I Am
Massey - 'Ancient Egypt' - "The process of compounding the many gods in one is made apparent when Osiris says, "I am one, and the powers of all the gods are my powers" (Rit., ch. 7).

Mysteries of The Incarnation
Massey - 'Ancient Egypt' - "The Christian cult is often said to be founded on the "mysteries of the incarnation". But what teacher of the spurious mysteries has ever been able to tell us anything of their natural genesis? What has any bibliolator ever known about the word that was in the beginning? The word which issued out of Silence? The word of life that came by water, by blood, and in the Spirit? For him such language has never been related to any phenomena extant in nature. The wisdom of old Egypt only can explain the typical word and its relationship to a so-called revelation. The doctrine of the incarnation is Egyptian, and to the Egyptian wisdom we must appeal if we would understand it. No other word was ever made flesh in any other way than in Horus, who was the logos of the Mother Nature as the Child-Horus, the khart, or inarticulate logos, and the word that was made truth in the adult phase of his character as Horus Mat-Kheru, the second Horus, the paraclete and direct representative of the father in heaven. The incarnation, which is looked upon as a central mystery of the Christian cult, had no origin and can have no adequate or proper explanation in Christianity. Its real origin, like those of the other Egyptian dogmas and doctrines, was purely natural; it was prehistorical and non-personal, and as the mystery of Horus and his virgin mother, who were equally prehistorical and non-historical, it had been the central mystery of the Egyptian faith for ages, utilized by the ancient teachers for all it ever was or could be worth, and was continued by the teachers of historic Christianity in ignorance of its origin and only true significance, or with a criminally culpable suppression of the gnosis by which alone the inexplicable latter-day mysteries could have been explained.
The primitive mysteries were founded on the facts in nature which are verifiable today as from the first, whereas the mysteries of the Christian theology have been manufactured, shoddy-like, from the leavings of the past by the modus operandi of miracle. These remain today unverified because they are for ever unverifiable; We know how Horus came by water on his papyrus; how then did he come by blood? The child had been incorporated in the fish, the shoot, the branch, the beetle, calf, or lamb, as the representative type; and in his incarnation, Horus came by blood, but not by the blood shed on a tree, or the tat-cross. He came to earth by blood as representative of the human soul that came by blood. The Ritual tells us that the gods issued out of silence (ch. 24): This was portrayed in the Osirian system when the infant Horus is depicted pointing with his finger to his mouth, making the sign of silence as it was understood in all the mysteries. Horus is not the ordinary child or khart of the hieroglyphics. He images the logos, the word of silence, the virgin's word, that gave a dumb or inarticulate utterance to the mystery of the incarnation. The doctrine of the incarnation had been evolved and established in the Osirian religion at least 4,000 and possibly 10,000 years before it was purloined and perverted in Christianity. It was so ancient that the source and origin had been forgotten and the direct means of proof lost sight of or obliterated except amongst the gnostics, who sacredly preserved their fragments of the ancient wisdom, their types and symbols and no doubt, with here and there a copy of some chapters of the Book of the Dead done into Greek or Aramaic by Alexandrian scribes. The doctrine of salvation by the blood of Isis connoted the idea of coming into existence by means of the mother's blood, or mystically the blood of the virgin mother. In primitive biology all birth and production of human life was first derived from the mother's blood, which was afterwards informed by the soul of the fatherhood. The lesson first taught by nature was that life came by blood. Procreation could not occur until the female was pubescent. Therefore blood was the sign of source as the primary creative human element. Child-Horus came by the blood of the virgin Isis, in that and no other way. Jesus, the gnostic Christ, also came by blood that way, not only according to the secret doctrine of John, for the Musselmans have preserved a fragment of the true gnosis. In the notes to ch. 96 of the Koran, Sale quotes the Arabic tradition that Jesus was not born like any other men from blood concreted into flesh, but came in the flow, or in the flowing blood-that was, in the virgin's blood first personalized in Horus, who was made flesh as the virgin.'s child. The doctrine of the incarnation was dependent on the soul of life originating in the mother blood, the first that was held specifically and exclusively human on account of its incarnation. This was the soul derived from a mother who was the mystical virgin in biology, and who was afterwards mystified by theology as the mother of god, the eternal virgin typified in the likeness of the totemic. The blood mother had been cognized sociologically the virgin. Thence came the doctrine of a virgin mother as a type. Blood was the mother of a soul now differentiated from the external souls as human. First the white vulture of the virgin Neith, next the red heifer of the virgin Isis, then the human virginity, supplied the type of an eternal virgin, she in whom the mystery of maternal source was divinized as the virgin mother in the eschatology."
