Answer by The Hispanic Mechanic
Most people here are christian and they think that they are right and their biggest enemies are muslims and jews so they bash them along with the atheists…that’s why they only discuss those religions.

Ancient Egyptian Animals (British Museum Pocket Dictionaries)

Animals played a significant role in the everyday lives and religion of the people of ancient Egypt and frequently figure in Egyptian art. Many of the signs used in the hieroglyphic script are in the form of animals. Many of the Egyptian gods were identified with animals or shown in animal-headed forms, and sacred animals such as cats, ibises, bulls and even crocodiles were kept in the temple enclosures. Not all animals were admired, or useful: dangerous or venomous creatures such as crocodiles and scorpions were an ever-present hazard to ancient Egyptians living and working around the river Nile. Domestic animals such as cattle, sheep, goats and poultry were vital to ancient Egyptian agriculture, and oxen, horses and donkeys provided transport. The Egyptians admired many animals simply for their beauty or character, and kept cats, dogs, monkeys and gazelles as pets. Exotic animals such as giraffes were imported as curiosities.

DYNASTY ZERO: EGYPT Fantasy and ancient Egyptian mythology

Here is an enthralling fantasy set in a predynastic realm that Egyptologists now refer to mysteriously as ‘Dynasty Zero’ – an age of gods and demon demigods.
The Egyptians called it ‘the First Time’ – or Zep Tepi.

The ‘Dynasty Zero’ cycle first appeared as inset mythological fantasies within my ancient Egyptian thriller novels ‘The Smiting Texts’ and ‘The Ibis Apocalypse’ – and are separately presented here for fantasy adventure lovers.

 There are two stories in this fantasy cycle: “The Hunter and The
Lioness Goddess of Destruction” and “Stela Wars”

“The Hunter and The Lioness Goddess of Destruction”

Kha, a young bowman is giving Egypt’s greatest challenge since creation
- to hunt down and kill Sekhmet-Hathor, the lioness goddess of destruction. Also known as the Female Soul with two faces.  One face is the Destroyer of Humankind, the other is Goddess of love, sex and joy.

Kha rescues a mysterious survivor in the reeds of the river, a girl
named Se-she-shet. Who is this girl who now travels with the hunter as he tries to track down the lioness?

In mythology, Egypt’s sun god Ra hurled a curse upon a rebellious humankind.

In a hot rage, he despatched his avenger, the scorching Eye of Ra, a holocaust sun, in the form of the goddess Sekhmet-Hathor, to destroy them. A marauding lioness, her breath spread pestilence and plague and her claws and teeth death as she swept through Egypt in an orgy of killing. Then Ra had second thoughts and decided to halt her apocalypse.

Tricking the lioness into drinking from a lake of beer and red mud disguised as blood, Ra took this moment when the alcohol stunned her brain to transform Sekhmet from The Destroyer of Humankind
into Hathor, the Sweet One, goddess of sex, love and intoxication.

But the execration had been uttered and it was always feared that the inherently unstable agent of destruction – the Female Soul With Two Faces – would one day return to finish off what she had started, cleansing the earth.

“Stela Wars” is about the struggle of Menes, who grows to manhood
on the edge of history and myth in an age and realm before the pharaohs, called Zep Tepi, when a race of gods and semi-divine beings were said to rule the
land.

Was Menes, the Unifier, (also known to history as Narmer) such a being,
living on the fault-line between deity and humanity? 

When demon demigods seize power on the death of last god-king
Horus, they attack the Delta village where Menes lives in hiding with his
mother, not to claim him as one of their own, but to make sure he is killed and that no memory of him remains. These demon demigods are Lords of
Manifestation, with the ability to cascade their forms. This shift is so fast
that it is invisible to men, yet Menes sees it happen in a series of
fluttering-images. Born out of the licentiousness of the Neteru and their
attraction to the beauty of the daughters of humankind, the demon demigods are a distortion of everything that was god and man.

Menes discovers he too has powers, with the ability to cascade and shift
not his body but his awareness into other creatures, a flying ibis, a beetle on the ground, and so gain a tactical perspective.

Menes prepares to wrest his revenge and Egypt’s future from the usurpers
and in this his training is taken in hand by the fierce goddess Neith, Mistress of Bows and Ruler of Arrows.

Menes must grow and pass through a series of perilous challenges before
he is finally ready to meet his enemy, the demon-demigod leader Sutekh, in front of the captured city of White Walls, a battle suggested on a masterpiece in the Cairo Museum, a stone tablet called the Palette of Narmer.

Answer by Raquel
Early Egypt influenced some religious beliefs of today. Early evidence of the fiery aspect of Christendom’s hell is found in the religion of ancient Egypt. See a book called The book of the Dead, New Hyde Park, N.Y with introduction by E.A. Wallis Budge pages 144, 149, 151 and 161.
Immortality of the soul was also a belief of ancient egypt.

Hieroglyphics or the system of picture writing were used in ancient Egypt. Today scientist and mathematicians use a form of hieroglyphics to instantly translate the symbolic representations of their work.

Embalming is a practice today that has its roots in ancient Egypt.
