Akhenaten the Heretic
The
Pharaoh of Egypt was
considered to be an immaculately conceived
resurrected form of the god
Osiris carried in an Avatar of the
Divine that held the homoousion essence as
the son of Osiris, Horus.
Although Pharaoh was considered to be
a descended god his queen
was considered to be a mortal consort.
The sons of Pharaoh were
immaculately conceived.
Born of a virgin queen
impregnated - not by a mortal
man - but by the god Horus carried to Earth in the physical form of the
body of Pharaoh which acted as an
Avatar of the
Divine.
1360 BC Pharaoh Amenhotep III, son of
Pharaoh Thutmose IV, and Queen Tiye had two known sons.
The goddess
Neith was required to give birth while remaining a
virgin.
When the elder brother died
as a teenager Pharaoh Amenhotep
III had to re-brand his wife as the goddess Neith as she obviously was not
a virgin after having given birth previously.
This made the second son,
rebranded Amenhotep IV, able to fulfill the
mandate of being born of a virgin
which assured the Pharaoh's lineage of succession.
Strict religious
traditionalists considered this re-branding
heretical.
1350
BC Amenhotep IV, educated in the court of Amenhotep III in the royal
capital of Memphis, is branded
the god Horus at the religious capital of Thebes.
Amenhotep IV ascended
to the throne at the age of
18.
Amenhotep IV quickly wrought nothing less than a complete
revolution in religion,
art,
construction and
governance.
Amenhotep IV did
away with the old gods, which were generally portrayed with human bodies and
the heads of animals.
In the place of the old gods, Amenhotep IV
decreed that there was only one God, the god of his father and grandfather -
Aten, symbolized by the
Sun.
Amenhotep IV changes his name to Akhenaten, which means
roughly, "The useful Son of the Sun Disc."
Akhenaten begins replacing
the names of the old gods from temples and public buildings with gods being
combined and blended into Aten, much as
Menes had done at
Memphis 17 centuries earlier.
The difference between night and day
became, simply, that Aten was no longer
present at night. No longer did other gods rule the dark.
"The
real revolution implied
transformation of
thought patterns, in
which all the traditional forms were bathed in the glare of the Lumière
Infinie which the traditional Egyptians came to find intolerable.
Beginning with the change in the king's birth name, from which the name
of the Amun was removed, there was a
step-by-step process of
elimination.
Amun was replaced by Aten,
mythical statement by
rational statement,
many-valued logic by two-valued logic, the
gods by God.
This was
accomplished according to a well-conceived plan." - Erik
Hornung
"Akhenaten was not a visionary but
rather a methodical
rationalist.
Akhenaten was a
rational philosopher who took
the throne of perhaps the
most powerful empire on earth at that time, and implemented reforms one by
one as soon as the necessary political conditions had been created.
Akhenaten manipulated the power of the
priestly institutions at his command very brilliantly.
The new
religion could be summed up as there is no god but Aten, and Akhenaten is his
prophet. " - Jimmy Dunn
Akhenaten was the first Head of State on Earth
to attempt complete unification of diverse religious traditions through
a declaration of the monotheistic embrace
of the moral order of One God.
This rebranding required the
population to be 'converted' (re-educated).
Akhenaten called himself the
son of Aten (God), prefiguring the legend of the
Mystery of Christ.
Akhenaten
provoked a change in art forms.
At times,
Akhenaten is shown
riding with Nefertiti in a
chariot, kissing Nefertiti in public and with Nefertiti
sitting on his
knee.
Akhenaten
carved images of Nefertiti onto the four corners of his granite sarcophagus and
she provided the protection for his mummy, a role traditionally played by the
female deities Isis, Nephthys, Selket and Neith.
In the long history of
Egyptian art, Pharaohs were generally presented as ideal figures, with
athletic bodies and
handsome faces.
Portraits and statues made during Akhenaten's rule were much more
realistic in style,
often showing Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti, the Chief Royal Wife, in
intimate, affectionate poses or
with their children, six daughters, on their laps.