IOSA - Gaelic Name for Jesus
We have here in the Gaelic name IOSA, perhaps the most definite and without any doubt, the most surprising confirmation that the Egyptian IWSA was the source of the biblical name JESUS.
It is so surprising in fact that every detail should be checked by the reader, so that he or she may see for themselves that this is the absolute truth. To begin with, the Gaelic Name can be verified by going to "Read many versions of the Bible Online". 'Iosa' can easily be picked out in the very first verse, where it is followed by 'Mac Dhe'. 'Mac' is as many will know, the Gaelic word for 'Son' in English, and 'MS' in Egyptian. 'Dhe' is Gaelic for 'God', (Dieu in French and 'Theo' in Greek.) If still in doubt, just go through other verses of Mark where the name 'Jesus' appears, e.g. Mark 1:9, 1:14, or the Roman Church condemning verse 8:33 - Ach Iosa a tionndadh, sheall e air a dheisciopuil, is bhagair e air Peadar, ag radh: Theirig air mo chulaobh, a shatain: oir chan eil tlachd agad do nithean Dhe, ach do nithean dhaoine.
There are Egyptian hieroglyph Indices on the Internet where the word 'IWSA'meaning 'The Coming Son' may be found and confirmed. However the following image scanned from a published vocabulary may serve those who consider such a search to be too cumbersome.
In explanation, the 'Legs Walking' sign is a determinative glyph, 'IW'. The 'Quail Chick' is the letter 'W' and in this case, a 'sound complement' confirming the value of the last letter of the 'Two Consonant' glyph, 'IW'.
The 'Pintail Duck' glyph is another 2 consonant sign for the letters 'S Glottal Stop'.
We do not know the exact pronunciation of the letter 'W'. It is thought to be something like a 'w' sound, 'u', or even 'o'. (In Welsh the letter 'W' is an 'oo' or 'oh' sound.) Whatever the slight variation in sound, it would be odd if the Egyptian IWSA, was not pronounced IOSA, especially after one or two thousand years had passed.
SO HOW ON EARTH DID THE GAELS KNOW THE UNADULTERATED NAME OF IOSA RATHER THAN THE ONE CONCOCTED FROM A GRECIAN INTERPRETATION OF THE EGYPTIAN NAME ?
THEY KNEW BECAUSE THEIR FOREFATHERS WERE EGYPTIAN !!!
There is of course the legend about the 18th Dynasty Egyptian Princess Scota who migrated with some of her people to the British Isles. This is only a legend which begs the question 'Can it be true?' An accumulation of evidence now suggest that it is.
1. The remains of two Egyptian ships have been found in the Humber Estuary at Ferrinby.
2. Egyptian jewellery has been found in Irish Barrows.
3. Egyptian religious signs in the form of Sun Disks and Solar Ships have been carved on the rock walls of some tombs.
4. Skeletons of so-called 'Iberians' have been found in Irish graves. They are notable for their long skulls and are therefore referred to as being dolichocephalous. The term 'Iberian' is used to indicate that they are a people originating in the Mediterranean basin and not just from the Iberian Peninsula. They are thought to have been of a dark complexion. The 18th Dynasty kings YmnTwtAnkh and Smenkhkare both had the same long skulls.
5. A comparison of the following extracts leaves us in no doubt that Irish legend remembers the invaders from their distant past.

"The Coming of the people of Dana
We now come to by far the most interesting and important of the mythical invaders and colonisers of Ireland, the People of Dana. The name, Tuatha De Danann, means literally 'the folk of the god whose mother is Dana."
Extract from Ancient Egypt Myth and Legend by Geddes & Grosset ISBN 13:978 1 85534 353 5
Chapter 12, page 140, para 2.
"An interesting contrast is afforded by the two great rival religions of this period of transition. While the theology of Heliopolis was based on sun worship, that of Memphis was based on earth worship. Ptah, the creation elf of the latter city, had been united with Tanen (or Tatanen, the earth giant, who resembles Geb. The dwarfish deity then assumed gigantic proportions and became a 'world god', or Great Father. A hymn addressed to Ptah Tanen declares that his head is in the heavens while his feet are on the earth or in Duat, the underworld." (This has been copied into Acts 7:49 "Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool..")
It is interesting to see the same interchange between hard and soft consonants, 'T' and 'D' that occurs when Egyptian is transliterated into Hebrew, e.g. Aten and Adhonai; Twt and Dwd (David).
Duat or Tuatha was the Egyptian Netherworld, and Tatanen or De Danann one of the gods. Whilst at first glance the latter was a Father God to the Egyptians, but a Mother God to the Irish, a touregypt webpage about this god does say that the Egyptians sometimes saw him as a mother god.
