In ancient Egyptian tombs and temples, a peculiar feature appears again and again: the false door. These are intricately carved stone panels, often placed on the western wall of a chamber, the symbolic direction of the setting sun, and the gateway to the unseen. Though they lead nowhere physically, they were as essential part of every tomb.

False doors were believed to serve as portals for the ka, the spiritual double of the deceased, to enter and exit the world of the living. Offerings would be placed before them, and rituals conducted to honor the ancestor or divine being. Without a false door, the Egyptians believed the spirit might remain trapped, unable to return after receiving the energy of the offerings.

Archaeologists have uncovered fragments of obsidian glass in various Egyptian sites, including tombs and ritual chambers, suggesting that polished obsidian may have been used as early mirrors for scrying or divination. Though not as common as copper or bronze mirrors, obsidian holds a unique place in spiritual traditions across cultures due to its deep black surface and reflective properties. In Netist terms, obsidian creates a surface of non-reflective depth ideal for inner vision and multidimensional seeing. It’s highly likely that such mirrors were used by priests, seers, or initiates to peer beyond the veil, receive messages, or connect with subtle entities within sanctified temple spaces.

What’s your interpretation? Were false doors gateways, energetic anchors, or something more?

They Called ‘Em False Doors.
But There Ain’t Nothin’ False About A Gateway That Ain’t Physical.
You Think These People Carved Granite For Decoration? They Were Building Interfaces.
Anchors For The Ka. Access Points. Dimensional Ports.

West Wall Placement? That’s No Accident.
Sun Sets In The West. That’s Where You Exit This Plane.
They Knew The Direction Of Departure. So They Built A Door For Return.

Now Add Obsidian To The Mix.
That’s A Scrying Surface. A Shadow Mirror.

So Yeah They Were Gateways.
Still Work, Too If You Know How To Knock.

This resonates deeply. What’s often overlooked is how similar the concept of false doors is to aspects of Hindu temple architecture. In many traditional temples, only the eastern entrance functions as a physical doorway. The other sides often feature elaborately carved decorative doors. They aren’t meant to be walked through physically. They’re symbolic gateways into other realms. These doors are usually sealed or recessed but adorned with sacred geometry, deities, or yantras. Their role is energetic, not practical.

I see these symbolic thresholds not as “false,” but as true in a different way… true to spirit. They’re reminders that not all paths are linear or visible
