A text from the "Book of the Dead" (Chapter 17): "I am the One God who created himself; I am the existence that has no beginning and no end."
Archaeological expert Dr. Abdel Rahim Rihan, Director General of Archaeological Research and Studies at the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, presents the features of this study, clarifying that the Book of the Dead contains approximately two hundred papyri, reaching a length of 17.40 meters, dating back to the period between 594 – 588 BC.
The texts in this book consist of Egyptian magical prayers, invocations, litanies, and talismans accompanied by illustrations. These texts have reached us inscribed on leather, shrouds, coffins, tomb and temple walls, and papyrus. Initially, these texts were called the "Gospel of the Egyptians," but the common name now is the "Book of the Dead," a term coined by Lepsius. The ancient Egyptians called it "Pert em Heru," meaning "The Coming Forth by Day." The texts were written in simple Hieroglyphic and Hieratic scripts, while the grammatical language is "Middle Egyptian," with each chapter heading written in red ink.
Dr. Rihan points out that the Book of the Dead proves the ancient Egyptian's monotheism and their belief in One God, asserting that Egyptian civilization was not pagan or polytheistic in worship, despite the conflicting ideas regarding the number of deities—ranging from 2,800 to 1,250. Ancient Egyptians realized there was only One God, and the civilization was built on the principle of Monotheism.
He indicates that the Book of the Dead is the most famous monotheistic book in Egyptian civilization, containing definitive phrases indicating the Oneness of the Creator, such as: "You are the First and before You there is nothing; You are the Last and after You there is nothing," and another sentence on the tongue of the One God saying: "I created everything alone and no one was beside me."
I believe, my friend, this is sufficient for you to realize the vast historical difference—that Monotheism is not an Abrahamic claim but a reality fought in every age by its enemies or those who benefit from its absence. As for forcing people to embrace a religion, this is pure cognitive nonsense. If we say someone destroyed things because they were a "terrorist" and all this delirium, let us review the actions of pagans in destroying the temples of fallen states and erasing cultures without their followers batting an eye. Today, Muslims number nearly 2.5 billion; did anyone force them? Even in America itself, was anyone forced to convert? Does it make sense to describe 2.5 billion people as terrorists just to enjoy hating individuals? Have you ever in your life met a Muslim who forced someone to follow their religion? Monotheism is the historical origin, not the opposite.
Defenders may defend their paganism, which I will not be dragged into attacking. However, let me bring you a text from Akhenaten’s papyri, presented by the esteemed member Morell:
"The temples of the gods fallen to ruin, their bodies do not endure. Since the time of the ancestors, it is the wise man that knows these things. Behold, I, the king, am speaking so that I might inform you concerning the appearances of the gods. I know their temples, and I am versed in the writings, specifically, the inventory of their primeval bodies. And I have watched as they [the gods] have ceased their appearances, one after the other. All of them have stopped, except the god who gave birth to himself. And no one knows the mystery of how he performs his tasks. This god goes where he pleases and no one else knows his going. I approach him, the things which he has made. How exalted they are."
Here, we were supposed to say that Allah, the "Lord of the Worlds," is pure Monotheism for worship, and God was never among other gods as haters claim. I asked: Have we found a single idol named "Allah"? But as usual, the pretenders flee when the light of truth comes, resorting to twisting facts and labeling to evade their failure in confrontation. He who said yesterday the name is "linguistic" and consulted his teacher is silent today after I refuted his weak argument, which I do not believe came from an academic's mouth but from his mind and intertwined assumptions, claiming to understand Arabic more than its native speakers.
But since God is mentioned in multiple languages, and because He is the God of the universe, the heavens, and the earth, what is the difference? I say the difference is that the existence of One God will erase any other god. This truth I believe in does not mean imposing it on you, and likewise, you should not impose your paganism on me—otherwise, who would be the imposer and the fanatic? Insults and labeling are tools from a quiver empty of arrows. In Arabic we say: "Do not wail like women," but be a man.
If we look with an insightful eye at various civilizations, we will find a very important glimpse of Akhenaten's words remaining: all their temples were demolished. Perhaps it raises a question: Who are those gods who allow their temples to be destroyed, their worship to vanish, and their mention to be forgotten? Looking at the word "The God" (Al-Ilah), we find it exactly as Morell's signature: His life is without beginning and without end, because a beginning needs a maker to start it, and an end needs the same maker to finish it.
Therefore, how long will I remain restricted here just for presenting my viewpoint, which I have not forced upon anyone? Why should I be restricted or pressured just because I say, "I believe in One God"? What provokes the rest? A short time ago, a young man killed nine unarmed people and he was not a Muslim; did Muslims label anyone as a terrorist or their religion as a religion of terror? Every day, infants are killed in Gaza who know nothing but their mothers' milk; did Muslims label Judaism as a religion of terror or reject it? Once again, have you ever heard a Muslim insult Jesus, Mary, or Moses? The capacity for contempt and insults always comes from pagans or non-religious people. They hurl accusations and revolve in the orbits of wordplay only to escape. Are there any real scientific or academic confrontations? No, just launching theories without any proof.
One last question: Does any pagan possess evidence that the god they worship is solely the one who created the sun?
Thank you for your patience.
