Biblical Origins
In Ancient Egypt


Jacob

Ralph Ellis - 'Jesus Last of The Pharaohs' - "Judaism, Christianity, and even the early Essene cult of Israel, all have an initiation process that involves immersion in water.     In Egypt the body of the great God, Osiris, was floated down the Nile in a casket prior to his resurrection.

     Whatever the origins of this tradition, it is clear that water was central to the Israelite faith; it could even be considered to be their shibboleth or marker.     This is very important when looking at the name of the pharaoh, Yacobaam."

     Ralph Ellis goes on to explain that "the 'J' and the 'Y' are interchangeable in Hebrew, so Yacobaam can equally be Jacobaam."      (as occurs with Jesus - Yeshua.. ..in Greek - Ysus, Joseph - Yusef, Jerusalem - Yurasalim, Joshua - Yehoshua etc.)     The final letter in this Pharaoh's cartouche is a determinative sign which can be read as 'mw', but names sometimes end with a determinative sign to give some idea of the character or position of the person.     If it were to be read as the letters 'MW' then why haven't Egyptologists transliterated this king's name as JacobaamW?    Have we got here another deliberate cover up?    Moreover if the name had actually ended with 'MW' then where is the emphasising consonant 'W'?    The normal practice was always to repeat the last letter of a two-consonant glyph, which in this case would have been a Quail Chick to follow the Three Water Ripples.     IT ISN'T THERE!!            With this in mind, we can be pretty well certain that the letters 'mw' are not the final letters of the name, but that this is the determinative use of the glyph.     Therefore in this case 'water' is part of the true translation.      The Pharaohs Title is now reduced to "JACOBA (who is from water... or baptizes)".     This conclusion is enforced when compared with the Egyptian word 'akhob'meaning 'pure water'.     The spelling is practically identical and this time we know that the determinative sign for water at the end means what it indicates.    We can take it all one step further, since the 'Arm' glyph is unlikely to be the letter 'Ah' at the end, but an ideogram.    Mark Collier, Bill Manley - "How To Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs "arm .... (3) often alternative for A41-44....A44 Arm holding wand or lettuce - ideo. djsr 'sacred' and related words.

     The name of this Pharaoh as shown in his cartouche reads JACOB and the ideogram/determinatives tell us that he was a A SACRED CLEANSER, i.e. BAPTISER

     Were it only one Biblical name found in the long list of Pharaohs, we could pass it by as coincidence.      But surely not when, we add several others - Abel, Abraham, Cain, David, Solomon, Joseph, Joshua, Nahor and even Jesus?

Jehovah

     The name Jehovah derives from Yhwh or Yahweh.    In Egyptian this would have been written with the glyphs Two Reeds, an Arm, and a Reed Shelter (or twisted wick), a Chick and Reed Shelter.     One reed represents the letter 'i', and two are usually pronounced as a long 'i' - 'eeee'.     The Arm is like a guttural 'a', pronounced 'ah' from the throat.     A soft 'h' is represented by the twisted wick glyph, and a Chick is transliterated as a 'w', but is sounded as 'oh' or 'u'.     Yahwh should therefore be voiced as 'Iah Oh'.

     When read correctly there is no mistaking the name.    Iah is another name for Horus, the Son of God.

Massey - 'Ancient Egypt' - " Hebraists have surmised, and some Hebrews (known to the writer) have admitted, that the prefix B in B' Jah (B' Jah is Jehovah, Isaiah 26:4, and B' Jah is his name) is an abbreviation for the name of Baal.      If written out fully this would read, Baal - Iah = Baal is Jah.      Bealiah is a proper name in the book of Chronicles I. 12:5, in which we see that Baal-Iah as divinity supplied a personal name.      Thus the Baal who is Iah - would be the Iah who was one of the Baalim; and the earliest Baalim were a form of the seven companions, like the Kabarim and Elohim, which are followed in the book of Genesis by the god named Iahu-Elohim.      The one god in Israel is made known to Moses by the two names of - Ihuh and Iah.      Now a priest of On (Osarsiph) would naturally learn at On of the one god Atum-Ra, who was Huhi the eternal in the character of God the father and ?u in the character of God the son, which two were one.      In accordance with Egyptian thought, that which was for ever was the only true reality.      This was represented by Huhi the eternal.      And Huhi is the god made known to Israel by the priest of On.      Gesenius derives the name of Ihuh from a root huh, which root does not exist in Hebrew.      But it does exist in Egyptian.      Huh or heh signifies ever, everlastingness, eternity, the eternal.      Huhi was a title that was applied to Ptah, Atum-Ra, and Osiris, as Neb-Huhi the ever-lasting lord, or as the supreme one, self-existing, and eternal god, which each of these three deities represented in turn as one divine dynasty succeeded another in the Egyptian religion.      An eternity of existence was imaged by the Egyptians as ever-coming or becoming; hence ever-coming or ever-becoming was a mode of imaging the eternal being.      Thus the one god as their Huhi was not only he who is for ever as the father, but also he who comes for ever as the son.      This visible mode of continuity by means of coming naturally involved becoming, according to the Egyptian doctrine of kheper, which includes ever-evolving, ever-transforming, ever-perpetuating, ever-becoming, under the one word kheper.      Thus the name of an eternal, self-existent being which in Hebrew can be traced as Huhi, the name for the one eternal, ever-living, ever-lasting god as Egyptian.      And now for the first time we can distinguish the one name, Ihuh from the other, Iah, if only on Egyptian ground.      "Iu", with variants in Au, Iau, Aui, and others, is also an Egyptian word, but with no linguistic relationship to the word Huh.      Iu is likewise the name of an Egyptian god, as Iu-em-hetep, he who comes with peace, who was primarily the son of Ptah, and who was repeated in the cult of Atum-Ra as Nefer-Atum.      In fact, Atum-Ra is both Huhi and Iu as the one god living in truth, the father manifesting as the ever- coming son, who was Iu-sa the son of Iusaas in the cult of On.      All that was ever represented to the Jewish mind by the name of Ihuh (Ihvh or Jehovah) had been expressed to the Egyptian by the word huhi or, later, hehi.      As Egyptian, "huh" signified everlastingness, millions of times, eternity, and "Huhi" was also a name of their god the eternal.      It had been a title, we repeat, of Ptah, of Atum, and of Osiris, each in turn, in three different cults at Memphis, On, and Abydos. Huhi, then, was the eternal as the father; he who always had been, ever was, ever should be, and hence the everlasting god.

