Do Ancient Egyptian Artifacts
Enshrine The Image Of Christ?
By Richard Russell Cassaro

Why did the Egyptians bury their dead with the headdress on the head, beard on the chin, and shepherd´s staff in the hand?

There is no single theory in Egyptology with unanimous support that logically explains the meaning of these funerary vestures. A new study reveals they form an image of the Christian Saviour - a bearded shepherd with long hair.

The headdress, beard, and shepherd´s staff have a symbolic meaning. They were used to transform the outward appearance of the deceased into an image of the god Osiris, the single most important Egyptian deity, and the first in recorded history to have risen from the dead.

Religion of Resurrection

"The central figure of the ancient Egyptian Religion was Osiris," wrote the late Egyptologist Sir E. A. Wallis Budge, "and the chief fundamentals of his cult were the belief in his divinity, death, resurrection, and absolute control of the destinies of the bodies and souls of men. The central point of each Osirian´s Religion was his hope of resurrection in a transformed body and of immortality, which could only be realized by him through the death and resurrection of Osiris." 1

Early in Egyptian history it was a religious custom to bury the dead kings in the image of Osiris. Later the upper classes and eventually the common masses were given an Osirian burial. The custom reflects the Egyptians quest to follow in his resurrection. Henri Frankfort, a former professor of Preclassical Antiquity at the University of London, underscored this idea: "It may be well to emphasize that the identification of the dead with Osiris was a means to an end, that is, to reach resurrection in the Hereafter." 2

The name "Osiris" (Ausar) in hieroglyphics contains the silhouette of a bearded man with long hair. This is the same image engraved on the anthropomorphic coffins. The nemes headdress, beginning on the forehead of the deceased and resting upon the shoulders, is symbolic of long hair. (The headdress was tied into a ponytail in the back of the head as is often done with long hair.) The plaited beard on the chin represents a long beard.

This discovery confronts us with a fascinating mystery: For thousands of years before the rise of Christianity the Egyptians were in a quest to follow in the resurrection of a bearded man with long hair and acquire life after death!

Osirianised coffins also display a shepherd´s staff in the left hand, a distinctly Christian symbol. (Jesus described himself as the "Good Shepherd" of the human flock. Portraits of Christ show him holding the shepherd´s staff.) The shepherd´s staff was depicted in the hands of Osiris in Egyptian artwork. In literature his epithets sa and Asar-sa mean "shepherd" and "Osiris the shepherd." The term shepherd seems an appropriate title for a beloved spiritual leader whose religion of resurrection promised life after death for the wayward soul.

Cross of Life

Incredibly, "life" after death was expressed by the ankh cross, another symbol with a counterpart in Christianity. The ankh was the most revered and prolific emblem in Egypt. It was inscribed on tombs and temples and it was depicted in the hands of gods, kings, priests, viziers, ordinary citizens, and their children. No one knows its origins. Its meaning of "life" after death is strikingly similar to the meaning of Christ´s crucifix, also symbolic of "life" after death. (Jesus´ Doctrine of Eternal Life is a recurring theme in the New Testament. In John 11:25 Jesus says: "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.")

It should be noted that symbolists see in the ankh the outline of a crucified man: the circle represents his head, the horizontal line his two arms, and the vertical line his legs nailed to the cross as one.

Day of Judgment

After his resurrection Osiris became judge of the souls of the dead. In this position he held the power to grant life in heaven to those who behaved righteously on earth. Wallis Budge explained: "the belief that Osiris was the impartial judge of men´s deeds and words, who rewarded the righteous, and punished the wicked, and ruled over a heaven which contained only sinless beings, and that he possessed the power to do these things because he had lived on earth, and suffered death, and risen from the dead, is as old as dynastic civilization in Egypt..." 3

The Day of Judgment is a central tenet of the Christian religion. The souls of the deceased shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ. Those who have followed his teachings during their lives shall be deemed righteous and be admitted to heaven. II Corinthians 5:10 says: "For we must all appear before the judgment seat [emphasis added] of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."

Depictions of Christ and Osiris as judge are remarkably similar. Michelangelo´s The Last Judgment has many common features to the Day of Judgment etched on Egyptian papyri and carved on tomb walls. In the Egyptian ceremony the heart of the deceased, symbolic of his virtue, moral character, and earthly deeds, was laid on a set of scales and weighed against a single feather representing maat, the divine law. If the scales balanced, the deceased was allowed to pass into heaven.

As judge, Osiris was always portrayed in the seated position, a posture that parallels the New Testament´s descriptions of the judgment seat of Christ.

