Ancient Egyptian Religion

[Tyrannos]

Hail!!!
Since someone has written:
"I do object to your equating Hinduism with witchcraft & other pagan religions. There is nothings like Vedas, Vedanta or enlightenment in those religions..."
, I have decided to open a discussion on the Ancient Egyptian Religion, with the goal to show the strong bonds of this Ancient Religion with the Eternal Dharma...
In fact in the sacred texts it is said that Narada Muni was born in Plaksha Dvipa, that according to the researchers it corresponds to the Mediterraneans countries..

" THE LITANY OF RA.

Title: The beginning of the book of the worship of RA in the Ament(Ament or Amentet means "hidden land",or rather the Realm of Dead).... When any one reads this book, the porcelain figures are placed upon the ground, at the hour of the setting of the Sun, that is of the triumph of RA over his enemies in the Ament. Who is intelligent upon the earth, he is intelligent also after his death.
