Tutankhamon
Lives
© M7C 2013
Wadjetism: (My religion):
“May
you live, O Horus, reborn with strength, Lord of the Two Goddesses of Upper and
Lower Egypt, who appeases Egypt, the Golden Horus, the Lord of Crowns who
offers to the Gods; King of Egypt, Nebkheperura, given Life.
“May your Spirit live, and may you
spend millions of years O Lover of Thebes, seated with your face to the
Northern Wind, your eyes beholding happiness.”
[From the White Lotus Grail Cup in KV62, Tomb
of Tutankhamon]
Tutankhamon,
Son of Ra, was the Savior of Ancient Egypt.
His step-father Akhenaton
attempted to replace the standard religion of the times with a self-deified
Monotheism, the worship of One God instead of many. Akhenaton appears to be passive, but recent
excavations show the people who built his new city were not cared for well, and
suffered from hard labor. So when
Tutankhamon came to power, the people rallied around him to end the nightmare
of Atonist Monotheism. Had Tutankhamon
not saved Egypt from this plight, he would have been Egypt’s Last Pharaoh.
During
Tutankhamon’s reign, his father Smenkhkara’s
tomb was violated by angry mobs. So
elements from this tomb were saved for Tutankhamon’s future tomb; this included
the 2nd coffin, some Canopic Jars and mini-coffins, and the tomb
itself (KV62). Smenkhkare was later
interred in a female coffin, probably from a relative, and stored in a small
tomb. Akhenaton’s mummy was destroyed by
angry mobs. The mobs represented a Civil
War, and this time period lasted about 3 years, until Tut was age 12. When Tut was 12 he moved the Capital City to
Mennofer to the North, to oversee the invasion of Syria; then later to Thebes
(Luxor).
Tut was
educated in Pharaonic affairs for the 3 year time period; this included
Government (Laws), Military training, religion & magic, and
Philosophy. The Temples were abandoned
under Akhenaton, its statues defaced and the plural form of “Gods” hacked out
on the monuments, and temple courtyards were overgrown with weeds. To pay for repairs, Tut needed money; the
coffers were empty because Akhenaton spent most of it on his new city, and on
celebratory festivals. So Tut prepared
his military to invade Syria, and in doing so he raided parts of Syria to extract Tribute (tax) from them. The Syrians were in part under the influence
of the Mitanni, whom were allies of Egypt before Akhenaton came to power. Akhenaton and his father Amonhotep Nebmaatra
were mostly peaceful in foreign affairs, so their neighbors moved the boundary
stones often. This meant surrounding
nations would advance onto Egyptian territory when a leader was seen as weak or
not concerned with foreign affairs. Tut
conquered parts of Syria, as indicated on a tomb wall belonging to his Viceroy,
and exacted tribute tax from them. This
included money (gold or grain), precious stones and oils, and temple slaves
(employees).
Then Tut
moved the Capital south to Luxor to be closer to both Karnak’s Temple of
AmonRa, and to invade Nubia for more
money. Tut restored the major temples
first, and then focused on the lesser ones.
He rebuilt courtyards, pylons, pillars, and statues of the gods – using
his own face on most of the faceless statuary.
This helped his own image endure without his name being known. He built solid gold idols for the Temples,
some extending in length when compared to standard sizes. He hired new priests, gave them salaries and
daily temple offerings from the Citizens, and wrote edicts (laws) daily. Because he already had a tomb (inherited)
building a new one was unnecessary, so he focused on his work instead.
Though Tut
had money, his economy was cash-poor. In
his tomb he had 2 life size wooden statues painted black – not for racial
reasons as moderns suggest – but in imitation of Ebony Wood, a luxury item imported from Nubia. The Ebony Senet game in his tomb may have
been a gift from Nubia (tribute).
Gold-plated wood statues in his tomb are in imitation of solid gold ones
found in temples.
The Temple was a basic unit
of Government, so building them was important.
It served as a library, a grain bank, a college, a religious sanctuary,
a theater, an Astronomical observatory, and a magical device. Written inscriptions helped protect Egypt
from enemies once read.
Because Tut wanted to
restore Polytheism, any indication of Monotheism was frowned upon by his
reforms. He found a priestess whom he
could trust with his knowledge once. Tut
told her that this was not his first life, once past life memory occurred to
him during his reforms and travels across Egypt. She believed in him, and promoted worship of Tutankhamon as Osiris. When he discovered this, he chose to commit
suicide [via Asp] to prevent his
being worshiped in the manner of Aton-Ra (Amonhotep and Akhenaton were
worshiped as God separately, so Tut did not want a relapse of this belief
system). So his death was “sudden and
unexpected.” That he was reborn
indicates he was not worried about life and death cycles; he could always
return to Earth again in a future body.
Look at the inscription on the inner golden shrine found in his
tomb.
“I am yesterday and I know tomorrow; who is
this? Yesterday I was Osiris, and
tomorrow I am Ra.”
Tut’s next life was Ramses
2. Osiris was later worshiped in the
next Dynasty. Tutankhamon had other
contributing factors to his decision, including Malaria fevers, a leg injury (post mortem injury sustained when the
coffins were damaged, or an accident), and the Hittite incursion in the
Nile Delta. Peace was never safe around him; near his death his Queen wrote to
the Hittites to secure a peace treaty by marrying one of their princes; and in
1974 CE a situation developed around Egypt, Israel, USSR and USA involving his
tomb items. The 2011 “Arab Spring” Revolution
happened while archaeologists searched for his Queen’s tomb, and someone used
his silver trumpet (the one that
magically causes wars) in the Cairo Museum.
