First of all, this thread is probably missplaced. I cant think of where it would go, but figured that its kind of about religion, so if you have an idea, please let me know or report the thread. Any way...
I've been thinking a lot lately about the sphinx and the history of Egypt as a whole and came accross an unusual occurance. In the 0 kingdom (before they recorded the rulers "Pharaohs" wink two nations were suddenly united. For years before that Egypt had been divided in two countries; North Egypt and South Egypt. The question that presented is; Why, after generations of deadlock, was the South Kingdom suddenly able to overtake the North?
To answer that we look at the idea that the origin of civilization is in the Middle East and North African regions. As such, Egypt would share its title of oldest civilzation with the Summarians and their city of Ur. Amungst the ancient Summarian gods was Nergal, the god of war. I believe that a Summarian Exploration team may have encountered the Egyptions of the South Kingdom (which was acctualy on the northern part of the Nile) and helped make contact with the South Kingdom and the followers of Nergal. A war themed cult would have brought new technology and moral to the warring people and give them the push they may have needed to overcome their old enimies.
Such a cult would have had some influence on the (now unified) Egyptions even after returning to their homeland. As testiment to their power, i think they built a massive monument to their god (Nergal) who was said to have the face of a man, but the body of a massive lion. Over the next few centuries the monument became demoralizing to the people of Egypt who had just joined the seperate cults of their own land into one religion. So, under the orders of an ancient Pharaoh (King Khephren, some believe) it was recomissioned in his likeness, thus becomeing the monument we know today.
Well, thats my theory. Please let me know what you think. Support of critisism. If you find my timeline is wrong PLEASE let me know. I look forward to your imput.
