How many slabs of knowledge did atum leave for people? God atum - ruler of both lands

Atum

Atum- god of creation in ancient Egyptian mythology. It symbolized the original and eternal unity of all things. According to the Heliopolis legend, Atum, who created himself, arose together with the primordial hill (with which he was identified) from the primary chaos - the ocean (sometimes called the father of Atum).

Atum arose from the primary chaos in the form of a serpent or ichneumon, but is usually depicted as a man with a double crown on his head (his epithet is “lord of both lands,” that is, Upper and Lower Egypt), sometimes depicted as an old man.

He is the personification of the original chaos from which all things came. He is "self-arising"; before heaven separated from earth, he was the “single master.” In the Pyramid Texts it appears as the original mountain; also in the form of a scarab, which seems to come out of the ground if you think about it. A large granite scarab on the sacred lake at Karnak is dedicated to Atum. Another form of representation of the god could be the snake as a chthonic animal.

Atum is the creator god of the world (demiurge) and the sun god, guardian of world law. In many texts it is called Atum-Ra - the evening, setting sun. Subsequently, the veneration of Atum was pushed aside by the cult identified with him (Ra-Atum).

In Memphis, Atum's origins were traced back to. Atum was identified both with him and with (Khepri in a number of “Pyramid Texts” is called the creator of Osiris), (Atum-Apis). He became close to Osiris (“the living Apis-Asiris is the ruler of the sky of Atum with two horns on his head”). In the myth about the extermination of people, Atum (or) heads the council of gods, at which the lioness goddess

He was usually depicted as a man (often an old man) with a double crown on his head and was called “the ruler of both lands,” i.e. Upper and Lower Egypt, which emphasizes its essential connection with the pharaoh. But he was also depicted in the form of his sacred animals: a lion, a bull, a mongoose (ichneumon), a lizard, a monkey and a dung beetle (scarab). The last image should not confuse the modern reader - the scarab among the Egyptians was a symbol of the sun, which, in turn, was generated by the fact that the scarab persistently rolled its dung ball through the desert, so reminiscent in its shape of the blessed sun.

As follows from the Heliopolis views on the nature of the universe, the Egyptian god Atum created himself, incarnated in the image of a primeval hill - Ben-Ben, which emerged from the watery chaos - Nuna, then fertilized himself, swallowing his own seed, gave birth, spitting out of himself, Shu (god air) and its female complement Tefnut (goddess of moisture), from which the rest of the Ennead deities (Geb, Nut, Osiris, Isis, Set and Nephthys) then descended. Separately, the hand of Atum was revered as the goddess Iusat (sometimes she is described as his shadow).

In Memphis, it was believed that its origin was connected with such a deity as Ptah (Ptah), their images were often identified. In Memphis legends he also merges with Khepri. Khepri-Atum is called “the creator of Osiris” in some of the Pyramid Texts. He also became close to Apis-Osiris.

God taking Pharaoh to heaven

According to the ideas of the Ancient Kingdom, the Egyptian god Atum took the soul of the deceased pharaoh from the pyramid to the starry heavens, which allowed the earthly ruler to begin his eternal afterlife as a celestial god.

That is, Atum plays an important role in the religious and ideological justification for the construction of pyramids in Ancient Egypt and ensuring the immortality of the pharaohs.

He later becomes a protector not only for the pharaoh, but also for all the dead during their journey in the afterlife.

Atum - sun god

Although Atum is the same sun deity as Ra, they were at first separate deities. This is understandable, since each locality had its own divine personalities. Following the unification of the lands, a certain “unification” of the gods also took place. Already the “Pyramid Texts” from the Old Kingdom in a certain way connect these two personalities in Ra-Atum.

Egyptian priests associated different sun gods with different phases of the sun. Khepri became the morning sun, and Atum began to be considered the evening sun.

According to the cosmogonic views contained in the Book of the Dead, it is this deity who, at the end of time, will destroy everything that he himself created, returning the world to the original state in which it was before the act of creation - the primordial ocean. There he, turning into a snake, will live with Osiris.

During the era of the New Kingdom, his cult was gradually pushed aside and merged with the cult of Ra, which took on the attributes of this ancient solar deity.

It will also be interesting to watch.

/Continuation of the story with the torn off beards of the Egyptian “sphinxes”/
Beginning of the plot:

".. O Egypt, Egypt! Your existence will cease and only incredible tales will remain from you for future generations and nothing will be preserved from your treasures except words carved on stone..."

Hermes

Atom (from ancient Greek ἄτομος - indivisible, uncut).

