Aker in hieroglyphs

Aker
In Egyptian mythology, Aker (also spelt Akar) was one of the earliest gods worshipped, and was the deification of the horizon. There are strong indications that Aker was worshipped before other known Egyptian gods of the earth, such as Geb.[citation needed] Aker itself means (one who) curves because it was perceived that the horizon bends all around us. The Pyramid texts make an assertive statement that the Akeru (= 'those of the horizon', from the plural of aker) will not seize the pharaoh, stressing the power of the Egyptian pharaoh over the surrounding non-Egyptian peoples.
As the horizon, Aker was also seen as symbolic of the borders between each day, and so was originally depicted as a narrow strip of land (i.e. a horizon), with heads on either side, facing away from one another, a symbol of borders. These heads were usually those of lions. Over time, the heads became full figures of lions (still facing away from each other), one representing the concept of yesterday (Sef in Egyptian), and the other the concept of tomorrow (Duau in Egyptian).[2]
Consequently, Aker often became referred to as Ruti, the Egyptian word meaning two lions. Between them would often appear the hieroglyph for horizon, which was the sun's disc placed between two mountains. Sometimes the lions were depicted as being covered with leopard-like spots, leading some to think it a depiction of the extinct Barbary lion, which, unlike African species, had a spotted coat.
Since the horizon was where night became day, Aker was said to guard the entrance and exit to the underworld, opening them for the sun to pass through during the night. As the guard, it was said that the dead had to request Aker to open the underworld's gates, so that they might enter. Also, as all who had died had to pass Aker, it was said that Aker annulled the causes of death, such as extracting the poison from any snakes that had bitten the deceased, or from any scorpions that had stung them.
As the Egyptians believed that the gates of the morning and evening were guarded by Aker, they sometimes placed twin statues of lions at the doors of their palaces and tombs. This was to guard the households and tombs from evil spirits and other malevolent beings. This practice was adopted by the Greeks and Romans, and is still unknowingly followed by some today. Unlike most of the other Egyptian deities, the worship of Aker remained popular well into the Greco-Roman era. Aker had no temples of his own like the main gods in the Egyptian religion, since he was more connected to the primeval concepts of the very old earth powers.

B: The secound god is Anubis was associated with the mummification and protection of the dead for their journey into the afterlife. He was usually portrayed as a half human, half jackal, or in full jackal form wearing a ribbon and holding a flail in the crook of its arm.[8] The jackal was strongly associated with cemeteries in ancient Egypt, since it was a scavenger which threatened to uncover human bodies and eat their flesh.[9] The distinctive black color of Anubis "did not have to do with the jackal [per se] but with the color of rotting flesh and with the black soil of the Nile valley, symbolizing rebirth."[9]
Anubis is depicted in funerary contexts where he is shown attending to the mummies of the deceased or sitting atop a tomb protecting it. In fact, during embalming, the "head embalmer" wore an Anubis costume. The critical weighing of the heart scene in the Book of the Dead also shows Anubis performing the measurement that determined the worthiness of the deceased to enter the realm of the dead (the underworld, known as Duat). New Kingdom tomb-seals also depict Anubis sitting atop the nine bows that symbolize his domination over the enemies of Egypt.


C: Were their the lost isralites in Egypt ? Read 2 Macabees Kapitel 1

1 Die Brüder, die Juden, die in Jerusalem und in das Land Judäa zu sein, möchten den Brüdern, den Juden, die in ganz Ägypten Gesundheit und Frieden sind:

2 Gott sei dir gnädig, und erinnere mich an seinen Bund, dass er mit Abraham, Isaak und Jakob, seine treuen Diener gemacht;

3 Und Ihnen alle ein Herz, ihm zu dienen und seinen Willen zu tun, mit einer guten Mut und einen willigen Sinn;

4 Und öffnet eure Herzen in seinem Gesetz und die Gebote und senden Ihnen Frieden,

5 Und hören eure Gebete, und eins mit dir sein, und nie verlassen Sie in der Zeit von Schwierigkeiten.

6 Und jetzt haben wir hier für euch zu beten.

7 Welche Zeit als Demetrius regierte, in der sechshundert und neunten Jahr haben wir die Juden schrieb euch in der äußersten Not, die uns in diesen Jahren kam, aus der Zeit, dass Jason und seine Firma aus dem Heiligen Land und Reich auflehnte,

8 Und brannte die Veranda, und unschuldiges Blut vergossen: dann betete zum Herrn, und zu hören waren; boten wir auch Opfer und Feinmehl und zündete die Lampen, und legte die Brote.

9 Und nun sehen, dass ihr das Laubhüttenfest zu halten im Monat Casleu.

10 In den hundert achtzig und acht Jahre, die Menschen, die in Jerusalem und in Judäa waren, und dem Rat, und Judas, geschickt Gruß und Gesundheit zu Aristobul, König Ptolemäus 'Meister, der den Bestand der gesalbten Priester war, und die Juden, die in Ägypten waren:

11 so sehr, wie Gott uns hat vom großen Gefahren ausgeliefert, danken wir ihm hoch, als im Kampf gegen einen König gewesen.

