Orbital resonance:
9:14 with Venus (99.6%)  *[7:11 with Venus (99.3%)]
1:4 with Mercury (99.6%)
-
17:3 with Europa (99.8%)
9:2 with Eunomia (99.4%)
9:2 with Juno (99.0%)


Egiptian mythology

Amun was an invisible god with hidden power. He was on top of the other gods, but manifested through them. He was venerated especially in Thebes, the capital of Upper Egypt.

(3554) Amun represents the ability to resolve logical puzzles, such as the ones in the graphical adventures of video games that appeared from the time of its discovery, such as "Maniac Mansion" (1987), "The Secret of Monkey Island" (1989) and "Loom" (1990), which evolved and perfected in the following decades, from sagas of video games like "Tomb Raider" (1996) and "Uncharted" (2007).

Logical puzzles of video games are resolved by performing a series of steps, which sequentially link different physical elements to form a logical structure, by pulleys, gears, beams of light or pressure areas.

In general, (3554) Amun is related with the ability to resolve logic riddles and math problems, or to design computer programs (1:4 resonance with Mercury).

(326290) Akhenaten, freedom and naturalness of the instinctive behavior

(326290) Akhenaten is an aten asteroid discovered in April of 1998. There is a prediscovery image back to April of 1993.

The orbit is between the aphelion of Mercury and Earth-Mars. It has a perihelion of 0.49 AU and an aphelion of 1.26 AU. The semimajor axis is at 0.87 AU. It has an orbital period of 299 days. It has an inclination of 3.3º. It has a diameter of about 100 m.

Orbital resonance:
3:4 with Venus (99.9%)
5:17 with Mercury (99.8%)
11:9 with Earth-Moon (99.7%)
16:7 with Mars (99.6%)


Egiptian mythology

Akhenaten completely changed the conception of art of Ancient Egypt, by ordering that all living creatures should be represented just as such. Thus, children ceased to be mere miniature of adults and the birds ceased to be represented in a rigid posture and appeared in full flight. Even the Pharaoh was represented in the company of his wife Nefertiti and his six daughters in scenes of extraordinary intimacy.

The prediscovery of (326290) Akhenaten, clashed with the movie "Jurassic Park" (1993) and the discovery, with the movie "Godzilla" (1998) and "Mighty Joe Young" (1998).

(326290) Akhenaten is related with the freedom and naturalness of the instinctive behavior, especially in sexual expression.

(136818) Selqet, small details in an object, that lead to a totally new conception of its meaning

(136818) Selqet is an aten asteroid discovered in June of 1997.

It has a perihelion of 0.61 AU and an aphelion of 1.26 AU. The semimajor axis is at 0.93 AU. It has an orbital period of 332 days. It has an inclination of  12.7º. [uncertainty=2; H=19.1]


Orbital resonance:

Egyptian mythology

Selqet was the goddess scorpion. Offered special protection to children and pregnant women in front of poisonous animals. Also protected to Ra, each night, during its journey through the underground world, especially in front of unexpected dangers, such as the attacks of the serpent Apofis.

"Uncharted" (PS3, 2007)

Many dangerous animals and insects are camouflaged in the natural environment and it is difficult to recognize them. What at first seemed to be a stone, a sheet or a branch, becomes another thing by looking from close approach to see the details.

(136818) Selqet is related to the small details in an object, that lead to a totally new conception of its meaning.

"Anacondas 2" (2004)

Egyptian mythology

Apophis was the Greek name of Apep, the Egyptian god of destruction who dwell in the eternal darkness.

Apophis was a gigantic snake, powerful and indestructible, whose role was to interrupt the night run of the solar boat of Ra, before it reach the new day. To achieve his objective, he stired the fund to cause sand banks to made run aground the boat.

(99942) Apophis is related with marks and indications of danger, that force direction to be reoriented, when advancing through a risky field (9:8 resonance with the Earth-Moon system). The advance is fluid most of the time, except in singular points, which are highlighted in an environment of natural forms of great beauty.

(3362) Khufu, developing the appropriate strategies or techniques to fight opponents who seemed invulnerable

(3362) Khufu is an aten asteroid discovered in August of 1984.
 
Its orbit is located between Mercury and Mars; forms an orbital piercing from Mercury to Venus. It has a perihelion of 0.52 AU and an aphelion of 1.45 AU. The semimajor axis is at 0.98 AU. It has an orbital period of 359 days. It has an inclination of 9.9º (quartinovile@10º, 0º05' orb).

Orbital resonance:
5:8 with Venus (%100.0)
21:11 with Mars (99.9)
-
17:3 with Hygiea (99.9)
14:3 with Ceres (99.7)
25:6 with Amphitrite (99.6) 


Egyptian mythology

Named for the Egyptian god-king Khufu, better known by his Greek name of Cheops, a pharoah of the 29th century B.C. and builder of the largest of the great pyramids at Giza, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

The discovery of the asteroid Khufu coincided with the popularization of martial arts films, like "Karate Kid" (1984), in which the protagonist first lost against the bad guy, but then developed a special technique, with which he finally managed to beat him.

"Ghouls 'n Ghosts" (Capcom, 1988)

It also coincided with the popularization of video games, like "Kung Fu Master" (1984), in which at the end of each phase or at the end of the game itself, a particularly difficult boss or monster awaited, which, however, due to it was a character controlled by the computer and limited to its artificial intelligence, sooner or later, one became familiar with its movements and ended up discovering its weak points and the way to beat him.