      Iu was the ever-coming son, Iu-sa or Iu-em-hetep, the son who comes with peace as periodic manifestor for the eternal father.      Thus the One God of the Jews was Egyptian in this twofold character, both by nature and by name.

      The change in Israel from the worship of El-Shaddai to the worship of Ihuh, from the Eloistic to the Jehovistic god, corresponds to the change from the stellar to the solar worship in the astronomical mythology.      El in the highest was the star-god on the summit of the mountain, who in the Kamite mythos might be Sut, Seth, or Anup at the pole.      The pole was represented by the mount, one Egyptian name of which is Sut, denoting standing-ground.      The ruler of the pole-star was the lord of standing-ground or station at the fixed centre of the heavens.      The highest El was the eighth of the Ali or Baalim.      In Hebrew he is called El-Shaddai, commonly rendered the powerful or mighty one.      Another rendering, however, of the name is more than probable.      This was the most high god, El-Elyon, whom the Phoenicians also called Israel.      As Egyptian, it was Anup on the mount, or at the pole, the highest of the star-gods or Elohim who preceded the solar sovereignty of Ra.      El-Shaddai, who was Phoenician, and had been co-worker with the Elohim in the legends of creation, was succeeded and superseded by the god of two names who is made known to Israel as "Ihuh" and Iahu, or "Iao" = Egyptian Iu.      The Egyptian word Iu is also written Ì, with u inherent, and has the meaning of coming, come, to come, and is the name of the ever- coming and eternal child, Iu-em-hetep, or Iusa, the coming son.      In the Phoenician version the deity Iao = Iu is the coming son, the well-beloved, the only-begotten son of El, who was to be called Ieoud, the supposed prototype of "something to come" in Christianity (see Bryant).      The word Iu with these meanings in Egyptian agrees with Iah or Iahu in Hebrew, signifying come and to come.      Thus Huhi is equivalent to Ihu, and Iu is equivalent to Iao as or, the two forms of which name are different from each other at the root, but could be applied as two titles of the one god.

Jesus

     The name Jesus derives from the Greek 'IESOUS'sometimes abbreviated to Ysus'.    This is easily verified for there is no 'Book of Joshua' in the Greek Septuagint from which the Old Testament was translated into English.    In the original Greek it is the 'Book of Jesus' (IESOUS).    Refer "Read Many Different Versions of the Bible On-Line" and check the Greek name in verses of Joshua.     Centuries before the start of the Common Era, the Ancient Greeks called him 'DionYsus', which name very likely came from 'Theo' being the Greek for God plus the genitive plural ending 'N', which turns the meaning into 'Of The Gods'.    Roman influence then hardened 'Theo' into the Latin name for God, 'Dio'.     The resulting 'Dionysus' giving us 'Jesus of the Gods'.

'Jesus Of The Gods'.    Thus the Book of Joshua could just as easily have been translated as the Book of DionYsus.

     One may wonder why an extra 'I' has been inserted at the beginning of the name in Greek - Ysus    Timothy Freke & Peter Gandy - 'The Jesus Mysteries' - explain - "The Gnostics like their predecessors the Pythagoreans, not only used symbols and images, but also numbers and mathematical formulae to encode their mystical teachings. .......      In the Greek alphabet, each letter also signified a number.      Thus any word also had a numerical value and could be used to convey mathematical information.     The Greek names of the gods were more than just words, their numerical values were also significant. .....      It is well known that according to the Revelation of John the number of the 'Beast' is 666.     What is less known is that according to gematria, the Greek name Iesous - Jesus - expresses the number 888." .....     The Pythagoreans also held musical harmony sacred. - 666 is the string ratio of the perfect fifth, and 888 is the string ratio of the whole tone! (D.Fidler, "Jesus Christ, Sun of God" 1993).

Massey - 'Ancient Egypt' - "The god in conflict with the serpent is Iu the son of Atum, otherwise Atum in the person of the son.      And here we have delved down to a tap-root of the Jesus legend.     Iu-em-hetep in the cult of Atum-Ra is the coming son, the ever-coming su or son of the eternal; and Iu the su = Iusu, or Iusa the son of Iusãas, is the original of Iusu or Jesus.     In one phase the battle was fought nightly betwixt Iu the son of Atum, or, in the Osirian version, betwixt Horus the son of Asar and the loathly reptile."
So, Ysus, the Greek name for Iusa, was one and the same as Horus.

     From time to time when researching Ancient Egypt, I kept coming across one link after another between Egypt and Ireland.

There is a legend that an Egyptian Princess named Scota migrated to the British Isles.    Bronze Age barrows do contain 'long skulled' people who are also referred to as 'Iberians' or 'Dolchicephalus'.    They are thought of as having migrated to Ireland from the Mediterranean Basin, not necessarily just Spain, but as far afield as Egypt.    Kings Tutankhamen and Smenkhkare also had long skulls, and we still see this feature in some African peoples.    Egyptian jewellery has been found in Irish Barrows, and the remains of Egyptian Ships have been found in the Humber Estuary.    The Barrows have similar religious signs such as the Sun Disk and the Star Ships or Arks that carried souls back to their homes in the Stars.    The possibility that the Egyptian God named 'Dj H W T Y' was the origin for the common Irish name of Doherty sounds far fetched.    But is it?

     There is a well known legend in Ireland that at one time Ireland was invaded and conquered by a people whom they remember as Tuath Dedanaan.    The legend has it that Tuath is the underworld and Dedanaan was a Goddess.    This is truly remarkable since the Egyptian netherworld was known as the Duat, and Tatanen was an Egyptian god or goddess.

