Jeremiah was a bullfrog.
Not even. IIRC Osiris was the main god of the Egyptian pantheonRa was never seen as the only true god or almighty. Just the main god of a pantheon.

I wonder what will happen when I and my wife pass on, worrisome.
That's all Stargate Sci Fi. To the Egyptians Egypt was the gift of the Nile. They also studied the stars and had intellect mixed in with superstition. They had some real technology mixed in with useless magic, too. At first there were two Egypts, an upper and lower. These were united early on by the pharoah Narmer by means of the ultimate con. The people made him a god, a relative of the gods. From then on for about 3000 years the pharoahs were considered to be a force of nature. They had a grand time, and their hand was always against their brother. Battle was their way of life and oppression was their virtue. Then came Moses.Once upon a time the Sun was worshipped as the true and only `god`.
And before that a big brother slapped his little brother's face, and that's why we have twelve constellations instead of thirteen?hey Brick,
I said: "Once upon a time..." even before Egypt and possibly Ra.
And " from that `god`..." came Ra and others. So be it !
Yeah??It was a song
Yes.hey Jumi…...you really think ?
There's no proof otherwise. There are quite a lot of good books on Egyptology.How do you know?
Aten is not Ra.Not quite true, the god of Ra-Horus-Aten was elevated to monotheistic (or at least monolatric) status for an generation, before the orthodox polytheistic priests took control once more and tried to wipe all trace of the heretical Pharaoh Akhenaten from existence.
Monuments to the dead are only for the living. Wherever the dead are, they are much removed and untouched by memorials.
You are rooted in modern day western thinking. Read up on the Egyptian afterlife.
If the pyramids (and tombs in the valley of kings and valley of queens) were built for the living, why were they guarded and entry to the area forbidden?
They were built to assuage the fears and bolster the claims of the living. They had no effect on the dead.