12 Denn er warf sie darauf hin, dass in der heiligen Stadt gekämpft.

13 Denn wenn der Führer war in Persien kommen, und die Armee mit ihm, die unbesiegbar schien, wurden sie in den Tempel Nanea durch den Betrug der Nanea die Priester erschlagen.

14 Für Antiochus, als wollte er sie heiraten, kam in den Ort, und seine Freunde, die mit ihm waren, um Geld im Namen der Mitgift erhalten.

15 , die, wenn die Priester Nanea hatte festgeschrieben, und er wurde mit einer kleinen Firma in den Kompass des Tempel betrat, schloß sie in den Tempel, sobald Antiochus in gekommen war:

16 Und die Eröffnung eines geheimen Tür des Daches, warfen sie Steine ​​wie Blitze, und schlug der Kapitän, hieb sie in Stücke, schlug ihnen die Köpfe ab und warfen sie zu denen, die ohne waren.

17 Selig unser Gott in allen Dingen, die die Gottlosen hat geliefert werden.

18 Deshalb, während wir jetzt vorgesetzt, um die Reinigung des Tempels auf dem fünf und zwanzigsten Tag des Monats Casleu halten, dachten wir, es notwendig, um Sie davon bescheinigt, dass auch ihr könnte es zu halten, als das Fest der Laubhütten, und das Feuer, das uns gegeben wurde, als Neemias opferte, danach hatte er den Tempel und den Altar gebaut.

19 Denn wenn unsere Väter nach Persien geführt wurden, nahmen die Priester, die dann frommer waren die Feuer vom Altar heimlich, und versteckte es in einer Höhlung der Grube ohne Wasser, wo sie hielt es sicher, so dass der Ort unbekannt war alle Menschen.

20 Nun, nach vielen Jahren, als es Gott gefiel, Neemias, aus dem König von Persien geschickt, schickte der Nachkommenschaft jener Priester, die sie verbarg, um das Feuer hatte: aber wenn sie uns gesagt, fanden sie kein Feuer, aber dick Wasser ;

21 Dann befahl er ihnen zu erarbeiten, und sie bringen, und wenn die Opfer gelegt wurden, befahl Neemias die Priester um das Holz zu streuen und die Dinge gelegt daraufhin mit dem Wasser.

22 Als dies geschehen war, und die Zeit kam, dass die Sonne strahlte, welche zuvor in der Wolke versteckt, gab es ein großes Feuer angezündet, so dass jeder Mensch bestaunen.

23 Und die Priester ein Gebet, während das Opfer verzehrte, sage ich, sowohl die Priester, und der ganze Rest, Jonathan Anfang, und der Rest Beantwortung thereunto, wie Neemias tat.

24 Und das Gebet war nach dieser Weise; O Herr, Herr, Gott, Schöpfer aller Dinge, die Angst und stark, und rechtschaffen bist, und barmherzig, und das einzige und gnädig King,

25 Der einzige Geber aller Dinge, die nur gerecht, allmächtig und ewig, du, daß deliverest Israel aus allen Schwierigkeiten, und hast die Väter zu wählen, und sie heiligt:

26 erhalten die Opfer für dein ganzes Volk Israel, und bewahren deinen eigenen Teil und heiligen.

27 Sammelt diese zusammen, die von uns verstreut sind, liefern sie dazu dienen unter den Heiden, schauen auf sie, die verachtet und verabscheut, und lassen Sie die Heiden weiß, daß du bist unser Gott.

28 zu bestrafen, dass zu unterdrücken uns, und mit Stolz zu tun, dass wir Unrecht.

29 Pflanzen dein Volk wieder in deinem heiligen Ort, wie Mose geredet hat.

30 Und der Priester gesungen Dankliedern.

31 Nun, wenn das Opfer verzehrt wurde, befahl Neemias das Wasser, das links auf der großen Steine ​​gegossen werden sollte.

32 Als dies geschehen war, wurde dort eine Flamme entfacht: aber es wurde durch das Licht, das vom Altar leuchtete verbraucht.

33 Also, wenn diese Sache bekannt wurde, war es der König von Persien, gesagt, dass an der Stelle, wo die Priester, die weg geführt wurden war das Feuer verbarg, erschien Wasser, und dass Neemias hatte die Opfer gereinigt damit.

34 Da sprach der König, einschließend den Ort, heiligte ihn, nachdem er die Sache versucht hatte.

35 Und der König nahm viele Geschenke, und davon auf jene, die er zu befriedigen verliehen.

36 Und Neemias als dieses Ding Naphthar, was so viel wie zu sagen ist, eine reinigende: aber viele Männer nennen es Nephi.