     If the Scota legend is true then she and her people would surely have taken with them their religion, and the names of their gods.    It is also a fact that some form of Christianity was established in Britain before the Romans converted the Britons to their rigid form of this cult.    So when presented with the Greek name of Iesous as the Son of God, the Irish at least, rejected it in favour of the name they knew best, IOSA.    It is still there in the Celtic Bible as we can see in Mark 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 were no written vowels in Egyptian apart from some throat consonants, which sound like vowels.    The name IUSU could very well have sounded like IOSA, to the Celts, and in fact we can see from the previous explanation of Jehovah that it was sometimes pronounced as IUSA.    In glyphs it is written with a Water Reed - letter 'I' followed by a Quail Chick - letter 'W', and these two letters have either an indeterminate meaning of some kind of presence, or simply 'To Come' or 'Coming'.    The 'W' therefore may be sounded like, 'Uh', 'Oo', or 'Oh'.    There is no letter 'W' in Gaelic, but significantly the Welsh would read it as Oo' or 'Uh'.    In Egyptian a 'Pintail Duck' glyph represents the word S' (S followed by a glottal stop), which means 'Son'.    These two syllables therefore read,'The Coming Son'.

Christian Confusion over the Gaelic Name of Jesus
     Christian scholars writing on the Net appear to be completely and utterly confused by the Gaelic name of IOSA.    They accept that it hasn't derived from the Greek IESOUS, and so in desperation claim that it must have come from the Arab name 'ISA', or the Indian 'ISSA'.    They then continue with the preposterous idea that the Son of God must have travelled to Scotland from an Arabian country or India.    If they would only take some time to study the history of the Celtic Church in Britain, they would see that the first Christian Church in the British Isles was most likely to have adopted some of the more ancient religious beliefs of the Goidels. (Early British Celts).    When at the end of the fourth century CE, the Roman Church in Europe was well advanced, Christianity in Britain was still only one of several faiths, including that of Mars and Jupiter.    As we can see right now, people are very reluctant and slow to dump a long held relgion for something new, and the British value this trait more than other nationalities.    It took 170 years to follow Europe into the Gregorian Calendar, and it may take just as long before they let go of the Pound and adopt the Euro.    Superstition alone binds them to their gods of years gone by.    For the Celts, the Ever Coming Son of God had to be the one they knew so well, namely IOSA or IUSA.

     There cannot be any doubt that Horus, DionYsus, and Jesus are the same character, for every detail is virtually identical in each and every account.    There are many websites on the Internet where these are listed.    If those attributed to Horus were to be removed from the Gospels, we would be left with a hollow shell.

     In fact the same story line runs through those of many other Ancient Gods, such as Attis, Mithras and Adonis.    In India, He is known as Krishna which was until the last century spelled 'Christ-Na'.     Could it be coincidence that devotees of Krishna, chant 'Hari Hari'?    For Osiris, the Father of Horus/Jesus, was also known as Ptah, who had the craft of a Potter.

WHO WAS JESUS?

     So far I have only shown that the name Jesus derives from the spirtual Son of God Iu-Su.     The concept that Egyptian Kings were divine goes back to the 4th Dynasty. But it wasn't until the reign of Queen Hatshepsut that this idea changed into the strong belief that the Kings and Queens of Egypt actually were the living God.    The scenes telling of the birth of the holy child on one wall of the 'Birth Room' in the Temple at Luxor, clearly show the Anunciation, the Conception, the Birth and the Adoration of the new born son of God, in this case Amenhotep III who became known as SalimAmen or Solomon.    Thus every King from that time on was recognised as having the living spirit of Iu-Su or Jesus.

     Amenhotep III's father was indeed called David.    In Egyptian his name was Dyht, pronounced Dyayhut.    Named after the Lunar Deity Thoth or Tuth, he was Dyhti-Ms which means the Son of Thoth (David).

The name of his grandson Tutankhamen was abbreviated to Twt, pronounced something like 'Taywut'.

So he too was a KING DAVID.

     There is no doubt that the young King David was very special.    Artefacts in his tomb are coded to tell us just this.    Refer "The Tutankhamun Prophecies" by Maurice Cotterell.    Only this one tomb out of hundreds of Kings and Queens of Egypt has remained virtually intact and inviolate.    So tomb raiders either respected it or were afraid to break in, other than on one rare occasion.    We only have to take a closed look at what the tomb tells us to see that David was no ordinary King of Egypt.

     In the next chamber to the King's Coffins they found a golden shrine.    In one cartouche the glyphs read 'RE HPRW NEB' which means GOD OF ALL HEBREWS.     RE is shown with the Sun Disk glyph, and NEB - a Bowl glyph - can mean either 'Lord' or 'All'.    If it precedes the noun then it means 'Lord', but when it follows the noun as it does in this case then it means 'All'.     The sign for the word HEPRW is a Scarab, or Beetle, and its meaning was 'Resurrection' or 'Coming Into Existence'.    The glyph is followed by three strokes indicating the plural.    Thus we can regard any Ancient Egyptian who believed in the Resurrection of the Living God, as a Hebrew.    In the main they were the Semite population of Lower Egypt.     In the late 4th Century CE, St.Ambrose referred many times to Jesus as 'THE GOOD SCARABAEUS'.     So here we have a direct link between Jesus and King Tutankhamen.    The Constellation of Cancer was seen by Egyptians not only as a Crab, but also as a Beetle, and so this was the Crib of the Holy Child.

Note: In Egyptian the 'H' of 'Heprw' is aspirated like the 'ch' in Scottish 'loch'.

     In the very next column on the golden shrine there are glyphs which read 'HRWN MSS YY'.     This means 'Born of the Day', but pronounced it sounds like AARON MOSES YAH YAH.

     YAH or IAH was another Lunar Deity. Iahmes, meaning 'Born of the Moon God Iah' was a very popular name in Egypt.     Since the young King David was also seen as the son of Iah, he would also have been known by this name.     As ever when transliterated into English the 'I' or 'Y' turns into the letter 'J', and so we get 'JAMES'.     Names were reversed when written to put the name of God first.      Turn Iahmes around and we get 'MESSIAH'.

     On one wall of King David's tomb there is a painting of the HOLY TRINITY.    David is shown as himself being introduced by his Ka or Holy Ghost who is also himself, to his father the mummified God Asar who also has the same features.    When the son became the father he resurrected the father.    Asar was renamed by the Greeks as Osiris.    When the Al prefix was added, the name became Al-Osiris and then LAZARUS.

