There never has been a greater cause of bloodshed and strife than the politics of religion. Egypt was conquered by the Greeks, and later the Romans who were intent on putting their own stamp on history. Until the modern era the only history of ancient Egypt to survive was contained in what is called 'the old testament.' The snapshot it depicts of Egypt and its relationship with the Israelites was created by the one we now call Moses. Moses had his own ax to grind and no one to contradict him or keep him factually correct. But there are always two sides to a story. The Israeli story survived, and came to be taken as history per se. The Egyptian story did not. This is a treatise from the other side of the coin.

The one now called Moses is a pivotal figure in the three Abrahamic religions. His time is given at about 1200 B.C. but is subject to debate by biblical scholars. The pyramids themselves were ancient before Moses came along. It is assumed that Ramses the 2 nd was the Pharaoh at that time. Moses lived a scant century after the time of the Pharaoh Akhenaton ( Amenhotep lV.) Akhenaton is called the ‘heretic' Pharaoh. He attempted to convert the country from its pantheon of regional gods to the worship of one single god which was symbolized by the sun. Akhenaton is deemed to be the first ruler to have conceived of monotheism; the worship of the one and only Creator, the uncaused cause of all causation from which all else flows. Being consumed with religious devotion, Akhenaton neglected matters of state and was overthrown by an alliance of the existing priestcraft and the military. The similarities between the religious tenets espoused by Akhenaton, and those given to the Hebrews by Moses are cited by many religious scholars as evidence of the former's influence on the latter. For the purposes of this website we are accepting the assumption that the one called Moses was author of the Pentateuch, or the first five books in the text we now know as “ the Bible.” But we have to go back even further in Time to see just how this stage was set.

Up until the Israelites left Egypt they had no written language. So the biblical chronicle of time from creation until the first three historic generations was made up by its author, Moses. What is not real is relegated to the realm of belief. In the beginning, Moses was working with a blank slate. He literally created a creation story that continues into the present. This scenario requires Moses to teach the art of writing to younger generations. The Egyptians had their scribes, many of whom are known by name. Moses grew his own, none of which are cited in the Bible. Biblical phantoms these. Curiously, both Egyptian hieroglyphics and ancient Hebraic lack vowels. This is a major linkage between the two cultures. The vowels which gave words their meaning were closely held by the priestcraft. This allowed the priests to be able to interpret scripture to suit their own ends. It gave them control over their respective followers, who were thereby prevented from thinking for themselves.Yet nowhere in the Pentateuch is any accounting made of just how a written language became established. No one in modern times has even pondered the question.

The book of Genesis gives a highly editorialized historical account, coupled with the incorporation of ancient legends for which historical verification is largely lacking. This characterizes it as a walking contradiction, partly fact and partly fiction. Moses' task at the time of the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt was to recapitulate, revise, restate, reorganize, and codify Judaism at a critical moment. If the Jews were in danger of extermination at that time, Moses then, is truly their savior. However it is seen, the work that Moses accomplished has survived largely intact for 3,000 years, and includes the spawning of two subsequent religions known as Christianity, which is now some 2,000 years old, and Mohammedanism, which is itself an updating of core teachings. The latter two are religions of afterlife. Judaism is not.

It is not possible to characterize or limit any of the great religions in a simple, or brief manner. No doubt there will be many criticisms and challenges to any attempt to do so. Nonetheless some background is necessary to put the story in perspective.

Religion in general represents mankind's efforts to search for, and give meaning to, Life itself. The Jews shared a common culture of the ancient Near East, but also stood apart from it. In the Book of Genesis the Lord God Jehovah interacts with humankind as creatures of freewill in a covenant relationship. Unlike other religions of the time, Judaism avoided magical rites associated with enhancing fertility, the productivity of the soil and nature, the curing of diseases, etc. With Judaism, evil is introduced into the Divine world by human beings, with the implication being that by their own conduct, humankind can repair the evil they produce. Morality and the human potential for understanding ... not immortality... were the concerns of the Biblical author(s.) The introduction of immortality would come later.

