5. Apis Bull
An image of a bull standing in a lotus-shaped boat is seen in the Deir el Bahari hillside in simulacrum. Art that matches this image is seen most often on temple ceilings and is understood to be the zodiac constellations, Taurus. This depiction of Taurus in a boat can then be understood to represent the constellation Taurus on the horizon within the ecliptic. In fact all of the constellations are depicted in this manner, which only strengthens the theory that the ecliptic horizons are indeed portrayed using boat symbolism, as the constellations cycle on the eastern horizon in the course of one year.
