[QUOTE]Originally posted by rahotep101: [QB] The sistrum rattle was used in Ancient Egptian rites, and also in the cult of Isis that spread into the west. [IMG]http://www.the-romans.co.uk/g4/60.isis.jpg[/IMG] Whether it was used in pre-Christian Ethiopia would be interesting to find out, but I suspect it was derived via Egyptian Coptic Christians who retained it from pagan times. Ethiopia retained a few traditions that were abandoned/lost by Christians elswhere, including certain apocryphal books of the Old Testament, (Enoch and Jubilees). The priest I showed previously is the present Coptic Pope, or Patriarch of Alexandria, (who somewhat resembles Userkaf). Before the 1960s the holders of his office would also have been the heads of the church in Ethiopia, although in practice the churches were somewhat astranged. [/QB][/QUOTE]
