Now let’s continue with the translation:

“This aurora, in which history and legend merge with the images of Atlantis or the "planet Egypt", is attested by this timeless and unique monument that is the Great Sphinx.

The Sphinx is attributed to Khafre (around 2550 BC), but no technical, architectural, or even logical continuity element attaches it to the Great Pyramid or to the monuments of this Pharaoh. The representation of the lion body with the human head reverses all the visions of the gods, with a human body and an animal head (leonine in the first couple), and accentuates the mystery of this colossal ideogram: monument of the ancient people to his first and great king Osiris, a military stone between terrestrial life and celestial life?”

>> I join my voice to most of my Egyptologist acquaintances when they say that Khafre’s face was not the original = initial face of the Sphinx. A lot believe Pharaoh Khafre re-carved it with his own face. I agree with that. Some might ask why the Pharaoh did that: well, the most logical explanation that comes to me is that the original, initial face was already damaged when Khafre was around. Seeing what an impressive monument the Sphinx is, he put his face on it. He thought he was worthy of such an honor (most probably).

From here on, it’s a compressed historical account of the pre-dynastic Egypt; that is the ERA before the DYNASTIES:

“The chosen people of six thousand years ago are divided into two large areas with contrasting characteristics: Upper Egypt, along the Nile which flows from the South to the north for hundreds of kilometers; and Lower Egypt, along the countless canals of the Delta, which extend for about 150 kilometers.

Upper Egypt, that is to say Egypt south of the Sphinx, has an increasingly narrow and less generous strip of land; and with the increase in the difficulties of life also develops the need to lock oneself in societies preoccupied especially with internal problems.

Lower Egypt, on the contrary, is a generous land, the dense population of which is in continuous contact with other peoples by an infinity of ways which always favor mercantile and maritime activities and, consequently, the flowering of open communities , self-sufficient, and in continuous fermentation.

Housing and work groups are developing especially in Lower Egypt; and they are all distinguished by their own symbols which identify with the personal division of their one god and become the emblem of the dominant family.

The first urban agglomerations that we know are those of Lower Egypt, where about 22 cities already have their “anointed”, that is to say the king consecrated by the anointing of sacred oil and decorated with the Libyan feather. Saïs and even more Métellis are the first cities which predominate over the entire Delta. Métellis is the great center where the gold of Nubia (1,500 km to the south) and the wood of Syria (1,000 km to the north) arrive.”

>> Urban structure = City-States, exactly like with the Sumerians.

“Letopolis, born at the feet of the Sphinx, and consequently the pivotal city between Lower and Upper Egypt, succeeds the others in the strategic and commercial area of Lower Egypt.

On par with political power, we see religious power growing, closely linked to all the activities of the time. Thus, with the growth of Létopolis, the old sanctuary which rises opposite becomes a sacred city. This city, which the Greeks later called Heliopolis (“city of the sun”), became the pivot of religious and therefore social unity. With the need to unify the standards and measures for all commercial traffic between Upper and Lower Egypt, the unification of religious cults is deeply felt, moreover, by all Egyptians.

In the very ancient sanctuary, perhaps witness to the reign of Osiris, was originally worshiped the divine couple generated by the primordial mother-earth, namely Shou and Tefnut, both represented with a human body and a head of lion, that is to say, the inverted image of the Sphinx.

Around this first couple gather all the gods of the other “nomes” like the scattered members of a single god.

The axis of power then moves to the city of Bouto. With the kingdom of Bouto we have the first "name" in history and precisely that of Andjty "the protector", the new man who takes power by the will of the people. With Andjty we also have the first real domination of Lower Egypt with the increase of the agrarian cult, that is to say the cult of Osiris. The capital takes the name of "city of Osiris". The sovereignty of the sovereign, as descendant and legitimate representative of Osiris, is consecrated to Heliopolis; and is put to the test and confirmed by the feasts of the Sovereign Jubilee, that is to say thirty years after its consecration (later we will call this Jubilee the feast of the heb-sed). Thus, before the end of the 4th millennium, Heliopolis assumes the historical charge and legitimizes, in the form of an oracle, the sovereigns of Egypt

Next comes the kingdom of Busiris, which extends to the south and creates new cities, including the sanctuary city of Abydos, a center devoted to Osirian worship. With a tendency towards Middle and Upper Egypt, the center of power returns again to Letopolis and the new kings are elected by the god Osiris himself, that is to say by the priests representing him; by this direct election these kings are identified with the god himself: their emblem is the sacred falcon.

