  • The ancient Egyptians were obsessed with divinity, death and the afterlife and reincarnation. Christy Kenneally visits Saqqara, south of Cairo, where the Egyptians learned the technique of mummification and built the first pyramid, an early prototype for the grand monuments of the Giza pyramid complex. He journeys on to explore the ruins at Abydos, Karnak and Luxor, arriving finally at the island of Philae, the site of the last hieroglyphics and a little-known shrine to Egypt's lost Gods.

      No god except allah and I want ask a question: how do you worship a dead person? The truth is that god raised him in the sky and the story is that our master lssa was sitting with a person who was very similar to him. And infidels took his likeness and crucified him and if you want to ask any question , I will answer it and remember, do not follow the words of your family if it is wrong, I want whatever they do with you, find the truth

Now, if we examine the religions of modern African peoples, we find that the beliefs underlying them are almost identical with those ancient Egyptian ones described above.

Shine thou with thy beams of light upon the face of the Osiris Ani, whose word is truth, for he singeth hymns of praise to thee at dawn, and he maketh thee to sit at eventide [with words of adoration]. May the soul of the Osiris Ani, whose word is truth, come forth with thee into heaven! May he set out with thee in the Matet Boat [in the morning], may he come into port in the Sektet Boat [in the evening], and may he cleave his path among the stars of heaven which never rest.
    The Osiris Ani, whose word is truth, being at peace [with his god], maketh adoration to his Lord, the Lord of Eternity, and saith:- Homage to thee, O Heru-khuti, who art the god Khepera, the self-created. When thou risest on the horizon and sheddest thy beams of light upon the Lands of the South and of the North, thou art beautiful, yea beautiful, and all the gods rejoice when they behold thee, the king of heaven.

    Hope you don't have vertigo or a seizure disorder if you are going to watch this thing, so much spinning and flickering images. Also, gods about which everyone has heard or could read if they did minor shallow research in the children's section of the local library are not the least bit lost. Perhaps the individuals making the video are the ones who got lost after spinning the camera around so much.
    Now, it does take some digging to find information to find anything about the monotheistic Pharoah though. The contemporary Egyptian Priesthood of his day were not the only ones who tried to suppress a completely Egyptian based monotheistic belief system either.

    The gods are going way further back than Egypt. The Sumarians speak of the Anunnaki. (Like Anu, Enki and Enlil) The ones that came from the heavens. The book of Enoch also speaks of Fallen Angels, that mated with human women. Their children were the nephilim. Things went out of hand over it all. Some creatures must have come to this Earth in a far past. Those spread out over the world. There are tales that the Anunnaki created slaves, human beings, to work for them. The Egyptians were not the first to build a pyramide.