Similarly, the asteroid Khufu is related with the ability to develop appropriate strategies or techniques to fight opponents --who initially may  seem invulnerable-- by closely observing their movements.

"Karate Kid" (2010)

Jackie Chan, actor of the movie "Karate Kid" (2010), has Khufu in Aries (10th Moon-Node House) in opposition to the Black Moon; and in binovile with the Lunar Node in Capricorn (1st Moon-Node House, cusp).

(3753) Cruithne, intelligent and powerful phrase

(3753) Cruithne is an aten asteroid in 1:1 resonance with the Earth discovered in October of 1983 and rediscovered in October of 1986 [1983 UH=1986 TO]. There are prediscovery images back to November of 1979, October of 1975 and October of 1973. The dinamics of the orbit was understood in the year 1997, it is between Mercury and Mars, but constantly modified by the gravity of the Earth (co-orbital asteroid). It has a perihelion of 0.48 AU and an aphelion of 1.51 AU. It has an inclination of 19.8º.

Named for the most common term used by the Irish for the Picts--one of the ancient peoples of Scotland. 'Cruithne' was the eponymous ancestor of the Picts, and it was his seven sons who gave their names to the seven divisions of the Pictish Kingdom. 

The word Picts comes from 'picti' in latin meaning 'the painted' or 'the tattooed'; the world could also come from 'peihta' in celtic, previous popular etymology, meaning 'fighter'.

Brands, tattoos and piercings of tribal warrior

 
With (3753) Cruithne, body language acquires great importance. First, through the distance and relative position of the body during the communication; and second, through the physical appearance, which includes the body (tattoos, hair and beard), clothing (corporate or official uniform, for example) and equipment (tools or weapons).

(4034) Vishnu
"Labyrinth" (1986)

(3753) Cruithne represents the powerful and intelligent phrase, full of will, that inclines the balance of a discussion towards victory, like Luck at the end of the movie "Star Wars. Episode VI - The Return of the Jedi" (1983).

(5381) Sekhmet, talisman of peace

(5381) Sekhmet is an aten asteroid discovered in May of 1991. A satellite was discovered in May of 2003. It has a perihelion of 0.7 AU and an aphelion of 1.2 AU (orbit between Venus and Earth-Mars).

"Brother Bear" (2003)

Egyptian mythology

Ra deceived Sekhmet adding red colouring in the beer, so that it resembled blood. Sekhmet, after becoming drank and falling down incapacitated, gived up the intention of killing humanity.

From an astrological stand point, (5381) Sekhmet is not at all related with drugs that cancel will, but with material objects that symbolize peace or promote union, like the necklaces in the movies "Brother Bear" (2003), "Whale Rider" (2002), "Witch" (2001, 2003) and "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" (2003), or the Book of Peace in the movie "Sinbad and the Legend of the Seven Seas" (2003).

(2340) Hathor, stone inscription

(2340) Hathor is an aten asteroid discovered in October of 1976 and rediscovered in 1981. It has a perihelion of 0.5 AU and an aphelion of 1.2 AU (orbit between Mercury and Earth-Mars).

(2340) Hathor is related with information in text format (Mercury) that is print in a physical support (Earth), like the stone and medallion inscription in the movie "Indiana Jones and the Lost Arc" (1981) or the '666' mark of the devil in the movie "The Omen" (1976). More usual examples are books, pamphlet or a curriculum.

(137924) 2000 BD19, Sun-Mars combination

(137924) 2000 BD19 is an aten asteroid discovered in January of 2000. It has a perihelion of 0.1 AU and an aphelion of 1.7 AU (Sun-Mars combination). There is a prediscovery image back to February of 1997.

(137924) 2000 BD19 combines the male energy of Mars with self-command of the Sun, like in the movies "Erin Brokovich" (2000), "The Beach" (1999), "The Patriot" (2000), the end of "Perfect Storm" (2000) and "Final Destination" (2000).

"How To Train Your Dragon" (2010)

The personality of the girls from the movie "Coyote Ugly" (2000), like the ideology of the Spice Girls described in their book "Girl Power!" (1997), are representatives of the Sun-Mars combination of (137924) 2000 BD19.

(15263) 1992 BF, desiring to be liked by a large group of people

(152563) 1992 BF (152563) 1992 BF is an aten asteroid discovered in January of 1992. There is a prediscovery image back to January of 1953, announced in 2002 and explained by the Yarkovsky effect in 2006.
 
Its orbit is between Mercury-Venus and Earth/Moon-Mars.It has a perihelion of 0.66 AU and an aphelion of 1.15 AU. The semimajor axis is at 0.90 AU. It has an orbital period of 317 days.

At the beginning of the book for children "Little Red Caboose" (Marian Potter, 1953), is described how excited become people near the trails every time the train passes: they stop what they are doing and turn to greet and see the train. But almost everyone returned back to what they were doing before the last wagon passes. That lack of attention was a sad experience for the Little Red Caboose at the bottom of the train (with the security brake).

Things changed after the day that the Little Red Caboose saved the train --when it didn't have enough steam to climb the high mountain--, because everybody saved their best greetings for the end.

"Hannah Montana - The Movie" (2009)

On the one hand, (15263) 1992 BF feels the desire to be liked by a large group of people and adapts easily to the situation and the circumstances (12:17 resonance with Venus). And on the other hand, (15263) 1992 BF has a great ability to communicate approval toward the people admired, just when the opportunity appears (13:6 resonance with Mars).