Disregarding the fact that Genesis contains passages that men and women were created twice before one gets to the ‘Garden of Eden' story, the Adam and Eve tale is the one which has come to prominence in modern times. In this scenario, by eating from the tree of knowledge first, and not the tree of Life, Adam and Eve lost forever the opportunity for humankind to become immortal. What prevented them from partaking of both goes unaddressed. It is just plain stupid to believe that sentient knowledge can be acquired, and more, that different kinds of sentience may be obtained automatically and magically from eating different foods. Certainly we know better, and have known better for some millenniums now. If it were so, we could eat knowledge instead of spending years and tens of thousands to acquire an education. Were it were so, but it is not. So the poisoned fruit idea must be seen as an allegorical rather than literal symbol. When any religious or political faction holds that gaining knowledge brings holy eternal damnation it is not the God of Light that is being worshipped. Ignorance is not a virtue.

Whereas in the other religions of the time, priest-magicians were called upon to exorcize demons, spirits, disease, bad luck, and the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, the Hebrew concept was that each individual had a personal relationship to God, and had a personal responsibility and obligation to overcome their own negative instincts and actions. It was possible therefore, for any individual to atone for transgressions in the here and now, thereby absolving themselves from the wages of iniquity and ‘sin.' As a religious system, it represents a rational approach.

The entire concept of continuing consciousness beyond the event called death is absent in the Hebraic religion. Instead, Divine reward for a life well lived is longevity. Sarah begets a child by Abraham at 93 years of age. Enoch lived 365 years. His offspring, Methuselah, lived to be 969 years old. The assumption must have been that people who died at what we would call a normal age had lived less than ideal lives. We also have it that God would punish particular offenders from time to time with pain and sufferings such as Job's boils, Lot's wife turning to salt, the Earth opening up and swallowing thousands at a time, and even a massive flood once for the whole damn bunch. Disobeying the Lord God Jehovah carried major consequences for “Your God, my God, is a vengeful God.... Vengeance is mine saith the Lord...an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” All of this within the realm of life in the here and now.

All due respect to modern religion, anyone willing to suspend common sense and believe that it is possible for a 93 year old woman to have a normal child, for an individual to live 969 years, or that God punishes His people with natural calamities will believe anything. So from the beginning pages, belief in the Judeo-Christian religion requires the suspension of rational thought. Starting with Genesis, the line between rational understanding and sheer belief is crossed. Once beyond this thresh hold, fact and fiction become one and the same. That such is a requirement of two major religions in the modern world is attributable to the politics of religion, and its alliances with church and states along the way. We tend to accept it for no other reason than it is what we have inherited from previous generations. Being largely an irrational fiction, one justified explanation becomes as good as any other.

The Jews in Egypt

We have it from Genesis that the one called Joseph ( of the coat of many colors,) was sold by his brothers into slavery. That Jews would sell members of their families into slavery does not commend them well in history, but such was the case we are told. From this dastardly act great things are to emerge. Joseph was said to have been sold to an Egyptian military officer who took him back to Egypt as a household servant. Joseph it seems, is an exemplary person, intelligent, creative, obedient to his master, and a general asset to the household. He is also very handsome and physically fit, and attracts the unwanted attention of his master's wife. She tries to seduce him in her bedchamber but Joseph escapes her clutches, leaving behind a piece of his garment torn off in the conflict. The wife then uses it to accuse Joseph of attempted rape. Joseph is sent to prison.

While in prison Joseph is seen once again as an exemplary person and is given duties and responsibilities in the prison's routines. The book would have us believe the Egyptians gave him control of the prison itself which is hardly likely. He also becomes known as an interpreter of dreams. When the royal interpreters fail to explain one of the Pharaoh's most disturbing dreams, Joseph is summoned to take a crack at it. The Pharaoh had dreamed of seven healthy ears of corn and seven withered ears of corn. Joseph interprets this as Egypt will have seven years of abundant crops, and seven years of drought. The Pharaoh then decrees that for the seven good years that extra grain be stored for the seven lean years. It all comes true and Joseph is elevated into the Pharaoh's court.

