Building on Plato’s Theory of the Forms, Aristotle developed the theory of The Unmoved
Mover, which is a direct teaching from Memphite Theology in Ancient Egypt. Among his works are De
Anima, Nicomachean Ethics and Metaphysics.

Just as the
Greeks adopted The Illiad and The Odyssey, the Romans enthusiastically embraced The Aeneid as their
national epic. Vergil or Virgil (70-19 B.C.E.) was a Roman poet who wrote The Aeneid in the Latin
language.139 The Aeneid is actually a story that was written in the same form as The Odyssey and The Illiad
of the Greek writer Homer. It was widely distributed and read throughout the Roman Empire.

similar sentiment to the one expressed above is felt by other scholars of Indology, such as in the

Certain Temples, such as the Temple of Hetheru at Denderah and the

we soon realize that the science of geometry was well
known in Ancient Egypt, so well known, in fact, that monumental sculpture and architecture were created
with geometric patterns. This holds true not just for the Dynastic Period architecture, but it is particularly
evident in the architecture which is universally and self evidently Pre-Dynastic. There are several periods
of Ancient Egyptian architecture. Perhaps the most popular and familiar is the New Kingdom architecture.

Further, the value of ɥ (= 3.16049), used in Egypt's New Kingdom under
the Pharaoh Ahmose (ca. 1540-1515 B.C.E.), is exactly the same as the one given in the
relatively late-Mdnava Sulbasutra. What is more, it is calculated in precisely the same
way: as 4 • (8/9)2

The
Ancient Egyptian origin of unit fractions was demonstrated by the work of Richard J. Gillings, in his book
Mathematics in the Time of the Pharaohs. Gillings showed the use of fractions which had an ancient
religious origin. The Eye of Heru (Horus) is one of the most ancient Ancient Egyptian icons. It is derived
from the Pre-Dynastic era at the time of the commencement of Ancient Egyptian history. It is the main
symbol of Heru, who is recognized as the first divinity worshipped in Egypt. One of his forms is the Great
Sphinx at Giza, which has been extensively discussed throughout this volume. It is important to
understand the mysticism of the Eye in Ancient Egyptian myth in order to appreciate the antiquity of the
symbol of the Eye and how intertwined it is with Kamitan culture. The Eye of Heru represents divine
consciousness embodied in a perfected (Enlightened) human being. Therefore, the Per-aah’s (Pharaohs)
were regarded as the embodiment of the Divine on earth. They were in effect, the Eye incarnate, and thus
wielded the power of the Divine. This teaching goes back to the myth of Asar (Osiris), known as the
Asarian Resurrection. This myth was the most popular, universally known religious teaching from the Pre-
Dynastic age to the close of the Ancient Egyptian Dynastic Period. The Eye of Heru and the Ankh are two
of the most recognizable symbols of Ancient Egypt.

