dence. The evidence suggests a constructing time period of Egypt beginning earlier than 4000 BC. Ra formed the first “exodus” from Africa after the rebuilding of Noah. He was sickened and saddened at what the world had become again after 2,000 years.
He began an exodus of sorts into Egypt and restored the monotheistic view of God that Noah shared—the same visions and revelations of Adam, the first man, and Noah. The construction of the pyramids and other great Egyptian architecture shows a new way and era of civilization and culture. The Egyptian civilization and culture was far more advanced than any other civilization during that period in time (8000–2000 BC).
The monotheistic view shared is the concept of coming from one God (being everywhere and in all things), being a man (creation of God), and eventually bearing seed and returning to the creator (being a father). This view was handed down to the generations of Noah, at which time the great flood occurred because of the perversions of the law. This view was instilled again after the flood and later the people began to transgress again and Ra decided to migrate.
Prior to this, many of the Jewish ancestors were still in Africa and not part of the Egyptian society (as it was just forming); the Jewish people’s rise include Abram and Lot who ventured from Egypt into Canaan and the Jordan in approximately 1500 BC. This would indicate that the Jewish people would have been part Egyptian or Egyptian migrates from Egypt in approximately 6000 to 1500 BC. This means that the Egyptians and the Jewish people share the same ancestors, who became their enemies many thousands of years later. Because of the same blood root, a common ground was found among the people for many thousands of years. There was not war between the Jewish and Egyptian people until the time of Isaac and Moses.
Many of the Jewish descendants also came from areas near Egypt, or what could be called civilizations on the outside of Egypt. The monotheistic view of Ra was also extended into the rule of Akhenaton (who restored monotheism). Egyptians later went back to the old religion following the death of Akhenaton. He was later considered an evil ruler or enemy of the pagan Gods.

and descended down as an eagle to earth, which was in the form of an egg. He pictured the earth being as a large egg, with the eagle as a spirit to descend to it, both coming from the great Creator and solar disk in space. This led some of the pharaohs to later worship the sun.
Remember that pharaoh Ra never said the sun, but the solar disk. The description of the disk largely resembles the same light or source that people have claimed to see when they die.
Some skeptics of the religion derive an alien theory from this solar disk, believing that it is a UFO that visited Egypt. I believe Ra was trying to describe and speak of a giant sun, similar to the Big Bang in which the creation of the entire universe originated and returns to. This is also known as the point of origin, a place where all of the energy of the universe collects and amasses for one point in time. This concept would be very hard to instill to the people of the time; relation and metaphors to eggs and birds would be commonplace to the people.
The unity of Ra was consistent with the Genesis legends and the same form of how God gave Adam or Aton (Egyptian Adam) life and placed a soul into him, making him different from the other animals.
We can see how the metaphor of the eagle and the egg would be used, and the description does seem fitting. Ra considered himself the eagle (from the solar disk) and his wife, the earth (the egg), in which all of man was created from (two first people). This coincides with the monotheistic views of Judaism, Christianity, Hindu, Buddhism, Islam, and Sikhism. When considering the foundation of Egypt, Ra must be viewed as a prophet and founder of the Egyptian people.
Although Ra viewed himself as a God and founder of faith, he still acknowledged the fact that he did come from a greater power, and that power was in fact God. Since he could not describe that body in physical form, he entitled it the Great Solar Disk; which, if the point of origin could be described, it would in fact look like a solar disk. Remember that galaxies such as our Milky Way from a great distance resemble a solar disk. The galaxy is in fact shaped like a disk; they could in essence be called a solar disk (the center was a massive sun) instead of galaxies. The point of origin could be viewed as a giant galaxy or solar disk, although the pure energy found there cannot be given a name.
