Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 18622835 United States 11/24/2012 12:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Taking it literal is like trying to find a being called "god" under a rock. Every myth and religion synchronize to make a story about the workings of our solar system earth seasons and galaxy along with the inner workings of the soul Rah is no more than old man kronos or zueses father his son osiris is jesus set is satan. Rah is god his sun osiris is the sun he fights set in a eternal battle night and day. he judges you every winter only so you can be born again with all life around you during the spring. the four seasons in chistianity is mark mathew luke and john the four main gospels based around christ's our suns journey. their are many similarity's between just the two story's of existence its just reading between the lines is what it takes to realise the beautiful syncatic relation they share with you. Quoting: Talkinghands Try not to get tangled up in the literal renditions they are mere story's for children, and as the child gets older his father would start to explain how they really relate to reality. I'm not really taking this "literally"------I am simply trying to find out if the Sumerian Gods and Egyptian Gods are simply the same deities under different "names." sumer to egypt,as "The Gods" population increased they spread out,had to have something for the youngsters to do.............. Ok.......whatever that really means. |

It's a shame and a mockery for modern scientist to profess the Sumerian's "gods" and those of ancient Egypt are one and the same, but no, they are not. Compare it to somebody saying Muhammad is the same as Jesus, that's about how insulting it is to say the same. Egypts gods were based from ancient Ethop's, while the Sumerians are wholly their own creation. Completely different. EL |

I guess it one follows Setchin you would disagree. The change between cultures WOULD have to be great, of course...to accommodate for the cultural differences. The Egyptian Gods (at least by modern Kemetic standards) are NOT of the Polytheistic Persuasion. They are aspects of the same, One Deity. Different from the Greek Gods, who are individuals in their own right. True Polytheism. What about the Sumerian Gods? Are they Polytheistic or the opposite? (Problem is, nobody worships them anymore. It is not like Hellenismos or Kemeticism. It is not a living religion anymore. Except perhaps for Setchin people). |