6. Some Irish names appear to have an Egyptian origin. For instance 'Doherty' could possibly have derived from the Egyptian god Dyhwty. The 'y' at the end of the Egyptian name simply means 'Who Is', or 'Which Is', and so in English this would be "He Who is David". The Greeks however interfered with the name of this god, and we now know him better as Thoth.
Massey - 'Ancient Egypt' - "Ptah was the earliest form of an eternal father manifesting in the person of an ever-coming son, who, as the coming one, was Iu, or Iu-em-hetep, he who comes with peace. Hence we derive the name or title of the Egypto-gnostic Jesus from Iu-Su, or Iusa, the coming son."
It always seemed strange that the Celtic Church was well established in Britain before the Romans introduced their new form of Christianity. The Egyptians were highly religious and they would most certainly have continued with their beliefs after they invaded and colonised Ireland. It is also most likely that they kept in step with any changes emanating from Egypt, such as the Gnostic form of their religion. When the Goidelic Celts invaded Britain, the Druids were able to convert people in Britain but met with strong resistance in Ireland where the old religion remained dominant.
We can visualise some kind of predicament for the Irish priests when the last Egyptian royal figures were removed by the Romans. The Holy Trinity as depicted on a wall of YmnTwtAnkh's tomb confirms that his people believed that God the Father, his son, and Ka, lived on in their Kings and Queens. Suddenly Gnostics could only explain that Iosa was still with them, but as a spiritual being. So his name was never forgotten. Then when the Romans under Constantine adopted the new faith and introduced their Jewish Jesus, the Irish Celts readily accepted him as their own Iosa.
That strong resistance to religious change lived on in Ireland, not only in the name Iosa, but it also survived the 16th century Reformation in England, Scotland, Sweden, Germany and Switzerland. For the Irish the name 'Jesus' was only the English word that they used when speaking the foreign language of English. They may have forgotten his origins, but in their own language he was always IOSA.
NOTE:
Mark 8:33, quoted above in Gaelic has always been a very strange verse. Why on earth did Iosa address Peter as Satan? The answer is so simple. Iosa was talking to him as an Egyptian and the Scribe was obviously aware of that fact.
Massey - 'Ancient Egypt' - "One name for the mount (otherwise the horizon) in Egyptian is Sut or Set, the rock, hill, or mount, which agrees with the Irish Síd for the hillock and the mound of the unseen world. The mounds were made as dwellings for the dead, and in the Irish legends the people of the other earth, the Tuatha de Danan, the wee folk and fairies, are dwellers in a world that is represented by the hillock or mound. "Tis a large Síd in which the Aes Síde dwell", therefore equivalent to the mount, and their hollow in the mount is one with the Kamite Amenta. There is no consciousness of time in this happy other-world. Those who have dwelt there for centuries seem to have been there no time. This is one way of identifying the land with the earth of eternity. The Irish nether-world is the land of the ever-living ones; as an irresistible lure to men it is set forth as the land of ever-living, ever-lovely women."
We have many words in English that have more than one meaning, and it just so happens that 'Devil' is one of them. Besides its more general use, it can also mean a junior in a legal team, or 'to season strongly with salt and pepper'. In English only the context of the sentence tells us what the meaning is. It may have been the same with Egyptians, however they left us in no confusion when writing a word with a double meaning. They added a determinative sign after the word. The glyphs given by Massey are followed in one case by a truncated hill glyph and in the other by a tiny rock.
In Egyptian 'ST' can also mean 'Satan', in which case the final glyph would be the 'God' glyph. In both cases the letter 'n' is the Egyptian genitive case, which through frequent continuous use has become a part of the name itself. So, in Mark 8:33 Iosa is not addressing 'Satan' as the Devil, but as 'The Rock'. In so doing he is pointing out that Peter's thoughts are Earthly and not spiritual. We can also see from Massey's words that Tuatha was the Irish nether-world just as in the Egyptian original it was Duat, also meaning the Nether-World.
Isaac
As is ever the case when searching for names in Egyptian, the missing written vowels makes it difficult to make a positive identification from the name alone. With nearly all the other Patriarchs there has been some additional evidence to confirm that we have found the right man. With Isaac all we could hope for was some kind of match in the name and proximity to Jacob in the Kings Lists. There is no shortage of kings whose names began with the Consonants 'SK', including Antef V who is thought to have followed Jacob, and whose throne name was Sekhemre Wepmaat. But the consonant 'M' is an integral part of the name, and unlikely to have been dropped. There is one name in the Kings List though, where the 'SK' can legally be separated from the following determinative glyphs. It is the name associated with Manetho's Salitis and Biblical Salah. It also happens to be the name of a king who was a close ancestor of Jacob - Sekhaenre. This was also the prenomen or throne name of Jacob himself.
