ATON, the GOD Who HIDES
SOUND [HERE]
THERE WERE over 300 Gods in EGYPT when AMENHOTEP 4 was
born to AMENHOTEP 3 and his half-Hebrew wife TIYE, the daughter
of YUYA, the BIBLICAL JOSEPH.....Why did this young Pharaoh
decide to turn his back on all these "gods" and their priests? ...AHMED
OSMAN, Cairo Attorney at Law, and author of MOSES, Pharaoh of
Egypt, explains it thus.........
........The young Pharaoh had hidden most of his early childhood in a
frontier fortress town near the Sinai Desert....His mother's Hebrew
relatives were living in the farm country of the Nile Delta....They had a
tradition of an ancient God or "Gods" [the ELOHIM], who did not look
like animals or crocodiles, and indeed were very POWERFUL BEINGS
although people had long ago forgotten what They really looked like.
........The other Pharaohs, including AMENHOTEP 3, his biological
father, had a tradition that only Pharaoh's FAMILY, among all the families
in EGYPT, were really descended from AMON, the SUN GOD, chief
of all the "gods" of EGYPT....They were obliged by the priesthood for
many generations to marry their own SISTERS, to preserve the purity
of the ROYAL BLOODLINE....TIYE's child was contaminated with
Hebrew blood, and NO WAY could he ever claim to be a pure-bred
descendent of AMON...After he was old enough, TIYE convinced his
father the Pharaoh to accept him as his SON and allow him to jointly
rule EGYPT....
.........This was only marginally acceptable to the EGYPTIAN NOBLES,
however, and "MOSES" was pursuaded to marry NEFERTITI, his
half sister, daughter of his father by an EGYPTIAN wife other than the
half-Hebrew TIYE....As ALL EGYPTIAN and ROYALTY...Neferititi
was the real power behind "MOSES" rule of Egypt after his father died,
perhaps at a young age....."MOSES" had before that aquired an
Ethiopian wife as part of the REWARD for a military campaign he led
as GENERAL into UPPER EGYPT where the population is almost all
BLACK....Hebrew oral tradition supports this history, and Numbers 12
hints at it........This early MILITARY PROWESS of "MOSES" explains
how a supposed "shepherd" was able to lead out in the defeat of so many
war-like tribes and nations in the wilderness as His Hebrew relatives
approached Canaan........
........Had "MOSES" been content to practice Polytheism, or even tolerate
it, he might have reigned longer as Pharaoh...but his own biological part-
Egyptian part Royalty status coupled with the religious traditions of his
mother's relatives led him to finally declare that "THERE IS NO GOD
BUT ONE, AND THAT GOD CANNOT BE REPRESENTED
BY ANYTHING FOUND ON EARTH."...and the FIRST TWO
COMMANDMENTS of the famous DECALOG came into being...
.............The young Pharaoh was not TIMID, and he was a successful
General....He changed his name to AKHENATEN, in honor of his
"ONE GOD" Whom he named ATON or ATEN [as in Hebrew,
there are no required VOWELS in EGYPTIAN]...."ATN" is the word....
When the people showed their displeasure, he shut down all their temples
and moved his capital to AMARNA, which he built and populated with
artists, craftsmen, and intellectuals no longer under the control of an
archaic priesthood....AMARNA was the "CAMELOT" of the 14th
century BC....
...........The powerful priesthood REVOLTED, forced AKHENATEN-
MOSES to abdicate to his young son TUTANKATEN, also named
for ATEN, "The GOD Who hides His FACE but does not look like
a crocodile..."...AKHENATEN moved out to the Sinai mountain-top
Temple at Sarabet-al-Khadim, now full of stone monuments that look
remarkably like the "TWO TABLES of STONE" as they are usually
pictured inscribed with those famous "TEN COMMANDMENTS"....
A miniature stone-carved picture of his mother, Queen TIYE, was found
there...the same picture featured earlier on this WEB-SITE.........
.........According to OSMAN's calculations, AKHENATEN-MOSES
spent 30 years in exile, not 40, but that's pretty close as symbolic numbers
go...TUTANKAMEN had become TUTANKAMON and gone back
to polytheism at the insistance of the priests....NEFERTITI, his mother,
was the REAL RULER...For a while, after King "TUT" died in his youth,
"MOSES" Hebrew Uncle, a General, had his turn at the throne...He was
the one who provided "PROTECTION" for the exiled King....
........ALL this History was of course SUPPRESSED, and it took a
LAWYER with a passion for CLUES and access to the evidence to
"find" the REAL STORY....for Jewish Scribes have suppressed it also,
for reasons of their own....A large factor, no doubt, was the knowledge
that "MOSES" was only 1/4 Hebrew, and his children 1/8 Hebrew....
So, in the BIBLE TRADITION he was the "adopted son" of Pharaoh's
daughter.....Actually that was quite near the truth...He was the son of
one Pharaoh's wife [TIYE] and married another Pharaoh's daughter
[NEFERTITI]....How about the name "MOSES"?...Osman says that one
meaning of "MOSES" in ancient Egyptian is "the HEIR"....Moses returned
to Egypt after 30 year's exile as the returning "HEIR". ...His famous ROD
was the Egyptian Scepter he took with him...no doubt carved into the
shape of a SNAKE....Successful against the "snakes" of the other
magicians because it was the genuine scepter of the Pharaohs, recognized
as such by all who saw it...
..........No one would accept Him back as ruler of Egypt, because they
couldn't tolerate his MONOTHEISM, but they did allow those of his
Hebrew relatives who wished to leave to follow him back into the
Wilderness of Sinai....MIRIAM [NEFERTITI] his wife and half-sister,
no longer acceptable as Queen of Egypt, followed him into the Wilderness,
now one of THREE wives...The youngest a Bedouin Princess who bore
him the children acknowledged as his in the BIBLE....
........As usual, the Hebrews squabbled and fussed about this and that
much of the time....One problem was WHAT to call their ONE GOD...
"MOSES" insisted on ATON or ATEN, but this had been Egyptianized
to ADON or ADEN....Or more familiarly ADONAI...With the adoption
in the Wilderness of the THIRD COMMANDMENT, which promised
SEVERE PENALTIES for anyone spelling or saying GOD's name in
an improper manner...It was decided to use "MOSES's" name for GOD
without penalty, while Y-W- was abreviated, not used except at the
holiest feast days, or just indicated as two yodts '' in a sentence.
........And that's how the GOD of the Jews became known as "Baruch
ata Adonai Elohainu Melech ha-Olem"...in English..."Blessed art
Thou O Lord, Our God, King of the Universe."
The TORAH CODES in ELS, "Equidistant Letter Spacing" give in all
these texts involving "MOSES" and "MIRIAM" their REAL NAMES
AKHENATEN and NEFERTITI, and are also full of the NAME
ATN..ADN...ATEN and ADONAI...As with other things involving
the HIDDEN BIBLE CODES....Real TRUTH is more important than
traditions, no matter how precious these traditions may be to all who
hold them in a death-grip! Back to HEALTH-ARK ......OR ....Home Page
