As
the centuries passed by, the god and goddess
worshipping cities of the Sumerians faded away.
The flourishing fields of agriculture that once
provided the underpinnings of the great Sumerian
economy were depleted of fertility through
over-irrigation, and residues of salt build-up
appeared to chaff the surface of the land. The
city-states of Sumeria; Kish, Ur, Lagash, and Umma,
damaged by a millennium of ruthless infighting
among the Sumerians, finally succumbed to militant
external forces. The barbarian armies of the
Elamites (Persians) invaded and destroyed the city
of Ur, and Amorites from the west overran the
northern province of Sumer and subsequently
established the hitherto little-known town of
Babylon as their capital. By B.C.1840, Hammurabi,
the sixth king of Babylon, conquered the remaining
cities of Sumeria and forged northern Mesopotamia
and Sumeria into a single nation. Yet the ultimate
demise of the Sumerian people did not vanquish
their ideas. Sumerian art, language, literature,
and especially religion, had been forever absorbed
into the cultures and social academics of the
nations surrounding Mesopotamia, including the
Hittite nation, the Babylonians, and the ancient
Assyrians. Ultimately a principal benefactor of
Sumeria’s ideas, and a people who would make
their own contributions to the ancient
mythologies, was an old and flourishing population
of agrarians known as the Egyptians.
By the year B.C. 1350, Egyptian dominance had
spread from Syria and Palestine into the farthest
corners of the Fertile Crescent. From northern
Mesopotamia to the Baltic Sea, the pharaohs of
Egypt had established themselves as the social and
economic leaders of the civilized world, ruling an
area more than 2,000 miles in length. The military
superiority of the Egyptian army demonstrated the
ability to subdue the threat of resistance,
maintaining a hegemony that extended from the
Nubians to the Hyksos. Even so, in the final
analysis, it was the influence of the gods of
Egypt—with their magic, myths, and
rituals—that provided the Egyptians a lasting
place in history and led succeeding generations
into an immense, enlightening description of the
ancient mythologies, including a wealth of
information regarding the dynamics and
supernatural possibilities of paganism.
Prehistoric Egyptians believed in the same
fundamental idea that most evolutionists subscribe
to today—the premise that the oceans both
preceded and in some way contributed to the
creation of the living cosmos. From the Fifth
Dynasty Pyramid Texts, the Heliopolitan theory of
creation stated that Atum (the sun god Ra)
independently created himself from a singular
expression of self will—an act visualized by the
Egyptians as a divine egg that appeared upon the
primordial waters of the all-filling ocean called
Nun, out of which Atum (meaning He who created
himself), emerged. According to myth, a second act
of creation developed around a divine masturbation
when Atum, the great “He-She,” orally
copulated himself and afterward regurgitated his
children—Shu and Tefnut—who assumed the
positions of god and goddess of air and moisture.
Later, when Shu and Tefnut became lost in the
universal ocean of Nun, Atum exhibited his
paternal care by sending out his Eye, which had
the curious habit of detaching itself from Atum
and of thinking independent thoughts, to look for
them. The Eye of Atum succeeded in finding the
child gods and eventually returned to discover
that Atum had grown impatient during the wait and
had created a second eye. In order to placate the
hostility that soon developed between the two
divine eyes, Atum affixed the first eye upon his
forehead where it was to oversee and rule the
forthcoming world of creation. Thus the Eye of
Atum became the jealous, destructive aspect of the
sun god Ra.
To avoid getting lost again in the all-filling
waters of Nun, Shu and Tefnut procreated Geb (the
earth), and Nut (the sky), and thus provided the
more stable elements of earth, nature, and the
seasons. Later, Geb was conceptualized as
cohabiting with Nut and producing four children of
his own: Seth, Osiris, Isis, and Nephthys. Of
these, Osiris and Isis grew into such powerful
cult deities that Osiris, with the help of his
sister-wife Isis, nearly overthrew Ra as the most
powerful of the gods—an action that so enraged
his brother Seth that the hateful and jealous
sibling killed him. Seth’s murderous act was
followed by the jackal-headed god, Anubis,
assisting Isis with the embalming of her slain
husband-brother Osiris, an act through which
Anubis secured his position as “the god of
embalming.” Then, while still in mourning, Isis
summoned the wisdom of Thoth, which she combined
with her own proficient magical skills, and
produced a resurrected Osiris, who, in turn,
impregnated her with Horus, the god of daylight.