Trade, growing in the Mediterranean, brings new wealth and new power and the cities of the Delta quickly become independent. This dismemberment again favors the domination of Bouto who supplants Letopolis, eliminates interference from Saïs and submits the weak republics hardly born. ”

“The kings of Bouto are always sacred in Heliopolis. Their power becomes hereditary and only subject to divine justice; and thus withdrawn from all judgment, becomes an absolute power. The priests of Heliopolis have the duty to sanction the appointment and to judge post mortem whether or not the king was worthy of becoming a deity. With the assertion of absolute power also arise adequate administrative and legal bodies, and in particular those concerning public works and domain and financial services, with the surveys and censuses of “gold and fields” and consequently the institution of a gigantic cadaster of the whole kingdom, full of registers and inventories.

With the second kingdom of Bouto trade routes in the Mediterranean are increasing; it is the beginning of real colonies in Crete and Byblos (where a temple dedicated to the goddess Isis is built) and in Upper Egypt, where (in Coptos) we have direct contact with caravans from the sea Red, or with the Nubians who bring gold, ebony and ivory. Bouto becomes a powerful city, surrounded by walls provided with towers, with temples and palaces, covered with hidden barrel vaults, from which emerge high antennae with ribbon flags”

>> I would like to point it out once more = I do not believe Byblos or Crete were Egyptian colonies. But there was very close ties and influence. The cultural exchange, imprint is very deep.

“The development of events is slower in Upper Egypt. Coptos, Edfu, Elephantine, Tentyris, Oxyrhyncos, are the most important cities of the 4th millennium. They join a confederation, so their head is in Noubt (Ombos), where the princes are sacred. The common standard is the crocodile, which often identifies with the god Seth. Life is based on strength, aggressiveness and courage, skills that are essential to overcome everyday difficulties. However, the relations with the more fortunate brothers of Lower Egypt to obtain the essential products are a cause of difficulties and problems, because their dangerous infiltrations must be repelled in continual conflicts. The battlefield is the land of Middle Egypt, formerly a fertile land for all, always more dotted with agricultural and river centers which, obviously, turn more towards Lower than towards Upper Egypt and create their own confederation under the protection of the goddess Hathor, venerated as mother or wife of Horus.

This hathorian confederation - in which cities like Assiout, Abudos, On, Cusae, Kazah thrive - undergoes serious attacks from Upper Egypt. But, with the powerful kingdom of Bouto, it won a victory that will be commemorated during the third millennium like that of Horus over Seth. With the victory of the Hathorians the cities of Panopolis and Coptos rebelled and took the lead in the political and religious revolution of all the fiefs of the South, spreading everywhere the worship of the popular god Min. The city of Nekhen then becomes the seat of the sovereign of Upper Egypt, no longer designated by the families of the feudal lords but appointed by acclamation of the people and with the support of distant Bouto.”

“This longa manus of Lower Egypt very quickly leads to confuse the god Min with the god Horus. The princes of Noubt are now the vassals of the new king and the new god. The king of Upper Egypt descends to Heliopolis to be sacred. Opposite Nekhen rises the holy city of Nekheb dedicated to the mother goddess Nekhbet, with the signs of the serpent and the vulture; the king of Upper Egypt adorns his white crown with the serpent of the goddess and his feast is renewed each spring with that of Horus-Min. During this feast, the king offers the god the first-fruits of these fields and immolates a white bull to ensure the fertility of the earth and the rebirth of life.

The original god Seth is now definitively dethroned; the times are ripe for a political and religious union after a thousand years of rivalry and isolation, but this great event is not, as all predicted, realized peacefully by Lower Egypt, but bellicose, by Upper Egypt. Indeed, the king of Nekhen, pushed by the council of the “Big Ten of the South”, gradually detached from the influence of the kingdom of Bouto, again in regression due to the individualistic nature of the cities of the Delta and the pressures exerted on the frontiers by the “people of the arc”, tribes of Western Asia attracted by the riches of Lower Egypt.

The king of Nekhen, finally, moved the capital to Abydos (This), and - on the pretext of freeing it from the grave threat - invaded the lands of the Delta. Each resistance center is drowned in blood; the very ancient city of Mendès is destroyed; Métellis, who tries to take the head of the final rebellion, is conquered and dismantled; and the ten most important citizens are beheaded by Narmer king of Upper Egypt, also red with the blood of his brothers killed. The 4th millennium is over, it is the beginning of the 1st dynasty and, with it, for us the Official History.”

>> Anons should keep in mind that these events happened way before the first dynasty = during the IVth millennia B.C. So a lot of people are not that familiar with this era.
