According to Pliny the Elder, the blemios, headless mythological beings, were Nubians. Velázquez had Pliny's Natural History in his library. In Hereford's Mappa Mundi (1300) a couple of bels appears, walking along the Nile River. The man carries an arrow and a basket. Nubia was known as "Tai-Seiti", the land of the "bow people", a population that was difficult to subdue. In front of him is the woman with the staff of command, like that of the prophet Moses and a magic rod or measuring rod, both with their genitals well marked. They were pharaohs of Egypt, great craftsmen and they say they were the first potters. The archaeological site of Nabta Playa, 1,000 years before Stonehenge, is a clear precursor of Egyptian cosmology.
Hathor, the Egyptian goddess of Nubian origin, her image always refers to a cow, with her typical spiral braids, which would be dreadlocks with that horn shape. It was known as "the one with the braid", that same spiral with which baskets have been woven for 10,000 years in Egypt. Along with some studies of spirals by Dürer, from his book on geometry, a copy of which Velázquez had in his workshop. Velázquez uses this golden spiral, divine proportion, in the composition of Las Meninas to take us, guided by this hypnotic spiral, to the heart of the Infanta.
The Virgin of Atocha in Madrid is a wooden carving from the s. XIII and is patron saint of the Monarchy, its name comes from the plant with which esparto grass is made to weave baskets. King Felipe IV went to see it 3,400 times, according to what a clergyman from the basilica patiently noted. The Black Madonnas are historically related to the Egyptian goddess Isis, and she appears with the sun disk in the background and the moon under her feet. On the right Isis with her son Horus with the solar disc and the horns (or the moon) on her head, the divine attributes of the goddess Hathor.

The Secret Revelations of John.
Once Jesus of Nazareth died, the apostle John was made to doubt the teachings of his teacher by a Pharisee and an Arimanian (¿) and he went to the mountain to meditate. Suddenly the heavens opened and an ineffable light appeared to him, it was Jesus Christ.
9- "He told me: "John, why do you hesitate? 10- Because you are not a stranger to this analogy. Do not be cowardly! 11- I am the one who always dwells in you. 12- I am the Father. I I am the Mother. I am the Son. 13- I am the one who always exists, without stain and without mixture. 14- Now I have come to instruct you about what is and what has come to be. 15- So that you understand things that are invisible and those that are visible, 16- to teach you about the Perfect Human".

"I saw a long gold dart in my hands, and at the end of the iron it seemed to me to have a little fire. This seemed to me to put it through the heart sometimes, and that it reached my entrails. When I took it out, it seemed to me that it carried them with it and left me all ablaze with the great love of God."
