    When roughly classed, the myths and legends generally show two points of departure for migrations of the human race, as these were rendered in the stellar and solar mythology. One is from the summit of the celestial mount, the other from the hollow underworld beneath the mount or inside the earth. The races that descended from the mount were people of the pole whose starting-point in reckoning time was from one or other station of the pole-star, determinable by its type, whether as the tree, the rock, or other image of a first point of departure. Those who ascended from the nether-world were of the solar race who came into existence with the sun as it is represented in the legendary lore… –from “The Exodus from Egypt and the Desert of Amenta” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs

    Are you tired of hearing people constantly complain and moan about a world problem, but offer you no solutions as to what you can do to help resolve this issue? 
    This might be from close friends or family constantly taking a negative view on this particular issue, or even from hearing about the problem on the news, but not hearing any potential solutions. 
    Can you tell what problem I am talking about yet? Of course, I am talking about manufactured scarcity. 
    Anyone who vaguely follows this topic will know that it is consistently increasing in the US, but many don’t know that it is also increasing across most other countries. 
    So, what can you and I do to help improve the situation? 
    The Power to Stop Any Illusion of Problems will help offer an insight into how these situations occur, in simple and understandable terms, so that you don’t get confused or demotivated by too much technical jargon. 
    It will then also show you ways that positive change can be made, rather than just telling you about all the negative impacts of scarcity and making you feel as though all hope is lost. 
    You will be amazed at the content included in this book, and the detail that is provided for you to digest. But what really sets this book apart from its competitors is that the information is so well presented and easy to understand.
