Egyptian Dreams

Thank you for our comment - i am not a believer in there being any ' Jewish ' race so not a supporter of any priveliges given by 'god' to these people. But this well lies outside the scope of this orum. Though I was at a talk by a Mormon last night who asserted this as official Mormon doctrine - indeed 10s of milllions of other American Christians believe this.

My note had nothing to do with "political correctness" or something like that. I just find it questionable to use a term for a group of people in an era in which this term is still not proofed in the known sources and appears only several hundred years later. That borders on document / history forgery.

Fristly to Ranferhotep.

Female priests occur all over Egyptian walls. They are the ones wearing the tight feather motif dresses often with vulture or cow horned headdresses. The guests often wear the flimsy fashionable muslin garments and carry offerings. The priestess leads the guest by the hand to another similarly attired so I do not think there is much doubt about this.

Many rituals are extant from the walls of temples.

Now to our Hindhu friend.
Recently I was matching a couple of soap actresses one from East Enders (UK) and another in Neighbours(Australia). I was stuck at how classical Egyptian both these ladies looked!!! ( that is in many classical Egyptian pictures.)
I also thought about how ritual purity with washing was so important in both traditions and also the decentred make up of the gods and goddesses within an overall framework. I think there my be something there from the past of both of these poeples.

not so Lutz - if you study the classic pictures you will that this dress is almost exclusive to priestesses and the clients being received are dress nearly always differently.
Pictures from temple walls clearly differentiate between client and priestess.

I think you are mistaking the meaning of the pictures, which often show a normal temple daily scene. You think matbe that the figures are mythic invisible ladies which bring real humans by the hand into the inner sanctum where and identicall dressed figure on a throne offers???? - help advice and all the usual services obviously. So the figure is not a statue but the chief lady priestess or a deputy who acts as the goddess.

Such stimulating conversation! I too have the two books by Blavatsky, "Isis Unveiled."

It has been my understanding, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong Lutz , but when the unification happened between upper and lower Egypt, there is a great possibility that there was an 'exodus' from Egypt involving those who did not want to switch from their matriarchal ways, to the newly introduced patriarchal ways.

The Bible itself, and the big brew haha about it, is not for this site, but I do indeed have my own opinion about it. Let's just say ... the Great Goddess intended on it being/saying exactly what it did. She was a bit miffed with the world.