What are we to make of these striking similarities? Did Christian scholars simply "borrow" images and symbols of Osiris from the Egyptian religion? Or does this evidence reveal a profound and hitherto undiscovered phenomenon that has been affecting the course of human civilization? By uncovering the similarities common to the Egyptian and Christian religions are we, in fact, re-discovering the sacred blueprints of an ancient Messianic tradition that has been accelerating man´s cultural and spiritual development since the beginning of history?

Myth vs. Fact

Because the story of Osiris was so well known in Egypt it was never set down in writing. As a result modern researchers cannot quite gauge the events surrounding his life, death, and resurrection. The first written accounts of Osiris come down to us from sources outside Egypt by way of ancient historians such as Diodorus Siculus (1st C. BC), Herodotus (5th C. BC), and Plutarch (1st C. AD). These classical writers describe Osiris as a semi-divine king who abolished cannibalism, taught men and women to live according to law of maat, improved their morality, and, filled with love for mankind, set out on a quest to travel the world and bring the benefits of civilization to other cultures. Their commentary continues with mythological descriptions of the murder of Osiris by a jealous brother named Seth; his rebirth, accomplished by the magic of his sister/wife, Isis; and his second death, caused again by Seth, who dismembered his body and scattered the pieces up and down the Nile. After the utter destruction of Osiris his son, Horus, defeats Seth in an epochal battle thereby vindicating his murdered father.

The myth of Osiris seems to take place half in our world and half in an enchanted world of magic and make-believe. This element of fiction is responsible, in part, for the misconception that Osiris was a fictional being. The facts left among the ruins of ancient Egypt tell an entirely different story. The Osirian religion sparked a renaissance among the ancient Nile-dwellers the effects of which impacted every facet of their primitive society. It instilled in them a high moral code, a sense of good and evil, and an inclination toward brotherly love and admiration unprecedented in human history and unparalleled by any other ancient nation.

It also fostered a highly advanced philosophy. Osiris worshippers realized the human body was neither perfect nor permanent. But they were also convinced death was not the end of their being. There was an eternal, spiritual element within them that would rise - resurrect - from the body and exist in a higher spiritual realm, provided their behavior was in accordance with a high moral code (maat). Consequently, they never became too attached to the things of this world. This is precisely the same philosophy expressed in the religion of Christianity sparked by the life, death, and resurrection of the Christian Saviour.

Phoenix in the East

The Egyptians likened the spirit of Osiris to a heavenly bird, much like Christianity portrays the soul of Jesus as a white and shining dove. The Egyptians called the bird Benu, the Greeks called it the phoenix. According to legend this magnificent creature miraculously appears in the eastern sky during fixed points in history to announce the start of a new world age. When it appears the bird mysteriously sets itself ablaze and is suddenly consumed by fire and ashes. However, it arises triumphantly from death renewed and rejuvenated.

Scholars unanimously believe the phoenix was a symbol of Osiris. German Philologist Adolf Erman explained "the soul of Osiris…dwells in the bird Benu, the phoenix…." 4 A passage from the Coffin Texts supports this observation: "I am that great Phoenix which is in On. Who is he? He is Osiris. The supervisor of what exists. Who is he? He is Osiris." 5

The attributes of Osiris as phoenix are the same attributes associated with the Christian Messiah. Both the phoenix and the Messiah appear in the eastern sky (the star of Bethlehem arose in the east heralding the newborn King). Both rise from the dead. Both embody the theme of life after death through resurrection. Both herald the star of new ages. (Christ´s appearance initiated the current age: BC/AD.) Finally, and perhaps most importantly, both are associated with the promise of a destined re-appearance (Christians are currently expecting Christ´s re-appearance, i.e., the Doctrine of the Second Coming).

What is the significance behind the parallels common to the phoenix and the Messiah? Does the phoenix myth enshrine wisdom of the appearances of a recurring Saviour in human history, a Saviour whose life, death, and resurrection was purposely designed to accelerate the development of human culture? Is there a powerful and well-guarded tradition expressed in the myth of Egypt´s enigmatic phoenix? A tradition that is now on the verge of being re-discovered?

The "FIRST TIME" of Osiris

The Egyptians associated the first appearance of the phoenix with a golden age in their history known as Zep Tepi, the "First Time." They were convinced the foundations of their civilization were established during this remote and glorious epoch. R. T. Rundle Clark, former professor of Egyptology at Manchester University, commented on the ancients conception of the First Time: "Anything whose existence or authority had to be justified or explained must be referred to the ´First Time.´ This was true for natural phenomena, rituals, royal insignia, the plans of temples, magical or medical formulae, the hieroglyphic system of writing, the calendar - the whole paraphernalia of the civilization…All that was good or efficacious was established on the principles laid down in the "First Time" - which was, therefore, a golden age of absolute perfection..." 6

The First Time seems to have been the period during which Osiris reigned as foremost king of Egypt. It was during this era that he established law (maat) and initiated worship of Ra, Egypt´s monotheistic God. Rundle Clark explained: "The reign of Osiris was a golden age, the model for subsequent generations." 7 Maat and monotheism, the "model for subsequent generations" set forth by Osiris, was the driving force behind Egyptian culture for thousands of years.