Horus promptly avenged his father’s death by
killing the evil brother Seth.
Another version of the myth claims that Horus was
born to Isis only after she impregnated herself
with semen that she had taken from the corpse of
Osiris (activity that sounds suspiciously like
advanced science, artificial insemination or
cloning). The god Seth was angry and sought to
destroy Horus, and Ufologists may note with
interest how Isis seeks help from Thoth, who comes
in a flying craft—the Boat of the Celestial
Disc—as recorded in the Metternich Stela:
Then Isis sent
forth a cry to heaven and addressed her appeal
to the Boat of Millions of Years. And the
Celestial Disc stood still, and moved not from
the place where it was. And Thoth came down, and
he was provided with magical powers, and
possessed the great power… And he said: ‘O
Isis, thou goddess, thou glorious one… I have
come this day in the Boat of the Celestial Disc
from the place where it was yesterday… I have
come from the skies to save the child for his
mother.
Yet another story
claims that Seth persuaded his brother Osiris to
climb into a box, which he quickly shut and threw
into the Nile. Osiris drowned and his body floated
down the Nile river where it snagged on the limbs
of a tamarisk tree. In Byblos, Isis recovered the
body from the river bank and took it into her
care. In her absence, Seth stole the body again
and chopped it into fourteen pieces, which he
threw into the Nile. Isis searched the river bank
until she recovered every piece, except for the
genitals, which had been swallowed by a fish (Plutarch
says a crocodile). Isis simply replaced the
missing organ with a facsimile and was somehow
able to reconstruct Osiris and impregnate herself
with the ithyphallic corpse.
From this time forward Osiris was considered the
chief god of the deceased and the judge of the
netherworld—the dark and dreary underworld
region of the dead. In human form Osiris was
perceived as a mummy and, paradoxically, while he
was loved as the guarantor of life after death, he
was feared as the demonic presence that decayed
the bodies of the dead. Such necromantic worship
of Osiris grew to become an important part of
several Mediterranean religions, with his most
famous cult center being at Abydos in Upper Egypt
where an annual festival reenacted his death and
resurrection. In Abydos, Osiris was called the god
of the setting sun—the mysterious “force”
that ruled the region of the dead just beneath the
western horizon. He was venerated in this way
primarily because death, and specifically the fear
of one’s estate after death, grew to constitute
so much of Egyptian concern.
In the funerary texts known as the Book of the
Dead, the most elaborate magical steps were
developed around the Osiris myth to assist the
Egyptians with their journey into the afterlife.
It was believed that every person had a Ka—a
spiritual and invisible duplicate—and that the
Ka accompanied them throughout eternity. Since the
Ka provided each person with a resurrected body in
the kingdom of the dead, yet could not exist
without the maintenance of the earthly body, every
effort was made to preserve the human corpse. The
body was therefore mummified according to the
elaborate magic rituals passed down from Isis,
who, according to legend, singularly perfected the
rituals of mummification through her work on
Osiris. Wooden replicas of the body were also
placed in the tomb as a kind of substitute in case
the mummy was accidently destroyed, and additional
protection for the corpse was provided through the
construction of ingenious burial tombs
specifically designed to hide and preserve the
human body for all of eternity. Finally, curses
were placed throughout the tomb as a warning to
intruders.
