Where are the camels in ancient Egyptian drawings?

However, the ancient Egyptians were conspicuously silent about the camel’s central role in their society.

And what wasn’t there earlier couldn’t have been documented or depicted by the ancient Egyptians.

Interestingly, the Bible is used in this study as a historical source alongside Egyptian, Assyrian, Phoenician, and Sardinian inscriptions.

Egypt

The Hyksos Expulsion

The Hyksos Expulsion refers to the series of events during the 16th century BCE when the native Egyptian rulers of the Eighteenth Dynasty successfully drove out the Hyksos, a foreign dynasty that had taken control of the northern part of Egypt, including the Nile Delta region.

The Hyksos maintained control over Lower Egypt (the northern part) while the native Egyptian rulers governed Upper Egypt (the southern part) from Thebes.

Despite being foreign rulers, the Hyksos adopted and integrated many aspects of Egyptian culture and administration.

Ahmose I captured Avaris, the Hyksos capital, and pursued the fleeing Hyksos into the Levant, securing Egyptian borders and re-establishing native rule over the entire country.

His victory marked the end of the Second Intermediate Period and the beginning of the New Kingdom, a prosperous era in Egyptian history.

Restoration of Egyptian Rule:

The expulsion of the Hyksos was a turning point that restored Egyptian sovereignty and led to the reunification of Egypt under native rule.

The Hyksos introduced new technologies and cultural elements that were assimilated into Egyptian society, contributing to its development during the New Kingdom.

The Hyksos Expulsion is celebrated in ancient Egyptian texts as a moment of national triumph and liberation, and it played a crucial role in shaping the history and identity of ancient Egypt.

Yahwistic Religion and Its Influence on Abrahamic Religions

Some scholars suggest that the Exodus narrative and the figure of Moses have parallels in Egyptian history and mythology.

Exodus, Moses and Egyptian history

Scholars have identified several parallels between the Exodus narrative, particularly the figure of Moses, and elements of Egyptian history and mythology.

Monotheism: Some scholars draw parallels between Moses and Pharaoh Akhenaten, who promoted the worship of a single deity, Aten, and attempted to shift Egyptian religion towards monotheism.

Education and Upbringing: The Bible describes Moses as being raised in Pharaoh's household, where he would have received an education befitting an Egyptian prince.

This parallels the upbringing of Egyptian princes who were educated in various disciplines including leadership, military tactics, and religious rituals.

Manetho’s Osarsiph: The Egyptian priest Manetho, as cited by Josephus, tells of a priest named Osarsiph who led a group of lepers out of Egypt and enacted laws similar to those attributed to Moses.

Ipuwer Papyrus: An ancient Egyptian document known as the Ipuwer Papyrus describes calamities that befell Egypt, which some scholars suggest resemble the biblical plagues.

The 7th Human Civilization

Known for the construction of a massive triangular structure, the precursor to the Egyptian pyramids.

The buildings of the first breeds are lost, but the fifth civilization was the one, which built the large triangular constructions we call "Egyptian Pyramids” today around 75,000 years ago (Egyptians just found that large ancient pyramids in the sand and tried not very successful to built similar constructions) and the sixth civilization was the one, which built the cities which ruins you can find today beneath the sea in the so-called Bimini Area around 16,000 years ago.

Mundus Subterraneus includes several pages about the legendary island of Atlantis including a map with the Latin caption "Situs Insulae Atlantidis, a Mari olim absorpte ex mente Egyptiorum et Platonis Description," translating as "Site of the island of Atlantis, in the sea, from Egyptian sources and Plato's description."

Calenders

Oldest Calendars of the world

Ancient Egyptian Calendar: The traditional start date is around 4241 BCE, often associated with early dynasties.

The ancient Egyptian calendar, one of the oldest known calendars, began around 4241 BCE.

The Coptic calendar, also known as the Alexandrian calendar, is used by the Coptic Orthodox Church and is based on the ancient Egyptian calendar but starts from the year 284 CE, marking the beginning of the Diocletian era.

To clarify the table, we'll focus on the ancient Egyptian calendar's original start date and note that its current use is mainly historical, while the Coptic calendar has a different start point and current year.

Influence on Other Cultures: He asserts that African civilizations influenced other ancient cultures, such as the Sumerians and Egyptians, rather than the other way around.

African Influence on Egyptian Civilization:

Credo Mutwa claims that the Egyptian civilization, including its gods and cultural practices, originated in Africa.

Mutwa discusses how the depiction of gods and kings in African and Egyptian art often includes beards.

He also mentions that the Egyptian Pharaohs wore false beards as a sign of their godlike status and to symbolize their connection to the divine.

This cultural practice influenced Egyptian iconography, where Pharaohs were depicted with beards, sometimes even false ones, to symbolize their divine wisdom and authority.

Aegyptiaca

Pre-dynastic Rulers

The term "Pre-dynastic Rulers" refers to the period in ancient Egyptian history before the establishment of the first historical dynasty.

This era is characterized by the formation and development of the early Egyptian state, leading up to the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh of the 1st Dynasty.

This represents the total duration of the pre-dynastic period, covering about 1900 years of early Egyptian history.

Manetho was an Egyptian priest and historian who compiled a list of kings in the 3rd century BCE.