There is every reason to consider this word to be Indo-European in origin, since the Hatti, and the proto-Greeks and others repeatedly carried out cultural expansion and colonization, and not vice versa. Below we will find confirmation of this more than once.

Atum arose together with the primordial hill (with which he was identified) from the primary chaos - the ocean. The story of the mountain (hill) is a classic Indo-European myth about Meru. It is found everywhere throughout the world (in all countries).

It is not clear how this idea rose to prominence in a country of deserts, flat and flat? Why did the proto-Egyptian suddenly focus on this subject?

Atum arose from the primary chaos in the form of a snake or ichneumon (mongoose). Those. the motive of both the snake fighter and his opponent - Uria (snake) in one bottle. Fairly high matter. The mountain gives birth to everything, both evil and good.

Interestingly, the Mountain itself does not have any name. The African name is in no hurry to sing hymns to the Mount Ancestress!? For some reason! The Meru man sang to his Mountain (Maura, Meru, Mira, Mari, etc.).

Perhaps the Meru Culture adapted to a local, male, aggressive environment with its monster gods in this way. An environment for which the word MaRaLa was not familiar would not be able to perceive the Cult of MataRa with its Feminine nature. But since it was necessary to live in the environment, Atum appears, and MaataRa goes under the radar. The name Ma becomes the Great Secret, owned by sorcerer-priests, complete rulers of thoughts and the emerging aboriginal aristocracy. The Great Initiates of Meru use their own language, foreign to the majority of the population, in sacred actions. The situation is completely similar to India and, according to Maar, in RiMa, as min.. I think that such a picture was observed throughout the periphery of MiRan: in India and Indonesia, Iran (large), in the Middle East (everywhere), in Europe ( everywhere). Everywhere the Cult of Mother Meru was removed to adapt to the wild environment, without the Cult of Ra. In Egypt, the last and most distant territory, the process took place last, as I see it. and relatively peaceful. The Greeks and Persians are much tougher, I think.

Atum is, overall, a pretty advanced idea. The only thing missing is the Image of Great Virtue and the general absence of the cult of the Earth. As we will see later, there is no full-fledged cult of the Sun (sacral) either.

Atum, for the most part, does not appear in the guise of a man-beast. Usually depicted as a man with a double crown on his head (his epithet is “lord of both lands.”

Sometimes he was depicted as an old man. The sacred animal was the bull.

He is the personification of the original chaos from which all things came. He is "self-arising"; before heaven separated from earth, he was the “single master.” The idea of ​​the separation of heaven from earth at the first creation is the main myth of Meru. In the Pyramid Texts it appears as the original mountain.

A large granite scarab on the sacred lake at Karnak is dedicated to Atum. Another form of representation of the god could be the snake as a chthonic animal.

In the “Book of the Dead” (chapter 175), Atum tells Osiris about the end of the world, that he will again destroy everything created, and he himself will again turn into a snake. Like other demiurges, he embodies both the feminine and masculine principles. Hand of Atum - goddess Iusat. Having fertilized himself (swallowed his own seed), Atum gave birth, spitting out of his mouth, the twin gods of air - Shu and moisture - Tefnut, from which came the earth - Geb and the sky - Nut. From the latter Osiris, Isis, and Set are born.

In some texts it is called Atum-Ra - the evening, setting sun. Subsequently, the veneration of Atum was pushed aside by the cult of Ra, identified with him (Ra-Atum). Atum was identified with Ra from the earliest times.

In the myth of the extermination of people, Atum (or Nun) heads the council of gods, at which the lioness goddess Hathor-Sekhmet was tasked with punishing people who plotted evil against Ra. In another myth, an angry Atum threatens to destroy everything he has created and turn the world into a water element.

All these different names of the same gods (revealing the same essence) indicate that the Kumirian names of the Gods go into the indigenous mass already by definitions (concepts); the African Namer hears the Sacred Words, delves into their essence and applies them to the world he understands. For example, he applies Hat Gor Meru to the object closest to him - his native goddess SekhMet. And Horus, and even more so Ra, become for him already Definitions of the Concept, but not the Name. That is, Ra-Atum for an aborigine is simply God Atum. And nothing more. The great secret of Ra is already hidden for him. The secret is kept by the initiated.

We see a completely similar situation in India. Varuna is always mentioned in pairs with someone: MiRa-Varuna, Rudra-Varuna, Indra-Varuna. What confused the researchers was that they viewed them as two separate gods, and looked for the reasons for such a joint mention. And the subsequent generations of wise Hindus themselves (Tilak, for example) already thought so, not to mention the common people (99.9%) In the reality of Varuna, - meant as an epithet - the Creator, the Divine Creator, the Radiator. Regardless of the gender of the creature it is applied to. That is, the indicated connections must be understood as: Indus (Heavenly) Ra (God) - (t) Varuna (creator) / (Ind - distance, blueness), Mat (mother) Ra (god) - (t) Varuna ( creator). Source Ra has also already disappeared.