What exactly does the phrase "the First Time" mean? Is it a reference to the first appearance - the first coming - of the Christian Saviour on earth? Was there a guiding force behind the rise of Egyptian culture? The same guiding force that has inaugurated the empire of Christendom? Was the First Time an era during which an ancient Messianic tradition was first established? A tradition aimed at revealing cultural wisdom, law, and spiritual truth to mankind during different historical epochs?

Richard R. Cassaro graduated from Pace University in New York with a BA in journalism and a minor in philosophy. His groundbreaking book The Deeper Truth: Uncovering the Missing History of Egypt (www.deepertruth.com), evokes a powerful image of Osiris as the Shepherd, Messiah, and eternal King of ancient Egypt.

Fascinating trista

Does this , in some overtor oblique way, tie in with the idea that sumerians were from elsewhere, not Earth. Theya rrived had knowledge and ability beyond the humans here, did their experiments, including hybrids and then left...

That would be enough to make people revere them but also hanker after the notion of going "somewhere else" when we die? IF they were return home via a machine which had a blinding light which drew them away?

I recall reading about the cherubs guarding the walls of the Garden of Eden, with fire or something and why would this have been necessary if Adam and Eve were the only humans?

[trista]

Merl, I have a friend who said that humans are actually from another planet. The first wave came and established Mu. The second wave was the Aztlans.

Now there was a period of about a million years between waves. Another thing to note is that the longer humans are on earth, the darker they become, due to environment.

The second wave came because the home planet was being attacked. The second wave, having a few hundred thousand years to change, were much aggressive than the first wave.

This led to the Mu/Aztlan war that killed over 90% of the population.

The last vestige of the first wave survivors are found in Australia (where they migrated to safety) and became the aborigines we know now (who have distinctly different gene markers and anomalies.) Many of the humans of today are hybrids of the first and second wave hominids, to differing degrees.

Some, like the native americans, went underground to hide from the war (which is the myth of the Hopis, et. al.) that they were born from the earth.

Over time, we have forgotten where we came from and have acquired pride of racial distinction. We have forgotten we are all from the same place.

The Sumerians could have been transcribers of the legend long after the war. To the first wave hominids, the second wave (Aztlans) were like gods. It is possible that the first wave had actually changed sufficiently to become the Neandrathals. That would explain the sudden appearance of homo sapiens sapiens and disappearance of neandrathal. It would also explain the "apelike" creatures described in the Vedic texts.

Aborigines have neandrathal gene markers and look like no one else. My friend thinks that they are the closest cousin to the first wave on earth now.

[trista]

Another thing, the Mayans also have a myth of a white, bearded messiah that was to return. He was said to have come to their land. admonished them against the practice of human sacrifice and gave them laws, letters and sacred knowledge.

He also has a birdlike counterpart, the feathered serpent, Kulkulcan (later Quezacoatl.)

He will return and restore peace on earth when the time is right.

Curiouser and curiouser...

:hi: Di Krita Yuga

It IS fascinating to conisder.

If "humans" are getting darker, how dow e account for humans who are becoming "Lighter", and they absolutely do exist?

[trista]

There are some Aztlans who deliberately interbreed (like royal families and bloodlines, etc...). He thinks the Aztlans inhabited Europe and China after the ice age, where there were very few original wave hominids.

I guess takes a long time to change... It would occur over many hundreds of thousands of years between waves (he actually said around a million.)

[merlinnz]

By darker I thought you meant emotionally, mentally or spiritually, not physically. I understand now.

[trista]

I am, guest!

[merlinnz]

trista

I'll try and find that sumerian, cherubs, experimental thing.

[merlinnz]

dunno if this was what I had in mind...certain it wasn't, but here it is anyway

The ship was loaded with all that was needed and all of the animals and the
eggs, seeds and embryo’s were stored into safe storage and securely tied
down to prevent injury or damage. Only then were the travellers allowed on
and were shown to their positions. The crew went to the front and all of the
others were assigned seats in the cabin as they had little to do during the
trip.

The light came on that told everyone to secure their seat belts and brace
themselves for the pain and noise of takeoff. The green light came on and
everyone was pushed back into their seats. Their bodies became like lead and
even a small thing like moving an eyelid was impossible. Most of them
blacked out momentarily but after the initial explosive blast everything
became much more relaxed although movement was still impossible. Through the
clouds they went and out into the bright sunshine, which danced on the tops
of the cloud making a red and yellow design on the puffs of kapok.

