Did Egyptians Believe in One God?

The statements of Urologist Professor Wassim El-Sissy caused dissatisfaction among many people interested in Pharaonic civilization,since he mentioned in his speech information related to Egyptology that were incorrect. Some points in his remarks beg answers.

Among the most important statements of Dr. Wassim El-Sissy was that the belief in one god appeared in ancient Egypt during the age of the first family. In addition to that, some texts on the pyramids read "New Cetter" meaning "only one".

Egyptology scientist Dr.Hussein Bassir says that ancient Egypt had a number of gods since the pre-family era, and that uniformity in the sense known to the public regarding the heavenly religions was not known in Pharaonic Egypt at all. Even Akhenaton's message was a religious one denoting one god. The purpose of his message was the elimination of the control of God Amun and his priesthood on the resources of the Egyptian state.

It wasn't mentioned that the text of the pyramids included the word "New Cutter" meaning "only one", the phrase that professor El-Sissy declared was written on the pyramids. It is known that the depths of the pyramids included ancient texts by Pharaohs on the walls of burial chambers and corridors leading to the pyramids of kings and queens.

The first texts appeared during the reign of King Wanees at the end of the fifth Dynasty in his pyramid in the Saqqara region. The goal was to secure the journey of the deceased king in the afterlife and the pyramid was considered a ladder used by the king to rise to the world of gods where immortality and eternity await him. It is also worth mentioning that several king were mentioned in the depths of the pyramids, a large number of Egyptian gods and goddesses, So how exactly could professor Sissy declare that he found this two word text between numerous names of gods, queens and kings ?

Dr. El-Sissy also said that the great king Ramses II faced trial in a court in front of 15 judges and sentenced to death and two judges were executed for being biased. This is totally contrary to historical truth and has no archaeological or historical evidence. It looks like Professor El-Sissy failed to distinguish between Ramses II the second and Ramses III.

In fact, there was a struggle and conspiracy on the throne of King Ramses III between the royal wife or the original crown prince and the secondary wives, his secondary wife, Queen T. This queen plotted against the Pharaoh's life. This was one of the few times that Pharaonic texts spoke of such a thing.

The plot is known as the "harem plot". The plot was attended by a number of royal palace women and some courtiers, guards and servants. The target of these conspirators was not known. Perhaps the main reason for the plot is that this secondary Queen T, in cooperation with some of the palace women, planned to assassinate the king to place her son, Pintaort, on the throne of Egypt instead of the legal heir, King Ramses IV. The plot was revealed and investigated by Pharaoh.

The court sentenced the defendants to sentences ranging from death, suicide, flogging, imprisonment, cutting off the nose, deafening and innocence- each according to his role and crime in that shameful plot. It is known that there is a mummy of an unknown man in the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. Scientifically known as "the mummy of the unknown man E". It is commonly referred to as "the screaming mummy" or "the blatant mummy".

Recent studies conducted by Dr. Zahi Hawass and his team on the mummy of King Ramses III and the unknown mummies in the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square proved that the king was killed by cutting his neck from the back with a sharp knife.

The same recent studies have shown that the "mummy of the unknown man" or "the screaming mummy" or the "mummy of the screaming man" was the son of King Pintaort, who was forced to commit suicide and hanged himself. This son was punished with the greatest punishment, which is not to mummify his body and bury his body in sheepskin, which was considered immoral in ancient Egypt, and therefore, he will go to hell in the afterlife.

These events confirm the truth of the rhetorical methods used in the text of the literary plot when he pointed out that the royal boat had sunk, symbolizing the death of King Ramses III and the rise of his soul to heaven.

However, it is certain that the plot failed with evidence that his natural successor took over. Prince Ramses, later King Ramses IV, assumed the throne instead of his brother Pentaort.

Dr. El-Sissy also said that women were involved in all things. This is not true. Women had their role in property, home and society. Some of the priests had their role according to their work in the temple. He said, among other things, if a wife complained about her husband, he would be first be warned, then he would be removed. This is scientifically incorrect and is not supported by archaeological or historical evidence.