At death the Egyptian Ka departed the human body
and, accompanied by the hymns and prayers of the
living, used the formulas memorized from the
funerary texts to outsmart the horrible demons
seeking to impede the Ka’s progress into the
kingdom (or hall) of Osiris. Arriving at the
judgment hall, the heart of the Ka was “weighed
in the balance” by Osiris and his 42 demons. If
they found the deceased lacking in virtue, he was
condemned to an eternity of hunger and thirst. If
the Ka was determined to have belonged to an
outright “sinner”, it was cut to pieces and
fed to Ammit—the miserable little goddess and
“eater of souls.” But if the deceased was
judged to have lived a virtuous life, the Ka was
granted admittance to the heavenly fields of Yaru,
where foods were abundant and pleasures unending.
The only toil in this heaven was to serve in the
grain fields of Osiris, and even this could be
obviated by placing substitutionary statues,
called shawabty, into the tomb.
There is some evidence that the 42 demons or
“judges” of Osiris were in some way related to
the prehistoric Watchers—the mysterious angelic
beings who first appeared in the early cultures of
the Middle East (discussed later). The early
Egyptian scribes viewed the leaders from among
these fallen Watchers as the underworld demons of
Osiris whose “terrible knives” exacted
judgment upon the Ka of the wicked. The Egyptians
were desperately afraid of the netherworld
Watchers, and a significant amount of time was
spent determining how to placate the judgment of
Osiris and his 42 demons. The worship of
Isis—the sister-wife of Osiris—thus became
integral. As pointed out earlier, Isis was one of
the most important goddesses of ancient mythology
and was venerated by the Egyptians, Greeks, and
Romans, as the “goddess of a thousand names”
and as the undisputed queen of magical skills. An
example of her form of magic is found in the
Theban Recension of the Book of the Dead and
depicts Isis providing a spell for controlling the
42 demons of Osiris. The formula consisted of an
amulet made of carnelian that had been soaked in
the water of ankhami flowers. It was supposed to
be placed around the neck of the dead person in
combination with the spoken words of magic. If
performed properly, it would empower the Ka of the
individual to enter into the region of the dead
under the protection of Isis, where the Ka would
thereafter move about wheresoever it wanted
without fear of the 42 demons of Osiris. The only
Egyptian who did not benefit from this particular
spell was the Pharaoh, and for a very good reason.
Although Pharaoh was considered to be the “son
of the sun god” (Ra) and the incarnation of the
falcon god Horus during his lifetime, at death he
became the Osiris—the divine judge of the
netherworld. On earth, Pharaoh’s son and
predecessor would take his place as the newly
anointed manifestation of Horus, and thus each new
generation of the pharaohs provided the gods with
a divine spokesman for the present world and for
the afterlife.
The observant reader may wonder, “was there
something more to the Pharaoh’s deification than
meets the eye?” The cult center of Amun-Ra at
Thebes may hold the answer, as it was the site of
the largest religious structure ever built—the
temple of Amun-Ra at Karnak—and the location of
many extraordinary magical rituals. The great
Temple with its 100 miles of walls and gardens
(the primary object of fascination and worship by
the nemesis of Moses—the Pharaoh of the Exodus,
Ramses II) was the place where each pharaoh
reconciled his divinity in the company of Amun-Ra
during the festival of Opet. The festival was held
at the Temple of Luxor and included a procession
of gods carried on barges up the Nile river from
Karnak to the Temple. The royal family accompanied
the gods on boats while the Egyptian laity walked
along the shore, calling aloud and making requests
of the gods. Once at Luxor, the Pharaoh and his
entourage entered the holy of holies where the
king joined his ka (the mysterious science or
ritual is unknown) and transmogrified into a
living deity, the son of Amun-Ra. Outside, large
groups of dancers and musicians waited anxiously.
When the king emerged ‘transformed,’ the crowd
erupted in gaiety. From that day forward the
Pharaoh was considered to be—just as the god
ciphered in the Great Seal of the United States
will be—the son and spiritual incarnation of the
Supreme Deity. The All-Seeing Eye of Horus/Apollo/Osiris
above the unfinished pyramid on the Great Seal
represents this spirit… and prophesies his
coming during the Novus Ordo Seclorum.