     In another painting on the same wall, David is shown carrying a small CROSS to his funeral.      When his mummy was anointed he became CHRIST.    See Christ      It must have been a headache for the story tellers who tried to turn all of these facts about the spiritual side of the young King David into a real live person.     They could hardly say that he was King David, and so they wrote that he was descended from King David.    The only trouble was that they slipped up when repeating this story in a second gospel, by giving different names in the genealogy of Jesus, and many more generations.     The easisest way to explain James was to invent a brother.    Surprisingly they completely overlooked another name - MENELEK, but then that could well have given the game away and exposed the supposed true story as being false.          See Menelek to see how 'Menelek' was derived from 'Tutankhamen'.

COULD JESUS, IOSA, YMNTWTANKH, KING DAVID, AND THE MISSING PRINCE TWTMS ALL BE ONE AND THE SAME?

     One of the great mysteries at the end of the reign of YmnHtp III/SalimAmen III, is what could have happened to the missing Prince TwtMs, more commonly known as Prince Tuthmose.    Until I read Robert Bauval's latest book "The Egypt Code", I only considered this theory of my own as being quite far-fetched although it is not beyond the bounds of possibility.    The priests of Ymn/Amen in Uaset/Thebes/Luxor were I considered very capable of setting up the pretence that TwtMs in his role as the spiritual Iosa had been resurrected from the dead, and born again, to reign again in opposition to the heretical Akhenaten in his new city of Akhetaten.    The evidence to support such a wild speculation is as follows:

     The Bible in 1 Kings 11:11/13 tells us that the son of King Solomon would forfeit his kingdom to a servant or official.      This is what happened after YmnTwtAnkh was entombed.     The priest Ay or Ahijah became the next king of Egypt.      The Kebra Nagast confirms that Menelek was David and we can see that Men el ek was derived from Ymn Twt Ankh, El being the Semitic name for the God Twt or Thoth.    The Kebra Nagast also clearly tells us that Menelek/Ymn Twt Ankh was the eldest son of King Solomon and Queen Eteye/Tiye.    We know that Prince TwtMs was the eldest son, so they have to be one and the same person.

     The tomb of Prince TwtMs has been found, but it was empty, and from all appearances, though made ready, it was never used.      Nor were the final touches showing his funeral and mummification added to the walls.      His name is virtually the same as that of his youngest brother, with both sharing the same God Name.      The first means 'Born of Dyhwt" (pronounced 'Djayhut'. The Second means "The Living Spirit of Dyhwt".      It is as if the name has been changed only to assert that the King still lives on as his spirit.

      The Prince Tuthmose is believed to have held the position of Governor in the northern Capital of Memphis before serving in the Army fighting Ethiopians.      He then became a high priest at Heliopolis before disappearing at the age of twenty-three.      (Refer "The Moses Legacy" by Graham Phillips).      So the chances are that he did return from Ethiopia at the age of twenty-two as we are told in the Kebra Nagast.      It is also possible that he was badly wounded in the Ethiopian campaign, and died soon afterwards.     But in that case why wasn't he laid to rest in the tomb that had been prepared for him.     Could it be that the Priests and Establishment in Waset, in opposition to Akhenaten, pretended that he still lived,?     They may have removed his mummified body from the unadorned tomb, and this could well be the terrible evil that Akhenaten referred to in his proclamations found in the ruins of Akhetaten and which he says were greater than any others he had heard.

     A Coffinette in Tutankhamen's tomb contained a lock of Queen Etiye's hair.    It is therefore much more likely that he was the son of this Queen and not her grandson.      It is his late birth that casts doubt.     But if he really was the Prince Tuthmosis, then this mystery is solved.     Soleb is today well within Sudan.     During the 18th Dynasty it would have been in Ethiopia or Cush.     The monuments at Soleb are therefore another indication that the Royal Family of Amenhotep III had strong ties with these countries, as did that of Solomon.

     There are at least three clues that shout out that the young King was indeed Prince Tuthmose.     A whip found inside his tomb has the Prince's name on it.     Much more telling is the scene on a casket also found in the tomb showing Tutankhamen despatching arrows into a horde of Nubians, while riding in a War Chariot.     Some of the fallen lie beneath the Chariot, trampled by its horse.    As far as we know, there was only one short mission led by the Viceroy Huya to control a minor revolt in Nubia, during the reign of Tutankhamen.      The scene on the casket has to portray Prince Tuthmose's part in the earlier campaign against Ethiopia.     Howard Carter who discovered Tutankhamen's tomb reported that there were many ritual links with Christianity in the tomb.     There were two gala robes and a pair of gloves similar to those later used by Roman Catholic priests.    As far as we know only Prince Tuthmose was a priest, in Memphis.     In Carter's words these "recall official vestments of the character of priestly apparel, such as the dalmatic worn by deacons and bishops of the Christian church...they take the form of a long, loose vestment, having richly ornamented tapestry-woven decoration with fringes on both sides..."(Refer Ahmed Osman's 'Out of Egypt').     Other objects included a number of ostrich-feathers, recalling the flabella still used at a papal procession in Rome.

     Some Egyptologists claim that other tombs were robbed to fill King Twt's last resting place.      This is most unlikely, for the whole idea of articles placed in a tomb was so that the departed would have all of his familiar possessions to reproduce in his afterlife.     They were a reminder of the life the deceased had led and blueprints for use in the next world.     Therefore the Whip, War memorial and his Priestly clothing, which were all attributed to Tuthmose, could only have stayed with the Prince.     Consequently Prince Tuthmose and King Tutankhamen have to be one and the same person on this conjecture alone.

     In a book by Paul Doherty, "The Mysterious Death of Tutankhamun", the author remarks "There is a passivity about Tutankhamun which is quite chilling."      Normally the text in the tombs of other Kings read in the present or future tenses, but as Doherty comments, "The inscriptions about Tutankhamun are always passive, in the main in the third person..."

