Levels of Priesthood in Nematawy religion

Prophet in Egyptian was their word for High Priest.
There were several levels of Prophet in Egypt. The highest level was First Prophet, followed by Second Prophet, Third and Fourth Prophet. Pharaoh (the word for the Palace of the King) was Chief-High Priest (Chief Prophet).
Other forms of Priest include Setem Priest (the official in the Opening of the Mouth Ceremony that restores sensory to the recently deceased Spirit), the Purification Priest or Wab Priest (who cleans the temple and equipment with ritual libations), and the Kheri-Heb Priest who reads the ritual documents and directs the other Priests in Ceremonies. By reading the sacred texts, the Kheri-Heb activates the Magical words and causes events.
That Christianity plagiarized Egyptian religion is well known to scholars, but not to the general public. Islam did this too, but could not read Egyptian Hieroglyphs correctly, so had no knowledge of their sources. It is a pattern in History that the future civilizations copy or preserve existing information in a new form. Rome did so for Greece, and Babylon & Assyria did so for the Sumerians, and Aztecs did for the Mayans and Olmecs.
If you want to celebrate indigenous civilizations over that of the current ones, Egypt is a good source of information.
