Summary:

Have the modern religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam developed out of practices from ancient Egypt? Did religion in dynastic Egypt itself represent only a shadow of the spiritual practices of prehistoric people? And have the Western Mystery Schools such as the Rosicrucian Order evolved from systems that grew from the spiritual understanding of those ancient times? With over thirty-five years of research into these subjects, Independent Egyptologist Stephen S. Mehler addresses these issues and more in this book.

Mehler has continued his work with Egyptian wisdom keeper Abd'El Hakim Awyan, first introduced in his book The Land of Osiris. Now Mehler presents more of Hakim's oral traditions with radical new interpretations of how religion evolved in prehistoric and dynastic Khemit (Egypt), the teachings of the King Akhenaten and the "real" Moses, the true identity of the Hyksos, and Akhenaten's connections to The Exodus, Judaism and the Rosicrucian Order. Mehler also presents for the first time in the West the spiritual teachings of the very ancient Khemitians and how this understanding will be the foundation for the coming new cycle of consciousness-The Awakening.