Shu is the Egyptian air deity, son of Atum, brother and husband of Tefnut. After Atum's identification with Ra, he was considered the son of Ra. A very interesting character. His name can be of any origin. I have already stuttered in many places that there is a divine Ku. Time to get to know him. Have you heard the Cuckoo, my Friend? How enigmatic and mysterious she is - the voice of the lower world where MatRa takes her children back. Ku-desnik (the maker of Ku) knows Tu Meru. This is the Mountain, the Upper World. Where the falcon GoRa only knows the way. But the main herald of the great Ku (Ko) is the Rooster (Ptah). Ptah greets YERO, anticipates the arrival, and offers praise. We owe the divine Ko, Ka and Ku to the bird. Thank you my SoRush! You disperse the night MaRaKa (god's punishment), protect from the machinations of evil night spirits sent by the sorceress Kere-meta (among the people of Mari)

But the main thing is Ko. KoLo is the main thing, the Throne Name of YAR.

Previously, I believed that the Sacred Ku passed into Su directly, as a result of borrowing, and Shu was another modification. Now, from the position of the imitative (animal) theory, it is natural to assume that Shu was borrowed from the snake, or rather. The noise of the Divine Vayu (wind, wind) is also possible, which is even more true in this particular case, for Shu is Air / Vo (vayu) (c) Spirit (Vo zdeyan. Spirit). In general, this is the air with us, Ari. Sometimes it's water too. The Hamites have the air of Shu. Here, perhaps, I will again find myself on the side of Academician Maar and his theory of confusion of languages, which contradicts the biblical theory of language transmission). On the other hand, it may sometimes seem that the Indo-Europeans literally taught the proto-Egyptians how to add syllables and sounds. There are combinations of syllables that are clearly alien to Ari's hearing. But there are a lot of familiar sounds: Mut - Mother, Nut (night goddess of heaven, giving birth and swallowing stars), Ptah, the same, etc.

In short, Shu may be of local origin.

During the creation of the universe, Shu raised the sky - Nut - from the earth - Hebe and then supported it with outstretched hands. When Ra, after his reign, sat on the back of a celestial cow, Shu also supported her with his hands. There is an interesting message here for us. Where did Ra go after his reign? Those. - Has God gone? Then - when did Ra reign? If it all started with Atum? Let me remind you that the text of the pyramids does not connect Atum and Ra in any way, this is later. Too much speculation has accumulated around the Source Myth at all times. And I'm there too))

Thus, Shu is the god of airspace. Later myths told about the reign of Shu on earth together with Tefnut after the departure of Ra: “His Majesty Shu was an excellent king of the sky, the earth, the underworld, the waters, the winds, the floods, the mountains, the sea.”

Tefnut. Tefnut, a laudatory name for the Nubian cat, is the goddess of moisture and heat in Egyptian mythology. Which, in itself, may already indicate the African origin of the idol.

What's interesting is that it's a cat again. I remembered old Maar again. He argued that all people, no matter where they are, will inevitably begin to coo, coo and howl in the same words, literally. speak with the same syllables. That is, if everyone suddenly forgot their languages, they would again begin to build speech using the same roots (RaMa/SuRa/, etc. - for example). And he even proposed a table of nine such roots, apparently others, by the way. Something like the periodic table in languages. In light of my discoveries about cats and dogs, the idea itself no longer seems so stupid to me. However, we will carefully hold off on the question of localization for the KultaRa source for now.

So here is Tefnut. Aryan roots are not visible at first glance. It could also be connected with cats by the later tradition of deification of cats, since it is not associated with hooting, mowing, etc.

The very attention to moisture and heat also indicates aboriginal origin. Among the Ari, the inhabitants of the north, Fire and the Sun are sacred, which is natural. A person from hot and arid Africa has different standards of values. His main subject is Water. The sun is generally hostile to him. In this sense, Tefnut is a true African. And her place in the mostly Aryan pantheon is a great honor, and indicates her deep reverence among the aboriginal people.

According to the Heliopolis myth, Tefnut and her husband Shu are the first pair of twin gods, generated by Atum (Ra-Atum). Their children are Geb (earth) and Nut (sky).

