The
Ancient Egyptians believed that the Sun-God Ra descended
underground at night into the Underworld and fought its way upwards to appear
in the morning, victorious over death and reborn anew. This Geocentric view is akin to the Flat Earth Movement. They did not know that the Earth is a sphere that revolves around the Sun. So they built up a Mythology about the
process, comparing it to a Life Cycle that begins at birth, matures by noon,
and becomes old at dusk. The voyage
underground is in the Domain of Osiris, the Buried One (QRST or Christ). Once Ra is reborn he rules in the Heavens in
the sky. This rebirth is our Life cycle
on Earth. Another version is the Bennu
bird or Phoenix, which burns itself to death and rises from its ashes. In the Domain of Osiris the mode of activity
centers on Agriculture, which Osiris invented, as it is part of the Earth. Plants are grown first by burying seeds in the Earth, like the tomb of Osiris. Then sacred water libations are poured over
it, and the seedlings appear in the ground and rise up to the sky, reborn anew (Springtime, or “resurrection
of the Buried One”). When the plants are harvested this is the death of Osiris, during Winter or
the Winter Solstice which is the funeral of the Solar God Ra. Add the 5 extra days of the Egyptian Calendar
(the Birthdays of the family of Osiris) and you have Christ-mas, the rebirth of the Buried One, followed by the New
Year.
