late to the political scene in Egypt and its view of Creation attempted to incorporate the ideas of Memphis,
Heliopolis and Hermopolis into a new cosmology that subordinated the chief deities of those cults to Amen, chief
deity of Thebes. The Theban doctrine holds that in the beginning there was the great primeval flood known as Nu or
the Nun. The god Amen then appeared in a series of forms, first as an Ogdoad, then as Tatenen (a Memphite name
for Ptah identified with the primeval hill), then as Atum, who created the first gods, then as Re. After this he created
humanity, organized the Ennead, appointed the four male members of the Hermopolitan Ogdoad as his divine
fathers and priests, and appointed Shu as their leader. Another Theban tradition holds that Osiris built the first city
at Thebes. To equate all these ideas with the biblical Creation stories would be a massive undertaking, far beyond
the scope of this short paper. Therefore I will deal only with a small piece of this very large subject. In this paper I
will just compare some elements of the Heliopolitan cycle with the biblical account of Adam and Eve and the
second day of Creation. ... Summary: In conclusion, I note that the bible places Israel•s formative years as a cultural
entity in Egypt, and its leading figures, Joseph and Moses, were educated in Egypt•s traditions. What they new
about the origins of the world they learned in Egypt, and what they wrote about those origins should surely have
had an Egyptian influence. Yet, while scholars are willing to admit all sorts of Semitic pagan influences on early
Hebrew historical beliefs, they treat the idea of Egyptian influence as far too profane for intense examination. I hope
in this paper I have been able to at least raise some interest in more closely examining the [false] idea that Egyptian
ideas greatly influenced the writing of early biblical history. {Note: The concepts, practices, laws, medicines,
religion, etc. that Moses wrote about in the Pentateuch [first five books of the Bible] were completely foreign [i.e.
the 8 Feasts of Leviticus chapter 23] and in many cases the opposite of the traditional teachings of ancient Egypt.}
*Note: Monday - back to blogging and very excited about it!
Topics for this week: First some Bible verses that have been important guidance [the equality of God, the
righteousness of God, the Holiness of God and the independence of God] for the Basic Christian Ministry are going
to be posted. Then a wrap-up for this year regarding the Jewish Fall Feast Days. Also a completion of the study of
generational sin [all children are conceived and born in the original sin of Adam and Eve and also have received at
conception some of the accumulated sins of the previous 3 or 4 generations]. Then content about the current state of
Presidential politics [Basic Christian is not going to blog either the 2010 or the 2012 elections] and the current
merging of politics and the New World Order (NWO) [7th Kingdom] system. Then the beginning/resuming of the 8
Kingdoms of the World Study picking up again with Nimrod [1st Kingdom] and the [Kingdom] Tower of Babel and
including in the study a study and background regarding "The Days of Noah." --- Also the new Basic Christian
resource BasicChristian.air is now available and is recommended for download and use, some help and information
about the file will be provided this week as well. ~ God bless everyone, David Anson Brown
Tower of Babel May Have Been Located Near the Black Sea [West and
North of the traditional location for Noah's Ark] in a remote region of
eastern Turkey - He believes he has found a possible location near a
place whose name means "Gate of God," the same literal meaning as
Babel - In the Tower of Babel story in the book of Genesis, Noah's
descendants [journeyed from east (the Ark) to Shinar] led by Nimrod
arrived at Babel in the land of Shinar - Sanders' work is a challenge to
conventional beliefs - Traditionally, biblical scholars and
archaeologists have placed the dawn of [after Noah] civilization in
Mesopotamia [directly South of what is considered to be the site of the
Ark of Noah], the area bounded by the rivers Tigris and Euphrates, now
mostly located in Iraq -- "Genesis 11:1-5 And the whole earth was of