     There is yet more that is quite extraordinary, again pointed out by Paul Doherty.      The important ritual of 'the Opening of the Mouth' was normally carried out by his successor who was never crowned until the required seventy days had passed after the late King's tomb had been sealed.     But in Tutankhamen's tomb there is a scene showing Ay carrying out the ceremony while already wearing the Crown of a King.     It is possible that Ay had become the King's Co-Regent though there is no evidence of this as we might expect to find had this been the case.     The only reasonable answer is that the King had been dead for a long period, and very likely sealed in an earlier tomb.     There is every sign that the tomb and coffins were prepared in a great hurry, and that the latter had been moved from a larger tomb.

     If there was some pretence that the Prince had risen from the dead, we have to ask ourselves just what story did the priests of Amen/Ymn concoct.     It wouldn't have been difficult because Egyptians already believed that their kings lived on and sailed back to their Stellar homes in an Ark.    The scenario of what they may have announced to the people was possibly not unlike the account told in Matthew 28.

Jews

Massey - 'Ancient Egypt' - "And now if for the modern Jews we read the ancient worshippers of Atum-Iu or, still earlier, of Ptah, we shall be able to follow Isaiah in his survey of the great dispersion of the Jewish people over all the earth.     "The Lord shall set his hand to recover the remnants of his people which shall remain from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Kush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands (or coast-lands) of the sea.      He shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth". (Isaiah 11:11/12 and 12 :2)      It is noticeable that the prophet calls the Lord who is to gather the Jews together from all lands by the double name of Iah-Jehovah. (KJV - 'Lord God', GN - 'Lord' only, dropping Jehovah or God).      Iah is the Egyptian Iu, whose followers were the primeval Jews of Egypt north and south (Pathros), of Ethiopia and Chaldea, of the islands of the sea, and the remotest shores of the earth, including the Jews of Cornwall.      These are the prehistoric Jews who are to be known by the name of the god they worshipped.     This range will include the black Jews of Africa and India, and all the rest of those whose god we identify with Iu the Egyptian original and prototype of all; Iu as god the son, whether of the father as Atum or as Ptah.      No such world-wide dispersion of the Jewish race from Palestine or Judea had ever occurred in the time of Isaiah.      It is the religious community, not the race, that will account for the Jews who emigrated to the ends of the earth, and for the names of the Jewish god, who was the Egyptian Iu, Phoenician Iao, Hebrew Iah, Assyrian Iau, Egypto-gnostic Ieou (greater and lesser), Chinese Iaou, Polynesian Iho-Iho, Dyak Iaouh, Nicobar Islands Eewu, Mexican Ao, Toda Au, Hungarian Iao, Manx Iee, Cornish Iau, Welsh Iau (greater and lesser), Hebrew Iao-Sabaoth, Chaldean Iao-Heptaktis, Greek Ia, and IE, Latin Jupiter and Jove.

      The worshippers of Iao in Phoenicia, of Iau in Assyria, of Iao in Syria, Iau and Hu in Britain, Ia or Iu in Greece, Jupiter in Italy, Iho-Iho in Polynesia, Iau in America were each and all of them Jews in a sense, but the sense was religious, not originally ethnical; and religion does not determine race any more than language does in later ages of the world.     There was a religion of the god Iu or Iao in Egypt thirteen thousand years ago.      That god was Atum-Iu, born son of Ptah.      He was the earliest father in heaven because he was the divine Ra in his primordial sovereignty.      He is the god in two persons who was first figured as the sun upon the double horizon = the father in the west, the son in the east.     This god went forth from Kam by several names and various routes.     Those who worshipped him as Atum became the Adamites, the Edomites, the red men; those who worshipped him as Iao, Iah, or Iu became the Jews in many lands and these are the Jews of that world-wide dispersion recognized by Isaiah, which did not follow any known historical exodus from Egypt or captivity in Babylon, or migration from Palestine.     The Jews were only ethnical at root when the root was the vine in Egypt, or in Ethiopia beyond, and the Jews were one of its branches.     They were only ethnical at root when the race was black, whether these were the black Jews in Africa or in India.

      From the beginning the Jews were as they are to-day, a religious community.     It is the worship of Iu in Egypt thirteen thousand years ago and the going out from thence that will account for the supreme being amongst the Dyaks of Borneo being known to them as Yavuah, which name was not derived from the Hebrew Jehovah, but from the original of both (A. M. Cameron, Proc. Soc. of Bib. Arch.).      The Dyaks also preserve the tradition of a great ancestor who was determined to construct a ladder that should reach up to heaven, but one night a worm ate into the foot of the ladder, and it fell like the tower of Babel.      The Dyaks also have the legend of a great deluge which drowned the chief part of mankind and divided the rest.      These two catastrophes mark the endings of two vast periods in time which preceded the supremacy of Atum-Iu in the Zodiac of twelve signs.     Thus amongst a people so isolated as the Dyaks they have the god Yavuah and the tradition of the two catastrophes which are represented in the book of Genesis by the destruction of the tower and the deluge of Noah.      Naturally the "wisdom" was carried into the island of Borneo with the cult of the god Iaouah, whose worshippers are elsewhere called the Ius or Jews from the Egyptian deity who was Iu or Aiu by name both in the cult of Ptah at Memphis and of Atum-Ra at On.     The same god is found in the Babylonian mythology with the name Ia, or Iau = Iah in Hebrew (Pinches, T. G., Proc. Soc. of Bib. Arch.).      But it is not necessary to suppose the Assyrian god Iau was derived from the Hebrew deity Iahu, or vice versa, when there is a common origin for both in the Egyptian god Iu. ......

     ...... And in the Assyrian eschatology it is Iau, "the sage of the gods", who transports the justified spirits after death to the "place of delights", where they are fed on butter and honey and drink the water that gives eternal life (Records, vol. xi. 161-2).     Our British Druids worshipped a deity of the same name and dual nature as the Egyptian Iu, the Assyrian Iau, the Hebrew Iahu.     This divine duality, consisting of the father and the son, was called by them Iau the elder and Iau the younger, corresponding to the gnostic Ieou and Iao.

