Out of Africa The Ancient Egyptian Connection

Out of africa The Ancient Egyptian Connection is a book about two journeys: the soul's journey from spiritual sleep to awakening and its journey within this awakening. The first of these has been well-documented, the latter equally significant, is rarely mentioned -- perhaps because most of us have little or no experience with it. It eludes ordinary comprehension. In this two-volume work, author-publisher Gilbert Moore attempts to reconstruct the nature of those journeys from the fragmentary evidence left behind in two sources -- the so-called Book of the Amduat inside the tombs of Thutmosis III and Ramses VI and the less well-known Book of the Two Ways duplicated inside the lids of thousands of coffins of Ancient Egyptian nobles. Standing on the shoulders of two giants of Egyptology -- Alexandre Piankoff and Richard Faulkner-- Dr. Moore takes the unprecendented and daring step of mapping onto the sacred texts themselves the schema of the cartoon-like stick figures depicted on the tomb walls. Enigmatic until now, the text and images suddenly become transparent, voices can be heard. And then as if this were not radical surgery enough, the author identifies and decodes the voices. Nothing so controversial in its implications has been done before.
