On Trevor Grassi’s channel, Dr. Manu Seyfzadeh argues that the building inscriptions at the temple of Horus in Edfu keep an Egyptian pattern behind Plato’s account of a lost island power. The carved temple is late, but he says the mythic passages use an older stage of the language, so they were not composed to impress Greek visitors. In his reading an earlier world cycle is drowned, and a resurrection story follows in which written creation words, not a purely spoken tale, remake what was lost. He treats the temple plan as a copy of the sky. A linguistic ancestor of the name Atlantis, he says, stands on those walls, and Solon, inside Plato’s dialogue, turned Egyptian names back into Greek. A span of seven thousand years in the inscription is lined up with Plato’s date for Egypt’s beginning after the war with Athens. Seyfzadeh starts from the Egyptian wording and only afterward compares Edgar Cayce, without treating every Cayce detail as settled. Flood memory and the claim that Greek ideas of harmony have Egyptian roots stay inside that comparison.
Key points
- Seyfzadeh reads the Edfu mythic texts as older than the Ptolemaic temple because of their language.
- An earlier cycle is drowned, and creation words that were written down are used to rebuild it.
- The temple is described as a copy of the heavens, matching the shape of Plato’s creation story.
- He claims a forerunner of the name Atlantis is present on the wall, with Solon recasting Egyptian names into Greek.
- A seven thousand year figure is aligned with Plato’s date for Egypt beginning after the war with Athens.
- Egyptian wording comes first in his method, and Edgar Cayce is only a later comparison, not the proof.