Owing to the excellence of the one called Joseph, the Pharaoh decides that his people must be an asset, and so they are invited to immigrate into Egypt legally. Before this time, the Jews in Egypt were primarily squatters who had fled drought elsewhere in the region. The early squatters were mainly cattle herders who grazed their livestock on the fringes of Egyptian agriculture.

So the Jews come into Egypt by invitation. Egypt is somewhat multi-national in that it engages in widespread mercantile trade. This necessitates people from a variety of countries to transit and sojourn in Egypt. Egypt was the land of milk and honey; politically stable, prosperous, and secure. It was by all means the best place to be at the time. Nowhere in history is recorded any story by which the Jews become the slaves of Egypt by force of arms. This assumption is one of the biggest fairy tales of all time. According to the Pentateuch Joseph was made the Pharaoh's Vizier and given control of the whole of Egypt. Under the Jewish leadership the entire country became impoverished. The Jews thereupon offered their labor in bondage to the Egyptians. Bondage is a form of contractual voluntary service, not slavery. Nowhere in the Pentateuch are the Jews said to be slaves of the Egyptians.

The picture painted in Genesis is plain enough as far as it goes. Leaping forward in time, the Jews are ensconced in Egypt and are doing very well. But some difficulties arose as time went by. For one thing, the Jews refuse to assimilate. They maintain their own language, their own diet, they did not intermarry, and worst of all, they asserted their religious laws to be superior to that of the state. The Jews are a very cohesive peoples. The facts remain the same to this day in large degrees. In ancient Egypt, in addition to these transgressions, their birthrate exceeded that of the Egyptians. This threatened the demographic stability of the country internally. Furthermore, the Jews denied the existence of immortality per se.

The Egyptian rulers may have overlooked a few differences, but the entire Egyptian political and religious structure was based upon the immortality of the Pharaoh, and by conferrence, the immortality of his subjects. It was the basis of law and order in Egypt. The Jewish precepts denied the existence of after life itself. This was an intolerable insult, and a standing libel upon the Crown. In the end this amounted to a criminal insurgency in the mind of the Pharaoh, the priests, and civil administrators. This endangered the Maat ( order,) which Pharaohs were required to maintain and by which they themselves were judged. If the Maat was to be preserved the Jews had to go.

Various methods were tried as recorded in the Pentateuch. It is incredible that these events escaped recordation by the Egyptians, but this episode in history is completely one sided. Perhaps the situation was seen as an embarrassment and deliberately excluded from Egyptian history. To their credit, the Egyptians did not resort to wholesale slaughter. A mass exodus had to be politically engineered. But how ?

Enter MOSES

The one called Moses is an interesting character . It is said he was born a Hebrew, but was placed in a basket and floated on the Nile as an infant by his Mother, who sought to spare him from being killed by the Egyptians, who, like Herod before them, were said to be killing first born sons. As the story goes, Moses is found by an Egyptian princess who takes him into the royal household where he becomes Egyptian by adoption. The ancient Egyptian Pharaohs did this with some frequency. Even Nubian royal children were adopted into the royal household and raised as princes of Egypt, to return in adulthood to their own peoples, to rule in symbiosis with Egypt. The Egyptians were masters of politics. They were operating at the political pinnacle of the middle east. They invented and implemented a structure of government that lasted more than 3,000 years. Very sophisticated this civilization. Their doctrine of the resurrection of the spirit body and the immortality of the soul existed in Egypt from pre-dynastic times.

In our version of these events, Moses is an odd man out in the royal court. As an official guest, but non-blooded member of the royal household, Moses is not part of a hereditary legacy, and can not inherit power or office from the crown. Being recognized by the indigenous priests as a prodigy, Moses is delivered to the Mystery School at Giza for indoctrination, training, and initiation. Not having come from a foreign state, Moses returns to the court after becoming a high priest of the Mysteries; transcendentally adept. He may have been the liaison between the Pharaoh and the Mystery School.

Being genetically Jewish, Moses had the bonafides from both sides of the equation. He is trusted by both sides. His influence with the Pharaoh, and the legacy of Joseph's work, gives him unique status in both communities. He is the only one of them able to interface directly with the Pharaoh himself. Moses is delegated by the Pharaoh to find a way to get the Jews to leave Egypt. Moses accepts the assignment. He would use their religion to do it.