They said about her: “The daughter of Ra is on his forehead.” Tefnut shines like a fiery eye in his forehead and burns the enemies of the great God. In this capacity, Tefnut was identified with the goddess Uto (Uraeus). It is interesting here that Tefnut herself is a fiery eye!? And it burns!? Isn't she herself the Sun? It's obvious! However, the sun is Kara Tefnut. Its benefit is moisture, water. Tefnut could, in prehistoric times, generally have been the supreme goddess of the African aborigines, before being placed in the World pantheon. This explains her high position. Interestingly, she is also a catwoman, only in reverse. That is, Namerek sees the beast in man, and not vice versa - man in the beast. This also applies to the vast majority of local (auth.) god-creatures.

In the world of Ari, among the contemporaries of the pyramids, monster gods are no longer found anywhere. Exceptions are distant myths and legends, which also speaks in favor of Pompey Trog’s statement that the Egyptians are the youngest people on earth.

It is interesting that the Egyptians did not teach their cat MauRaKat, which may cast doubt on the Maara theory, unless one assumes that the Meru people did not teach Africans to speak at all.

The hypostasis of Tefnut was the goddess of flame Upes. There is a well-known myth according to which Tefnut - the Eye of Ra - retired to Nubia (and a period of drought began in Egypt), and then, at the request of her father, who sent Thoth and Shu for her, Onuris returned back. The arrival of Tefnut from Nubia and her subsequent marriage to Shu foreshadow the flowering of nature. There is a clear primacy of the water cult here. The trouble is when the moisture leaves, and not the sun. Among the northern peoples, of course, it’s the other way around. Tefnut was also identified with Mut i.e. with Mother.

Geb-Earth

The upside-down world of the Ancient Egyptians continues to amaze. Their earth is a man, and their sky is a woman!? For Ari, as we well know, everything is exactly the opposite. The Hamites did not identify the Sacred connection between the Earth-Generation and the Mother, which is damn strange! From this we can judge that the aboriginal population had not yet switched to a sedentary economy, and, perhaps, did not even go beyond the boundaries of hunting and gathering at the time of the appearance of Meru. On the other hand, what could this land please them with? The desert is inhospitable, stingy and boring.

Geb is the ancient Egyptian god of the earth, the son of Shu and Tefnut, the brother and husband of Nut and the father of Osiris, Isis, Set and Nephthys. Was the God of the Earth or the Earthly Hill. Hill again? Cosmogonic myths represented him as being in eternal union with the sky goddess Nut, until the air god Shu separated them. In the pyramid texts he is also credited with protecting the dead. He was depicted as an old man with a beard and he was wearing royal jewelry or stretched out to his full length, with Nut leaning on him, supported by Shu. The ancient Greeks identified Hebe with Kronos. People believed that Geb was good because he protected people from snakes. Plants that people needed grew on Hebe.

According to the myth, Geb quarreled with his wife Nut because she ate her celestial children every day and then gave birth to them again. Shu separated the spouses by lifting Nut up (sky), and leaving Hebe in a horizontal position (earth).

Geb also took part in the trial of Osiris over the dead.

Nut (Nu, Nuit) is the ancient Egyptian goddess of the sky, daughter of Shu and Tefnut, sister and wife of Geb and mother of Osiris, Isis, Set.

I already wrote above that the name Nut is obviously associated with the night. Nut is the goddess of the night sky, exactly. The main focus and the main myth of Nut is directed to the stars (every night Nut again gives birth to stars in order to devour them in the morning, and give birth again the next night). No wonder. The deserted and meager land does not attract the attention of a desert dweller; it is faceless and not alive at all. The sun is rather an enemy. Night brings peace and pleasure. Stars are an object of worship. All eyes and all thoughts are directed towards them. That is, once again) A person from temperate and northern latitudes knows perfectly well what it means to be left without Fire and Sun. For him they are life-givers, very literally. Ari can annually observe the dying of nature (the dream of Ra) and its rebirth for a new life (where is the root of the Myth about the dying and rising God). On the contrary, for the Atum person, there is no greater value than water (Tefnut, moisture). The name Tef-nut itself contains the concept of night "nut". That is, all the good for him is a means of getting rid of the tiresome and cruel sun. Water (moisture) is also a means of fighting the hated enemy.

Every day he swallows the stars and the sun, and then gives birth again (change of day and night). Nut contains a thousand souls. She was associated with the cult of the dead - she raises the dead to heaven and protects them in the tomb.

Epithets: “Great”, “huge mother of stars”, “giver of gods”.

She was depicted as a woman stretching across the entire horizon and touching the ground with the tips of her fingers and toes, often with Geb lying below.

The image of the beautiful Heavenly Cow does not refer to that “lower sky,” the air space through which clouds float (it was personified by Shu), but to the higher and more distant sphere of the stars.