     ……the people named after the deity Iu as the Aiu, or later Jews, would come to be recognized in Egypt, the land of temples, as the great builders. And according to Rabbinical traditions the Jews= Ius or Aaiu were the great typical builders.      They are said to have excavated the mountains, raised the pyramids, built temples and cities, and surrounded them with walls; divided the Nile into several canals, and constructed dykes against the inundation (Josephus and Philo ).      One of these great works was the canal of Joseph, i.e. the divine architect who as son of Ptah was his sif, Iu-sif= Joseph.     Also, if we have to do with Egyptians who are only identified by a religious name, that of the deity Iu, there is no difficulty about their having built the Meskenoth of Tum, or, as it is rendered, the store-cities of Pithom and Rameses, when the great temple of Atum-Iu was originally erected at Annu or On, which according to the divine dynasties followed Memphis in attaining its supremacy.     The Jew-name was Egyptian then as Iu, or Aiu, with other variants.     Aiu is a form of the word, and Neb-Aiu, the Lord Aiu, filled the office of high priest in the temple of Osiris at Abydos.     The Aiu as manes in Amenta are the children of Ra, who was Atum-Huhi as Ra the father and Atum-Iu as Horus the son."

John The Baptist

Massey - 'Ancient Egypt' - "Horus at thirty years of age became adult in his baptism by Anup.      Jesus at thirty years of age was made a man of in his baptism by John the Baptist.      Horus in his baptism made his transformation into the beloved son and only-begotten of the father, the holy spirit, represented by a bird.     Jesus in his baptism is hailed from heaven as the beloved son and only-begotten of the father God, the holy spirit that is represented by a dove, which denotes the mystery of all mysteries concerning the origin of the Egypto-gnostic Christ.

      When Horus in his second advent comes to establish the kingdom for his father, who is Ra in the solar mythos and the holy spirit in the eschatology, he has Two Witnesses who testify that he is verily the son of God the father in heaven and the true light of the world.      These are the two Osirian Johns, Anup and Aan, or rather they are the originals of the two Johns in the canonical Gospels.     They are portrayed as the two witnesses to the bird-headed Horus in his resurrection at the vernal equinox.     The planisphere of Denderah shows the jackal of Anup and the cynocephalus of Taht-Aan figured back to back upon the equinoctial colure as the two principal witnesses for Horus, who are thus portrayed as supporters of the Eye which was renewed in Annu once every year (Planisphere in a Book of the Beginnings).      As Egyptian, these two witnesses for Horus are Anup the baptizer and Aan the divine scribe who is the penman of the gods in the Ritual.     We have seen them acting as the two witnesses for Horus in the Osirian judgment hall.     They are also described as the two magi, or magicians.

      Where John begins his preaching in the canonical Gospel Anup is the typical opener of the way (Rit., ch. 26).     He is the forerunner who announces the day of reckoning; he makes the call to judgment; he judges the world, just as John is the judge of the world who calls men and baptizes them to repentance (Rit., 31, Birch).     Anup is also the educator preparatory to the advent of Horus who comes after him although he was before him in status and authority (Rit., ch. 44).      Anup abode darkling in the desert of Amenta until the day of his manifestation in the heliacal rising of Sothis, the morning star of the Egyptian year, which heralded the birth of Horus.      John dwelt in the wilderness till the day of his theophany or "shewing unto Israel" (Luke 1:80).      The solar god was superior to either the lunar or stellar deity.     As star-god, Anup had been the precursor.      The moon-god, Aan, was the witness for Horus by night as reflector of the hidden sun.      This, however, was but the mythical mould for the eschatology, in which Horus was no longer merely the "little sun" of winter, but the son of Ra in spirit and the typical demonstrator of immortality to the manes in Amenta and to men upon the earth.     The two Johns might be distinguished from each other in the Gospels; John the Baptist from John the Divine, by means of Anup, the baptizer, and Aan, the writer of the record in the Ritual.

John The Divine

     John, like Jacob, is very easy to find and identify in the Egyptian King Lists.    Cartouches bearing his name which was Khyan or Cheeaan have been found as far afield as Crete, Baghdad and Anatolia.    The Greek Egyptian historian Manetho lists him as Iannus, Yannis or Yani.    Once again we find that the Greeks added 'is', 'os', 'es', 'ous' or 'us' to the end of all Egyptian names.    For example, the Egyptian Son of God, Iwsu or Iwsa, became Iusus in Greek and then Iesous, which is still their name for Jesus.    Also we have many more examples such as Amenophis for Amenhotep, and Tahpenes for Taduheba.    In the case of John, the barely perceptible initial 'Ch' (aspirated as in Scottish loch) disappears and we end up with Yannis, which is Greek for John to this day.    In Ireland Iwsa was pronounced 'Iosa' and it is by this very same name that we find him today in the Gaelic Bible.

     So Cain was another name for John, but was he The John?    It is altogether possible since it must have been a king called Yani or Ani who wrote or authorised "The Maxims of Ani".    There were of course earlier laws and precepts, but Ani obviously found it necessary to add the Maxims as guidelines for the behaviour of young men.

     It is quite remarkable to find out that John was none other than Cain, but the Greeks recognised this King as John rather than Cain.    See Cain and Abel

Massey - 'Ancient Egypt' - "The apocalypse of John might be described as "scenes and characters from the mysteries of Taht-Aan", who was literally Aan=John, the divine penman.     This was the sacred scribe to whom the 36,000 books or papyrus-rolls were attributed by tradition.      In short, Taht-Aan was the pre-Christian John the divine.      His typical bird, the ibis, is still known in Egypt by the name of John.      His other zootype, the kaf-ape, is Aan by name.     The name of Aani signifies the saluter.     This is the character personalized in John.     Speaking of the angel, he says: "And when I saw him I fell at his feet as one dead". "And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel".      To salute was a primitive mode of worshipping; hence the ape, Aan, was an ideographic figure of the saluter.     The object of the present section, then, is to show that the matter of "revelation" was derived from the Egyptian astronomical mythology and eschatology, and that the Jesus of this book is one with Iu, the su or son of Atum-Ra, who was portrayed as the divine man and bringer of peace to earth a many thousand years ago.      The prototype of Patmos is to be seen in the Ritual (ch. 175).     John is in the isle of Patmos, "for the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus".     He writes of the god who died and is alive again, saying, "Behold he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him" "and they which pierced him" are to mourn (I. 7).      To see how ancient this is, let us turn to the 175th chapter of the Ritual of the Resurrection.     It is "the chapter of not dying a second death".     The divine sufferer is thus addressed: "Decree this, O Tum, that if I behold thy face I shall not be pained by thy sufferings".     This Tum decrees.     The great gods have given him the supremacy, and he will reign "on his throne in the isle of flame for eternities of eternities"    " (Naville, Rit., ch. 175).

