Knowing that life continues through reincarnation, for example, this could explains why the Ancient Egyptians went to such lengths to prepare for the afterlife.
Evidence shows that ancient Egyptians thrived in a fertile, tropical region along the Nile, not in deserts.
Egyptian tombs were traditionally located west of the Nile, symbolizing the journey into the afterlife, as they associated the setting sun with death and rebirth.
Evidence supporting this theory includes water erosion marks on the Sphinx enclosure, indicating exposure to significant rainfall in earlier, wetter periods of Egyptian history.

In the small Egyptian village ofNazlet el-Samaan, located near the pyramids and the Giza Plateau, an ancient gate holds in its keystone a carving of a small alien “gray.” The figure was carved from a two-and-a-half-ton block of marble, and the doorway’s base was fashioned from blocks made from an aggregate of small, round crushed stones and sand, the stones in which have been dubbed “coins” by the villagers.
There are other ancient doorways in Nazlet el- Samaan with keystones, as well as carved marble stairways and columns, most now broken into pieces.Many of these ancient pieces have been plastered over by the villagers who now live there and who seek to protect the pieces from those who wish to destroy anything that does not fit with official andconventional Egyptian history.

It is important to understand that early on the Sumerians never considered, nor referred to, the beings who brought them knowledge as “gods.” This was a later interpretation by the Romans and Greeks, who fashioned their own gods after the earlier traditions of the Egyptians and earlier civilizations.

Atlantis is the legendary continent mentioned by the Greek philosopher Plato, who in one of his "conversations" told how the priests of the Egyptian Temple of Sais related to Solon, the great lawmaker the story of its destruction about 9000 years B.
It contains a description of how the Pharaoh sent out an expedition 'to the West' in search of traces of the 'Land of Atlantis,' whence '3,350 years ago the ancestors of the Egyptians arrived carrying with themselves all the wisdoms of their native lands.' The expedition returned after five years with the report that they had found neither people nor objects which could give them a clue as to the vanished land.

If we concede that the Jews were also a branch of the Hamitic stock, then we have, firstly, a Semitic stock, the Turanian, embracing the Etruscans, the Finns, the Tartars, the Mongols, the Chinese, and Japanese; secondly, a Hamitic family, "the sunburnt" race--a red race--including the Cushites, Phœnicians, Egyptians, Hebrews, Berbers, etc.; and, thirdly, a Japhetic or whiter stock, embracing the Greeks, Italians, Celts, Goths, and the men who wrote Sanscrit-in other words, the entire Aryan family.