So it would seem that we have a similar situation to Nahor and Thera, where the two names of one King have through the ages turned into Father and Son. It is possible too that Isaac didn't originally have an initial vowel at the beginning of his name. The name may have started off as the 'Sark' who is mentioned in the Memphis Priest's name list - but then we do not know if that name too might have had an initial vowel 'I', as opposed to the 'ee' sounding 'Water Reed' glyph.
Israel - Pre-Exodus
In "Tempest and Exodus" by Ralph Ellis, the author raises this question, "Why are so many Egyptian locations apparently explained in the Bible as being in Syria/Palestine? The problem the translators were faced with was the obvious duplication of locations in Egypt and Palestine, and there are two possibilities as to how this occurred. Either the scribes have replaced many of the Egyptian names in the texts with Judaic alternatives, which seems unlikely; or, after the exodus of the Hyksos/Israelites to Palestine, the people named many towns in their new land with the names that they had been used to in Egypt. This is not only highly likely, it can be demonstrated as fact. A typical example of this transposition is the biblical land of Goshen. Now in the Bible, Joseph brought his family to live in Goshen:
And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and they children's children, and thy flocks, and they herds, and all that thou hast. (Genesis 45:10)
We know that Joseph was in Egypt at the time and that his family came to live in Heliopolis, so, in this case, Goshen was a province near Heliopolis. However later in the Bible, Goshen also turns out to be a province in Palestine." - Joshua 11:16.
Heliopolis is actually another example .This is the Greek name for the city of On which was also known as Bethshemesh to the Egyptians. Strong's actually give us 4 locations for this town, south-west Judah, Naphtali, Issachar, and Egypt. In 1 Samuel 6 it has to be the Egyptian city. In fact in Jeremiah 43:13(KJV) we are told emphatically that Bethshemesh is in the land of Egypt. However in the Revised Version 'they' have tried to cover this up, changing the name to the Greek Heliopolis and the Good News Bible simply removes the city name altogether and just reads 'Egypt'.
Babylon is yet another, and in this instance history records that the Babylon which was in or near Cairo was named after the Sumerian city - "Diodorus tells us that this settlement was populated by prisoners whom Sesostris bought from the Mesopotamian city of Babylon, who named it after their own city." (Tour Egypt web page).
The Bible not only confirms that Israelites lived in Egyptian towns and cities bearing the same names as later communities in the land we now know as Egypt, but also THE BIBLE TELLS US CLEARLY THAT ISRAEL WAS AT ONE TIME PART OF EGYPT. At the very least it was the Delta region, and more probably it was the whole of Lower Egypt extending as far south as Uaset, i.e. Thebes/Luxor.
Samuel-1 4:10 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and
they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter;for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
Samuel-1 4:11 And the ark of God was taken;
These verses tell us that the Philistines, which may be another name for Egyptians from Upper Egypt, won a battle against Israel and took from them the Ark of the Covenant.
Samuel-1 6:2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.
Samuel-1 6:3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
From other verses it looks very likely that the Ark was radio-active and made the Philistines/Egyptians very sick or even killed some of them. In any case they had had enough of it after seven months and wanted to get rid of it.
Samuel-1 6:7 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:
Samuel-1 6:8 And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him [for] a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.
Samuel-1 6:9 And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Bethshemesh, [then] he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that [it is] not his hand [that] smote us: it [was] a chance [that] happened to us.
Here we have some indication that Bethshemesh is occupied by Israelites.
Samuel-1 6:10 And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them
to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
Samuel-1 6:11 And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the
coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.
Samuel-1 6:12 And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, [and] went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside [to] the right hand or [to] the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Bethshemesh.
Samuel-1 6:13 And [they of] Bethshemesh [were] reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see [it].
The men of Bethshemesh were rejoicing to see the Ark come back to them. Remember, the Philistines/Egyptians only wanted to get rid of it. They were unlikely to dump it in another part of their own country.
Samuel-1 6:14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood there, where [there was] a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto the LORD.
Samuel-1 6:15 And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the
coffer that [was] with it, wherein the jewels of gold [were], and put [them] on the great stone: and the men of Bethshemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the LORD.
Jeremiah 4:13 proves that Bethshemesh was in Egypt and since this was then the domain of the Israelites as shown in the above verses of 1 Samuel, it follows that this area which we know to be part of modern day Cairo, was then Israel. Joshua had to have been a land owner or even a king, and the great stone must therefore be a disguised inference to one of the Pyramids. Joshua must therefore be the King Djoser who built one of the first pyramids.
