Comparing Mayan mythology to Egyptian, one finds uncanny similarities.

In Egyptian mythology, Osiris was creator and first ruler of Egypt. He was popular with his subjects, but his brother, Seth, was jealous of his popularity, plotted against him, deceived Osiris and killed him. Seth then cut the body into 14 pieces and spread the pieces throughout Egypt.

When Isis (wife of Osiris) learned her husband was killed, she searched Egypt looking for his body parts. She found all but one part, and using magic she put his body back together and wrapped him in bandages. During the process of putting him back together, Isis breathed life back into Osiris' body and became impregnated, conceiving their son Horus.

The young Horus went out to battle his uncle Seth and avenge his father's death.

After a series of contests and battles, neither god was able to secure an overall victory. Ultimately Osiris was declared king of the underworld, Horus king of the living, and Seth ruler of the deserts as the god of chaos and evil.

Horus eventually avenged his father's death by killing his uncle Seth.

Horus became the god of the sky. One of his eyes is the sun and the other is the moon. Both are seen each day and night when, as a falcon, Horus flies across the sky.

One fascinating notion is that both the Egyptian and Mayan account described in this video could possibly have been derived from a more ancient source.

Even more remarkable parallels have been found between Mayan mythology and the biblical account of creation in the book of Genesis. You can find that video at: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1248683/in_the_beginning_hurac_n/

  • @nightfireivey i'm not sure as to the authors status..... but the book is really informative... you should also try "Black Spark, White Fire"

  • @CoachDaKingMRP Yeah, its odd that such amazing information like that comes from low-rate sources/authors.

  • @nightfireivey to be honest I was shocked to see the book in barnes and noble just two weeks ago..... surprised the hell out of me...

  • @CoachDaKingMRP Actually, It is called "The Origins of the Ancient Egyptians". That book you've referenced sounds really interesting. Anywhere I could happen to grab it?

  • @nightfireivey would that book happen to be called "Riddles of the Sphinx"? I read the book and it showed remarkable similarities between the Egyptian, Incan, Mayan, and Aztec legends and even languages.....and of course it had a lot to say about the Great Flood and massive crust displacement......as well as monolithic stone building...

  • @RedDragon033195 exactly the same thing i've been telling people since i was a 13..... jesus is a plargiarized heru(horus) and satan is a plagiarized amalgamation of setuhk(seth)/apep(apophis)

  • No yhis is false we all now chuck norris did all that

  • @ANKHRASET what does that have to do with the video we just saw?

    Serious question! Im not trying to be rude. I just didn't see any racial tension anywhere

  • TAHARKA RULED OVER AMERICA, AFRICA, & ASIA

    ANY PHARAOH WITH TUT, IN THEIR NAME RULED THIS WAY, AS WELL.

    IT MEANS TRANSMIGRATOR
