I am going to make this clear. This channel does not support fringe archeology. Ancient aliens did not build the Pyramids. The Sphinx is not 30,000 years old. The Orion’s Belt theory is pretty much bunk. The only aliens around here are the well documented spirits that the Egyptians interacted with as a part of their beliefs. While I believe interaction with these spirits did benefit Egyptian culture and vice versa, they didn’t need anyone’s help creating monuments. They were quite capable of doing it on their own. Any comments arguing these long-disproven theories will be deleted. It is my opinion that many of these theories have a touch of racism in them.
Did the spirits benefit from the Egyptian culture?
@@apo.7898 Of course, I have no evidence. Personally, I believe that humanity and the spirits have had mutually beneficial relationships since we have been able to communicate.
If not orion belt; then where
@@thelastrealrula9454 I shouldn't even respond to this. Where what? What are you talking about? What astrological phenomenon do the pyramids at Giza align to? How about, they don't align with anything.
@@scrollofthothchannel why you so hostile" you said the orion belt theory is debuked" am just trying figure out what you talking about. I come in peace!
I was searching the Ancient Egiptian Ogdoads and found the is video. Thank you S.O.T for the outstanding insight and education,
Man is not alone in the cosmos, nor is his existence a random occurrence. Like a decorative float rounding the bend in a parade, his appearance was carefully coordinated in the procession of time. Although his participation is of great importance, the parade was not organized in his honor, and his float was not first in the procession.
are you quoting William Blake. common practice is to give credit. less you be mistaken for an original thinker and poet.
@@victore6242 yeah buddy it's Wally Blake
James I’m a Egyptian and I’m very proud of you and I hope you have a great day
Thank you for your kind words. I hope to see the magnificent land of Egypt and its wonderful people soon.
Thank you for this video I have been looking for information on the ogdoad 4 years 😳👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the part you play in keeping this alive.
Um dos melhores vídeos que já vi sobre!
Amazing insight, primordial chaos energy
thank yuo so much for this video, it is the 1st time I hear about these deities, and the way you explained everything was so concise and easy to understand. the video also moved me somewhat, tho i can't explain exactly why, but all these concepts and eities just 'ring true', they really resonate with me.
Thank you for your kind words. I felt exactly the same way when I first learned of them. They just make sense to me.
I've read that the ogdoad hold the eight corners of the cube of space . And later it was adopted to gnosticism or something
Thank you
It's my Africa Culture. It's what I do and ♥️ it!, I love telling OUR-STORY.
Bonjour. Subscribed.
yess teach us ogdoad magick!!!!!!
How do you define "alien"?
Something that exists primarily "elsewhere." That can mean in space or across dimensions. It can also be a radically different state of being than our own. The spirit of a plant could be considered alien by our inability to fully comprehend its perspective.
Bennu the bird of creation.
In the glyphs inGosford, Australia, it’s said that those ppl there are the people of the land of Bennu…
I’m a bit confused. Even tho I’m agreeing with most of what you said so far I came to one conclusion when I began reading about the ogdoad, in short 1 is all of them and none of them at the same time which makes the symbolic # 7 not 8 but that’s just how I read into it as in the one is the all knowing invisible god and the other 7 are present in our world .
The literal meaning of Ogdoad is "the eight." The main cult center, Khemenu, means "eight town." I think the number eight, more importantly, two sets of four, with four as a symbol of completeness, was the number being represented. I have not heard of a view that sees them as seven plus one, but would be interested in seeing your source. Keep in mind that later Hermetic interpretations were often far from the traditional beliefs of Egypt. In my own opinion, it doesn't seem the Ancient Egyptians were all that keen on the concept of a universal god, with the reign of Akhenaten being a prime example.
@@scrollofthothchannel I completely get where you’re coming from but the one that is all and none in a concert is both all there as well as non existent so I took that to translate to yes there are 8 as the group of seven individuals = 1 body with 7 equaling 8 entities but the same one encompasses all is none and all much like the Mayan definition of 0 meaning everything and nothing at once .
@@scrollofthothchannel A toponym of the city of Hermopolis Magna is written with an X-shaped sign whose four ends are horned viper heads. This drawing is notably known in Ethiopian talismanic art where there are many variants. The pronunciation of xmnw : the number eight in Egyptian is close to that of some Ethiopian and Semitic languages such as Geez: Samani... (/kh/ or /x/ > /s/)
@@carlospenalver8721 In this case, it seems that 8 begs 1. One would hardly venture to make the parallel with the word kamen or kaimin "what is seen" which is a call of Horus.