Looking down through the clear areas the hills now looked like grains of
sand. And the water had a dark silver shine about it. On they travelled and
the ball of their old homeland now looked like a mixing bowl of cake mix
with the swirls of the beater being plainly visible

And now it was quiet. In fact deathly quiet. What was wrong, there should be
noise. But then it was realised that their ears were not yet used to the
lack of pressure and we were temporarily deaf.

Those in charge of the animals and eggs were getting ready to see to them
and inspect how they had survived the takeoff. This was now the most urgent
job of the trip as even the crew driving the ark were completely surplus
now. The computer was totally in control of all operations for the next
twenty years. Most heart beats were now running at about 100 per minute or
higher as the nerves had taken over. Everyone knew of the fate of the
previous expeditions. They all knew that landings had been successful but
they were all doomed to stay on this new land as their crafts had been
destroyed on landing.

But they did know that the remnants of those trips over the last 200,000
years could still be alive a have a community going. But where were they? No
one knew, as all contact had been lost. This was the third attempt to get a
viable community started, The first of the modern travellers was from the
people of the north some 200,000 years previously when the Af’s, a dark
skinned tall people had made the trip. It was known that they landed and
that they had set about mining the fertile minerals of the hot arid
continent they had settled on, but little was known of their fate. Could
they and the later group still be alive? Or for that matter would this group
of multi-nationals even get to their destination? And of course they all
knew of the legends of the Giants with their immense lizard like pets who
were supposed to have travelled from the next galaxy some millions of years
ago. Did this happen? It was just considered to be a colourful legend by
everyone because they all knew that no-one could travel through space that
early in time. But what if some of these things are still there. The few
radio messages to be received from the earlier trips only spoke of some
strange animals the likes that had never been seen before. But nothing
really fearsome.

No one even spared a thought for the other known group from the other planet
in their system. They all knew of the Chi’s who took off about 150,000 years
ago but there wasn’t a thought spared for them. Those little narrow eyed
people were nothing more than scum not fit for taking the garbage out. Of
course this was a stupid thought as many had settled on their own planet and
fitted in very well. In fact there were at least ten of them on this trip
and they just got on and did the jobs required of them without any trouble
at all. But old legends of them being a dirty stupid race had developed out
of fear rather than from any actual truth.

But now was not the time for thinking of the fate of others.

One more check on the animals and the gas would start coming in through the
vents to put us all to sleep for the next part of the long journey. The
speaker starts counting down from ten, nine, eight, sev………….



There was a gentle hum as the engines were being checked. But what are those
stars and what is that globe off to the port side. Covered in cloud it was
impossible to see anything but then we were still about a million miles
away.

The leaders of the group, RJ, Seeker and Zoeman with their commanders held a
meeting with maps and computers and charts that had been sent back from the
previous drone ships. They knew very well there had only been three known
previous attempts to colonise this planet and all had met with disaster on
the return trip. But over the last million years there had been many drone
ships sent to seed the planet with trees and grasses to get an atmosphere
suitable to their needs. The previous ships of discovery had made successful
landings and had set up camps where they checked out the mineral worth of
the earth. So called after the first commander EA who made landfall in the
centre of a very large land-mass in the hottest part of the globe. He was
successful in creating a race of slaves to mine the minerals from the
ground. Who knows some of these may still be alive down there. They didn’t
know anything about what happened to them. In fact they can only suppose
that there are no inhabitants to greet them. If there are will they be
friendly?

And of greatest concern have any of our enemies from other planets arrived
here before? Again they just don’t know. They suppose the Chi’s are there
but as a nation they are very secretive. But the ten Chi’s on this trip are
certain their forefathers have a base down there but is just vanity talking?
They have always told the world they are superior to the people of Isis.

The ship is now travelling at 100,000 miles an hour as it hurtles toward the
planet. It must be settled into an orbit around the planet so that complete
mapping can be made of the surface to find the best site for a landing and
starting a camp.


Smoke was gently wafting up from a camp in the trees. So a close up was
zoomed into this area to find what was the source. The resulting photographs
showed a small group of upright “people” with small round huts and some very
strange looking animals nearby with what can only be described as having a
tail at both ends. And others that had necks so long they could reach the
upstairs room of a hotel at home.

The next orbit showed another lot of inhabitants to the north in an area
that is hemmed in by a high mountain range. But nothing more. All the
pictures showed was that they are upright walking and they live in groups.

An area with sea to the East and West with a very narrow passageway giving
protection from the “men” to the south and the mountains to the Northeast
looked like a suitable site to land. From the probes sent down there appears
to be sufficient water and very fertile river flats to grow crops. And the
land is flat enough to land on.

