[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kem-Au: [QB] AE's always believed that all things came from one God, who was never named or represented. A number of texts, and even a few television programs will make mention of this. Today, we have simply confused their ideology by trying to compare it to others. Here's a link: [URL=http://www.cedarseed.com/air/monoegypt.html]http://www.cedarseed.com/air/monoegypt.html[/URL] "One thing is certain: their conception was that of a One God from whom all emanated. The idea appears repeatedly in religious texts, and in their continual rivalry for supremacy, the priests of important deities like Râ and Atum claimed that "their" god was the face of this One God. He was in truth as important yet hidden as He is to most modern faiths. What then of the other deities? According to the Book of the Dead, they were personifications of the names of Râ . That did not prevent them from being worshipped and venerated, nor even to have distinct personalities. Yet the Egyptian deities are unlike any other pantheon I know of, in that they are very far from being set in stone. Their personality is nothing like the human character laid into their gods by peoples like the Greeks. They are paradoxical and fluid, and absorb contradictions with ease -- their paternity is less relevant, and their attributes adjustable at will. This is another reflection of their nature which is unlike true polytheistic religions." [/QB][/QUOTE]
