Introduction
Inaugurating our new translation effort, we
deliver you interesting texts from Greek literature, making them accessible
across the world. This is an excerpt from the introduction at ISIS and OSIRIS of Plutarch by George Raptis. An astonishing theory!

Egypt in prehistoric and historic ages.
In this context, therefore, of the critical and
controversial attitude towards History, the definitive conclusions we have for
Egypt is that it is a country in the Mediterranean basin which, before the cataclysm
was inhabited (or conquered) by Greeks (Hellenes) and later by Minoan Crete
Greeks, after it experienced a brilliant way with the Pharaohs and the
expansion of its power in Africa and Asia, it was conquered by the Arabs, during the Alexandrian era it was conquered by Alexander the Great and
was ruled by the Ptolemaic kings. The roman era followed and, the rest of the
history is accurately known.
We shall confine ourselves to this general
introduction to the project "ISIS and OSIRIS ¨" handsomely to throw
our opinions (because the complete and thorough analysis is a matter of a separate history book).
The Greek (Hellenic) roots of the civilization of Egypt and the theory
of the right to left reading.
Thus:
1.
The name of the
ancient country of Egypt is Greek and has its paternity in Greek mythology.
Egypt (Aegyptus) was son Velos and Anghinoe, a descendant of Poseidon and
Livia, twin brother of Danaos.Etymologically, the word is probably complex
composed by the words Αιγιής + ύπτιος which means something like
stretched Aegean as an extension of the sea on the African continent remnants
of its bottom is the enormous desert with sand and shells (as referred by
Plutarch).
2.
Many of the names of
the first Pharaohs have etymological affinity or resemble to Greek names,
especially Minis or Menes or Men who took the initiative (according to the
Egyptian tradition recorded by historian Manetho) to unify Upper and Lower
Egypt, into a people that possessed productivity and resourcefulness in the
valley of the Nile, but lacked political instinct. The consolidation is
referred to have taken place around 3200 to 3000 BC and is associated with the
military conquest and political maneuvering of Menes, who built the city
of Memphis on the strategic spot where the Nile splits
and forms the Delta. The word Menes
leads to Minos of Crete, the Minotaur and the labyrinth that
architectural and construction exist in Egypt. Etymologically also the word
Pharaoh can be linked with the Greek word Φάρος =Pharos (name of the island initially at the shearwater of the gulf of
Alexandria – which is mentioned by Plutarch and Homer- and which at the
Alexandrian era was joined to the mainland due to silting.) Word that is comes
from φάος/phaos= light to designate the “enlightened”
ruler.
3.
A number of cities
(Thebes, Heliopolis, Apollonopolis, Hermopolis, Heracleopolis etc.) undoubtedly
have names of the Greek Gods. The word Israel
(determinative of the chosen people of God), which means the one that looks to
God, has an etymological affinity with the Greek language. The first
synthetic Is- means vision, knowledge and the
other two (ra-, el) are referring to the names of RA and Helios (Sun),
since God is the Helios (Sun of justice). So Israel is "the people who
know God Ra, the Sun," deified in all known religions of the East in
antiquity. The word Israel might have also been “suffered” the adventures of Istanbul, ie to be a corruption of the
phrase "rushes the Sun Ra=Israel” (εισορών τον Ρα-Ήλιον) just like “εις την Πόλιν” (is tin polin=gr. to the city) became Istanbul.
The theory of the right to left reading
If these mythological, etymological and
geographical approaches are not scientifically documented and convincing,
simply by touching the field of coincidence or a homophone, reading the names
of many other Pharaohs, gods, rivers, cities, etc. Reading from left to right
the Greek presence and naming is revealed, thus excluding the case of
coincidence, because it is repeated with great frequency.
Thus:
1.
Osiris
left to right syllabic is read Sirios (Οσιρις=Σίριος=Σείριος=Sirius). Isis respectively is the same. The
cities Radar and Karnak also. Osiris has all the characteristics of the star
Sirius!
2.
The
Ammoun Ra (the Ammoun Zeus,) is read from left Noummas. In Egypt, worshiped as
a god in ancient Greece Noummas is a mythical person or great sage who
civilized Rome. Noummas is known in the mythology of creation of Rome by
Romulus and Remus. After the fratricide, Noummas is referred as the second king (Pompelius) who taught in
Rome on the unnegotiable value of human life, coming to the city from the East.
3.
The
Pharaoh Djoser, manufacturer of the first
scalar pyramid from left to right is read Resos (Zoser=Ζοσέρ=Ρεσοζ=Ρήσος=Rhesus). Rhesus for the Greek data is the son of Oceanus and Tethys,
king of the Thracians, and he is mentioned in Homer's epics. (Pyramids perhaps
originally functioned as bastions with their levels and later evolved to
funerary monuments. Etymologically, the word can be produced from πυρ(pyr)+ αμάω-ω (amao) fire + lit undoubtedly have a relationship with light and
perhaps with solar energy. Ancient pyramids exist in prehistoric Greece, famous
is the pyramid of Taygetos (see picture below) in Arcadia and in other parts of
the world to America.
4.
The
river Nile from right to left is read Elin = El(l)in = Έλλην = Hellene. Maybe it
is the river that the Greeks (Hellenes) first sailed from its estuaries to its
sources. The Greeks – Cretans pioneers in their exploratory voyages, creating
trunk mounds in its nearly flat stream making the reverse floating possible, as
it is currently the in the Panama Canal. Or perhaps the river Nile was
described as a large tube, as it crosses a vast expanse of 7000 kilometers.
5.
Aswan,
the point with the highest waterfall of the river Nile, is read Nawsa (gr. Ασουάν = Νάουσα) . Etymologically in
Greek, the word indicates a place with lots of water produced from the verb ναω- ϖ =flow. Both Naoussa in Northern Greece and Aswan are
places known for their waterfalls. In Mesopotamia also the city A(s)wan lies on
the banks of the River Tigris. Namely in places with existence of many waters,
we have cities named Naoussa (Nawsa) in Greece and Aswan in Egypt and
Mesopotamia (Nawsa=Aswan). Does etymologically to the Egyptian language, the
word Aswan mean anything?
6.
The
Suez Canal, by the same logic, is read Zeus (Zeus=Suez).
7.
Port
Said is the Port Dias=Δίας=Ζευς=Zeus. Perhaps the Almighty King "of gods and mortals", at an
unspecified time in centuries, or his immigrant believers, immor-talized the
passage or the conquest of the region by naming the area (and wor-shiping him
as Ammon Zeus) to Egypt. Then again, it was to the left to right reading of the
Arabs in both naval and commercial centers (Zeus and Dias) that existed at both
ends of the Suez canal.
8.
The
city Serbal (Serbal-lambres=Λαμπρές) is related to a unique monument- a glow that
illuminates only during the equinoxes the sign of the base of a hidden statue
of the god, with metaphysical message.
9.
The
city Serib (Serib=Bires=Μπύρες (beer)) until now is the largest brewing
center. Aristotle records that "Greeks
get drunk with wine and the Egyptians with beer " Plutarch relates the
discovery of beer to Dionysus (who is identified with Osiris in Egypt) from the
plenty of barley that is produced naturally in the alluvial soil of the Nile
valley.
10. The city of
Thebes – Θῆβαι -
(plural) is the region with the many burials. From right to left reading
is Άιβηθ -> Άιδης -> Hades
hence the cemetery or the place of the dead. Maybe corrupted in pronunciation
is the oasis Siwa or Siva, where
the archaeologist Soulvatzi is looking for the tomb of Alexander the Great.
Moreover Thebe in ancient Greek means pothole.