Well may we express our admiration of the wonderful architecture of the Egyptian
Temples of Karnak and Luxor, at the grandeur and the immensity of the Pyramids and at
the construction of their magnificent monuments. Well may we wonder at the
government and the economics of a country extending nearly a thousand miles from
north to south through which ran the longest river of the then-known world. And well
may we marvel at the Egyptians' design of extensive irrigation canals, at their erection of
great storage granaries, at the organization of their armies, the building of seagoing ships,
the levying and collection of taxes, and at all the thought and effort concomitant with the
proper organization of a civilization that existed successfully, virtually unchanged, for
centuries longer than that of any other nation in recorded history.”
----
the story of Asar, Aset and the struggle of Heru was well
known. It was the most popular among myths all over the ancient world, including Asia Minor, Africa,
Greece and later throughout the Roman Empire.
----
The Battle of Heru (Horus) and Set
According to tradition, Asar (Osiris) and Ast (Isis) were the first King and Queen of Ancient Egypt.
They taught the people agriculture, established a code of laws and taught all to worship the gods and
goddesses as well as the Supreme Being, in the form of Ra. Asar traveled all over the world, including
Africa, Asia (India) and Europe. He and Aset were successful and loved by the masses. Asar’s brother,
Set, was jealous and killed Asar. Asar’s son, Heru, challenged Set for the throne. The battle between Heru
and Set took many twists, sometimes one seeming to get the upper hand and sometimes the other, yet
neither one gaining a clear advantage in order to decisively win. At one point Aset tried to help Heru by
catching Set, but due to the pity and compassion she felt towards him she set him free. In a passionate
rage Heru cut off her head and went off by himself in a frustrated state. Even Heru is susceptible to
passion which leads to performing deeds that one later regrets. Set found Heru and gouged out Heru's
eyes. During this time Heru was overpowered by the evil of Set. He became blinded to truth (as signified
by the loss of his eyes) and thus, was unable to do battle with Set . His power of sight was later restored
by Hetheru (goddess of passionate love, desire and fierce power), who also represents the left Eye of Ra.
She is the fire spitting, destructive power of light that dispels the darkness (blindness) of ignorance. Heru
regained the throne and unrighteousness was put down through becoming righteous. The gouging out of
the eyes by Set, who represents ignorance which tears things down (disorder and unrighteousness), means
that the ego has blinded Heru who represents aspiration and virtue. Virtue (Heru) redeems Asar, the Soul,
by following Aset (wisdom)
----
Asar (Osiris), the Avatar (Divine Incarnation) of Ancient Egypt, and founding King of
Ancient Egypt (c. 12,000 B.C.E.) establishes civilization and religion in Asia and
Europe.
"From Ethiopia, he (Osiris) passed through Arabia, bordering upon the Red Sea to as far
as India, and the remotest inhabited coasts; he built likewise many cities in India, one of
which he called Nysa, willing to have remembrance of that (Nysa) in Egypt where he was
brought up. At this Nysa in India he planted Ivy, which continues to grow there, but
nowhere else in India or around it. He left likewise many other marks of his being in
those parts, by which the latter inhabitants are induced, and do affirm, that this God was
born in India. He likewise addicted himself to the hunting of elephants, and took care to
have statues of himself in every place, as lasting monuments of his expedition."
-Recorded by Diodorus (Greek historian 100 B.C.)
----
"There are Egyptian columns as far off as NYASA, Arabia...Isis and Osiris led an army
into India, to the source of the Ganges, and as far as the Indus Ocean."
-Diodorus (Greek historian 100 B. C.)
----
Furthermore, the orders of the priests, they maintain, have much the
same position among both peoples; for all are clean who are engaged in the service of the
gods, keeping themselves shaven, like the Ethiopian priests, and having the same dress
and form of staff, which is shaped like a plough and is carried by their kings who wear
high felt hats which end in a knob in the top and are circled by the serpents which they
call asps; and this symbol appears to carry the thought that it will be the lot of those who
shall dare to attack the king to encounter death-carrying stings. Many other things are
told by them concerning their own antiquity and the colony which they sent out that
became the Egyptians, but about this there is no special need of our writing anything."
-Recorded by Diodorus (Greek historian 100 B.C

n the epic Greek work, The Odyssey, Homer writes that the Greek gods go to visit Ethiopia which is
located in two locations at opposite ends of the world geographically. Based on the statements of the other
Greek writers this can be interpreted to mean that there are Ethiopians in India (the east) as well as in
Africa, which is west of India.
“Now Neptune had gone off to the Ethiopians, who are at the world's
end, and lie in two halves, the one looking West and the other East.”
-Homer The Odyssey (Book I)
----
The Statement by Herodotus in reference to the Ethiopian (Nubian) origins of the Ancient Egyptians and
the relationship to India is supported by the Greek writer Diodorus.
"And upon his return to Greece, they gathered around and asked, "tell us about this great
land of the Blacks called Ethiopia." And Herodotus said, "There are two great Ethiopian
nations, one in Sind (India) and the other in Egypt."
-Diodorus (Greek historian 100 B.C.)
The Roman Empire acknowledges India as a part of Egypt and Ethiopia in ancient times.
"India taken as a whole, beginning from the north and embracing what of it is subject to
Persia, is a continuation of Egypt and the Ethiopians."
-The Itinerarium Alexandri (A.C.E. 345)

According to the spiritual philosophy of African
Religion as well as Indian Religion, the soul has human experiences but it is not bound by them or comes
into existence as a result of them. That is, DNA does not give rise to a soul. The soul associates with a
body in order to have human experiences. Therefore, DNA is an instrument of the Spirit, which it uses to
create the body and thereby avail itself of physical existence and experiences. According to mystical
philosophy, the soul chooses the particular world, country, and family in which to incarnate in order to
have the kind of experiences it wants to experience. This is all expressed in the physical plane through the
miracle of DNA.218

Ancient Egyptian history provides us with the descriptions of the first men and women who served as
medical doctors, some of whom were so good at their professions that they became legendary in their own
time. The earliest female doctor in historical record was named Mer-swnut – Peseshet. Imhotep was one of
the most famous doctors in Kamitan history. The name “Imhotep” means “One who comes in peace.”
Imhotep was perhaps the greatest Sage of Ancient Egypt. He lived in the Old Kingdom Period (c. 5,000-
3,500 B.C.E.). He was a legendary figure in his own time because he was a master healer (swnu-medical
doctor), royal architect, scribe, astronomer, Chief Lector Priest (Kheri-Heb), Vizier and Spiritual
Philosopher. His writings have not been discovered yet, but some historical records survive that show he
was revered by both Ancient Egyptians and foreigners alike. He was deified (canonized) and revered by all
Ancient Egyptians. In the time when Hippocrates and other ancient Greeks went to study medical science
in Ancient Egypt, they revered and worshipped Imhotep under the Greek name Aesculapius, as the god of
medical science and healing.
