(In about 1350 B.C. it had been the tradition for far more than

a thousand years that Egyptian kings were entombed with such 
care, equipment, treasure, ritual, symbolic food, servants, etc., 
that they should expect eternal life. A king's tomb was commonly 
called his "eternal house." All Egyptian kings were gods. But

Amenhotep III became something very different. He became the 
incarnation of a concept which was new in the world. He became 
the living aspect of the universal creator god as seen through 
the sun, the discernable source of all life. He became Aten, and 
finally, Re. 



How does one create an "eternal house" for such a god?


A man of legendary repute appears to have been the great mind 
behind the above and following activity. This man was Amenhotep 
son of Hapu, the king's first minister, who described himself as 
"...useful in his ideas when he is looking for monuments to make
immortal the name of his lord..." It is my hypothesis that he: 


     1. Collected a population for a new nation from among
     Egypt's numerous Semitic serfs. 

     2. Isolated them at the ancient Hyksos and future Egyptian
     capital of Avaris. (The Biblical Raamses) 

     3. Gave them leadership -- Moses and Levites. 

     4. Gave them a history, laws, wealth, weapons, food, etc.,
     all of these to be seen as the gifts of the universal god
     who had chosen them. 

     5. Finally he (his deified king) gave them the actual land
     which they would need as a nation. This is why
     the son of Amenhotep III, Akhenaten, was supporting the
     invasion of Canaan. He was helping to create Is-ra-el, the 
     "Eternal House" of "Ra" "The Highest God." 


Is = tomb = eternal house. 

Ra = sun god = creator god = Amenhotep III. 

El = Canaanite highest god.
