The Ankh, the one God, the Pyramid

I implore any who may share their info, could someone help me with finding info on these questions 3?

1) Anyone out there know what the Ankh is the symbol of? Why it appears on the Knights Templar crest?

2) What era was monotheism introduced into Egypt? What event
(possibly a supernovae) inspired their Ra worship?

3) What role the pyramid had to do with the ancient mystery schools?

1) Anyone out there know what the Ankh is the symbol of? Why it appears on the Knights Templar crest?

It's the ancient Egyptian symbol for life. (Egyptologist's page on the ankh):
www.ancient-egypt.org...

It does NOT appear on the crest of the original (true) Knights Templar. They were Christian. They wore the cross:
www.ordotempli.org...

2) What era was monotheism introduced into Egypt?

That would be the Pharoh Akenaten. 1350 BC or so.
ancienthistory.about.com...

What event (possibly a supernovae) inspired their Ra worship?

Akenaten said "This is your supreme god. Quit worshipping those others." It appears to have been his own idea. (see links above)

3) What role the pyramid had to do with the ancient mystery schools?

None.

Mystery schools are strictly Greek. That's like asking "what role the statue of liberty has to do with the University of Sydney, Australia."



Now... in the late 1800's, there was a spiritualist revival and all sorts of people began "channeling" information. Discoveries and digs in Egypt excited the popular mind and a lot of people came forward with "spirit guides" and other things that "told them information" about the way things were.

It's actually a load of hoo-ha. The OTO and others had Isis worship, but it certainly bore no resemblance to that practiced in ancient Egypt (there was no way of really knowing this until later in the 1900's.) Much of the work was based on Budge's translations of the hieroglyphics -- which were quite wrong. People believed Budge, though (he was sort of the P.T. Barnum of Egyptology) and a lot of ceremonies and rites were based on his information.

Today, no Egyptologist uses Budge as a source or reference.

The Western Mystery School Tradition doesn't bear any resemblance to the original ones, either. The original ones died out as Greece declined and the population became Christian. At this point, all that is truly left of the real thing are references in scrolls in museums... and they didn't record everything. Just the generalities.

Some people say that the christian cross symbol is inspired from the egyptian ANKH symbol. There are some documents proving that the romans used to crucify robbers on a cross with a form of a X.
The ANKH symbol is an anchor. It's the symbol of life on earth.



Akenaten, was a pharao poet and also prophet, he declared that he had a message from the ALMIGHTY GOD : ATEN-RA also called ATEN. He was the first pharao to propose the idea of a unique God.

The pyramids are older than akenaten, they have a solar symbolism, but they was still considered as antiquities when akenaten ruled egypt.

1) Planet - D'Ankhiar.
Constellation - Scorpio
Female Symbol
Stands for Mother Planet
Humans and Nephalim were seeded there

2)

A) 1627 BC to 1588 BC
Eruption of Thera
Abraham, Nefertiti (Sarah or Sara), Isaac, Hagar

B) Akhenaten (Nefertiti's "husband")initiated Sun Worship. This laid the foundation for monotheistic worship of Howah, the pig god, aka Yahwah. This was brought about at the beginning of the last cometary cycle. We are now at the end of the last cometary cycle. It was the foundation for the monotheistic worship we see today. Cycle is around 3,600 years. 1600 B.C. to 2000 A.D. (give or take)

3) A lot!

Symbolism: 2d pyramid is triangle. Look for triangle symbolism today. Triangle with serpent, eye, etc.

Energy: Capture of cosmic energy which was then used for power, transport, healing, mind control, climate control, etc. Basically, the pyramids were used to store and transfer energy. They were not build by Egyptians. They were built by Atlanteans. Same with the large crystals (biggest one is in the bermuda triangle and is 5,000 feet tall and is mostly buried).

The pyramids also were situated on magnetic points of focus. They also symbolized the belt of Orion. If one was to use the big one as the prime meridian they could link such things as Stonehedge, Kukulkan, El Kula, Nazca Lines, and other ancient structures. But the Prime Meridian was moved to obscure the knowledge that is sitting around for anyone to find. Where is the Prime Meridian today? 31 deg 08 min 0.8 sec away.

The ancient mystery schools (A.A. After Atlantis) were simply trying to find the mysteries of the pyramids. Some did and that knowledge still extends to today.

Good luck on your quest.

EDIT: Masons have some of this pyramidal knowledge. But you have to turn to Page 33.

thanks .... Byrd & uIVIa


on #3--> the mystery schools etc/ AtlantianAegyptian Pryamids....

...you might want to investigate TSADI
(after that Masons' mention. of... page 33)

Interesting...

There are 22 letters in the Hebrew Alphabet but the Masoretic Text introduces final letters for Kaph, Mem, Nun, Pe, and Tsadi.

Tsadi = 90
Throne chair. Messiah on throne in Heaven.

Tsadi = Hebrew Letter Final

Somewhat related link...
www.sas.upenn.edu...

90 / 10 = 9 or (3x3) 33

360 degrees in a circle / 90 = 4
Which would look like a cross in a circle. Maltese/Celtic? Rosy Cross?

But, Messiah on throne in Heaven before "page 33"? Messiah sits on throne before the earthly work is completed?

This is what I'm coming up with...

Patch of Zion
Virgin of Candelaria
Ancient Order of Essenes
Rosslyn Chapel
Underground Templars
Base of the Sphinx
Secret of Levitation
Kaballah
Crystal Skull
Baphomet - Holder of the Trent

Whew. I need to get my Alexandria Library card updated.

You sure you want the answers?

The ankh, was a stick figure. Looks alot like todays stereo typical alien right?
What if...it is a stick figure alien.

Often the simplest anwser is the correct one.

I just started a similar thread

based on Hopi writings

www.abovetopsecret.com...

(well maybe not exactly similar, but I have been linking many ancient civilizations to 'The Eye' and Orion Belt)

"Mystery schools are strictly Greek"

No sir. Many say that Khemet in itself was practically a Mystery School(Didn't you actually say that?). Whether that's an exageration or not; of course there were Mystery Schools in Kemet! Also in Arabia, India, Babylon, Canaan/Palestine and Kush(which at one time spread over all those areas).

An initiate of those ancient mystery schools and some modern, would tell you that the Kemetians recognized only ONE before Akhenaten's Grandma was born.
The Kemetian Neteru("gods") only represent specific attributes or symbolisms and weren't taken at face value. Although; many of them could be based on people who actually existed(Tehuti/Thoth for example).

I need to do the knowledge on Ra more, before I speak anymore.

Nope. I know better, since I was studying the Khemet and their religion at one time:

Ehh... weak agreement on this. However, that philosophy was known by everyone and wasn't part of any "mystery school." Everyone knew what the Names were ... this wasn't secret information... while there were rites and rituals performed only by certain classes (or the Pharoh and his or her family), this wasn't the equivalent of a "mystery school."
www.kemet.org...


Here's one of those "college term papers for sale" sites with an accepted (got an A or some such) term paper on mystery schools:
www.collegetermpapers.com...

It says pretty much what I've said all along -- that the mystery schools are a Greek (only) phenomina, and this paper has a bibliography and so forth with source quotes for validity.
