A religion of death, yet far superior to that of islam, who, one wonders, haven’t yet destroyed these kafir monuments, as is their usual ilk.
The Muslim Brotherhood has threatened to!
The Islamic occupation of Egypt at various time have had a tolerate (mostly because we’ve forgotten our history!) - hate relationship with Egypt’s past. The modern West is who taught them their history!
Actually the Egyptian ‘religion’ was focused on the afterlife - it was not all dire and gloomy worship of death, but a new life filled with hope, joy, love, walking beside the eternal Gods (which were not seen as personalities, but as aspects/concepts/principles - its difficult to make their concept clear). Their ‘religion’ (they had no such word, by the way) was far closer to modern Christianity then many realize.
All of a person’s life (where every aspect of daily life was seen as symbolic) was focused on doing good in the eyes of the Gods that they may be judged well and be allowed to pass on, else they would be called ‘the evil dead’, have their heads cut off, and then be stood their shoulders until they were devoured.
This way of life was pretty much true for most of the period from Old Kingdom circa 3,500 BC (or as wiki would have it - 2686 BC) to the beginning of the New Kingdom circa 1,570 BC. After that they moved away from the old ways which were mostly forgotten by that time anyway.
When reading about Ancient Egypt realize that almost everything written is wrong. This is because there are reputation that can only be kept by not asking questions and going along with the conscientious thinking so prevalent in modern Egyptology. Modern Egypt is heavily vested in the prevailing image due to its utter dependence on the tourist trade.