The entering of the atmosphere was terrifying, the heat, the vibrations, the
screams of the passengers of this now seemingly tiny craft. Just when it
seemed that we were all doomed to die in a fiery explosion everything went
smooth again and they were inside the atmosphere of Earth.

Then the craft seemed to tip on its back and slowly descend backwards. The
engines were making a noise that would waken the dead. And the dust that was
being flung up past our windows. How can the computers see what they are
doing?

And then it is silent again. Everyone stay at your stations please the
speaker bellows. We have to do a number of checks before you can venture
out.




Fences were built, water was piped, shelter was created. And only then were
the animals allowed out. It was really funny watching the animals finding
their legs again. And the birds feeble attempts to fly after being in
confinement for so long. But the most exciting thing was going to be getting
an incubator going to hatch the eggs that had survived the trip. And of
course getting the embryo’s started on their journey into life. What will
happen? Will the embryo’s actually come to life in the artificial womb?

The hardships of these pioneers was terrible. They were used to all of the
luxuries of life and now there was nothing. All they had was knowledge that
they had bought with them. But as was the custom of these people only one
person of every generation was allowed the complete knowledge of everlasting
life. And that was the Seeker, the searcher of the truth, Lord of all around
him. Commonly known by his associates as Al. His brother Zoeman was privy to
some of the knowledge but not all. He was entitled along with brother RJ and
sister Melissa to have access to the medicine that gave everlasting life but
had no idea how Al actually made it. All they knew was it had something to
do with the mineral Gold and that the medicine they drank every day had a
base of blood. Not any blood, it had to be the blood of a pure bred royalist
not thinned down by any common infusion. And it had to be full of the
hormones that only the royalty of Isis could supply. On this trip there was
only one Goddess capable of supplying this mixture. And that was Melissa.


Al’s first job was to set up his laboratory with all of its burners and pots
and benches was set up in a stone building high up on a mountain looking
down on the small but growing village below. He spent most of his time up
there leaving the main business of day to day running of the village to
Zoeman and RJ. This trust would prove to be his undoing in future years as
already plotting was already under way to depose him.

Where there is life there is also death and the custom of the people of Isis
was to send their dead to a place where everlasting life in the spirit world
was allowed. To do this a special group of “monuments” had to be built where
a special shaft was pointed direct from the inside toward the spirit-world.
A special concoction was made by Al and when the bodies where treated with
this there became a fire like flash and the bodies disappeared forever
through the shaft and out to who knows where. They became known as pyres
through the associated fires and later the word was changed to pyreamid as
the pyres were situated in their midst.

To make such structures was an easy task as Al had a very great knowledge of
how to make things lighter. Al and his chemistry set could do marvellous
things with the gold the group was mining and smelting. Not only was it used
for general health but with certain additives known only to Al could be made
into a anti gravity dust. Sprinkle on to any matter and there was no weight.
A twenty ton block became as a feather. From this came the word alchemy.
No-one after Al would ever completely know this secret.


After a few hundred years the animals and birds had become completely stable
in their breeding and it was time to spread them around the rest of the
various islands and continents. So a group was sent of in one of the
whirlwinds with a supply of young animals and a large basket of eggs and an
incubator. Their instructions were to land and set up a colony of birds and
animals on each of the land masses and then leave. The range of animals and
birds on board were various varieties of parrot, eagle, finch, gull (even
though the gulls had spread fairly wide in a very short time), rail, and of
course the large ratite birds that could not fly. The animals were all sorts
of mammals, dogs, bears, varieties of cattle, cats, pigs, horses and a whole
lot of really strange looking furry creatures that lived in trees.

They first travelled across a large ocean to a very large area in the east
which stretched from the northern ice cap to the southern wasteland. They
dropped off many birds and animals here which included some of the big cats
and the soaring eagles. But the favourites of the crew were the big cattle.
Magnificent beasts they were. Already there were large grey animals with a
tail at both ends and immense tusks. They were not unlike the grey animals
they had seen on first mapping the globe but were much larger. It took about
a hundred years to get this area populated from the top to the bottom and
then it was time to travel across to the one large island further to the
east.

Here and on a small split island to the south they dropped off large
flightless birds the same as they had on the previous stop. They were so
large a man could ride on them and they could run at a speed faster than any
cat. There were no cats left but they did have dogs and some weird things
that jumped along using their tail. They let off the multi-coloured parrots
which squawked and chattered in the trees and also the slow fluffy tree
animals that could only live on the gum trees of this area.

Their job was done and they stated back to home base when disaster hit just
as they were crossing the waves on the northern shores. A dust storm clogged
the engine of the whirlwind and they crashed into the water.

