[QUOTE]Originally posted by Myra Wysinger: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Supercar: It is funny you should mention the [b]Rainmaker[/b] king, because I posted something pertaining to this a while back: . . . . it was a good idea to open up this topic, since some of the things mentioned about these possible connections, which were previously spread out in different threads, may well now be placed under one thread.[/QUOTE]I would like to add a quote from another thread posted by Ausar: "Here is an excerpt from a book by Cyril Aldred about the rainmaker king: But although the purely archeological evidence might appear to demonstrate a parallel development in the two areas, we know that in fact this, though superfically existing in material culture, was not the product of indentical societies, nor was it leading to such state of affairs. In Mesopotamia the beginnings of little independent city-states under tutelary gods, rulers, councils and assemblies are perceptible, though later to be submerged in a familar pattern of oriental despotism, but in Egypt from the beginning we are able to glimpse that essentially African figure, the [b]omnipotent, rainmaking, god-king.[/b] The prehistoric cheiftain, a rainmaker and medicine-man, with magic power over the weather and therefore able to keep his people in health and prosperity becomes with the founding of the first, the Pharoah, a divine king being in command over the Nile and able to substain and protect the notion." page 9 Cyril Aldred Egypt to the End of the Old Kingdom following text taken from The Dawn of Civilization by Professor Stuart Piggott [/QB][/QUOTE]
