I decided to put this post here rather than the new book section in the “forum”. So I have just finished the book “Esoteric Egypt” – The Secret Science of the Land of Khem, by J.S. Gordon. I forget how many books I’ve read on Egypt, but this one is up there. I don’t think there are many books on Egypt that have “nailed it”, except for Schwaller De Lubicz and now Mr. Gordon. There has to be a warning with this book, it’s not an easy read, and has some drawings of pictures which appear all over Egypt in temples etc. As I looked at the pictures one theme kept going through my mind, and that is “who were these people and where did they come from”. To me, they didn’t come from here, NO WAY.

I’ll ask the obvious question; where did they come from ? Or, more to the point, where do you believe they came from (if “came from” is the right term) ? Did the neters fall from the Moon ? I’m not being facetious, it’s a serious question. Also, would you consider Thoth (Hermetic Wisdom) to be the common surface between Horus (civilization) and Set (chaos)?
Doesnt work comparing 2 gods.. ok Neters.. NTR.. with each other.. Triads Baz, you got to think about them as Triads..
Didnt they consider the moon to be Horus’s missing eye? Interesting that you talk about falling from the moon..
the last time I counted 3 gods presumes a triad 🙂
ah! I see what happened there.. I didnt mean comparing them as three gods in a Triad, I meant, compare each triad against each other.. sorry I wasnt clear.. and typed text doesnt help.. 🙂 so.. yeh.. What I meant to say….. was.. Compare the Triad of Abydos.. with Thoth.. well he was the Moon..?? but apparently he created the Theban Triad..and Set.. well.. ok my carefully constructed response falls to pieces.. he was an Annead.. and not in any Triad.. but I find his Set Animal to be very interesting.. If we stay with Dr. F’s logic about the Shirrush.. (being a actual representation of a real animal, now.. extinct….see Genes Monsters Men.) and Ive seen plenty of evidence linking the Shirrush to Marduk.. It may be that the Set Animal actually existed.. and if you look really carefully.. on the Scorpian Kings Mace Head.. you can see little jackal headed owls.. being hung from standards, crowned with the Set Animal…hang on… .By the Magic of Internetz :

so… If we take into consideration that Set.. no I cant call him that.. I hate Hellenisation.. we lose so much.. so.. hmm… No one knows his name.. Set appears to be the Coptic transliteration.. So.. another one to find the real name of.. Putting him on the list with Marduk…
Well.. I’ve confused myself and am heading back into Internet.. Set had red hair apparently.. I wonder if he was left handed and had six fingers 🙂
I was thinking of the Contention of Set and Horus (the sexual psychodrama) which have birth to Thoth; in that story Horus was impregnated by Set; Thoth popped out of his head (in the form of a lunar disc) when one of the other Enneads called to his sperm (!) in order to deliniate an area of cosmic influence and/or to settle a cosmic dispute; the parallel with the masculine origin of the Androgyne from the empty hyper-Set seemed to good not to mention on the GDS site. The reconciliation thereby of Set and Horus in the being of Thoth gives us the Janus-like hero who was pre-figured by the Greeks (or Pelasgians) as Antaios, that is, giving form to the coincidenta oppositorum.
Redheads are always trouble, mythological or otherwise… and they probably all love salad !
Oh, my answer disappeared: I don’t think I was intemperate
Well.. one of those ‘fables of the Gods’.. talks about Set wanting to get it on with Isis.. so she turned into a dog with a knife in her tail… Set turned into a hippo I think.. and spilled his seed…. over the floor.. so Isis berated him for spilling his seed.. which promptmy turned into Watermelons….. sigh.. its stories like these.. that make it harder for us to find the real stories….. unless.. Watermelons.. really are the fruit of Set’s loins..
Baz I don’t know where they came from. But look at them, just look at them, what a magnificent looking race of people. There is not one race of people on earth that compares to them. Their culture, religion and science is way above anything at that time, except for the Sumerians. Their knowledge of the stars is not to be under rated, in my opinion they knew how the universe was made (t/metaphor), and more importantly, how it worked. Check out the book, it’s an eye opener.
you have choices.. Pleides.. Orion.. Sirius B… go on Downunder.. you’re amoungst friends.. give it your best shot and say WHY you chose that one.. 🙂
K, if I had to take a shot at it I would say Mars. Why ?, because of the D & M pyramid in the Cydonia region together with the face on Mars. Pyramids are a sure sign of “something”, and “bind” the Egyptians to some sort of technology. However saying all that, I’m a firm believer of the Annunaki mystery, but that’s another story in itself.
