Ancient Egyptian Holidays...

(Ancient) Egyptian Holidays:

November 26 is TutMas (the opening of Tutankhamon’s tomb in Egypt)

Tutmas is celebrated as a Festival of Tutankhamon. You may light incense, play music, and a ritual opening of a Cabinet with placement of statues of Tutankhamon on display.

This year in 2020 is the same day as Thanksgiving Day in USA. Turkeys did not exist in Egypt (they had Ostriches). Chickens were popular in the later Ptolemaic Dynasty (Cleopatra VII).

QRSTMAS (Egyptian Christmas) is celebrated over 40 days (the time it took to produce an Egyptian Mummy) starting on Winter Solstice (Dec. 20). Not to confuse this with Christmas in the so-called Christian religion, QRSTMAS is a funerary holiday, where participants visit tombs and honor the ancestral dead and their Ka Chapels (giving offerings to the Souls of the departed).

Erecting a Djed Pillar is a holiday of honoring Lord Osiris, replaced by erecting a Christmas Tree. It is celebrated on the birthday of Osiris, Dec. 21. Osiris was entombed in a decorated box that had his exact bodily measurements (See Cinderella) that was drowned in the Nile by Seth and found on the shores of the Nile Delta entangled in a Pine Tree. The tree was cut down as a Djed Pillar.

New Year’s Day is the Festival of Sakhmet, celebrated on January 1, by exchanging gifts, burning Incense and playing music.

Welcome to my blog.

I am an Author, Archaeologist (B.A. in Archaeology & Biological Anthropology, '99), Egyptian Afterlife Priest (Kheri-Heb) & a Pharaoh of Duat, visual artist, Micronationalist, and computer game modifier. I have written over 137+ books so far. My books are my paper monuments. I hope you enjoy them. I also made computer game "Mods"(over 300) for the computer game, The Elder Scrolls-V: Skyrim, on Steam Workshop/Nexus Mods (2012-2021), some with multiple star ratings.

I believe in reincarnation to comprehend future actions as based on past life actions, and direction in one's life. I believe my past life visits to Egypt influence and inspire me with their culture. My first publisher (1992) was a Psychologist at CSU Hayward/East Bay in California; she believed my fictional first novel was about real information, as did the US Government and NSA/CIA. When she published it she sold some $50M in as yet unpaid royalties, and when I alerted the Govt. about this, they confiscated it from her and paid me nothing, then asked a terror group (AQ) if "any American knew of their plans for global conquest" and started harassing Iran about their "Nuclear weapons" issues (Chapter 20-21). I researched Ancient Egypt prior to writing Eye of the Pharaoh (c.1990, 1995), I had read about 12 non-fiction books for that project. Content appears in the film, The Mummy Returns. The publisher died in 2020 from brain Cancer.

I self-publish now because I cannot trust people, plus I can control the books better with regard to design, availability and royalties. Follow me on Twitter: @HorusMichaelM7.
