[QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by BlessedbyHorus: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: It's true that there's some influence of Ancient Egypt on Hebrew people, but on the religious angle Hebrew people made something completely different that what existed in Ancient Egypt or even Ancient Greece or Romes (before constantine). [/QUOTE]All I'm saying is that Africans played big parts in the history of the three main religions than you think. Whether the first practitioners of those religions were black or not is anyones guess imi. And both parties offer compelling arguments. As for the Hebrew religious angle being completely different from what was practiced in Egypt; I don't know how true, but there are some good arguments that suggest that the early Jews were Atenist. [/qb][/QUOTE]The Jewish religions is completely different than Akhenaton's religion (which is like the Ancient Egyptian religion twisted for his own purpose by a megalomaniac) which was himself an heretic king in relation to Ancient Egyptian spiritual traditions (of diversity and tolerance). As soon as he died, Ancient Egyptians, including his mother iirc, rejected anything related to Akhenaten and abandoned the city. But you still must see the irony of people trying to make linkage between an heretic king who was destroying religious traditions of diversity and tolerance in Ancient Egypt with their own religions (not that it's anywhere written in their religious books). Akhenaten, which was some kind of megalomaniac, didn't last long and the previous religious traditions were quickly restored after his death. In short, Akhenaten broke with traditions and that's why christians and muslims in some quarters like him so much. Pitiful. [QUOTE]I don't know about Christianity or Islam, but weren't the people of Jerusalem allied with pagan people AKA the Kushites/Ethiopians? [/QUOTE]Yes, as you know I talked about the 'Rescue of Jerusalem' which is an excellent book on this forum before. People can be allied without having the same exact culture or tradition (beside a culture - a worldview- of tolerance and respect of what is different I guess). In fact, usually people becomes allies without having the same culture, that's what being allied means which is different than being colonized and coerced into an union. By definition, an alliance is the joining of 2 or more [b]DIFFERENT[/b] people or groups for a common purpose. [/QB][/QUOTE]