The image of the Cosmic Cow dates back to ancient times. In the Pyramid Texts there are phrases: “A star floats on the ocean under the body of Nut.” It is not by chance that the image of a cow is placed in heaven. A cow is everything for a person who has not yet mastered agriculture and is just moving from hunting to transhumance. That is, a person begins to literally follow the herds like a cow. Where the cow goes, the name of the river goes. He may not have tamed the beast yet (another cow is wild and strong, and there are many ferocious males, generally similar to a bison or wildebeest). A brilliant illustration can be found in the wonderful film “Dances with Wolves.” The Indians live the life of bison: they look for herds, track them, make multi-day treks in search of the herd and, then, after it. The herd has disappeared somewhere, they can’t find it - the trouble is terrible! Our children will die of hunger! And general JOY and celebration after a successful hunt. Here we see live (in detail) the plot of the Indian myth about the lost cows kidnapped by Baal and the Hero searching for them. In fact, the cows got lost for a long time in the forests and meadows (the kingdom of Vaau-la, and Imyarek is in poverty. The wolf is also perfectly depicted in the film.

It is said about the deceased Pharaoh: “He is the son of a great wild cow. She becomes pregnant with him and gives birth to him, and he is placed under her wing.” In this case, an additional image of the wings of a kite was used, which also served as a symbol of the sky.

For the ancient Egyptians, the starry firmament appeared in the images of the cow Nut (night), the woman Nut (night), the ocean, the roof and even wings. The roof is a shelter, protection from the hated sun.

In Egyptian myths, the Cosmic Cow Nut, on the advice of Nun, lifts the tired, elderly Ra into the heavenly heights. At a high altitude, Nut became dizzy and her legs began to tremble. Then Ra wished to have gods to support her (it is interesting that he only expressed a wish, and it was, apparently, the almighty Nun who fulfilled it). Then eight deities stood at the feet of the Cosmic Cow, and Shu began to support her belly.

In other drawings, the goddess of space is depicted as a woman, she is curved in the form of a dome, has exorbitantly long arms and legs (about

pores) and only touches the ground (depicted as a man) with the tips of his fingers and toes. Shu, who separates this couple, also does not look tense under the weight of the “celestial body”.

According to Egyptian mythology, the twin deities Isis and Osiris loved each other in the womb of their mother, the goddess Nut, so Isis was already pregnant at birth.

Osiris

Osiris (Egyptian wsjr, Usir; ancient Greek Ὄσιρις, lat. Osiris, Osiris). The Indo-European origin of this Name does not raise the slightest doubt. In Egyptian -sir- we recognize our -sar- (king), Latin Osiris, variants - Asuris (Indian, Iranian) and goes back to the concept of SuRa - Sacred Ra, i.e. God.

The letter -A- (in Latin O, by mistake) has already been discussed briefly and will be discussed in detail in the article A-mon. It defines the male idea. The idea of ​​A-Su-Ra, meaning at the source - the Son of the Sacred Ra (Mother).

The idea of ​​Osiris completely repeats the idea of ​​the Yaran Rashnu, the son of A Ku Ra Ma sa da. The very name of this Persian God sends us to the source and indicates that he is both the Son (SuRaMaDa (Holy RamaMotherDala). But -A- ahead, marks the birth of the idea that the Creator (Varuna) is both her Father and son at the same time. But The message remained ununderstood. The reasons are the same as in Egypt. The teaching, born in the Arian expanses, is distorted in the indigenous environment, unable to comprehend the idea of ​​the Great Mother. And the picture of the world began to look like this:

Asura (A KuRa) - Father of the Sacred Ra

Armaiti - (AR(Yar)Mata) - Daughter

Rashnu - Son (Human)

SoRush - Pet, symbol of maternal kinship (dog, rooster).

In the idea of ​​Osiris we see the development of myth. Rashnu does not die to be reborn again. The legend of Osiris testifies to the development of the idea to the ideas of a dying and resurrecting God, from which the last step remains to the Idea of ​​the God-Man.

Like Rashnu, Osiris is a posthumous judge. god of rebirth, king of the underworld and judge of the souls of the dead.

According to references in ancient Egyptian texts and the story of Plutarch, Osiris was the eldest son of the earth god Heb and the sky goddess Nut, the brother and husband of Isis, the brother of Nephthys, Set, and the father of Horus and Anubis. He was the fourth of the gods who reigned on earth in primordial times, inheriting the power of his great-grandfather Ra (as in the pyramid texts), grandfather Shu and father Geb.

It should be noted that Osiris and Isis are known from the “pyramid texts,” the oldest written monument on earth. Those. Asuris probably already existed 5,000 years ago.

