A Possible Egyptian Time Scale, by Paul Hoffman
A point, which seems to have escaped attention in the past history of
He puts forward that a hypothetical time scale based on Egyptian
reverences, which he describes, as speculative, but without this beginning no
solution is likely to be reached.

Scientists have sought in vain for some reason for the sudden upward
spurt of the Egyptians from barbarism to culture. The missing link is to be
found in the Hoerbiger Theory, which visualizes the peoples of the sinking
tropical islands migrating to safer lands as the moon drew nearer. The
possibility that Egypt also had a migration from Atlantis is supported by the
story that the Nile Valley was closed to the world, which may have been due to
a realization that it could-under existing conditions-only support a limited
population, and that survival depended on restricted immigration.
That Egypt was a sovereign state is supported by the statement in the
article on the Schliemann Mystery in Atlantis Vol. IV, No. 5 that Taaut or
Thoth escaped to Egypt and built a temple at Sais. If this had not been the
case, it would have been impossible for Taaut to settle down under his own
name.
Sun worship may well have been brought in by the Atlanteans; it is
possible that their enthusiasm for it may have arisen from the fact that it had
been endangered by the defection of some of them, and it was necessary to
re-establish it.
As Luna drew nearer, it became obvious that the land of Egypt was in
grave danger, and the inhabitants set to work to build the Great Pyramid Khufu
and probably also the second pyramid Chefren. As has been pointed out in the
previous article (Atlantis, Vol. IV, No. 6) these pyramids were used as temples
for the sun god and as chambers of initiation. The demand of King Surid that
his soothsayers, "examine the position of the stars and see if anything
new is going to happen" may well point directly to the approaching planet.
Note from Webmaster even though Hoerbiger felt it a planet, it is no reason
to rule out a asteroid or some kind of a spin off satellite left over from a
broken up planet, or comet? The idea same.
The name of Khufu found in the Great Pyramid, may have been that of the
pre-diluvial constructor, the fact that it was also that of a fourth Dynasty
ruler, does not of itself prove anything, since names of rulers tend to be repeated
in all countries even after long periods. The name Khnum or Khnemu, of one of
the earliest Egyptian Gods, may well be related to Khufu.
Note from Webmaster-There is some evidence for this notion in Egyptian
writings in close association of Khufu and Khnemu, as well as Khufu's older
name Suphid. Both names refer to a dying (star) sun god 'ufu', and
'nemu' as an old 'bull' which Suphi like Sapi refers to Hapi the bull god of
Sais and Nile? The Dogon refer to Nemu as a name of the Sirius being, or creature
that landed in Lybia-Algeria? The antiquity is very clear, so also the names
before 5,000 B.C.. and pyramids supposed building period or idea? The dying sun
god was vogue in Khufu's day who partially replaced the older story with his
own elaborated god names.
According to Al Beruni, the catastrophe came in its due time, and half
covered the pyramids, but, perhaps to the surprise of the pyramid builders, the
flood did not completely devastate Egypt, which may only have decreased
somewhat in size as suggested by Bellamy's "Atlantis Myth", p. 97,
and by the Priests of Sais in speaking to Solon. It may well have been the same
people who opened them up as those who had closed them, which would explain the
continuity of ceremonial.

When Manetho says that menes was the first man to rule over Egypt, we may
take this to mean that he was the first aboriginal king. In Turrah, near Ciaro,
Herman Junker dug up in 1909-10 a series of prehistoric tombs from the 1st
Dynasty, in which were found the names of Den, Mersen, and others. One piece
was marked King Scorpian, who is usually considered as King proceeding Menes.
As Manetho places him in epoch of the gods he must have been the last Atlantean
ruler.
The long period of time during the Atlantean Dynasties lasted, over seven
thousand years, may perhaps be explained by the relative barbarism of the rest
of the world after the lunar capture, and the fact that Egypt was cut off from
the rest of the world by stretches of arid land to the east and west. A
parallel case has been the hold of the Vedic tribes have had over India for
about the same length of time, and the fact that conquered aborigines are still
suffering from exclusion as pariahs from the caste system.
This assumption is confirmed to some extent by the reported statement of
Manetho in the Papyrus found by Schliemann in the Petrograd Museum, to the
effect that the reign of the Sages of Atlantis had lasted 13,000 years. The
fact that the Atlantean forbears were regarded as gods scarcely suprising, as
Greeks appear to have done the same.
An interesting point arises from the names of the Egyptian rulers, each
of which had five different names from the 10th or 11th
Dynasties onwards. One of these was the "RA" name, showing that he
was a son of the sun god; then came his "Horus" name, presumably
giving him the right as a descendant of Horus to rule over Upper and Lower
Egypt and to wear the Double Crown. Here it may be interposed that Spence in
his History of Atlantis, mentions the connection between the Amazon Queen and
Horus as the King of Egypt.
Osiris was a god of Abydos, where many of the oldest rulers and nobles
are buried. Here he was known as "He from the West" i.e., from
Atlantis, although the orthodox interpretation
"He from the land of the dead" may also be correct, since the
Greeks placed their Hades in the Far West, for not only did the sun die in the
ocean beyond the Pillars of Hercules, but this realm had seen the greatest
destruction of mankind at the time of the cataclysm, and therefore anything
associated with it had an aroma of death.
It seems possible that Abydos was the capital city of Osiris, or even his
burial place. Amelineau working 1895-99, found in the Hills of Um el Gaab,
tombs which may have been those of Osiris and of Horus and Set. Further
investigations at Abydos may well bring important results.