Historical evidence of Isralites living in egypt --

Bes (Bisu, Aha) was an ancient Egyptian dwarf god. He was a complex being who was both a deity and a demonic fighter. He was a god of war, yet he was also a patron of childbirth and the home, and was associated with sexuality, humour, music and dancing. Although he began as a protector of the pharaoh, he became very popular with every day Egyptian people because he protected women and children above all others. He had no temples and there were no priests ordained in his name. However, he was one of the most popular gods of ancient Egypt and was often depicted on household items such as furniture, mirrors and cosmetics containers and applicators as well as magical wands and knives. Over time he came to be seen as the champion of everything good and the enemy of everything evil. It seems that he was originally known as "Aha" ("fighter"wink because he could strangle bears, lions and snakes with his bare hands. He is described as a demon, but he was not considered to be evil. On the contrary, he was a supporter of Ra who protected him from his enemies. As a result, he was a god of war who protected the pharaoh and the people of Egypt from evil forces. He was often depicted on knives in the hope that this would extend his protection to the bearer of the blade. His image also appears on numerous "magic wands" and on an incredible number of amulets.

He was particularly protective of women and children and was often depicted with the young Horus protecting him as he matured. As a result, he also became a god of childbirth. It was thought that he could scare off any evil spirits lurking around the birthing chamber by dancing, shouting and shaking his rattle. If the mother was experiencing a difficult birth, a statue of Bes was placed near her head and his assistance was invoked on her behalf. Rather sweetly, Bes remained at the child's side after birth to protect and entertain them. It was said that if a baby laughed or smiled for no reason, it was because Bes was pulling funny faces. By the New Kingdom he was a regular feature of the illustrations on the walls of the mammisi ("birth house"wink.

However, it was during the Ptolemaic Period that the worship of Bes reached it height. He appears in numerous temple reliefs, thousands of amulets and charms were made in his image, and there were even oracles of Bes to allow people to benefit from his wisdom. He was given a new wife, known as Beset, who was a female version of himself ."Incubation" or Bes chambers were constructed with images of Bes and a naked goddess (most likely Beset) painted on the walls. It is thought that these chambers were meant to promote healing, remedy certain fertility problems or promote erotic dreams. The Romans also loved Bes and depicted him dressed as a legionnaire.

Bes also became popular with the Phoenicians and in Cyprus. Some scholars have suggested that the Ptolemaic version of Bes was in fact a composite god made up of ten fairly obscure gods; Aha, Amam, Bes, Hayet, Ihty, Mafdjet, Menew, Segeb, Sopdu and Tetenu. However, this theory is not widely supported and no evidence has been recovered to date which would clarify the situation.

Bes was also associated with a number of the more powerful gods; including Amun, Min, Horus and Reshep. He was most often associated with Horus the child. Bes often appeared on amulets and stele depicting the young horus and inscriptions intended to protect against snake bites etc. (known as "cippi"wink. The two gods also formed the composite deity "Horbes", even although Beset (Bes' wife during the Ptolemaic Period) was also described as Horus' mother! Bes was also closely associated with Hathor, who was also described as the mother or wife of Horus. The goddess was known as the "Lady of Punt", and was also a goddess of childbirth, dancing and music who shared many iconographic symbols with Bes.

******Bes was sometimes depicted with feline or leonine features and often sports a long tail prompting the speculation that in earlier times, he was not in fact a dwarf but a lion or cat rearing up on his hind legs. If he did start out as a feline goddess this would give him a further link to Hathor who was herself very closely associated with Bast (a cat goddess) and Sekhmet (a lion goddess) and the "Eye of Ra" (the fearsome protector of Ra).

********Furthermore, his name may be derived from the Nubian word for cat ("besa"wink and is written using the determinative for a mammal rather than the determinative of a god or a man (the cow skin). It is equally likely that he was always seen as a dwarf with the strength and power of a cat.

So we see tha are dwarfly type of people and that we have mixed with the isralites because of oure survival in ancient Egyp (Mizrayim kemet) WAS IMPORTANT.

**********Further evidence read

Later ancient times
In the Elephantine papyri, caches of legal documents and letters written in Aramaic amply document the lives of a community of Jewish soldiers stationed there as part of a frontier garrison in Egypt for the Achaemenid Empire.[6] Established at Elephantine in about 650 BC during Manasseh's reign, these soldiers assisted Pharaoh Psammetichus I in his Nubian campaign. Their religious system shows strong traces of Babylonian polytheism, something which suggests to certain scholars that the community was of mixed Judaeo-Samaritan origins,[7] and they maintained their own temple, functioning alongside that of the local deity Chnum. The documents cover the period 495 to 399 BC.
The Hebrew Bible also records that a large number of Jews took refuge in Egypt after the destruction of the Kingdom of Judah in 597 BC, and the subsequent assassination of the Jewish governor, Gedaliah. (2 Kings 25:22-24, Jeremiah 40:6-cool On hearing of the appointment, the Jews that had fled to Moab, Ammon, Edom and in other countries returned to Judah. (Jeremiah 40:11-12) However, before long Gedaliah was assassinated, and the population that was left in the land and those that had returned ran away to Egypt for safety. (2 Kings 25:26, Jeremiah 43:5-7) The numbers that made their way to Egypt is subject to debate. In Egypt, they settled in Migdol, Tahpanhes, Noph, and Pathros. (Jeremiah 44:1)


D. Then after their was war in Egypt , we came then down too West africa called Nigeria etc.
