Mostafa Waziri, secretary-general of Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities, thanked God when he found a black granite sarcophagus in the bottom of a pit in Alexandria. He also said that the ‘world has not fallen into darkness’ after this discovery.
In recent past, Ministry of Antiquities of Egypt has curiously tried to show by doffing modern Egypt’s earth that it represents its ancient counterpart.
What was the versified position of the ancient Egypt? What the Egyptian mythology speaks on deep past of this country?
It was on the banks of the Lake Manasarovara from where King Manasseh was ruling; it was near the seacoast where Rama’s Bridge stood; and was neighbourly to the seat of Baal deities. The biblical past of this country did not differ from the historical accounts of Alexander’s own historians. Egypt’s ancient identity which is linked to Coptos refers to name of a bird; and a monastery. This historical identity should be pursued to reach at the truth.
Egyptian scholars or our learned Egyptogists do not know that Kalama who accompanied Alexander in his campaign against India was an Egyptian scholar; they do not know that eight Og-doad gods of Egypt were same as Astaroth of the Bible; they even utterly fail to connect ancient Egypt with Homer’s epics. City of Panchaia was called city of frankincense which was the seat of Pharaohs ; it was a place near Tanais. Biblical Sinai and Kadesh-barnea are geographically well connected with ancient Egypt and it needs to be found out from this literary explanations of its past. Modern Egypt’s scholars should read more on the history of ancient Alexandria which was known to ancient world as Alsanda, the royal seat of King Milinda. Name of Alexander is a combination of two ancient places : Alika and Sundar. This basic information on Alexander and Alexandria will provide immense scope to look at the ancient Egypt which was neighbourly to the Divine City of Troy and Jerusalem.
Journey of Moses with his Israelite followers from Egypt to Canaan traced a route in the Negev, same as ‘south’. What is the geographical connection between this ‘south’ and the Negev? What is the meaning of Palestine then? Why it is as same as Negev? What this Negev is all about?
Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities should explore its ancient counterpart in the region of the Negev near Rama’s Bridge only. For this let the scholars read the peripheral map of the ‘inhabited world’ of Ptolemy that represents the ‘first-land’ of human civilization.