Joseph

     The evidence presented by Ahmed Osman in his book, "Out of Egypt, The Roots of Christianity Revealed" for Yuya having been Joseph, is far too convincing to put aside.    There is something in his face, that is, in the face of the Mummy of Yuya that almost screams out his true identity.    Nevertheless we should still take note of what Gerald Massey discoverred, for there may be some overlap, some blending of the facts which perhaps gave rise to his name.    Refer Solomon's Chariotry and Solomon's Religion

Genesis 45:8 "So now [it was] not you [that] sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt."

"Out of Egypt" Only one tomb has been found in Egypt which says that this was a father to a king.     It is that of Yuya who was found buried with the Kings. The inscription reads - " 'it ntr n nb tawi', the holy father of the Lord of the Two Lands (Pharaoh's formal title).      It occurs once on one of Yuya's ushabti (royal funeral statuette No. 51028 in the Cairo Museum catalogue) and more than twenty times on his funerary papyrus."

Genesis 50 25 "And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.     26 "So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt."

     A similar promise was made by Joseph to his father Jacob according to Genesis 50:5, and the following verses maintain that this promise was honoured.    The absence of any confirmation that Joseph's body was moved from Egypt, and the evidence presented in the previous three paragraphs is surely sufficient to show that he was definitely buried in the Valley of the Kings.    It is just awesome that today his mummy and that very same coffin mentioned in Genesis 50:25 can be looked upon in the Cairo Museum.    But what does that say about the Nation that repudiates the very existence of his remains, never mind the promise that was never kept?    Until Joseph is returned to his people and at least given a proper re-burial, his soul can never rest.

Massey - 'Ancient Egypt' -       As mythical characters, Joseph and Jesus are two forms of one original.     Joseph in Israel was a name of the Messiah who was expected as the ever-coming son.      Now, in Egyptian there are two names for the coming son: one is Iu the su = Jesus - the other is Iu the sif = Joseph.     And when the wandering Jew, named Kartaphiles, became a Christian he is called Joseph, and was said to have fallen into a trance once every century, and to have risen again at thirty years of age.      That is the age of Horus the adult in his second advent; also of Jesus in the Gospels, as well as of Joseph when he became the Adon over all the land of Egypt, the double land or double earth of Egypt in Amenta.

      Joseph being identified as a god in Joseph-El, the god Joseph is further identifiable as an Egyptian deity who was Iu, the ever-coming son, both in the dynasty of Ptah at Memphis and also of Atum-Ra at On.     It may be seen from Josephus against Apion (B. i., ch. 32) that the Hebrew hero Joseph was the Jewish form of Iu, the sif or son.     Iu the typical son was the su or sif of Atum, also of Ptah.      In either case he is the resuscitated form of the father who becomes his own son, Iu the sif, as he who is the bringer of peace.      The name of Iu the coming son would be written in Egyptian either as Iusa, Iusu, or Iusif.      The one form passes into the name of Iesous, the other into the name of Joseph, chief among the twelve sons assigned to Jacob or Israel.      The form Iusa may be found in the name of Iusaas, the mother who was great with the Egyptian Jesus or Iusa in the cult of Atum-Ra at On.     The divine nature of Joseph-El may explicate a passage from Cheremon, cited by Josephus, who records a tradition that one of the two leaders of the Israelites, in an exodus from Egypt which can no longer be considered historical, was Joseph.     Cheremon was one of the most learned men in Egypt, and the contemporary of Apion, against whom Josephus wrote his reply.     He was keeper of the rolls and books.     He was an Egyptian historian in the library of the Serapaeum.      He also composed a hieroglyphical dictionary, fragments of which are still extant and have been of service to Egyptologists.     Cheremon, therefore, was one of those who knew.     He not only asserts that one of the two leaders was Joseph, but also that his Egyptian name was Peteseph, and that he was a sacred scribe.      Now, as may be seen, the name of Ptah was rendered by Pet in the Greek name of Petesuchis for the Ptah (Putah) of crocodiles; and Joseph = Peteseph in Egyptian is the sif or son In, i.e. Iusif, whilst Peteseph is the son of Ptah, which he was as Iu the sif of Ptah in the Egyptian divine dynasties-that is, Iu-em-hetep.     Peteseph as Iu the son of Ptah (or Ptah the son) was the divine scribe in person who is portrayed in that character with the papyrus-roll upon his knee and the cap of wisdom on his head.     The fact of Joseph being the son of Ptah, or Ptah in the character of the divine son, was certainly not derived from the biblical history of the Jews, but it was derived by Josephus from an unimpeachable Egyptian authority, viz., that of Cheremon.     Thus, Iu the sif of Ptah, with Moses, is equivalent to the youthful solar god with Shu-Anhur in the exodus from the lower Egypt of Amenta.      Of course, Joseph and Moses could not be contemporaries as historical characters according to the book of Exodus, but they could as mythical divinities.      And when Moses and Joseph are restored to their proper position as deities there need be no difficulty about dates.      As gods they could be contemporaries (see "The Exodus", in Book x.).     Joseph is the typical dreamer and diviner in his youth.      And if Iu the sif of Atum-Ra be not an interpreter of dreams, he was the revealer of the future by means of dreams.     One of the Ptolemaic tablets records the fulfilment of the promise that was made in a dream by this god to Pasherenptah concerning the birth of a son (Renouf, Hib. Lect., page 141 ).     This would be ground enough for the "inspired" writer to go upon in establishing the character assigned to Joseph as the dreamer and interpreter of dreams.     The dream of the sun, moon, and eleven stars making obeisance to Joseph shows the astronomical relationship of the twelve to the signs of the zodiac."

     We have already found that the Bible is very careless with dates and relationships.    If Moses was the Pharaoh Akhenaten, as so many scholars believe, including Freud, then he would surely have known his grandfather, Joseph."

