Anubis Found

The Amalthea session identified a benevolent figure using the A-cipher applied to the geographic name. This session is the inverse case: a figure read as malevolent, requiring identification through a different cipher attributed to Semjaza. The proposed figure sits on the Mokapu Peninsula on the eastern coast of Oahu, with a body shape the user reads as crawling humanoid with a dog head, caught with a smaller creature in its mouth.

Mokapu, Kailua, and Kaupe

The session begins with the Hawaiian place names — Mokapu (the peninsula head), Kailua (the surrounding district). Searching Hawaiian mythology for dog-headed cannibal figures yields Kaupe, an akua-class shapeshifting being with a man’s body and the head of a brindled dog with red and black stripes. The original Hawaiian narrative places Kaupe in Lihue on Oahu and tells of his ruling Nuuanu Valley until eight people killed him, with his spirit said to remain.

Cipher Failure and Cipher Search

Direct application of the A-cipher and an attempted “J-cipher” (treating the J of Semjaza as the index point) to Kailua and Mokapu does not produce Kaupe. The session walks through this candidly: Caesar shifts, Atbash, Hebrew consonant extraction, and various rearrangement schemes all fail. The user’s working hypothesis is that Semjaza’s cipher is not a numeric letter-shift like Azazel’s but uses a different transformation method. The cipher question is left open at the end of this session and resolved in Semjaza’s Cypher (the next session) as a visual rather than numeric transformation.

Cynocephalus and Anubis

The user steers the search away from Hawaiian-language names and toward the broader Mediterranean and Egyptian record. The cynocephali (Greek for “dog-headed”) are a recurring class of figures in classical and medieval bestiaries — depicted in Egyptian, Greek, Indian, and Chinese mythology as dog-headed humanoids. Anubis, the Egyptian god of mummification and the dead, is the most prominent example. The user reads the proposed figure as a candidate Anubis identification, with the rotated profile of an Anubis bust matching the orientation of the Mokapu ear shape.

Nibhaz in 2 Kings 17:31

The session searches for a Hebrew transliteration of Anubis and finds Nibhaz (Strong’s H5026), named in 2 Kings 17:31 as one of the gods worshipped by the Avvites who were resettled in Samaria after the Assyrian deportation of Israel. Jewish exegetical tradition identifies Nibhaz as a dog-shaped deity and connects the name to nabach (“to bark”), with explicit identification with Anubis in some sources. The framework treats this as a reasonable Hebrew transliteration for the figure being read at Mokapu.

The Smaller Creature in the Mouth

Northeast of Mokapu’s snout, an underwater bluish-green form is read as a smaller caterpillar-shaped body partly in the larger figure’s mouth — identified by the user with Varaha, the boar avatar of Vishnu. The reading is that the proposed figure is in the act of consuming a beneficial “sand-producing” creature whose role is taken up in detail in the Sands of Time and Life’s a Beach sessions. The reading frames the binding of this figure not as punishment of the figure itself but as protection of the beneficial creatures it preys on.

Documented vs. Speculative

Documented: the geography of the Mokapu Peninsula and the Kailua district on Oahu; the Hawaiian Kaupe legend; the cynocephali tradition in Greek, medieval, and adjacent literature; the Egyptian Anubis cult; 2 Kings 17:31 and the Nibhaz reference in Strong’s and Jewish exegetical tradition; the Varaha boar avatar in Hindu Puranic tradition. Speculative: the reading of the Mokapu peninsula as a bound figure, the identification with Kaupe / Anubis / Nibhaz, the underwater feature as a Varaha-class creature, and the framework of cipher-recovered “true names” as a binding mechanism.

Working draft. Sources include Wikipedia and standard ethnographic references on Hawaiian mythology including the Kaupe legend; standard references on Anubis and the Egyptian funerary cult; 2 Kings 17 and Strong’s H5026 (Nibhaz); standard Puranic references on the Varaha avatar. The cipher framework and the place-as-bound-figure reading remain exploratory throughout.
