WHAT ABOUT THE 2800 GODS?

In heiroglyph, they used the word 'neter' which means a GOD. However, the real meaning of 'neter' in heiroglyph is the powerful hand. This means it is an adjective.

Does this mean that the 2800 gods are merely the attributes of the one God?

So in this way we can understand 'The Book of the Dead' (Check Part 2)

This means the priests and political leaders had a big influence on religion. As usual, it was advantageous for the priests to have 2800 gods. Each god had a temple and offerings. The priests gained materially by collecting offerings and imposing taxes. Also the king preferred people to be split between 2800 parties keeping them distracted and fighting against each other. The result is that pharaonic history is distorted and false that is because it was written by priests and political leaders and the palace all gave us false information, and they are the ones who created the 2800 gods so that each would have a separate temple and offerings.

They actually believed in ONE GOD, This is proven by obelisks.

Obelisks point to the sky, representing the existence of one god.

AND WHAT ABOUT AKHENATON?

He suddenly popped up in history calling for monotheism, where did he come from? he didn't just appear from nowhere.

Akhenaton was influenced by the traditions and feelings of the people. What happened was political rulers took one side and the people took the other.

About this, God says in the Qur'an: "And a believer of pharaoh's people who concealed his faith said: will you kill a man because he says: 'My Lord is God'? and indeed he has brought to you clear signs from Your Lord...".

The meaning of that verse is clear and this man is ofcourse Egyptian also means That some Egyptians were believers but were forced to conceal their faith out of fear of tyrannical rulers. There is additional evidence in the Children of Israel's emigration, The EGYPTIANS GATHERED ALL THEIR GOLD THEY HAD AND GAVE IT TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. This showed they supported Moses. The ancient Egyptians believed Moses but they concealed their faith.

Even the names of the ancient Egyptians gods make us take notice: ATUM, OSIRIS and NUH

These are ADAM, IDRIS and NOAH

Specially in the ancient Egypt the great god Atum was known to be the first on earth.

During pharaonic times, when a great figure Died => he would be become a Legend then => a God

This was what happened with Adam who became Atum.

Osiris is Idris. He taught people how to write with a pen, and to sew clothes. He also divided seasons, made a solar calendar, and mapped star positions. All these were attributed to Prophet Idris. It is known he lived in Egypt.

Now we move to Nuh, That is Noah, who was known to the ancient Egyptians as the god of protection and floods . The god of flooding corresponds with Noah's story.

The conclusion is that whenever one of the prophets passed away, he was turned into a legend, then to a god. This kind of thing happens over and over again in history.

Sort:  

From my opinion, there is only one who believe that, there is God. People create gods from time to time, what they believe and dream. Some them were created to rule the people. Fear of uncontrollable things are most effective weapon to control people. People who believe in god, will be emotional or afraid in the name of their belief.
