EGYPTIAN MEN...Please help settle an argument?
829564
I think that there is a chance that ther could be one man in Egypt who does not want to have children. Surely at least some of the dead men might not. So unless he is the last man in Egypt and he wants to have a child, then the area is too large for anyone to speak for.

Yes it does appear that Christians and Jews borrowed some of the Egyptians ideas, there are similarities between the 10 commandments and the Egyptian book of the dead, the story of Jesus and the story of Horus, and there is even a theory that has a strong point of argument that Moses was actually the Egyptian prince Tuthmosis or the Pharaoh Amenhotep IV.  Tuthmosis was supposedly a prince during the rule of the pharaoh Akhenanten.  This was Amenhotep IV who changed his name to Akhenanten and who tried to change the Egyptian culture by declaring that from then on there was only one true god, Aten, and that Amen-Ra and the other gods should no longer be worshiped.  Apparently this idea was not embraced by the majority of Egypt.

Then obviously all of us Egyptologists are part of a vast conspiracy to all somehow come up with similar translations of the same text independently of one another, defend those translations based on the premises of the grammar that has been worked out over the past 200 years, and not ONE of us has broken ranks and told the world.  Nor have any of the other philologists who frequently work with Egyptologists noticed or pointed out the discrepancy. \n\nDamn, I wish I'd known that we didn't know what the hell we were doing.  It would have saved me a lot of late nights translating "The Ship-Wrecked Sailor"; "The Marriage Scarab of Amenhotep III;" the various commemorative stelae of the Tutmosids and Amenhoteps; "The Tale of the Eloquent Peasant;" "The Hekanakht Letters"; various medical texts and any number of other texts.  Not to mention having to carefully identifiy each part of speech, explain verb forms, and defend my translation in front of several other students and my professors.  And I really could have done without looking up words in the Worterbuch:  going from glyphs, to transliteration, to German, and then to English sucks.  Obviously, my entire graduate career has been a waste of time.  \n\nStrange how all those translations worked out almost perfectly and made sense seeing as how we really have no idea what we're doing...

Slavery has been around way before the Americas were found. Egyptians built their pyramids from slave labor. Ignorance is bliss and you are the most blissful person I've seen in a while.

The pictures that we have of Akhenaten are of statues of him which were up high, and meant to be viewed from below, which would create a fore-shortening effect. The sculptors of these statues therefore elongated his features to get over this problem. These statues weren't designed to be seen face-on, as we see them. This is why he looks weird. Having said that, he does have a protruding stomach. He could've had that disease. But I'd like to see where the thing about him being bisexual comes from. On the statue, perhaps they just showed small private parts - doesn't make him bisexual. Or perhaps the respondent means not fully male. Don't know about that one.\n\nAnyway, no, I don't see that there is any reason to think he was an alien.\n\nThere are some interesting books by Ahmed Osman about him, which have theories worth considering, although in my opinion, he goes too far. Akhenaten wanted to strip out all the superfluous gods and return to the worship of the one true God, which he called the Aten and portrayed as the sun disk.\n\nThere is also a beautiful and powerful prayer, supposedly written by Ahkenaten, which is extremely similar to one of the Psalms usually attributed to Soloman. Perhaps he was Soloman too!

Egyptians believed in the concept of life after death, which led them to the art of embalming and drove them to build the pyramids and tombs.\n    They also believed in god worship.  The god-forms each represented a principle or aspect of the supreme creator.  \n\n\n\nThese links will provide more information about Egypt:  \nhttp://library.thinkquest.org/15924/\nhttp://www.egyptheart.org/\nhttp://neferchichi.com/

1.  Ancient people, having no technical knowledge of a thing, would revert to the simplest answer to expalin it.  They were also much more religous than today's society and more readily accepted religous explanations for "evil."\n2.  I don't think this needs an answer...except...do you believe what you see?\n3.  See #2.

The whole Moses/Egypt/slavery thing is BS.  Besides the bible, there is no record of Hebrews in Egypt being held in slavery.\n\nEven if the Pharaoh wished to cover-up his embarrassment over losing to Moses... don't you think that all the other Egyptians that lost their first born sons would put down some record?!?  I mean, that is a monumental event!  Can you imagine how much impact there would be if all the first born male animals and children died in America today?  This would have been an earth shattering event that would be recorded in tons of sources.\n\nLet's imagine that it actually did happen in Egypt though.  Don't you think that instead of covering up the incident (which would be next to impossible), that the Pharoah would instead put a spin on it?  He'd probably say this his god, Amon-Ra, killed all the first borns because the Egyptians weren't faithful enough to the Pharaoh.\n\nBesides the bible, there is no record of the Hebrew's slavery.  \n\nAs to the attacking the land of Canaan... why would a peaceful and loving god wish to have humans attack and kill one another?  Why wouldn't he have Moses just do more miracles and convert the Canannites?\n\n-----\nScheb, you totally ignored my point.  All the first born men and animals killed?  It's not a defeat, it's a disaster.  The plagues should have been recorded somewhere!  Nile river levels, livestock purchases, reduction in the sale of frog legs, something!  By the way, what's with the idea of a benevolent and loving god killing children and animals (like puppies, kittens, and ponies) because a government leader pisses him off?  The people didn't vote him in, they didn't have a choice in who their leader was!  That's divine justice, oh yeah! <-- note sarcasm.

Depends on power you give to them or of power you believe in them. Also, it depends of the way you read and interpret the Bible or Koran. But speaking of today's conflicts, seems that these are not about Jesus or Mohamed, but about people who decided to get involved in it and refuse to resolve it in a political way. And, I agree with reichman2007: both care about men. But who cares about women?

I agree , not only in Gail but kicking his ass as well,\n\n\nit happened in Egypt , since 50 years and still going on , step by step minimizing the peoples freedom and increasing the government powers, now look at Egypt, a misery :( , if any American that really care about America u should take a stand and fight for your freedom , and do not compromise, or u will lose it,\n                                                               a Muslim brother who loves his brothers and sisters in humanity

Do you understand that this is the SCIENCE section? Where we deal in facts?\n\nDo you understand that you are discussing MYTHOLOGY/FANTASY? That this is has no factual basis?\n\nTry posting this over in the RELIGION or PHILOSOPHy or ARTS secton. You will get a better reposnse.

Hmmm.  Well, that does make me think!\n\nProbably the guys, I have to say.  Mostly because I imagine that early civilizations were all about that stereotype- cavemen konking their womenfolk on the head and dragging them home for wives.  I can't imagine much freedoms between the ladies in that sort of environment.  And like someone else said, guys have a domination complex that might allow them to wrestle their ways into sexy situations.\n\nBut at the same time, I imagine gals getting it on at home while their menfolk are away hunting . . . laying down in the woods taking a break from the gathering.\n\nAch, I just can't decide!!  What do you think??

Ohhh, I think they've had opinions for a while now. I was a very opinionated 3 year old. I remember not wanting to wear my sister's old clothes, and I recall a VERY opinionated adolescence...however, is your question really "Since when did a 15 year old's opinion count?" If so, I don't know. I know egypt had a few young rulers, but I think that was the last time anyone let a 15 year old's opinion decide ANYTHING! In my mama's house, my opinion might be considered, but did not govern a thing until I moved under my own roof. But that was several YEARS past 15...  :)
