For The Bible Scholar

You cannot expect to understand the OT narrative without also possessing an insight on ancient Egyptian history, anymore than you can presume to attend a collegiate-level seminar without first achieving proficiency in a prerequisite intermediary curriculum. For those presently aspiring to attain this mandatory level of scholarship, the immediate content may prove to be unintelligible to you. Therefore, this particular article is more intended for the so-called Accredited & Reputable Bible Scholar. Let me, then, proceed by establishing a mutually agreed upon premise from which to build the substance of this presentation.

1. When the Pyramid Texts were inscribed, containing the spells that were hoped would guarantee eternal life, immortality of the soul was the exclusive privilege of Pharaoh only.

2. After the successful completion of the required rituals, Pharaoh was then transformed into the god Osiris, who represented Pharaoh resurrected in the afterlife.

3. But when Pharaoh was alive in this world, he was identified as the god Horus.

4. Therefore, an Osiris is actually a dead Horus whose been resurrected.

5. The god Horus was originally a lunar deity. We know this not only because of the textual evidence supporting this claim, but also because the Uadjet --- the symbolic eye to which he was associated --- was also used to denote a sum of fractions which, logically, reflect various phases of the moon. Therefore ...

6. Osiris was, likewise, originally a lunar deity.

7. After the death of the old Pharaoh-Horus, the new Horus was obligated to institute a cult for his dead predecessor, thereby assuring a continued communication between himself --- along with immediate family and closest associates --- and the deceased father. In other words, the incumbent Horus & the above mentioned parties were in the unique position of direct communication with none other than God himself. Do you agree?

That being said, let us now apply King's Theophoric Theory and analyze the interaction between the Biblical Moses and the Biblical God. Though KTT relegates the Biblical Moses to the realm of fiction, we may yet glean a more realistic insight on the God itself. That which is "existing" perpetually ("'On' The Being" | EXODUS 3:14 LXX) as divinity, is juxtaposed to that which is "born" (Msi/Moses) or "coming into being" by that state of eternal existence. The human Moses is a bio-transcendental extension of that Divine Beingness.

When the first group of Hebrew captives arrive in Egypt, the cults of at least 2 Moseses are already flourishing. For those captives who became exposed to them, it marked a complete segment of that historical experience, in comparison to the fragmented perspectives relayed in the disjointed Biblical Narrative. By conventional dating, they will have arrived in Egypt between c. 1427 and 1401, during the reign of Amenhotep II. But it will be years later --- perhaps centuries --- when it will be written that 70 of them, during a time of severe famine, and at the behest of a close relative, sought refuge in Egypt. And it will be no less than 90% fiction. For during that period when 70 foreigners were actually recorded as having been taken to the stronghold of Amen, the Biblical Joseph didn't exist. Nor did these Hebrews have to wait for the Biblical Moses to hear of The Being, for the god was already popular. In a variant of his birthname, this living Horus, responsible for their captivity, calls himself 'God And Ruler Of On'! These Hebrews will build On, perhaps both Northern and South --- the one better known as Thebes.

That particular episode of their ordeal will be conflated with the building of Pi-Raamses some 150 years later! What can explain the unrelenting longevity of a story which, by this time, has evolved into an incredible fusion of myth, romance, and historical fiction? It's the cult of Ahmose I, of course, recorded as still being propagated in the days of Ramses The Great (M8), by Followers who are no doubt increasing exponentially. And if we are to assume that Ahmose I is a manifestation of Osiris, then the High Priest of his cult during the time of Rameses II was Wenennefer. It is from the Leiden Papyri that we are informed that, in the days of Ramses The Great, 'Apiru (Hebrews) are brought in as laborers for the construction of the king's new capital city. And their quota? 2,000 bricks daily! It is here that new immigrants are first introduced to the cult & legend of Moses. And so another chapter is added to the book.

Do you agree that this is a plausible explanation thus far?
