| “ | The LORD of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: I will punish Amon, the god of Thebes, and all the other gods of Egypt. I will punish its rulers and Pharaoh, too, and all who trust in him. | „ |
| ~ Jeremiah 46:25 |
| “ | The tempest moves aside for the sailor who remembers the name of Amon. The storm becomes a sweet breeze for he who invokes His name... Amon is more effective than millions for he who places Him in his heart. Thanks to Him the single man becomes stronger than a crowd. | „ |
| ~ Leiden Hymn to Amun. |
Amun, also known as Amon, Amoun, Amen, Amoon, or Ammon, known as The Invisible One, was a major deity of ancient Egypt. He was worshipped as a sun and creator deity, notably in the city of Thebes. He is the consort of the goddess Mut. He was also known as the reconstructed Egyptian Yamanu.
Appearance[]
He is often represented as bearded man wearing a cap surmounted by two tall plumes made of red ostrich feathers usually seated on a throne holding the ankh on one hand and the was scepter on the other.
Overview[]
During the latter part of the eighteenth dynasty, the pharaoh Akhenaten disliked the power of the temple of Amun and advanced the worship of the Aten, a deity whose power was manifested in the sun disk, both literally and symbolically. He defaced the symbols of many of the old deities, and based his religious practices upon the deity, the Aten. He moved his capital away from Thebes, but this abrupt change was very unpopular with the priests of Amun, who now found themselves without any of their former power. The religion of Egypt was inexorably tied to the leadership of the country, the pharaoh being the leader of both.
When Akhenaten died, the priests of Amun-Ra reasserted themselves. Akhenaten's name was struck from Egyptian records, all of his religious and governmental changes were undone, and the capital was returned to Thebes. The return to the previous capital and its patron deity was accomplished so swiftly that it seemed this almost monotheistic cult and its governmental reforms had never existed. Worship of Aten ceased and worship of Amun-Ra was restored. The priests of Amun even persuaded his young son, Tutankhaten, whose name meant "the living image of Aten"—and who later would become pharaoh—to change his name to Tutankhamun, "the living image of Amun".
During the Ten Plagues of Egypt, God had cursed Amun and other Egyptian deities, since they had allowed the Pharaoh to enslave the ancient Jews, His people. It is believed that the fallen angel known as Abezethibou was the culprit who hardened the heart of the Pharaoh in order to remove the Egyptian pantheon out of the way for the Illuminati to advance forward with their plan of a New World Order.
