When we think of ancient Egyptian religion, the first thing that comes to mind is the Book of the Dead.
This document reflects the belief that life after death exists in a form similar to the present world, and aims for the dead to go to the afterlife to be judged and begin a second life.
However, this was different from the core content of the religion of the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs.

The original ancient Egyptian religion was centered around the Pharaoh, and much of the Book of the Dead is based on texts from the royal religion of the Pharaoh.
The Pyramid Texts, carved on the inner walls of the pyramids of the 5th and 6th Dynasties, are just such phrases.
Yet, no matter how hard I search, I can't find any mention of the king being judged after his death! The ancient Egyptian religion we know today is a later, popular recreation.
So what did the original ancient Egyptian royal religion look like?

Some argue that the post-mortem judgment was applied to priests, although this is not explicitly stated in the Pyramid Texts.
Therefore, it is argued that the idea of ​​being judged after death existed originally in ancient Egyptian religion.
But in ancient Egypt, the punishments applied to priests or commoners had nothing to do with the essential nature of the religion.
So what was the core of the true ancient Egyptian religion?

Many scholars believe that the ancient Egyptian religion, centered around the Pharaoh, also had 'funeral' at its center.
This is because the 『Pyramid Texts』 are considered to be funeral documents for a dead king.
However, the funeral rites of the dead king were only a part of the ancient Egyptian religious rituals and could not be considered the core.
The funeral was held in conjunction with the coronation of the new successor, and a closer look at its details reveals that the funeral was subordinate to the coronation.
In other words, the original Egyptian religion was not focused on the funeral of the dead king, but on the coronation of the new king.


In the funeral/coronation ceremony, the most important religious ritual of the ancient Egyptian royal family, the deceased king was identified with the god Osiris.
And the new king who ascended the throne assumed the role of Horus.
The most central part of the funeral/coronation ceremony, in which the dead king's mummy dressed as Osiris and the heir to the throne dressed as Horus played the leading roles, was a secret ritual called the 'Opening the Mouth Ceremony'.
So what was the content of this ritual? The essential nature of ancient Egyptian religious ritual, which I seek to reveal in this book, is as follows.

Adult Horus travels back in time to Osiris' funeral.
After becoming Horus within Osiris, he sacrifices his eye to resurrect Osiris.
He becomes part of Osiris' reproductive organs and revives Osiris' sexual powers.
Under his dominion the sacred union of Isis and Osiris takes place.
Through this, he is released as sperm from the genitals of Osiris and travels to the womb of Isis.
And eventually, he is born as a baby Horus, the grandson of the sun god, on the 'Primeval Hill'.
This birth of baby Horus was the culmination of the coronation of King Horus!

In this book, the author will thoroughly examine the process by which Horus united with Osiris, then ejaculated as semen toward Isis's womb, fought his way through Set's sperm swarm, successfully conceiving her, and ultimately attaining the position of supreme god, through thorough research into ancient Egyptian texts.
