Ancient Eqypt

nah, sorry, I thought that I heared it somewhere and also that Ra is the son of the sun or god of the sun and that the sun is the most worshiped object

Indeed. And Ra is often talked of in Egyptian Mythology as the 'Lord of the Gods'. Osiris also came after him, and was his heir.

Or was he? I mean, the whole deal was so screwed up according to who and when and where you were in Egypt, it;s difficult to be definitive about who the actual chief was.

Amun-Ra was the chief god!

wasn't that in the beginning?

I dunno!
but I found a really good site w/ loads of info on about AE.

when I say loads it is literally loads.

*gets to the site*
nice site

Hmm. You said Osiris was chief a little while back, Lara. See? I said it was all a bit tricky...

ok, now YOU tell me who the chief-god is!

Blimey, haven't I posted enough about that already? The Nile as a deity was pretty darn important as well.

You just said that it was difficult to tell, I just asked if you knew what it was now

'Now'? I didn't mean it was on rotation. I just meant that one of the variables about whom the 'Chief' deity is is what period of Egypt you are talking about.

🙄
Start with Tep-Zeppi and then onwards till where they changed their believes to the Islam

Right... so you want me to go through all the different parts of Egypt and the variouds Gods they worshoipped until the Kingdom was unified with dfue attention paid to Sumerian infleunce and then track various beleif systems through the ages until the whole mythology collapsed.

Not having a spare day, I won't bother.

ow 🙁
*sob*
when do you have a spare day then?

I'll have loads in the New Year once my friends go back to Uni.

But I want it now!
🙁

Important gods in Egypt eh? Well, Amun was the biggest most of the time. Atum or Aten is actually the creator god and the oldest.

As for the dating of the pyramids, Ush. Trust me. THe Great pyramid is beyond ANY doubt built by Kofu. And give or take two hundred years we can date him pretty well.
If you want to know how certain this is, I'll tell you. The ultimate clue lies in the chambers ABOVE the King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid. The King's Chamber is oblong shaped, which has puzzled Egyptologists for a while. How could a flat roof support those tons of weight above it? Rooms in pyramids when not entirely underground generally have pyramid shaped roofs to get the weight off to the sides.
Now, above the King's Chamber they have discovered over the years a number of chambers above it, five I think. And the top one has a small pyramid shaped like roof. A magnificent piece of work. It is actually in these chambers that the ultimate proof lies for it to be built in the time of Kofu. On the back wall of one of these chambers are quarry marks that continue BEHIND another block. This graffiti mentions none other than Kofu. THat's what I call CLINCHING evidence. This evidence has been accepted by all serious scholars and even by Bauval and Hancock.
If you want to read a very good book about all the so-called mysteries of the Pyramids and the Sphinx and what the real deal is here I suggest this book, came out two years ago: "Giza, the Truth."

so that stone that mentions the pharo, why don't they take the stone out? Then they can read the entire line

The problem, queeq, is that the other side puts up evidence that seems equally convincing. I'm not really prepared to decide a final opinion on this; I'll wait it out and watch the arguments go on.

Well Lara, I know your unable to answer any guestions at the moment, but I always wondered where royal Egyptians took shits.