According to their legend, the promise of land was given to Abraham by God. The promise had not yet been fulfilled, but remained the long term goal of the Jewish people. They wanted a place where they could live on their own terms, with their own laws, and their own traditions. The “promised land” became the carrot in front of the horse.

There is nothing more powerful than a negative suggestion. Moses first floats the idea that the Jews are captive and can not leave. This, he tells them, is the last barrier between them and Abraham's covenant with Jehovah. Mean old Pharaoh refuses them their freedom. “Let my people go!” becomes the war cry. Add rumors of a little hocus pocus [ He reports that his snake devoured Pharaohs snake!] and voila! Moses is accepted as a religious authority with his own people. The plan is fulfilled. The Jews now want to leave Egypt. Pharaoh lets them go. Egypt sees itself as well rid of them, bidding them farewell with "an high hand." (Buh-bye and be sure to write if you get work. ")

POST EXODUS

Moses has now attained the mantle of a living patriarch. As could be expected, his charges are a mixed bag, with competing political leadership, and people of varying degrees of intelligence and disposition. But in the cause of unifying his people religiously and politically Moses had a powerful weapon. It is called fear. Fear of God being especially powerful in those who believe in direct punishment as God's will, Moses made it a virtue. People would be obedient out of fear of God. To be “God fearing” is a virtue in the Abrahamic religions unto this day.

Fear is the very lowest reason to worship God. May we all pray for those who need to be made to fear before they find a reason to worship God in all its forms, and by all its names. May we pray for all those who need any reasons at all?

Yet it remains a major tenet of the three Abrahamic religions. At that time the fear of God translated into acts God would take against someone in this life. The concept in subsequent (Christian,) versions became that God would take acts against someone in the afterlife, and this condemnation was for eternity. Neither of these propositions has made followers behave much better. In today's world many so called ‘holy' religious leaders teach their followers that God will reward them for the wanton killing of their fellow man. Imagine! Killing earns eternal grace from God! Beware the devil quoting scripture. It seems some virtues come too late for the learning even now.

Moses gives them the laws. Some of these become enshrined as “the Ten Commandments.” The modern world would deem these “the Ten Ethics.” How mere ethics became holy is another of history's mysteries. One doesn't need to be religious in order to follow any one of them except the first. “ There shall be no other Gods before me!” Is this an echo of Akhenaton's vision; meaning ‘I am the one and only original Creator, the source of all that is ?' Or is it saying that the Lord God Jehovah is first among the many other gods being worshiped? Leave that one for the rabbis. Many atheists meanwhile, substitute ethics in lieu of worship. Folkways, morays, and ethics against murder, theft, adultery, lying, etc. have been the common practice of mankind the world over in all societies regardless of their location. But somehow Moses thought it necessary to codify them formally and call them the Law of God.

The search for the “promised land” takes some 40 years in the wilderness of the deserts. During which time Moses continually has to deal with dissidents who question ever leaving Egypt ( they had it right,) and balk at the new order Moses is crafting. Moses ( and Jehovah as well ) call the Jews "stiff necked" (unyielding, stubborn, incorrigible, obstinate.)) and "froward". ( Disobediant, intractible, perverse.) These are hardly accolades from an admirer. Along the way the Israelites fight and win many battles but for some unstated reason never settle in conquered land.

Then by some stroke of luck the Jews find themselves looking down on a fertile, well watered valley. Moses doesn't concern himself with the fact that it has already been civilized, owned, and occupied by others for hundreds of years. The key thing is that it is north of the Jordan River. He points them to it. There is the promised land, he says, adding that he is not to be allowed to continue on with them. He forbids them to migrate south of the Jordan in perpetuity, thus insuring they will never return to Egypt, his main goal.