Reigning over Egypt, Osiris taught people agriculture, gardening and winemaking, but was killed by his brother, the god Set, who wanted to rule in his place. Osiris's wife, his sister Isis, found his corpse and began to mourn him along with her sister Nephthys. Ra, taking pity, sends the jackal-headed god Anubis, who collected the scattered (or, according to another version, cut up by Set) parts of Osiris, embalmed the body and swaddled it. Isis fashioned a phallus from clay (the only part of Osiris’s body that Isis could not find was the penis: it was eaten by fish), consecrated it and attached it to the assembled body of Osiris. Having turned into a female kite - the Hat bird, Isis spread her wings over the mummy of Osiris, uttered magic words and became pregnant. Thus Horus was conceived. Here we read, between the lines, both the brilliant legend of PuRush (ind.) and the story of Cain and Abel.

After a lengthy litigation, Horus is recognized as the rightful heir of Osiris and receives the kingdom. He resurrects Osiris by allowing him to swallow his eye. However, Osiris does not return to earth and remains the king of the dead, leaving Horus to rule the kingdom of the living.

Combining at different times, for various reasons, the cults of the king, the dying and resurrecting god of the productive forces of nature, the Nile, the bull, the moon, the afterlife judge at the terrible judgment seat, the myth of Osiris absorbed the reflection of religious ideas of a number of successive stages in the development of Egyptian society .

Osiris is always depicted with one plant or another: from the pond in front of his throne grows either a lotus, or a row of trees and a vine; sometimes the entire canopy under which Osiris sits is entwined with bunches of grapes; sometimes he himself is entwined with vines.

In the same way, the tomb of Osiris is not depicted without greenery: next to it grows a tree on which the soul of Osiris sits in the form of a phoenix; that tree grew through the tomb, entwining it with its branches and roots; then four trees grow from the tomb itself.

The latter, apparently, indicates that along with Osiris, agriculture appeared in Egypt, confirming Trog’s statement that Egypt is the youngest state, the emergence of which became possible only after the drainage of the Nile Valley (irrigation work). And how can one not remember the Sumerians, who, having come from God knows where, first of all took up irrigation work in the Euphrates valley, which is where statehood begins. For some reason, they immediately began to build artificial mountains Pi Rama (the most famous is the Tower of Babel). The story is completely similar to Egypt, which confirms the hypothesis of the founding of statehood in Ancient Egypt by aliens. It is known that in the Sumerian language the word “country” and the word “mountain” were written the same way - Ku-Mira / Su-Mera / Shu-Mera

Isis
(Isis; Egyptian js.t, ancient Greek Ἶσις, lat. Isis) is one of the greatest goddesses of antiquity, who became a model for understanding the Egyptian ideal of femininity and motherhood. She was revered as the sister and wife of Osiris, the mother of Horus, and, accordingly, the Egyptian kings, who were originally considered the earthly incarnations of the falcon-headed god.

The name "Isis" means "throne", which is her headdress. That is, the Indo-European origin of the name is undoubtedly: Sida - Sits, like Buda - Awakening. As the personification of the throne, she was an important representative of the pharaoh's authority. The pharaoh himself was seen as her child, sitting on the throne that she provided for him. It is important here that the throne of the king and the throne of God were given to both by a woman, Isis is the heir of MataRa, in this sense, her cession of the throne in favor of men is a distant echo of the Great Original Truth.

Isis is the first daughter of Geb, the god of the earth, and Nut, the goddess of the Sky. She married her brother Osiris and conceived Horus with him. When Set (her and her husband's brother) killed her husband and scattered his body parts across the Earth, Isis collected them and restored her husband's body with the help of magic.

The worship of Isis was widespread throughout the Greco-Roman world and continued until the prohibition of paganism in the Christian era. From this we can only judge that Isis is not a local Egyptian God, but a universal one. Moreover, it was not Egypt that borrowed it from the Europeans, but vice versa.

The Pyramid Texts of the Fifth Dynasty indicate the key role of this goddess in the pantheon of Egypt.

During the Old Kingdom, Isis was revered as the wife or assistant of the deceased pharaoh. Because of her important role in funerals, her name is mentioned in the Pyramid Texts more than eighty times. The image of Isis as the wife of the pharaoh was associated with her role as the wife of Horus, the protector god of the pharaoh, and then with her as the divine personification of the pharaoh.

Isis's role increased during the Middle Kingdom, when funerary texts began to be used not only by members of the royal family - her protection extended to nobles and even commoners. Here we see only confirmation of our thoughts about the gradual rooting of an alien cult, from the Initiates to the nobility first, and then to the people. The cult here is not something natural, born in the depths of the people’s consciousness, but implanted, alien and difficult to take root over thousands of years.

