Egyptian religion — one of most ancient on the Earth. During long time Ancient Egypt was a powerful hearth of the highest spiritual culture of mankind. Ancient Egyptians were the successors of God's Doctrine of Ancient Atlanteans. And also Ancient Egypt civilization was lost for the same reasons, as civilization of Atlanteans.Today Egypt is Muslim country with mystic Sufi schools present.

^Okay, you have finally lost your privilege to be taken seriously with all this "Atlantean" stuff. You do realize that there is no evidence for the existence of an Atlantis. At least not one of some super-advanced civilization that pre-dates Egypt.

Perhaps the problem is in the name 'Atlantis'.

Could there be a 'place' (perhaps in the Sahara ) where Ancient Egyptians did recieve their initiation?Posts: 3423 | From: the jungle - when y'all stop playing games, call me. | Registered: Jul 2006

Djehuti, you don't have to attack people because because of beliefs you deem as improbable. You should simply apply logic and explain to them why said beliefs are improbable. Although I don't believe in the Atlantean theory, people are entitled to this theory but should validate it with some evidence.
What we know of ancient Egyptian spirtuality is based on rather scarce evidence. We really donot have much reliable documentation which leads to abuse by all scholars. If the western Egyptologist is correct then ancient Egypt was a elitist society where the commoner rarely were invovled in matters of the temple. Is the following the truth or fiction. We don't really know nor can we truly claim anything definitive without evidence.

I think when a new person comes here they should just be welcomed and made to feel comfortable instead of being immediately jumped on.
Believe it or not some folks don't know much, or are innocently sharing what they do know from the mainstream, or have alternate takes on reality. It's all good.
Let's just teache them what we know without bad mouthing or judging them. We don't know what potential lies in any individual. With the right cultivation there's no telling where one can go once grounded in our interpretations.
Who knows we may've already shied away someone on to a path to producing documentaries or some other wide ranging medium, or someone entering the fields of archaeology, anthropology, genetics, etc., who'd have a eye for the things we bring out and who'd take to the elite academic level it needs to reach in order to become the reigning mainstream model.
Agenda bearers will make themselves recognized because they won't be able to hide it for long.
We just need to be more respectful in general and apply the tolerance to others we expect for ourselves.

i actually think that the ancient egyptians came from space. lol really!! how is it that they had more knowledge of how the world worked and of all the heavens and stuff without any technology whatsoever. they even constructed things that last forever. these days, even with all the tech we got, we cant build a sturdy building for crap.
i wish i lived back then...i mean, they invented beer and crack! looool

The reason why it seems like they came from space is because the history of human development towards civilization stretches back long before there was an Egypt. Then, when Egypt did arise, they had 3,000 years (at least) of continuous history and development. 3,000 years is a long time to learn all the math and science that we consider as "amazing" or "advanced", yet consider that so-called "modern" math and science is only 2,000 years old, going back to the Greeks, which itself is a result of knowledge collected from thousands of years before that. Likewise, it has only been in the last 400 years that applications of such mathematics produced the tremendous leap in technological innovation we see in terms of technology and industry.
People must not forget, however, that man has been around for more than 60,000 years and the details of much of that history is lost. Likewise,cars, planes, computers and other such devices are something that man has NOT had or needed for MOST of their existence to produce works of art and architecture that are seemingly "from space". This just goes to show how little we actually know about human history from 4,000 years or more ago. Actually, some would say that modern math is only derived from the fragments of what survived from a larger body of collected knowledge from thousands of years ago. Everything must be kept in perspective and many things have been lost, only to be rediscovered. Unfortunately, ancient kingdoms didnt have memory sticks to dump the collective knowledge they accumulated over thousands of years on, to pass onto us. And if they did, it would not have survived anyway.
As a matter of fact, there is no guarantee that our so-called advanced civilization will survive another 3,000 years, given the rate at which we are destroying the environment. Modern technology is not necessarily the ultimate in human existence as humans live on nature, not technology.

Sorry Ausar, and I especially apologize to you, Inmybackgarden. I never meant to sound so rude about it, but I am very weary of the pseudo-scientific theories regarding ancient history and cultures. The Atlantis is a common one.
I do believe if an Atlantis does exist, it is probably a civilization located somewhere in the Mediterranean. Many scholars think it was situated somewhere between Crete and the Cyclades as evidence of an advanced culture there in that area is surfacing. However I am against the belief that Atlantean civilization had things like flying vehicles and space-age techonology LOL. Unless we have evidence of it, I don't buy it.
Meanwhile if you want to discuss actual Egyptian religion we have plent yof it take your pick:
polytheism or pantheism
ancestor veneration
divine kingship
the power of words both spoken and written
the practice of magic (voodoo)
religious festivals
priesthood
other religious customs

^We have no evidence for the existence of Atlantis and it would be pseudo-scientific to claim otherwise.

Judging by the ancient Kemetian texts, as well as modern day practices in Africa, magic was thought of as a basic power all living beings with spirits are capable of. It was just a basic spiritual belief common to many Africans. Because this belief is rooted in cultures from Egypt to West Africa and other corners of Africa, it is a belief that may have existed since before the development of these various cultures and perhaps since humanity.

It relates to Heka or the "life force" which the Egyptians considered "magical" in nature. The blue lotus was a symbol of Ra, because it had a yellow center and Ra, as well as other dieties, were sometimes depicted rising out of Lotus flowers.

"Black magic" is a European phrase for bad or evil magic. This goes counter to the Egyptian view that black is good or positive.

^ The figures on poles that Ausar (Osiris) stands between are strikingly similar to others some peoples in West Africa have as pointed out by Diop. These figures were dubbed "fetish" items by Europeans but were used for religious purposes.
Does anyone remember what these figures were? Cuz I forgot.
