Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts - The Keys to Eternity Before The Book of the Dead

Between the monumental Pyramids of Giza and the beautifully illustrated Book of the Dead, a religious revolution took place. For the first time in human history detailed accounts of the afterlife and the rituals to transcend death first appear engraved in the twilight of the Old Kingdom. Known as the Pyramid texts, these elaborate rituals, spells and incantations detail how the Soul can be made immortal, by traveling with the Divine Sun through the night, reborn in Osiris, before being emerging between the thighs of the Sky Goddess Nut. The Pyramid texts represent the earliest and most sustained literature on the Afterlife and are among the oldest religious literature in the world.

'Life, Prosperity and Health' to you too Dr Sledge. This was an excellent presentation of a very challenging collection of concepts from an era far, far removed from ours. I've been an amateur Egyptologist for over forty years and I'm still learning. In a discussion once I remember telling an elderly Christian friend of mine about the famous 'Cannibal Hymn' from The Pyramid Texts where Unas ritually slaughters, cooks and eats the bodies and the spirits of the gods. "Oh, like the eucharist...", was her surprised reaction. Excellent episode, Many thanks.

Here's a ritual comment spell to speed your video along the path of the KZbin algorithm into internet immortality. (KZbin's logo is red-that can't be a coincidence!) Thanks also for dispelling from my mind this popular notion of the Egyptians as a culture obsessed with death. However, I'm a bit disappointed there weren't any Stargate or ancient spaceship jokes when talking about the pyramids as conduits for launching the recently deceased into the stars. (Or maybe there were, and I just missed them.) Not that your jokes weren't still very funny, per usual. Your humor is always on point. Thank you again.

[@dand1253]

I remember an article that came out perhaps half a year back, which proposed a new interpretation of mummification itself. The hypothesis was that one of the supernatural purposes of the mummification process was to transform (or translate) the _khet_ of the deceased, converting it into "a sort of divine statue" that their _Akh_ would use as their new corpus in Aaru. In that case, the fully-mummified remains would be interred more as another treasured possession of the departed than as a load-bearing column in the technological structure; even if it were to be destroyed at some later date, the _Akh_ would not suffer for it.

[@TheEsotericaChannel]

I strongly suspect that these series changed a great deal over the 4,000 years of Egyptian civilization. Even the shift from the Giza mortuary monuments to the pyramid texts, which is only a few hundred years later, is a substantial theological shift. Of course a thousand years later in the book of coming forth by day you have the whole weighing of the heart scene which never occurs really at all in the pyramid text - so it's obvious that there is an enormous amount of religious dynamism through Egyptian history

[@okasa64]

Pythagoras lived from about 570 BC through 500 BC. In 570 BC there was an Egyptian civil war involving Pharaoh Apries (reigned 589-570 BC). He employed 30,000 Greek mercenaries but lost the war. The victor became Pharaoh Amasis II (reigned 570-526 BC). Pharaoh Amasis II was not crazy about Greek mercenary armies roaming around Egypt, so he set up a military encampment, Naucratis, that all Greeks in Egypt were confined to. The encampment was nicely situated on a tributary to the Nile delta, so that the Greeks could easily get to the Mediterranean. This resulted in a robust trade network centered in Naucratis. Egyptians sent grain, linen and papyrus to Greece, while in return the Greeks sent silver, timber, olive oil, and wine. It is probably impossible to say exactly which philosophical ideas from Egypt influenced Greek thinking, (or visa versa) but the conditions were there for such exchanges of ideas around the time of Pythagoras.

[@jessecatrainham6957]

I just picked up a copy of JP Allen's translation of the Pyramid texts and no joke, it is sometimes very obscure and inscrutable... but there are passages of exceptional power and beauty that also compel me to keep reading and learning. I'm also working with his Middle Egyptian textbook to get a rudimentary understanding of heiroglyphics and the language, hoping eventually to peel back just a little more of that obscuring veil for a more scholarly grasp of the material.

People often associate the Ancient Egyptians with other ancient cultures, such as those of the Greeks, Romans, and Persians: but, when the Giza Pyramids were built, the Greek of the Hellenes, the Latin of the Romans, and the ancestor of both the Persian of the Achaemenids along with the Sanskrit of the Vedas, were all only dialects, and probably still mutually-intelligible, of one original language. That's how old Egypt is.

The latter are discussed so little, it would be interesting to see them get a bit more attention! ;) Have you ever read or seen Jeremy Naydler's work on these texts? The title of his book puts me off a bit, but the book itself has some interesting ideas in it, and ones that I think are viable. Ignoring the "shamanism" of the title, what he's arguing (in case you haven't read it!) is that the various texts would have been used as a practice while the pharaoh was still alive, in essence like the Orphic lamellae, or the Tibetan "Book of the Dead" (also not a good title!), where one essentially rehearses what will happen in an initiatory fashion before one dies, and then the ritual is performed with the same pronouncements, and the writings remain on the walls of the akhification chambers to constantly remind the Akh (or the coming-and-going Ba) of the process. Anyway, that makes it very interesting, because it implies that even if one got it "right" once, at death, one might not always get it right after that; or, indeed, if one didn't get it right the first time at one's initial death, one could perhaps keep trying, and be aided with this hieroglyphic crib sheet, as it were, that surrounds one in the akhification chambers and structures. Your VR idea is a great one, and I wish that was something which could be done for a lot of things, including what we can piece together of the Eleusinian Mysteries, for example. But, as I'm sure those who have the best access to make such things would probably say: why do that when you can do a better graphics rehash of Mortal Kombat? :( Also: did you ever see the Sesame Street special "Don't Eat the Pictures!"? If not, you'd be highly amused by it...! If you haven't, the only enticement you should need is the phrase "James Mason as Osiris"...!?! ;)

Nik Turner, of Hawkwind fame, has a solo album out called "Xitintoday." It is all about Egyptian cosmology/theology and legend has it that the primary instrument, the flute, was recorded with Nik lying within a long empty sarcophagus giving the flute its rather unique reverb. The album's cd release has a nearly half hour long flute solo which would not have fit in a vinyl album but is too short to be an album on its own. The album would be the ideal accompaniment to this video. Highly recommended.

You shall lead the perfect ones and govern the westerners, for you are an akh of great strength who lands for yourself at the causeway to every place you wish to be.