Tut’s mummified remains were disturbed during the process by thieves looking for a
Magical Green Stone in the shape of a Heart Scarab amulet. The Scarab was from a Meteorite so it was
sacred (one of these was found in a
pendant thought originally to be of Chalcedony). So the thieves violated his mummy, ripped
open the chest searching for the Scarab.
The Scarab would be used in a ritual to resurrect the mummy. When the authorities found his mummy they
tried to repair the damage, added more oils to stop decay, folded his arms
across the chest and inserted a replacement Scarab made of black resin. When the mummy was placed into the coffins,
one of the coffins was too long so the priests shortened it. And when the coffins were inserted into the
Sarcophagus, the lid fell and broke. The
golden shrines also were not made correctly, and so were pieced together as
best as possible in the given short time of preparations. The tomb was robbed once while the repairs
were being made, then the entrance was buried to prevent future break-ins. Whatever protective
magic was added to the tomb continues to work up to the Present Age.
Because Tut restored the Polytheist religion, the Gods were on his side, so they now protect his remains from being violated, and go about destroying anyone who threatens him. Because
moderns do not believe in the old Gods now, they believe instead in a “Curse of
Tutankhamon.” The Gods are shown on
his stone Sarcophagus, on the mummy cases, the Canopic Chest, and the tomb
walls.

Standard Morning Prayer:
“Pharaoh Nebkheperura arises before
you, and breaks open the seal, undoes the bolt and opens the iron lock on your
shrine, every morning before your Eye beckons over the horizon of Kheper. Your father, the Earth, is approached in the
morning while your mother, the Cosmos, is approached in the evening; both are
given offerings of bread, wine, fruit, cloth and incense daily in their abode
of the Temple. Pharaoh cleans your holy
image with Natron water and condensed soap, rubs it with essential oils and
perfumes, and dries it with Egyptian cotton towels. Pharaoh burns fragrant incense and disperses
libations of sacred water before you; your Ka rejoices at his presence.
“O AmonRa, watch over us and be at
peace. Your family is happy and content;
the economy is active and secure by your presence. Many a surplus of revenue occurs because of
your benevolence, O AmonRa, God of the Poor, God of Wealth, & God of
Economics. Your daughter, Maat, is content
with the peoples’ devotion to you, O Eye of God; her power causes Justice, Truth,
Honesty, and Fairness to dwell in the hearts of the people.
“All the Gods rejoice in your
presence, O AmonRa; the wind blows to acknowledge the pious when they call your
name, and the Sun breaks through the clouds to bring its light when goodness triumphs
over evil; or justice over injustice.
“May our family and friends share your
benevolence and wisdom O AmonRa; we ask this in the name of Pharaoh Nebkheperura,
justified and ever living; O AmonRa.”
A Standard Greeting to AmonRa:
“Hail O Eye of God, O Giver of Light
and Air, propeller of wind and giver of solar energy. You see into peoples’ hearts and know what
deeds they have done. You judge them
fairly with your fingers; you weigh their souls according to their density, the
light go onto Heaven, the heavy fall into the Abyss.
“O AmonRa, protect my body as I
travel; protect my family with your benevolent power over the elements; protect
my home, pets and possessions from enemies, from vandals or thieves, from
disaster or harm. O AmonRa, protect my
friends when they travel, and help them when they are sick or injured. I ask of this in your holy name of Amen-Ra; O
AmonRa.”
A Prayer when you are Afraid:
“Hail AmonRa, the Mighty Divine
Warrior, he who slew the Dragon Apophis during the Eclipse, and carved up his
serpent corpse to fashion the world. May
my enemies likewise become One with the fallen Dragon and share his fate. O AmonRa, King of the Gods, I praise you.”
Other Prayers:
The
Lord of Ra (main prayer):

Nebkheperura, giver of life; May your Ka live and may you spend millions of
years, O lover of Waset (Thebes), sitting with your face to the North Wind,
your eyes beholding peace and happiness, forever.”
The
Lord of the West (common prayer):
“Homage to you, O Osiris-Ra, God of
the Rebirth of Souls, who is everlasting, beloved of Isis & King of
Duat. I have conquered your enemies;
their souls are under your footstool and are powerless. Rise up O Osiris-Ra,
and rule the living once more.”
The
Lord of the Abyss (companion prayer):
“A divine offering to Anub (Anubis),
lord of physicians, Lord of the Night, keeper of the divine seal of Unnefer,
ever-living in Ma’at forever. Says Tutankhamon:
‘I am a just and noble Sovereign, one who
writes fair laws and punishes the guilty who transgress. I have ruled for a short time, though my
deeds outweigh my weight on the Scales of the Double Truths. I swallow peace with victory, dine on truth and
order in the midst of strife. I made
offerings to those Netru whose temples and priesthood I restored. I created the damaged faces of the Netru in
my divine image, for I am a Neter upon the Earth, just as Horus is when he
becomes Pharaoh.’”
The
Lord of Sunrise (common prayer):
“Hail Kheper, he who rises in the
East, O Orb of Light that showers the fields with love every morning. Flowers greet you with their smiles, birds
chirp their welcome to you, and cats yawn in contemplation of your greatness O
Lord of Light. May the morning pass by
without incident, may light overcome darkness.”
