^ Didn't you have two or three other posts with a list of Egyptian inventions?? Why not rehash those? By the way, the 'Amen' of Egypt is different from the 'amen' said in prayers today.

Care to explain to me and others the difference?

I also would like to know the difference in the usage of Amen in Egypt & how it is in use at the end of prayers today.
I have my on theory on the matter. One being Egypt having laid down a firm theological foundation centuries before Christianity, in which other countries & religions borrowed from. Amen which was probably known by many people of the ancient world & worshiped esp. when Egypt was in ascendency & thus became the zeitgeist "God" for many being the idea of the universal "Hidden One". Just as many people today use the word God /Allah to describe the ineffable. Posted by Clint EastWood (Member # 16969) on :
Amen simply means water.