On the shore there was a pathetically lonely sight of a small black man
standing waiting to see if any of his friends had survived. In what seemed
like an eternity two others struggled to shore through the breakers and they
were the only ones left out of the crew of fifty.

Two females and one male left to fend for themselves against the elements.
They trudged inland and managed to get some shelter from the dust. But what
to eat as hunger was getting overbearing. One of the women found an old log
and managed to scratch out some grubs. From this original three the
aboriginal people of Australia descended. They were the most simple minded
and basic group that could ever be imagined. They had no knowledge handed
down to them of any of the advancements that their dead friends had as the
original three were really just the slaves of the group.

But they developed a very strong spirit world around themselves and revered
the original three as being the gods of the willy willy. The original three
had spoken of a whirlwind that flew through the air with a spinning movement
that travelled at great speed and made lots of dust. The only thing they
could imagine like this was the small willy willy that flung the dust into
the air and scurried across the desert like a ghost. So that must be where
the spirits of their dead family must be.



The job of mining for gold was getting a bit onerous and more hands were
needed to get the job done. RJ with his ability to make tools was doing his
best but it was getting too hard to get what was needed. A high priest
meeting was needed to decide what was to be done.

It was decided to attempt to get some of those people from in the south to
do the work so a troop of men was sent off to bring back about twenty men
and women.

The group of 35 bought back were almost ebony in colour. They were
magnificent specimens of humanity about 6ft tall and able to run at a speed
never seen by anyone before. But as a workforce they were hopeless. They
broke more tools than RJ could make in the next hundred years. In fact it
was a complete disaster. So Al suggested that if these magnificent beings
were mated with, a people with brains and purpose could be created.

The eyes went to the High Priestess Melissa. Who exploded with indignancy.
Not a snowballs chance in hades or similar was her immediate answer. So Al
went back to his chemistry set and did a bit of cell mixing of both Melissa
and one of the best black men available.

After these cells were growing he transplanted the embryo back into Melissa
who now is known as the mother of earth. The first baby was a male and was
called Adama. This is a generic name and actually means Earthbound in the
old language.

The same sequence was again done and a female was created and called Ava.

When these two grew up, Al the seeker of the truth and Lord of all around
him could see that these two children of his would have a great nation
descending from them. So a line of kings was needed to lead them through the
life ahead. But at present this bloodline was of half high priest and half
sand dweller from the south. So Al, the Lord of all around him decided to
strengthen one twig of this new breed of earthbeings. He impregnated Ava
with his seed. Ava was heard to say “I have gotten me a man by the Lord” and
he was called Cain. “His line will make the blood of my second son Able
earthbound by comparison.”

In the meantime Zoeman was plotting a take over but was not willing to show
his hand completely. He took a vial of medicine to Adama and gave it to him.
Upon returning to Al he told his brother “he is one of us now” Al was
furious and kicked Zoeman out of the compound immediately calling him a
snake and other non complimentary things as he went.

Cain was a strapping young man and thrived on his daily dose of medicine
that came from Al’s chemistry set. He proved to be everything that Al
expected from him and in time he was married to Al’s own daughter to make an
almost pure bred high priest line of kings to lead the Egyptian people.

But Al knew that Cain was at risk from Zoeman, so he put a curse on all who
may harm him. His threat was to suffer the family of any aggressor sevenfold
which would be even worse than death.

And this line of kings from Cain went on through thousands of years and all
in it knew the knowledge of the secrets of everlasting life.

Not long after Cain was married to the daughter of Al, Enoch was born and he
proved to be a favourite of Al. On Enoch’s 30th birthday Al took Enoch on a
trip around the kingdom of Al. With his trusted Angel Uriel they flew in
their whirlwind to every point on the compass and saw every great thing that
Al and his supporters had created.

This was actually a going away present from Enoch as Al was booked onto a
trip back to his homeland where he had to attend a meeting of the Great
kings of the realm. This was to be Zoeman’s ideal opportunity to take over
and cause some really great damage.

Prior to his leaving Al visited Lamech who was his great grandson seven
times removed and spoke with Lamech’s wife. He informed her that she was to
carry the child of the world. Her next son would be special as the future
would know of him as the great boat builder who carried all of the animals
and started the new race on earth. However she was to know nothing of it.
She was put into a deep sleep when she had an embryo direct from Al and
Melissa inserted into her to carry.

The baby was born and everyone was very startled by its appearance. This
child was different. Instead of being of a dark skin it was pink with blue
eyes and hair as white as snow.

Lamech was beside himself with rage. He imagined his wife had been with the
angels or the soldiers as this child was surely not from his blood. The
child and the mother were threatened with death for being unfaithful but
Methusula stepped in to take Lamech to the ever knowing and wise Enoch.
Enoch chastened Lamech for being so threatening as this child was known to
be the re-progenator of the human race. And as such was not to be touched by
anyone.



