Book Excerpt
Egyptian cosmology is based on coherent scientific and philosophical principles, of the universe as a whole. The totality of the Egyptian civilization was built upon a complete and precise understanding of universal laws. This profound understanding manifested itself in a consistent, coherent and inter-related system where art, science, philosophy and religion were intertwined, and were employed simultaneously in a single organic Unity.
For the people of Egypt, there were no perceived differences between sacred and mundane actions as we moderns believe there to be. Every action, no matter how mundane: plowing, sowing, reaping, brewing, building ships, waging wars, playing games, system of weights and measures - was viewed as an earthly symbol for a specific divine activity. No aspect of their knowledge was divorced from any other aspect, which makes writing this book, in isolated subject matters, for modern readers, a difficult task.
The Egyptians regarded the universe as a conscious act of creation by the One Great God. The fundamental doctrine was the unity of the Deity. This One God was never represented. It is the functions and attributes of his domain that were represented. Once a reference was made to his functions/attributes, he became a distinguishable agent; reflecting this particular function/attribute, and its influence on the world. His various functions and attributes as the Creator, Healer, and the like, were called the neteroo (singular: neter in the masculine form and netert in the feminine form). As such, an Egyptian neter/netert was not a ‘god/goddess’ but the personification of a function/attribute of the One God.