Essentially, Moses had performed his task well. His was a duty and not a calling. He had led the Jews out of Egypt without violence. He had given them their basic laws, authored the first five books of what is now called ‘the old testament,' gave them a written language, and kept these people out of Egypt for more than two generations. There were none left to remember the land of milk and honey, none left that had any reason to want to return to Egypt. Moses had in actuality made history conform to the Abrahamic legend. His people very naturally believed themselves to be the fulfillment of this word. Moses had delivered them from captivity to freedom, and fulfilled prophecy. The promised land was theirs. But they never thanked Pharaoh for seeing to it that they got this. He is still seen as one of their historic enemies to this day.

One of the greatest lessons that can possibly be learned is lost here. And that lesson is that with great frequency, a greater good arises from what is first deemed to be only avenues of adversity. Without Egypt there would be no Israel.

As depicted in Deuteronomy, the Lord commands Moses to go and die alone in the land of Moab as punishment for a former transgression. Apparently Moses' great work counts for nothing with the unforgiving Lord God Jehovah. Chapter 34 verses 5 & 6 then states “ So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.” And “ And he ( who the he is is not given,) buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Beth-pe-or: but no man knoweth of his sepulcher unto this day.”

Insofar as it is not possible for a deceased to witness future history one must question just who is doing the telling at this point. It seems Moses authored the story and then enacted it, the button up being that none would ever find his tomb, thus guaranteeing no one would ever look.

First; death is seen as punishment, second; the un-named man who buried him must have known of the location, third; if God holds a death grudge against Moses, what chance does anyone else have of finding grace in the sight of the Lord God Jehovah? If Moses for all his magnificent work is condemned by God, the message is that divine grace is not possible. It marks a religion devoid of hope or spiritual ambition. One for whom fear of divine punishment is a higher virtue than pure love of God without reason.

Moses was an initiate of the Mystery School at Giza. He had done his work. The Israelites were gone from Egypt permanently. All his tasks were completed. He had earned his rest. Neither a true Egyptian, nor a true Jew, he fabricated an exit strategy and returned to the cloistered walls of the Mystery School at Giza.

His tomb is most likely on the Giza Plateau 

While this scenario radically overturns the dogmatic tenets of more than one religion, it is uncontradicted by any known facts. As such it stands on equal footing with its older and more accepted counterparts.

Most of the facts regarding the history of civilized man were destroyed by the burning of the libraries in Alexandria. Some of their content, as well as a library greater than the Vatican's, going back 10,000 years reposes within Cheops. When we are able to re-access those contents, we will find many facts which contradict modern assumptions. The true story of the Jews in Egypt will be among them. Until then one story is as good as another.

NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT

THE TIME TO RE-OPEN CHEOPS IS NOW!

Footnote: Modern History According to the Israelites

The teaching of the 'Holocaust', that is, the Nazi program to eradicate all Jews in conquered territory, is a legal requirement in most U.S. school systems. The figure 6,000,000 Jews has become enshrined in modern history. But the true facts are, and the whole truth is, that 12,000,000 people were systematically slaughtered by the Nazis. Fully half of the victims were not Jewish. What is evident is that when Jews do the counting, only Jews will be counted.

This is a crime against history of the first order. The memory of the other 6,000,000 innocent souls has effectively been expunged from history. Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Gypsies, the lame, the crippled, the mentally deficient, homosexuals, those considered to be of mongrelized race, as well as a spectrum of political dissidents and intellectuals has been officially forgotten. There are no monuments, no plaques, no shrines, no cemetaries, no public parks, no museums to record their place in history. They are the officially forgotten 6,000,000. And for whatever reasons, all the sympathy has been captured and exploited by the Jews on a proprietary basis. And exploit it they have. They have been able to found a religious state supported by the sympathy of western nations.

And if this can happen in modern times, it certainly could have happened in ancient times. The leopard has not change its spots. This modern bastardization of recent history justifies the questioning of the facts surrounding the story contained in the Pentateuch. The truth is that the whole of the truth is not important as far as the Jews are concerned.

Until such time as Jewish leaders acknowledge this moral travesty of the truth, and set the record straight while it is still possible, there is no reason to believe a thing they have said from then to now. There is also no reason to offer sympathy to a race which has no sympathy for others.

Beauty is as beauty does

And the face of Israel is mightily ugly