After the child Noah was born Al had to leave to attend the council of the
great High Priests back in Isis. He put the protection of the world in the
hands of his brother Zoeman who really let his new found and unexpected
power take over.

The first was to Nuke the two main nests of intelligence and supporters of
Al. So Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. Zoeman knew that if you dilute the
intelligence levels of a nation the followers very soon are ripe for picking
off.

But Zoeman did not stop there. He decided to clean out all of the followers
of Al from the face of the earth. He was also fairly good with a chemist set
and spent hours in Al’s chemistry laboratory making cloud seeding chemicals
so that he could bring the followers of Al to their knees by flooding. He
waited until the cloud formation was just right and then flew back and forth
over them seeding the little fluffy clouds into angry black storm clouds
that rained for months on end until everyone in the garden of Eden was
drowned.

Zoeman and his followers had taken over. He had sacked Al’s stronghold on
the mountain and all of Al’s followers had had to flee for their lives.
Zoeman’s followers came down from the mountain and just took over all that
had been Al’s, the women, the crops, the houses, everything was now his. No
longer was Al the Lord of all of Earth. But he was soon to return from afar.

Al sent for Enoch to visit him in his craft he called heaven, where Al was
briefed of all that had happened in his absence.

The first action was to send Enoch to visit Zoeman and give him an
ultimatum. Give up or die. This was very unusual for Al as he was a man of
peace. But these are desperate times and require desperate measures. Zoeman
just snubbed Enoch so after all of the children of Cain were out of the way
in safe keeping Al started raining a hail of destruction from above. Zoeman
lost the battle but not the war as he still had a large pocket of support in
the central area.

Al delivered his people back to their rightful places where with the
abilities of RJ and Al’s alchemy set they set about building a great stature
of the lion star of the east in reverence to their great leader Al. This was
set out in the south of the Garden of Eden near where the great pointed
pyres of the dead were situated.

Al and Zoeman made an agreement. Al would stay out of the way in heaven and
allow Zoeman to run the business on earth but there was one proviso. All of
the descendants of Cain would not be touched and could continue to be the
king line of Egypt. However by this time Zoeman was old and without Al’s
medicine was losing his hold on his long life.

The baby Moses had been found in the swamps of the Nile and Al decided that
this was to be the new earth assistant to his realm. He had him educated by
the most knowledgeable of his Pharoahs in all of the ways of his handed down
secrets and in time visited him directly. Moses and his assistant Jasper
made many a trip to visit Al in his secret fortress on the mountain. Each
time Moses was told a bit more of the blueprint for a quiet life on earth.
His most prized knowledge was to be the commandments that were to be
imprinted into the brain of every man on earth.

On one of Al’s trips away Zoeman broke into the fortress on the mountain. He
sent for Moses to visit him. When Moses arrived at the mountain he was
surprised to see a stranger in place of Al and asked who he was. The answer
was that he was who he was. This was ultimately altered and changed to mean
Jehovah. So now Zoeman had managed to become Jehovah. If there was one
attribute that Zoeman had it was his ability to communicate and he managed
to convince Moses that he was working directly to Als directions and that
all who disobeyed him would be most cruelly punished for their disobedience.
Moses and the Israelites were not about to become corpses so after about
forty years wandering around outside the temple they agreed to follow
Jehovah instead of Al, even though they still considered Al to be the Lord
of all around him.

After the death of Zoeman his cause started to fragment and the priests
started to add their own ideals into any doctrine and the birth place of man
became the birth place of anarchy. Al and Enoch and his leaders watched from
above planning to bring back law and order to earth, but it would have to be
done through the king line of Cain so that the bloodline was pure.

Al selected out a couple who were about to be married and visited them in a
secret place. He explained that there were two requirements to being the
parents of the saviour of the world. Firstly the mother must be what is
called a virgin which means to be of pure blood and secondly the husband
must be able to be a father to a son who is not actually his blood son. This
was agreed upon and Mary was taken away to be impregnated by the seed of the
lord.

The coming birth was known about in all corners of the kingdom and many
representatives came to wish mother and child well for the future.

Al spent many years showing his son all of the tricks that would be needed
to wow the crowd. Making wine from water was sure to be a hit among the
public, especially on a hot sultry evening. He was also shown the art of
casting a net where the fish actually are with the aid of a bit of burley in
the right place. Looking after the unclean was a bit of a challenge but he
had the medicine so if he caught something he could take a double dose and
clean up the spots almost immediately.