The concept of zero also existed in ancient Egypt...
Nun & Nunet Heh & Hehet Kek & Keket Amun & Amunet. The primordial beings
Curious why no mention of Qerḥ and Qerḥet as two of the eight original Ogdoad; I was taught that Amun (as a bit of a latecomer god himself) rather supplanted Qerh. That may not be your personal cosmology, but I would at least think it worth a mention.
I have never seen the gods Qerḥ and Qerḥet referenced in relation to the Ogdoad. I'd be interested in your source.
@@scrollofthothchannel both the Wikipedia entry of the Ogdoad and the TV Tropes page on Egyptian Mythology say that Qerḥ and Qerḥet are part of the 8 primordial deities, but are often replaced by other deities
Wikipedia:
"The fourth pair has no consistent attributes as it appears with varying names; sometimes the name Qerḥ is replaced by Ni, Nenu, Nu, or Amun, and the name Qerḥet by Ennit, Nenuit, Nunu, Nit, or Amunet. The common meaning of qerḥ is "night", but the determinative (D41 for "to halt, stop, deny") also suggests the principle of inactivity or repose."
TV Tropes:
"Qerḥet𓋹 (creation/destruction and life/death). They were later replaced by cults to other deities like Amun, and then the Heliopolian Ennead, which were Atum, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Nut and their descendants."
@@Sarah_H Well damn, that's a big one to miss =). I have seen it nowhere else myself, but that could be my own fault. I see the reference is from Budge, which may mean it needs to be reexamined.
@@scrollofthothchannel My earliest source was high school in the mid-'80's (which, you know, that's hit-or-miss), and then Alberto Siliotti's EGYPT which references Amun as having made pilgrimage to the temple of the old Ogdoad (why would he go to a temple that featured himself?), and for a truly banal answer we have Wikipedia's OGDOAD entry, which states, "The fourth pair has no consistent attributes as it appears with varying names; sometimes the name Qerḥ is replaced by Ni, Nenu, Nu, or Amun, and the name Qerḥet by Ennit, Nenuit, Nunu, Nit, or Amunet. The common meaning of qerḥ is "night", but the determinative (D41 for "to halt, stop, deny") also suggests the principle of inactivity or repose.[5]"
But either way, most Egyptologists believe Amun to be somewhat of a latecomer---not only to the Ogdoad, but also to other he (rather rudely!) supplanted.
Thank you really interesting. As a Sufi I have been guided to look into Melchizedek as a transcended master. Priest King who gave communion to Abraham ( Manna MLKZDK. Egyption links?) His symbol is the eight pointed star. Bible : Jesus a priest in the line of Melchizedek. Ogdoad fascinating resonance. Have you noticed the paired letters as four in balance A N K H.
As I say first and foremost thank you may you be rightly guided brother.
The animal mummies? Yeah mythical concepts. But also part of the enbalmers understudy it was a highly covet trained for occupation for obvious reasons
Plasma entities influenced the human mind
I met them. Wanna know more? So do I.
There is this Chinese feng sui frog with coins on his mouth there is another frog god of Hinduism look that up Bek. There is a story of frog and serpent in Hindu mythology book of Sai Satcharitra
Very close to the story of the NUMMO. Also ugly(to us) amphibians who created 8 people to populate the earth.
This coincides with Darwin's theory of ev9lution,
Dates would have been helpful
Like I've said before, I am not a scholar. Your question prompted me to look for primary sources on the early history of the Ogdoad, and that search is ongoing. I can say in a general sense that secondary sources claim the Ogdoad are depicted in the Pyramid Texts, 2400-2300 BCE. Meaning they are probably much older and established before then. They also are mentioned in the Coffin Texts, (2100 BCE.) In the opinion of Budge and other scholars, the Ogdoad seem to almost disappear in Egyptian religious texts and then reappear in the New Kingdom, the Ptolemaic and early Roman period. One of the more famous depictions is in the Temple of Hathor at Dendara. Placing this revival around 300 BCE to the early CE. Hope that helps.
@@scrollofthothchannel Thank you so much. Appreciate you.🙂🌻
Please blink every now and then when looking at the camera. you'll get more likes i swear!
All I can say is that I know my failings and I'm working at it. Check out my video, "Getting to Know the Scroll of Thoth," for more detail on my process. Thanks for watching.
Yet again, the alt right cooped something that the actually don’t agree with them smh
Your wrong