In the Temple of Hathor in Dendera and the Temple of Osiris in Abydos, relief compositions have been preserved, which show the sacred act of conceiving a son by the goddess in the form of a falcon stretched over the mummy of her husband. In memory of this, Isis was often depicted in the guise of a beautiful woman with bird wings, with which she protects Osiris, the king, or simply the deceased.

And here, my Friend, is evidence that lifts the curtain on the mystery:

According to legend, in order to acquire secret knowledge and gain magical power, the Goddess fashioned from the saliva of the aging god Ra and the earth a serpent that bit Ra. In exchange for healing, Isis demanded that Ra tell her his secret name, the key to all the mysterious powers of the universe, and became “the mistress of the gods, the one who knows Ra in his own name.” Just like that!

Myth about Ra and Isis:

Isis, having become known among people as a sorceress, decided to test her powers on the gods. In order to become the mistress of heaven, she decided to find out the secret name of Ra. She noticed that Ra had become old by that time, and saliva was dripping from the corners of his lips. She collected drops of Ra's saliva, mixed it with dust, molded it into a snake, cast her spells over it and placed it on the road along which God passed every day. After some time, the snake bit Ra, he screamed terribly, and all the gods rushed to his aid. Ra said that despite all his spells and his secret name, he was bitten by a snake. Isis promised him that she would heal him, but he must tell his secret name. The sun god said that he was Khepri in the morning, Ra at noon and Atum in the evening, but this did not satisfy Isis. And then Ra said: “Let Isis search in me, and my name will pass from my body to hers.” After this, Ra disappeared from the sight of the gods, and the throne in the Boat of the Lord of Millions of Years became free. Isis agreed with Horus that Ra must swear that he would part with his two Eyes (Sun and Moon). When Ra agreed that his secret name should become the property of the sorceress, and his heart taken out of his chest, Isis said: “Flowing poison, come out of Ra, Eye of Horus, come out of Ra and shine on his lips. It is I, Isis, who conjure, and it is I who made the poison fall to the ground. Verily, the Name of the great god is taken from him, Ra will live, and poison will die; if the poison lives, then Ra will die.”

No comments, as they say.

Set (Seth, Sutekh, Suta, Seti Egyptian. Stẖ) - in ancient Egyptian mythology, the god of rage, sandstorms, destruction, chaos, war and death.

Originally revered as the protector of Ra. Set is a warrior god with red, burning eyes, the only one of all who is able to defeat the serpent Apophis in the darkness, personifying darkness and eager to enslave Ra in the dark depths of the underground Nile. Later he was demonized, became an antagonist in the dualistic struggle between Horus and Set, the personification of world evil, Satan. Horus and Set can also merge into a single two-headed deity, Kheruifi.

During the period of the Old Kingdom, Set, along with Horus, was considered the patron god of royal power, which is reflected in the “Pyramid Texts” and in the titles of the pharaohs of the 2nd dynasty (the combination of the names Set and Horus means “king”). Which may indicate that the legend of the death and resurrection of Osiris is a later myth. Without this legend, Osiris was in the Old Kingdom a complete analogue of Rashnu in YaRana. I don't think the legend of death and resurrection originated in Egypt. This myth is the third stage in the evolution of the main Indo-European idea and is found in many places. Its origin marks the beginning of the era of dominance of the KOLO Culture, rushing to replace the YARA Culture, the main idea of ​​which is the dying and reborn Kolo (solar disk). The Kolo Culture penetrates into Egypt already at the end of its independent existence, before the reign of the XXVIII pharaohs, to which all the heroes of our “story about the severed beards of the sphinxes” belong. Then Egypt freed itself from the oppression of the proto-Simitic (Hyksos) dynasty, Indo-Europeans in worldview, at least. It was they who, perhaps, introduced the new solar cult, but were initially rejected by the elements of the people. With the reign of the XXVIII Dynasty, the old Gods return and the temples are filled again (the history of MaatkaRa is evidence of this). However, the solar cult does not die at all, but matures and takes shape in the priestly caste. It is to this period that, I think, the rebirth of Set belongs: from the noble protector of Ra into a brother-killer and demon. That is, SoRush (dog), a person’s companion and protector, becomes his enemy. Pharaoh Akhenaten, impressed by new ideas, begins to introduce a new cult, alien to the Egyptians, and the result is the destruction of the state, due to the deepest shock to its age-old foundations.