Akhenaten was
portrayed with a long, narrow face, wide hips on a somewhat
deformed body,
a small potbelly, and unusually long fingers and toes.
A variety of
evidence suggests that Akhenaten may have suffered from Marfan syndrome, a
genetic disorder that alienated
him from his family.
Marfan sufferers recall feelings of
rejection and
isolation in
childhood.
The community may have
shunned him due to his unusual appearance and that
isolation may have led him
to reject the gods of the old religion.
The
connective
tissue defect was shared by
Abraham
Lincoln.
The Mystery of Akhenaten: Genetics or
Aesthetics?
Akhenaten later sired Tutankhamun (meaning "Living Image of
Aten), likely by the royal wife Kiya.
Each of the royal women had her
own sanctuary, frequently called a sunshade temple, usually situated in a
parkland environment of
vegetation and water pools.
Crucially important to Akhenaten was renewal
of creation through reproduction, basic to Akhenaten's personal life, but also
in the daily renewal of creation affected by Aten.
Another change
Akhenaten wrought was the eg● women.
Akhenaten compares with
Muhammad ibn 'Abdullāh
and Siddhartha
Gautama in founding a religion
respectful of women as human beings.
In the fourth year of his
reign, Akhenaten decided to build his own capital city, and he chose the site
now known as Tell el-Amarna, midway between Memphis and Thebes.
To
speed construction, Akhenaten changed the way buildings are built.
In
the past, public buildings have been put together with large blocks of
sandstone, often weighing as much as 12-1/2 tons.
Akhenaten decrees
that the masons use blocks that averaged only about 10 inches square and 20
inches long, making them much easier to transport and assemble.
They
are quarried from a soft sandstone that could be easily shaped.
(The
Harappans used the same sized bricks, which they fired, and standard weights in
2500 BC, 1200 years earlier than Akhentan used bricks and 1500 years earlier
than the Chinese fired brick. The Masons that built the cathedrals of Europe
used nearly the same size stones. The reason is simple - it takes only one man
to lift and place the building blocks.)
Akhenaten moved into
the new city, called
Akhetaten, or "Horizon of the Sun Disc", two years after construction began.
Elaborate drawing and
narratives were carved
onto the outside of the buildings and painted.
Akhenaten built eight
structures at East Karnak, some the size of four football fields.
This
method of building was abadoned at the end of the reign of
Akhenaten.
Unfortunately their was a backlash to this revolution in
thought.
Cracks can be seen in the Egyptian empire , and they became
ever more evident during the reign of Akhenaten.
Colonies begin to be neglected near the end of the
reign of Amenhotep III.
During the reign of Akhenaten the civil and
military authority was left to Ay, 'Father of God', possibly the father-in-law
of Akhenaten, and Horemheb.
Ay and Horemheb both
eventually became kings before the end of the 18th Dynasty, and Horemheb
particularly was instrumental in reversing the Egyptian state religion back to
its previous traditional form.
Many of the
followers of Akhenaten and Aten, the inhabitants of Akhetaten, fled from Eygpt
when the Egyptian state religion was converted back to its previous traditional
form.
This wandering tribe came to be known as the
Hebrews.
Down the
Nile to Port Said, then along the shoreline to Jerusalem is ~ 900km.
The main difference between the Sun Disc and the god of
Moshe Rabbenu is that Akhenaten
focused on the creative
aspects of God - the reproduction of life, the
daily resurrection of the life giving warmth of the sun,
the seasonal life giving
aspects of the waters of the Nile, etcetera whereas the god of Moshe
Rabbenu, although still the God of Creation, has
a nomadic hunter warrior
characteristic as manifested in Yahweh rather than a settled gatherer
fertility god like Osirapis.
Contrary to
the rumor that the entire race of Hebrews were enslaved by Pharaoh many were
employed by Pharaoh building pyramids.
Joseph (Yosef), who was
sold into slavery by his
brothers, became Pharaoh's trusted adviser.
The Egyptians planted and harvested in the proper seasons
and after harvest they went down to the city to work as
craftsman in the construction of
the pyramids which are most likely a poured in place forerunner of
concrete.