He gathered up a group of twelve followers and travelled the kingdom
teaching the difference between good and evil and during his journey he met
a really nice young lady who caught his eye. Upon sitting on a rock with
this young lady and her chaperone he discovered she is a direct descendant
of the female line of Al’s daughter who married Cain and was fully entitled
to wear the scarlet robe she had over her shoulders. He realised this was
the meeting made in heaven that His father Al spoke of but he had read the
books that were written in the future and could see that there was no
mention of marriage in the books.

But the books are not always correct as he really hit it off with this
scarlet woman and they were married under the shade of an olive grove in the
summer of 26. Unfortunately his life was not to be long and the medicine
could not prevent a violent death at the hands of some of Zoemans
supporters.

Al’s needs were now fulfilled so he departed to live a life of leisure in
his little place in heaven.


And so endeth the lesson for today.

Hello Trista

The story of Osirus is symbolic.
We know Thoth was the teacher of humanity but all wisdom came from Osirius and Isis, the male creative principle and the female principle. 72 was said to be the number of conspirators that killed Osiris.
This knowledge encodes the number 72 which is the number of degrees it takes for as sky body to move through one degree across the sky.
Thoth was said to play a game with the moon and won his 72 parts of the light and added 5 making the 365 days, but the original was 360 degrees an full circle.
When 72 years is mulitplied by the 360 degrees it comes to 25, 920 years for each heavenly cycle to be completed. This number refers to Precession of the Equinox.

Osiris was the Axis Munde around which the heavens appear to revolve and he became the world pillar the link between heaven and earth. Orion was at that time called the Spirit of Osirus.
The mummy wrappings were what grew out of the story of Osirus being encased in a tree, and instead of a tree it became his wrappings. This early symbolism was lost as the later Egyptians fell into a age of darkness and forgot the meaning behind the symbols. The founders of Memphis totally changed the story which encoded Precession in favor ot Ptah the new personification of Osirus.

The story of Osirus study seems to be copied but the later versions have lost the numerical secrets to the Precession which is preserved by the Mayans.

I read only today Trista that a group traveled to the Yucatan to spread the word on Precession so that must why they like the early Egyptians held the secret.

Peace and love to you.

Merl, what is that book you're reading... Is it based on traslations or a piece of fiction? It's really trippy. Kewl.

Tree, the spiritual resides in everything and may have a corresponding relationship within what we call the material plane. I don't know exactly where one ends and the other begins.

I am not surprised that there is a mathematical system encoded in the Osirus myth. Mathematics were the language a lot of ancient civilizations used to communicate through.

Consider a series of geometrical proportions associated with the Great Pyramid that indicated a precision of workmanship and knowledge of the Earth and the solar system beyond any information that should have been available to the ancient Egyptians. For example:

• The base lenth of the Great Pyramid x 43,200 is equal to the equatorial circumference of Earth, with better than 1% accuracy.
  
• The height x 43,200 is equal to the Earth's polar radius, accurate to 0.2%. (Note: Whoever build the pyramids knew that Earth wasn't a perfect sphere, for there were different measures for the equatorial and polar circumferences.)
  
• 4,320 is the number of years for Earth to move through two zodiacal signs, or one sixth of the precession of the equinoxes, the 25,000-year cycle.
  
• The three main pyramids at Giza mimic the stars of Orion's Belt in size and arrangement, and they are time-encoded to form a perfect alignment with their celestial companions, but only in 10,450 B.C. (The same date given in the Edgar Cayce and Ra readings.)
  
• Each of the Pyramid's four walls, when measured as a straight line, is 9,131 "Egyptian" inches long for a total of 35,524 inches. The exact length of the solar year is 365.24 days.
  
• The Great Pyramid's perimeter-to-height ratio is exactly 2 pi. The pi constant in mathematics was not discovered until much later.
  
• The Pyramid is located at the exact center of the Earth's landmass. Its East-West axis lies exactly on the longest land parallel - passing through Africa, Asia and America. The longest land meridian, through Asia, Africa, Europe and Antartica also passes right through the Pyramid.
  
• The sides of the Pyramid are very slightly and evenly bowed in, or concave. a pilot taking arial photos discovered this effect around 1940. Today's laser instruments show that perfect concavity precisely duplicates the curvature of the Earth.

To me the thing fascinating thing about Osirus/Jesus, is that it is a recurring theme and idea which is still alive today. So its power has endured, as well as the idea of a "messiah." It seems to me that the message of the meme may have some large significance.

trista

it's not a book...it's an original composition by someone I used to know. He posted it at a forum to poke Christians

he's the one who told me about cherubs guarding the garden of eden fro other humans, not animals...because within were the products of experimentation and ... to keep the newly created hybrid pure, they intermarried... hence egyptian pharoahs married sisters...
