User blog:Em11235/"The Clue" Interpretation

Hey everybody!!

I was just thinking about the clue from House of Revelations/House of Questions:

When the dark son is born in the English sky/ And the children's children sleep the day by/ Give the loop of fire to the sleeping man/ And the dark son of Egypt will rise again.

And I did some research and I think I may have found answers to what each of these lines mean.

Ok so the first line, the dark son, is most likely referring to the god Anubis because he is associated with darkness and death. I also found some interesting things about Anubis's father. Set (Anubis's father), also known as Seth, was the god of frightening and fearful natural occurrences such as earthquakes, thunderstorms, and ,most interestingly,eclipses. Set was also the god of desert which makes up most of Egypt. So I think that the dark son of Egypt refers to Anubis.

I think that the first part of the second line, children's children, has something to do with the students being related to the expedition party.

Now for the second part of that line...

So I was thinking about what really happens during a solar eclipse. The moon goes in front of the sun. Okay, big deal. Well, another thing that happens is in the short time of "total darkness" which usually lasts for about two minutes. During total darkness, the day turns to night. It gets so dark you can see the stars. And because this line mentions sleeping which, for the most part, is a night time thing, and it's mentioning it during the day, I believe that this line refers to the totality of the solar eclipse.

Now for the loop of fire. Again, during a solar eclipse the moon slowly moves in front of the sun. In the moment of "total darkness" the only visible light is the light of the sun's corona which looks peculiarly like a loop of fire.

And then the last line. I think this line is fairly similar to the first when it mentions the dark son. Again, if we are assuming that the dark son is Anubis, then I think this line means that Anubis will come to power through the cursed body of Robert Frobisher Smythe who is peacefully and creepily sleeping away in that lovely tank.

If I'm wrong, tell me...politely.:) Call me crazy but I think that some of these may be somewhat of the real meaning if not already. So tell me what you think!!