The "Spirits of the Dead" and the "Followers of Horus" refer to ancestral rulers mentioned in ancient Egyptian traditions and texts.

The "Spirits of the Dead" (also called "Shem-Su-Hor" or "Followers of Horus") are mentioned in ancient Egyptian texts and king lists, such as those compiled by Manetho and in the Turin Royal Canon.

Manetho's King List: Manetho, an Egyptian priest and historian from the Ptolemaic period, mentions a series of divine and semi-divine rulers preceding the historical dynasties.

Naqada is not an individual but rather a significant archaeological site in Upper Egypt that has given its name to a key cultural phase in pre-dynastic Egyptian history.

The term "Naqada" refers to both the site and the chronological phases of the pre-dynastic period, which are crucial for understanding the development of early Egyptian civilization.

Significance: It is one of the most important pre-dynastic sites in Egypt and has provided extensive evidence of early Egyptian culture and society.

These phases represent the progression and development of pre-dynastic Egyptian society, leading up to the unification of Egypt and the establishment of the 1st Dynasty.

Painted Tomb at Hierakonpolis: Another significant find, this tomb contains early wall paintings that are important for understanding the development of Egyptian art.

Aegyptiaca

The semi-mythical aspect of Manetho’s king list

The semi-mythical aspect of Manetho's king lists generally refers to the earliest periods of Egyptian history, particularly the First Dynasty and some parts of the Pre-Dynastic period, often referred to as the "Mythical Period" or the "Time of the Gods" and "Demigods."

He was a central figure in Egyptian mythology, often depicted with a falcon head and a sun disk.

He is one of the most significant deities in Egyptian mythology.

His reign marked the beginning of recorded Egyptian history.

The calculation is made by the Egyptians themselves."

Herodotus' claim of 341 generations from Menes to Sethos can be analyzed considering ancient Egyptian generational calculations.

These mentions often align with Herodotus' portrayal of Menes as a foundational figure in Egyptian history.

Foundation of Egyptian Civilization:

Manetho was an Egyptian priest and historian of the Ptolemaic era (3rd century BCE) who wrote "Aegyptiaca" (History of Egypt).

Aegyptiaca

Manetho’s King Lists

Manetho was an Egyptian priest and historian from the 3rd century BCE who is known for his works on the history of ancient Egypt.

His primary contribution to Egyptian historiography is his "Aegyptiaca" (History of Egypt), written in Greek.

In this work, he organized the history of Egypt into a series of dynasties, which remains the basic framework for the study of ancient Egyptian history today.

The king lists compiled by Manetho are crucial for understanding the chronology and succession of Egyptian rulers.

Herodotus

Account of Sethos

Sethos, according to Herodotus, was a priest of Hephaestus (the Greek name for the Egyptian god Ptah) who rose to become the king of Egypt.

"The Egyptian warriors refused to come to his aid; in his distress, the king entered into the inner sanctuary and, before the image of the god, bewailed the calamities which threatened him" .

"After this the Egyptian king, returning home in triumph, raised in the temple of Hephaestus a statue of himself, holding in his hand a mouse, and bearing the following inscription: 'Look on me and learn to reverence the gods".

Herodotus

Account of Cheops

He closed all the temples, and, being desirous of knowing how many loaves the people consumed, ordered every Egyptian to bring him a certain number daily, from which the amount was ascertained.".

According to Herodotus, Cheops forced labor upon the Egyptians to build the Great Pyramid.

Our Predeluvian History

Herodotus wrote that Egyptian history spanned over 14,000 years before his era

Herodotus

Ancient Egypt – 11,800 BCE

Herodotus, the ancient Greek historian, wrote that Egyptian history spanned over 11,340 years before his own time.

This assertion is found in his work "Histories," where he writes about the long and storied past of Egypt as relayed to him by Egyptian priests and sources.

Herodotus' estimate of Egyptian history is much longer than the modern understanding, which places the beginning of the Pharaonic era around 3100 BCE with the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh, Narmer.

Timeline of Egyptian history as described by Herodotus, with quotes from his work "Histories" to illustrate the key events.

Herodotus did not provide specific details about this early period, but he described the antiquity of Egypt as relayed by Egyptian priests.

Herodotus mentions the early development of Egyptian society, emphasizing their long history.

"The Egyptians themselves say that their ancestors, in the time of the first king, lived on what the earth produced naturally" (Histories, Book 2, 2.93).

Herodotus provides insights into early Egyptian customs and society.

"In ancient times, the Egyptians had no kings, and the country was ruled by the priests" (Histories, Book 2, 2.142).

"The Egyptians were the first to establish the solar year" (Histories, Book 2, 2.4).

Mummification

In "Atlantis: The Antediluvian World" by Ignatius Donnelly, it is stated that the Egyptians, the Guanches of the Canary Islands, and the Peruvians all shared this belief and practiced mummification as a result.

Donnelly mentions that mummification was practiced by the Guanches of the Canary Islands, Egyptians, and Peruvians, indicating a widespread tradition that transcended geographical boundaries.

Donnelly's text provides details on how the Egyptians and Aztecs performed mummification by extracting the bowels and replacing them with aromatic substances.