Joshua

      The Biblical accounts of Joshua and Jeroboam are almost like reading the history of the Pharaoh Horemheb.    But we do have more evidence than what looks like a case of plagiarism.    The Throne name of Horemheb virtually confirms that he was Joshua - Djoser Heprw Re, which may be read as 'Joshua Hebrew God' or the name's meaning Joshua the Manifestation of God.

     This then appears to confirm the wide spread belief that Akhenaten was the biblical Moses.    The reigns of intermediate Pharaohs Smenkhkare, Tutankhamen, and Ay were short lived, and it is quite within the bounds of possibility that while these kings were ruling from Waset (Thebes), Akhenaten and Horemheb were building their wilderness city of Akhetaten.    where the people of Israel and Juda were concentrated.      These were not separate countries but an integral part of Egypt and the names imply the people who followed the 'Hebrew' faith rather than being nationals of a separate country.     For example:
Good News Bible - 1 Kings 8:5 "King Solomon and all the people of Israel assembled in front of the Covenant Box and sacrificed a large number of sheep and cattle - too many to count."     The King James version translates the first phrase as " "And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel,".    Since there were in excess of 142,000 animals in the Temple courtyard (1 Kings 8:63 gives figures of 22,000 head of cattle and 120,000 sheep at the Temple Dedication when they were able to count the animals), it is patently obvious that the entire population of a country could not also have crowded into the Temple courtyard.    So if there is any truth in these verses then Israel had to be a very small congregation.

     We are told that Joshua was the son of Nun (Joshua 1:1).     Nun was the name of the Egyptian God of Inundation, or The Deep.    He was also known as Nn, Nnu, Noah, or Neptune to the Greeks.    In the succeeding verses Joshua/Horemheb takes up the commission that God gave Moses and himself.

     Throughout the Bible the Scribes have altered names slightly to hide their true identity.    The Greek Septuagint shows Jeroboam as Ieroboam.    All they have done here is add a couple of 'H's" and then move 'HEB' to the end of the name.    We find a similar transfer of syllables in the case of Mayebra to Abram.

Joshua The Bethshemite

The Bible - 1 Samuel 6:18/19"......even unto the Great Stone of Abel, whereon they set down the Ark of the Lord; which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Beth-Shemite.      And he smote the men of Bethshemesh because they had looked into the Ark of the Lord ...and the people lamented because the Lord had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter."
     We know exactly where Bethshemesh was since biblical scholars have spelt it out for us when revising the King James Version - Jeremiah 43:13 "He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that [is] in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire."
Jeremiah 43:13 (Revised Standard Version) - "He shall break the obelisks of Heliopolis which is in the land of Egypt; and the temples of the gods of Egypt he shall burn with fire."
     Helipolis is the City of On, near to Cairo which was at that time called Babylon.    This was the original Babylon.    The Great Stone of Abel has to be The Great Pyramid which is Mount Sinai, Zion and The Tower of Babel.    The only cover up here is that the initial 'B' and the ending 'on' have been dropped from 'Abel'.

The Bible - Genesis 10:10" And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.    Here we have further confirmation, for the Greek Septuagint reads 'Babylon', not Babel, and Shinar is another English variation of Sinai and Zion.

     The only question left is 'Was there a King of 'Egypt' called Joshua who was known for building Pyramids?'    There was!

     From 2630 - 2611 BCE Egypt was ruled by a 3rd Dynasty King called Djoser - Netjerykhet.    Djoser/Joshua is well known for having built the Step Pyramid at Dashour.    What we do not know is whether he was named after an earlier Pyramid Builder who built the Giza Pyramids, or whether having learned from his first attempt, he went on to at least initiate the building of the Great Pyramid.    While these are usually credited to Khufu and Khafre, there is evidence to show that these Kings merely carried out renovations on the huge monuments.

Judea

Massey - 'Ancient Egypt' - "The land of Judea or Judah was named in Egyptian.      It appears upon the monuments as Iuta or Iutah.     Iu is dual, ta is earth or land, and Iuta is the double land or double earth of the Egyptian mythos localized in Judea.     The dual kingdom of Judea was derived by name from the dual deity Iu, whose followers in Egypt were the Ius, Iews, or Jews, and given to Joseph in the persons of his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh.     "Joseph shall have two portions" says Ezekiel (47:13); and these had already been assigned to the two sons of Joseph by Jacob in the book of Genesis.      In the mythos the two portions of the double earth were united once a year to form the kingdom of the sif or son, who is Joseph in the Hebrew version and Iu the sif as son of Atum-Ra.     The two halves were united by the son in his name of Har-sam-taui, unifier of the double land.

Judgement Day

Massey - 'Ancient Egypt' - "The day, or a day of judgment, was periodic, like the deluge.     It was the ending of a time, an age or aeon, sometimes called "the ending of the world" by those who were ignorant of the sign-language.      It was but an ending of the world, according to the astronomical mythology, when the time had come for "the dead to be judged" and for "them that destroy the earth" to be exterminated like the Sebau in the Ritual.      This ending was also announced by "a great earthquake, when a tenth part of the city fell" (ch. 11, 13).     There was a judgment annually in the solar mythos.      This is still celebrated yearly by the Jews: the same assizes that were held each year or periodically in the Egyptian great hall of dual justice.      But the drama appears so tremendous in the Book of Revelation because the period ending is on the scale of a great year.     It is not the ending of the world, but of a great year of the world. It is the day of doom, the "time for the dead to be judged", upon the hugest scale (11, 18).      The last great day of judgment is known to all the genuine books of wisdom commonly called apocryphal, but the nature and mode of judgment were only made known to the initiated in the mysteries.     The great judgment of all, like the great "deluge of all", was held at the end of the great year of all, in the cycle of precession.      At the termination of this vast period it was the Judgment Day.      Then followed the conflagration by fire or the catastrophe by water, or the subsidence of the mountains, islands, nomes, provinces and other types of the Heptanomis; or the overwhelming deluge of the pole.      The Revelation of John and of Enoch both preserved a fragmentary version of the drama ascribed to Taht-Aan as the mysteries of Amenta, such as: the mystery of the Great Mother who sat on the celestial waters; the mystery of the dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, upon which the woman rode; the mystery of the seven stars; the mystery of the first-born from the dead who rose again as the faithful and true witness on behalf of God the Father."
