often incorporate the naos sistrum shape above the goddess's head.

Relationship with royalty

During the Early Dynastic Period, Neith was the preeminent goddess at the royal court, while in the Fourth Dynasty, Hathor became the goddess most closely linked with the king.The later dynasty's founder, Sneferu, may have built a temple to her, and a daughter of Djedefra was her first recorded priestess. Old Kingdom rulers donated resources only to temples dedicated to particular kings or to deities closely connected with kingship. Hathor was one of the few deities to receive such donations. Late Old Kingdom rulers especially promoted the cult of Hathor in the provinces, as a way of binding those regions to the royal court. She may have absorbed the traits of contemporary provincial goddesses.”

Dear anon,

The focus is not on the design of the sistrum but the instrument itself. I don't care what the sistrum looks like, as long as it's a sistrum, that's what's important for the thread. I already stated that I had difficulties in transferring the glyphs from the link. The focus was on the sequence of glyphs, that's what's important.

If you are interested, you can go into the sistrum tunnel and study it. It's a fascinating little thing and I've seen similar objects being used in Eastern Churches, always wondered if the origins is not from Ancient Egypt. Loads of research tunnels to go in. Unfortunately , I cannot go into all of them myself. I better stick to my goals.

Hope you are enjoying the read. Please be a bit patient with me, I'm doing the best I can but the issue I'm tackling is huge as you can see, it's exhausting. Loads of head scratching to do in this thread. No wonder I'm bald after all of these years. The more I advance, the more you will understand the big picture. Thank you for your patience. Have a good Sunday.