And Wikipedia fully confirms these conclusions we just made:

".. Under the Hyksos, Seth was identified with their god Baal; the capital of Egypt, Avaris, became the place of his cult as the main god..."

The planet Mercury was considered the heavenly image of Set - “Seth in the evening twilight, God in the morning twilight.” Seth's color is reddish-red, the subject side of the world is south.

Objects depicting an animal symbolizing Set appeared in the Predynastic period, during the era of Naqada I (3800-3600 BC). They were found in the Naqada area. At that time, Set was the deity of metals and the patron saint of Upper Egypt, and negative traits had not yet appeared in his character. In the era before the unification of Egypt by Pharaoh Narmer, supporters of Set and Horus fought for power. The victory went to Horus, and his name became an integral part of the monarch's title; when Horus and Set are depicted together, then Horus certainly stands in front of Set.

In the Osiris Cycle, Anubis (a deity with the head of a jackal and the body of a man, the guide of the dead to the afterlife) was the son of Osiris and Nephthys, the wife of Set.)) That is, Osiris cheated on his wife Isis with his brother’s wife!? As a result of intercourse, the god Anubis was born. Frightened by Seth's retribution for treason, Nephthys abandoned the baby in the reed thickets, where the goddess Isis later found him. Afterwards, the god Anubis began to help Isis in searching for parts of Osiris and took part in the embalming of the recreated body of Osiris.

This story can only indicate a deep misunderstanding of the KOLO idea.

Horus, Horus (ḥr - “height”, “sky”) is a god in ancient Egyptian mythology, the son of Isis and, presumably, Osiris. His wife is Hathor. His main opponent is Seth. One of the most common forms of Chorus during the New Kingdom was Horemakhet (or Gormachis in Greek transcription - “Chorus on the horizon (sky)”).

The Indo-European origin of the name, and of God himself, of course, does not raise the slightest doubt. Horse - of course, reveals that essence. Many Aryan names (Horaces, Homers, etc.) grow out of the same ideas, I have described them more than once, it seems.

Horus, in line with religious syncretism, was also compared with Ra - in the form of Ra-Gorakhti. This comparison was quite common.

Channel of the primordial creator god - Atum

Atum(at different times he was called: “Atama”, “Atom”, “Atum”, “Atem”; translated from Coptic - “Perfect”)- in ancient Egyptian mythology “prime creator”, “creator of everything”, “he who created himself.” Symbolized the eternal unity of all things.
He was depicted in the guise of a man with the head of a ram or a man with a crown, less often in the guise of a cat or snake. His place of worship is Heliopolis, as well as Letopolis, Heracleopolis and Meydun.
Among the divine attributes, Atum has the cross of life "Ankh", the wand of was and the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt - "Pschent". In his power are all 4 elements of the first creation - earth, water, fire and air, from which he created the entire universe.

According to myths, Atum arose in the form of a serpent from the primordial chaos. He is the ruler of “both lands,” that is, heaven and earth. Before the emergence of the universe, Atum existed as primary space, after which he created the Universe from himself, dividing it into heaven and earth. Another epithet is associated with it: “self-emerging” - one who creates himself and from himself. “The Pyramid Texts,” an ancient written source of Egypt, say that it first appeared as a mountain, or the Ben-Ben hill. It is said that Atum descended on him and began to think about which god to create. Then he moved the hill to Heliopolis, which became the place of cult of the creator god - Atum.
It contains both Universal principles - male and female. According to Egyptian mythology, Atum impregnated himself, creating twin gods - Shu and Tefnut, air and water, from which the gods of heaven () and earth (Geb) originated.
Atum heads the great Heliopolis Ennead (Atum, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Nut, Osiris, Isis, Set, Nephthys).

Atum represents the all-pervading light. It is associated with the Sun, gold and abundance. Our Sun is a small particle from its huge source. Merging with his energy gives us the knowledge of unity with the entire Universe, that we are small particles of his light canvas. His power is also in us, we carry it within ourselves. Atum is associated with the Higher consciousness, the energy of creation. It is also associated with the heart area and the area above the head. The solar flow of energy originates in the heart, rises to the head area, and then closes again in the heart, creating a constant circulation.

He is the supreme Sun, the beginning for all the Suns that are his parts.

Atum is the god-lord of the Universe, similar to the universal Creator in many religions. In the Book of the Dead, Atum tells Ra that everything he has created will be destroyed and returned to primary chaos, and Atum himself will turn into a serpent, which he apparently is in his disembodied form.
Along with Atum, other Egyptian creator deities performed: in Thebes, - in Memphis, - in Hermopolis, Khnum - in Elephantine.

What does the channel of the god Atum give:
