5.0 out of 5 stars Mysterious, Alternate History Of Ancient Egypt, June 3, 2006

By

This review is from: Edgar Cayce's Egypt: Psychic Revelations on the Most Fascinating Civilization Ever Known (Paperback)

This book provides an alternate history of ancient Egypt which is very different from what you're going to see on The History Channel.

Cayce himself is a central figure in this story in the form of the priest Ra Ta.

It cannot be pure coincidence that others who were with Ra Ta during that time also spoke with Edgar Cayce.

There were some key events in Ra Ta's experience which are:

1) migration into Egypt of Ra Ta and other Atlanteans as Atlantis went down for the final time as a result of the mysterious activities of the "Sons Of Belial". as the Atlanteans entered Egypt they had some things they wanted to do there including preserving a history of Atlantis in The Great Pyramid and the "Hall Of Records" which is still buried under the Giza plateau waiting to be discovered.

2) conspiracy against Ra Ta in Egypt which involved getting him to violate his own law of monogamy by forcing the lovely temple dancer "Isis" to seduce him. this is when "the gods laughed at the weakness of the individual, or the priest". (yes it was quite comical). Ra Ta was exiled as a result.

3) while in exile Ra Ta somehow reversed the aging process and made himself young again. eventually people wanted him to return to Egypt which he did.

4) creation of a new religion, helping the "things" become normal again, construction of the monuments on the Giza plateau and other mysterious temples.

This book answers many questions about ancient Egypt but raises so many more.

Cayce tended not to talk too much about the technical details of how mysterious things were done such as using anti gravity forces to build the pyramids. He seems to focus more on the spiritual truths behind these things.

However he does mention these mysterious subjects that many people are interested in.

Other books provide more technical details about some of these things although even in those cases many questions remain.

This book is over 500 pages of pure Edgar Cayce psychic readings with no editing or other fillers.

Because of the unusual way that Cayce spoke while in his hypnotic state it takes some time to read this book.

This review is from: Edgar Cayce's Egypt: Psychic Revelations on the Most Fascinating Civilization Ever Known (Paperback)

This book is really an extremely comprehensive and fascinating encyclopedia of everything Edgar Cayce (while in trance) ever said about pre-historic Egypt around 10,500 B.C. As such it's an invaluable reference for anyone interested in this topic.

There are hundreds of sub-headings, so at a glance it's possible to read all of Cayce's information on any topic that interests the reader. The topics run from politics to religion to family to sex to ancient technology to the pyramids and Sphinx and on and on to any topic touching Egyptian life in those ancient times.

I found it very useful to have this book at hand while reading the latest books on the pyramids and Sphinx such as Christoper Dunn's THE GIZA POWER PLANT, Hancock and Bauval's `THE MESSAGE OF THE SPHINX and (for those who really want to understand the process of initiation in the Great Pyramid) Earlyne Chaney's INITIATION IN THE GREAT PYRAMID.

I and others own the Cayce CD which includes all the psychic readings, but there is no way the CD can replace this comprehensive and carefully organized volume (with comprehensive indexing). Highly recommended for anyone who wants more information on our true history and ancestry.

At almost 600 pages it's not a book to read so much as a reference for the topics that most interest the reader. The reader also has to adjust to Cayce's way of speaking, which in this case is apparently a translation done on the fly into English from ancient languages.

The text also lets us know the link between Atlantis and ancient Egypt. There is no other source available today which gives so much information about the Egyptian civilization of long ago.

This review is from: Edgar Cayce's Egypt: Psychic Revelations on the Most Fascinating Civilization Ever Known (Paperback)

The book is a compilation of readings that Edgar Cayce gave throughout his life that referenced Eqypt. They were then divided by subcategories and put into book form.

Although some of the information was absolutely fascinating, certain chapters were repetitious, and I had to fight off boredom, barely making it through. The book is definitely worth reading if you aren't married to the Egyptologists' theory.