From this period there is a gap until we come to Cheops who reigned in
the 4th Dynasty. As mentioned above, his name "Khufu," was
probably also that of the original pyramid builder. It seems sure that it was
he who blocked up the entrance to the pyramid, using for that purpose the very
granite plug, which had been used during the Deluge. Why he closed the entrance
is not clear. He may have broken away from the worship of the sun, or he may
have shut up the temples to preserve them from profanation. However, it remains
reasonably certain that in true Atlantean custom, he did not use the pyramid as
his burial place.
Webmaster explanation of the closing of Pyramid- There are three reasons
that are possible and based on historical writings about it.
1. The Priests of Ra-Tem (Setting Sun worshippers) had become economically
very powerful in Khufu's day, and Khufu was on semi friendly terms with them.
Khufu was starting a very different solar emphasis on the Rising Sun which the
Fifth Dynasty exploited in the form of Ra-Benu in a more resurrecting god and
in some ways was much older. Because early Thoth Ra-Bennu became very connected
with Twin Worship of the preceding age i.e. Orion and Gemini it instituted
separate powers between King and Priests and was designed to keep a wedge
politically between Religious and Royal lines as limited intermarriage. The
conflict was more than a political argument it was a spiritual argument since
Egypt was not just looking at the West but also to the economics more in the
East to colonize or convert worshippers for a powerful king. Pyramid was closed
for a agenda, and the passing of an older god whose stars began to not reflect
the social changes. It explains why the stars had to be placed by design within
the pyramid not above it and later in tombs? At this time the Osiris worshippers
were trying to emphasize Abydos, more than the pyramids for their commoner
religion or their priest temples i.e. cult of the dead. It was a immortality
crises period and questions of the states lineage. This setup what had happened
latter in the 12th Dynasty with the reconciliation of religions
which ironically came from Sudan as the East was conquered i.e. India,
Indonesia, and China by colonies of Egypt in a more complete form.
2. The period of Cheops had a concern of over flooding which put
exceeding pressure on the preservation of the chambers and tunnels of the Giza
complex, it was noted at Cheops own laboratory canal and channel made home not
far from Giza via Nilometer studies. The symbology of the Age or Taurus and
Alderbaran as the rushing Bull about the Niles over flooding is significant at
this time in mythology and by name Nam-Ur, and Nga-Ra.
3. The Temple at Giza had been moved and the old religion for
preservation purposes had to be secured, it implies that there was hurry by the
methods. Some potential threat of either secret disclosure to a outsider and
invaders influence, or the sect had to move from the area to another religious
center. If Cheops ordered this occurrence it can be only in two forms: 1. To
have credit for the disassembly of the religious order symbolically, yet
allowing for exodus or underground religious expression to continue. 2. By way
of a dream that portended the need for the protection of the secret information
from a icon figure like the Sphinx, and that it asked to close the chambers
till it would be needed again.
The explanations I give only deepen the mystery and may have reflected
one over all picture that the Atlantean Gods and their celestial ages had
passed as well as the line of Priests that controlled Egypt, and some how the
age of corrupt kings was dawning and denied the secret truths.
Some vague examples:
The Magician Teti who was connected with the Thoth Sanctuary could re-attach
the body and head after severed to live again, and showed it in front of Khufu.
This shows Khufu's interest in magic? The fact the magician preferred a goose
over a person for this trick, a Abydos religious signature? He was also a
fortuneteller, and that a lion would follow him without a line and follow by
him, which brings up the Sphinx question?
This leads to the next conclusion, Bast, "Lady of the East" is
popular not far from Giza, but Thebes at this time began to be hostile about
this cult, she was connected with Ra-Tem of Giza and had a worshipping clan
called the 'Mayo' who were indirectly connected with the Sanctuary of Thoth?
Cheops connections involved the Neith like cult of Sais, or 'Lady of the West'.
It appears to be a imposed compromise occurred to force the Mayo out toward the
east as potential political competition, and for Cheops to focus more on the
riches of the West without them (Mayo) knowing his full intensions for the
control of metals and stone.
And here is the point: from Herodotus (II 124-26) "Now, they told me,
that to the reign of Rhampsinitus there was a perfect distribution of justice,
and that all Egypt was in a high state of properity; but that after him Cheops,
coming to reign over them, plunged into every kind of wickedness. For that,
having shut up all the temples, he first of all forbade them to offer
sacrifice, and afterwards ordered all the Egyptians to work for himself; some,
accordingly, were appointed to draw stones from quarries in the Arabian
mountain down to the Nile, others he ordered to receive the stones when
transported in vessels across the river, and to drag them to the mountain
called, the Lybian. The rest of this may have been conjecture for the man who
read the information to Herodotus did not know completely how to read Egyptian
ancient script and has come down to us 'for the explanation of the pyramid as
being Cheop's' as one of the greatest literary forgeries.
The part about Cheops being into more magic and controlling the people
interests is non-contested, it would seem that he could have ordered the
pyramid as out of control over a particular sect that seemed to not let Cheops
into their circle or secret. It was clear he was not an Osiris King, and this
haunts Kephren's reign later in form of minor revolts abroad and at home. I do
not question their contribution to pyramid lore, but question them as in any
way to be the true authors of the pyramids first made in Giza? For if Cheops
was closing temples, why then would he bother to build a project the people
would only resent him for, and would not be able to pull off without tremendous
strife. If you are closing temples it is more likely you are claiming the ones
you made when you never did. In a sense an inheritance claim, made by a decree
you made before you were born because you’re the sun god? This is how science
has been historically fooled, not to mention the petrified sea salt on the
pyramid walls not worth looking at (not from blown in sea salt air either)?