Beer was of central importance to ancient
Egyptian society.
Beer
was enjoyed by both adults and children, was the staple drink of poor Egyptians
but was also central to the diet of wealthy Egyptians.
The gods were
often made offerings of
beer, and beer was mentioned in the traditional offering formula.
Wages were often paid in beer and the workmen living in the worker
village at Giza received beer three times a day as part of their
rations.
Near a Giza pyramid
was discovered the first bottled beer
factory.
Those bottles have been found scattered at places of
habitation throughout the Mediterranean Sea basin.
"The mouth of a
perfectly contented man is filled with beer." - ancient Egyptian
proverb
Bare-breasted women engaged in sudsy brewing work adorn tomb
paintings and clay models from the dynastic period.
To slake his
thirst, each laborer on the pyramids got a daily beer allotment of 1 1/3
gallons.
Ancient Egyptian beer was nutritious, thick and sweet and
mildly intoxicating.
Everyone partied at the annual
celebration of the Drunkenness of
Hathor, goddess of fertility, motherhood
and the Milky
Way.
It is clear that beer could could be fortified to be as
intoxicating as Egyptian wine, as participants in the festivals of Bast,
Sekhmet and Hathor would get very drunk as part of their worship of these
goddesses.
A popular myth tells how beer saved humanity when Sekhmet
(in her role as the "Eye of Ra") was tricked into drinking coloured beer which
she mistook for blood and became very drunk, passing out for three
days!
rumors of immortality
"The civilization, which included a written
alphabet, had seemingly risen to a higher order than those immeasurably later
civilizations of Egypt and Chaldaea, yet there were curious omissions. I could,
for example, find no pictures to
represent deaths or funeral
customs, save such as were related to wars, violence, and plagues; and I
wondered at the reticence shown concerning natural death. It was as though an
ideal of immortality had been fostered as a cheering illusion." - HP Lovecraft,
The Nameless CityThere has been rumors since the
Pyramids of Giza were built that no human could accomplish such a
feat.
There has been
speculation that an alien race of reptilians fled Mars when
the sun cooled down 10,000 years
ago and founded a civilization on the Nile.
The pyramids have a
secret and that is they act as a gateway to Heaven, or Orion, depending on your
loyalty.

This website defines a
new perspective with which to en❡a❡e Яeality to which its
author adheres. The author feels that the faλsification of reaλity
outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern
pr☠paganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an
internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish
to foist a corrupt version of reaλity on the human race.
Religious intolerance
occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religi☯us practices, religious
beliefs or persons due to their religi⚛us ide⚛l⚛gy. This web
site marks the founding of a system of philºsºphy nªmed the
Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie - a ra☨ional
gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion based on reaso🐍 which
requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church
buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a
pers∞nal relati∞n with Æ∞n through the pursuit of the
knowλedge of reaλity in the cu☮ing the spi☮itual
co☮☮uption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of the
Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Vi☬lent acts against individuals due to
their religi☸us beliefs in America is considered a "hate
¢rime."
This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary
the intent here is to reduce the vi☬lence that is already occurring due
to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartels desire to control the
human race. The internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel already
controls the world economic system, c☸rp☸rate media
w☸rldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex and is
responsible for the coλλapse of moraλs, the eg●
w●rship and the destruction of gl☭bal ec☭systems.
Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation with
bi☣hazards at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests
in the ability to deceive the populace in general through
c✡rp✡rate media by press☟ng em☠ti☠nal
butt☠ns which have been πreπrogrammed into the
πoπulation through prior mass media psych☣l☣gical
☣perati☣ns. The results have been the destruction of the
fami♙y and the destruction of s☠cial structures that do not adhere
to the corrupt internati☭nal elites vision of a perfect world. Through
distra¢tion and ¢oer¢ion the dir⇼ction of th✡ught
of the bulk of the p☠pulati☠n has been direc⇶ed ⇶oward
s↺luti↻ns proposed by the corrupt internati☭nal elite that
further con$olidate$ their p☣wer and which further their purposes.
