The true origins of the ancient Egyptian civilisation: India
The ancient Upper and Lower settlements along the river Nile were originally occupied by farmers,
but later by a colony of kings and warriors who migrated from India. According to the Mahabharata,
they originally moved away because Lord Parasurama drove them out,
due to their war-like behaviour. The new habitat was originally known as Kemet,
meaning a place with black fertile soil. Surplus crops was obviously a big attraction.
In-between India and the Nile was Mesopotamia. Yet it was all part of same world empire connected by
trade routes and cultural exchanges. And many kings recorded in ancient Sumerian, Egyptian
and Indian writings include similar names. Along the Nile there emerged Upper and Lower
kingdoms, but by 3100 BCE, the ruthless King Narmer from the Upper invaded its rival and became
the first Pharaoh of a unified Egypt. Narmer established the role as a god-like status.
The country then entered an era of prosperity, with expansion of arts, religion and literature.
It was a non-Vedic civilisation that prospered at the outset of the Kali Yuga, and meanwhile
India declined. However, Egypt imported Indian culture, but with their own unique spin.
Amongst the architectural achievements were of course the Pyramids.
They were not originally built just as tombs but state-sponsored portals to the
next life. The philosophy included the soul, its transmigration and communion with the Divine.
The first Step Pyramid is attributed to Imhotep, who was an all-round genius.
‘Imhotep’ means ‘he who comes in peace’ so that’s evidence he may have come from abroad. But most
convincing are the clear Vaishnava-Hindu tilak marks on his body in this particular drawing.
The original layers of limestone in pyramids that followed concealed the structure’s core
and gave its surface a smooth finish, gleaming in the sunlight.
Excavations of a Pyramid dated 3000 BCE revealed an engraved verse about reincarnation
from the Bhagavad-gita. Chapter 2 verse 22.
Some say the Pyramids originally represented the Vedic Mount Meru, a Maha Meru. This is similar to
the dome-shaped temples of south India. Note that in the Indian vaastu sastra,
pyramids are believed to nullify negativity. It seems the Pharaohs began use them for more
selfish purposes. Perhaps hoping to nullify any bad karma.
The Great Pyramid of Giza’s southern shaft in the King’s Chamber pointed directly to the
stars on Orions Belt. The purpose was to allow the deceased Pharaoh and his servants to reach
Osiris. A major purpose was to send people to planets of the kingly forefathers, Pitri-loka.
But the obsession of preserving and mummifying physical bodies
was surely due to material attachments. Anyway, then there’s the Sphinx. Sphinxes were
ancient symbols of the progress of human existence and temple guardians. Now consider these:
In the Hingol National Park in present day Pakistan just west of the Indus Valley.
Now these are not natural rock formations, and are dated around 10,000 BCE
The sphinxes of the Shri Shiva Nataraja temple in Chidam-baram

The Egyptians, according to their own records, originated from the sacred land of Punt,
the home of their gods. Punt, or Pank-th, referred to a holy land with pandits. India as
their ancestral home is supported by the finding of human DNA in North Kerala similar to that
of some of those in ancient Egypt. Now lets look at some of their gods:
Amun was depicted with blue skin and having feathers in his crown.
He is often described as a symbol for creative force, and the most powerful of the gods
Like Lord Krishna. Amunet is the consort of Amun and they were both
said to be existing before creation. This makes Her similar to Krishna’s consort Radharani.
Mut is described as Queen of the Goddesses, Mother, and She Who Gives Birth. Like Durga.
Khonsu’s complexion is white like the moon. He carries a heka,
which represents a plough. Like Lord Balarama.
Amun, Mut and Khonshu are something worshiped as a triad: Similar to Jagannath, Baladev and Subhadra.
Or others say like Sita, Rama and Laxman. The Egyptian god Ptah is from the Sanskrit Pita,
meaning father. A reference to God the Father as Creator. Like Lord Brahma.
Nefertem was the god of each morning's creation of day,
associated with the lotus flower. Very similar to Lord Brahma who sits upon a lotus flower
and each of his days is a new creation.
Horus or Har is directly another name for Lord Shiva. But Atum seems to have more in common
with Shiva because he is associated with snakes and has a human head.
Nun, or Nu who with blue skin raised the gods from the primordial waters, is similar to Garbodakasyi
Vishnu. And images of Him raising a boat is similar to Vishnu in the form of Matsya.
Seshat the goddess of writing, music and astrology. Like Saraswati.
Khnuem, with a head of a ram. is said to have fathered many gods.
Like the Hindu Manu, Daksha. Babi, or Baba was the monkey god,
the chief of the monkeys or baboons. Similar to Hanuman although with much less self-control.
Apedemak – like Lord Nrsimhadev
Like the Hindus, the Egyptians also conceived the four corners of the earth as a cow.
Now like the Hindu Vedic priests, Egyptian priests would:
Shave their head and wear white cloth Chant prayers, burn incense.
Took care of deities Performed rituals on boats on the Nile,
like the role of the Ganges. Like in India,
Egyptian scribes and teachers had sikhas The Opet festival – similar to Ratha Yatra
Pharaohs’ crowns were decorated with the symbol of a cobra, as sign of respect…
and the power of the kundalini within. Ramses was pretentiously titled after the ideal
ruler, Lord Rama of the Sun Dynasty. The specific meaning is 'begotten by the sun god Ra'.
Now - the name of the river Nile comes from the Sanskrit Neel, meaning blue.
The irrigation methods of ancient Egypt were similar to those that were practised
across India. And the final example:
Note this image of a 19th Dynasty Emperor of northern Egypt. Hey he is wearing tilak marks!
