Ancient Egypt has always been regarded as full of mystery and mythology. It is partly because it was one of the oldest civilizations in the world.

In the Great Pyramid of Egypt, the Ascending Passage is a narrow tunnel into the ancient House of Secrets. After a long climb, it emerges into the sublime Grand Gallery that connects the King’s and Queen’s chambers – to stretch a metaphor – balancing the male and female energies and partaking in both.

Egyptian Mysteries

The Pyramids of Giza have been the objects of many conspiracies over the years. Many people believe that the Pyramids are a link to an ancient lost civilization, and may still contain evidence to prove it.

Many conspiracy theories regarding secret chambers and passageways within the pyramids exist to this day. There are several holes and passages in the Great Sphinx at Giza. Some are of known origin but others are not.

The creation myths were also mysterious. According to Egyptian mythology, Khnum created the living creatures on his potter’s wheel. He modeled the animals, plants, and people of the earth.

The Principal Creator of God

A detailed description of how he created humans is found at Esna Temple. The principal creator god in Ancient Egyptian religion is the sun-god; in the Egyptian language, the word for sun is Ra, and this was one name for the sun-god, but he was also regularly called Atum, from the word to ‘complete’.

There have been many Egyptian Mysteries related to the Gods of ancient Egypt. As regards their religion, Egypt suffered from a superfluity of Gods and Goddesses. It has been said that an enumeration of them would result “in compilations resembling census returns.”

Herodotus tells us how a pharaoh of the 12th

dynasty undertook to build the Labyrinth as a temple to accommodate all the gods and found it necessary to construct no fewer than three thousand apartments.

Also, there were Egyptian Mysteries about beer. In the Coffin Texts (late 3rd millennium BCE), we find reference to a “beer god,” so important was beer to the ancient Egyptians another deity associated with beer in Egypt was the goddess Hathor, who along with the “official goddess of beer,” Tjenenet, shared this characteristic with her Sumerian counterpart Ninkasi.

It is interesting to note that the Sumerian word for beer is “ka,” while “ka” in the Egyptian religion refers to the “force of conscious life.”

Also, there were Egyptian Mysteries related to the mummy. The ancient Egyptians had perfected the art of mummification; the best technique took 70 days and involved removing the internal organs, removing the brain through the nose, and desiccating the body in a mixture of salts called natron. The purpose of the coffin from the earliest times was the protection of the body, preserving it from deterioration or mutilation.
