Thou dost renew thy youth, and thou dost set thyself in the place where thou wast yesterday. Thus, it is clear that the ancient Egyptians believed the Sun to be reborn after every total solar eclipse and renews her youth. Thus, we are now sure that in the Heliopolitan cosmogony, the Sun was born in a solar eclipse. We can now define the Benben Stone as the earliest rays of the Sun to emerge after totality, the diamond ring. There the pharaoh is united with his devine father Re.
Earlier explanations suppose it was for the ka of the king.
Also, to the east or south of the king's pyramid we find the pyramids of the queens. I believe the satellite pyramid and the of the Queens were most probably depicted from Bailey's Beads. I believe solar eclipses, a spectacular phenomenon in which the day turns to night for a few minutes were the reason behind this revolution. I now believe a step pyramid might have represented the gradual appearance of the Sun after totality. It could be also a representation of the daily change of the azimuth of the rising Sun over the year, which is a step pyramid of many degrees.
