Ptah was the name given to the first in a
succession of administrators from the "Old
Empire" who represented themselves to the Earth
population as "divine" rulers.
Ptah's importance may be understood when one
learns that the word "Egypt" is a Greek
corruption of the phrase "Het-Ka-Ptah," or
"House of the Spirit of Ptah". Ptah, was nicknamed "The Developer". He was a construction
engineer. His high priest was given the title
'Great Leader of Craftsmen'.
Ptah was also the god of reincarnation in
Egypt. He originated the "opening of the mouth
ceremony" which was performed by priests at
funerals to "release souls" from their corpses.
Of course, when the "souls" were released, they
were captured, given amnesia, and returned to
Earth again.
The so-called "Devine" rulers who followed Ptah
on Earth were called "Ntr", meaning "Guardians
or Watchers" by the Egyptians. Their symbol was
the Serpent, or Dragon which represented a
secret priesthood of the "Old Empire" called
the "Brothers of the Serpent".
As in the soul was in an elite bloodline, and then returned into the same bloodline?
