Egyptian Philosophy Part 3 Our Stolen Legacy


"The teachings of the Egyptian Mysteries reached Other lands MANY centuries before it REACHED Athens.

According to history, Pythagoras after receiving his training in Egypt, returned to his native island, Samos, where he established his order for a short time, after which he migrated to Croton (540 BC) in Southern Italy, where his order grew to enormous proportions, until his final expulsion from that country. We are also told that Thales (640 BC) who had also received his education in EGYPT and his associates: Anaximander and Anaximenes, were natives of Ionia in ASIA MINOR, which was a stronghold of the Egyptian Mystery schools, which they carried on... Similarly we are told that Xenophanes (576 BC) Paramenides, Zeno and Melissus were also natives of Ionia and that they migrated to Elea in Italy and established themselves and spread the teachings of the Mysteries.

In like manner, we are informed that Heraclitus (530 BC) Empedocles, Anaxagoras and Democritus were also native of Ionia who were interested in Physics. Hence in tracing the course of the so-called Greek philosophy, we find that Ionian students after obtaining their education from the Egyptian priests returned to their native land, while some of them migrated to different parts of Italy, where they established themselves.

Consequently, history makes it CLEAR that the surrounding neighbours of Egypt had all become familiar with the teachings of Egyptians many centuries BEFORE the Athenians, who is 399 BC sentenced Socrates to DEATH (Zeller's Hist of Phil., p.112; 127; 170-172) and subsequently caused Plato and Aristotle to FLEE for their lives from Athens because PHILOSOPHY was something FOREIGN and UNKNOWN to them. For the same reason, we would expect either Ionians or the Italians to exert their prior claim to philosophy, since it made contact with them long before it did with the Athenians, who were ALWAYS its greatest enemies, until Alexander's conquest of Egypt, which provided for Aristotle FREE ACCESS to the Library of Alexandria.

The Ionian and Italians made no attempt to claim the authorship of philosophy, because they were well aware that the Egyptians WERE the true authors. On the other hand, after the DEATH of Aristotle, his Athenian pupils without the authority of the state, undertook to compile a history of philosophy recognized at the time as Sophia or Wisdom of the Egyptians, which had become current and traditional in the ancient world, which compilation, because it was produced by pupils who belonged to Aristotle's school, later history has erroneously called Greek philosophy, in spite of the fact that the Greeks were the greatest enemies and persecutors and had persistently treated it as a foreign innovation. For this reason, the so-called Greek philosophy is STOLEN Egyptian philosophy, which first spread to Ionia, thence to Italy and thence to Italy and thence to Athens. And it must remembered that at this remote period of Greek history i.e. Thales to Aristotle 640-BC - 322 BC the Ionians WERE NOT Greek citizens BUT! at first....Egytians subjects and later Persians subjects...

A brief sketch of the ancient Egyptian Empire would also make it clear that ASIA MINOR or Ionia was the ancient land of the Hittites, who were not known by another name in ancient days.

According to Diordorus and Manetho, High Priest in Egypt two columns were found at Nysa Arabia; one of the GODDESS ISIS and the other of the GOD OSIRIS, one of the latter of which the God declared that he had led an army onto INDIA, to the sources of Danube and as far as the ocean. This means of course that the Egyptian Empire at a VERY EARLY date, included not only the Islands of the Aegean sea and Ionia, but also extended to the extremities of the East[Asia].

We are also informed that Senusert I, during the 12th Dynasty (i.e. about 1900 BC) CONQUERED the whole sea coast of India, beyond the Ganges to the Eastern ocean. He is also said to have included the Cylades and a great part of Europe in his conquests.

Secondly, the Amarna Letters found in the government offices of the Egyptian King testifies to the fact that the Egyptian Empire had extended to western Asia, Syria and Palestine and that for centuries Egyptian power had been SUPREME in the ancient world. This was in the 18th Dynasty i.e. about 1500 BC.

We are also told that during the reign of Tuthmosis III, the dominion of Egypt extended not only along the coast of Palestine but also from Nubia to Northern Asia. "
