——The contest was with Moses and Aaron on one side. The priests in Pharaoh’s court were afraid of the other side. In order to make this Egyptian tyrant, Aaron threw his staff to the ground. As soon as it landed, it immediately turned into a snake.
Pharaoh was not scared and called his own wise men and wizards, "They were Egyptians who practiced magic, and they also used evil magic to do the same. They each threw down their staff, and the staff turned into snakes." However, Aaron's staff was filled with the power of the Lord, swallowed the mages' staff. In the second round of the battle, Moses and Aaron turned the Nile water into blood. Although this strategy was amazing, Pharaoh was still unmoved, because "Egypt's who practiced magic also used evil magic to do the same." "" The fastest update was the full text and hand-played
Then, Moses and Aaron created mosquito disasters, and the pharaoh's mages also used evil magic to continue to do so, but the mosquito disasters created by Moses and Aaron greatly defeated the pharaoh's mages. "Those who practice magic also used evil magic to give birth to lice, but they could not.
So there were lice on people and livestock, and they said to Pharaoh, "This is God's method."
The slim-hearted king refused to release the Hebrew slaves and was punished for this. Soon after, a plague killed most of his livestock.

Then, Moses created a sore disaster. The Exodus records that he raised a furnace of ashes into the sky, and created a sore disaster.
Then Moses used his wand to create hail plague and a locust plague, and made "Egypt darkness" for three days. Finally, the Hebrew prophet tried to kill "all the firstborns of the land of Egypt were from the Pharaoh who sat on the throne, to the firstborn sons of the captives, and all the firstborn animals."
After that, "the Egyptians urged the people to send them out of the land quickly, because the Egyptians said, "We are all going to die."
From then on, the Israelites began to escape from Egypt, and they spent a long and dangerous, magical time.
During this period, they made the ark at the foot of Mount Sinai, but they could only reach Sinai by crossing the Red Sea first. So Moses once again showed the power of his magic: Moses went to the red staff, and the Lord used the great east wind to make the sea water retreat overnight, and the water separated, and the sea became a dry land. The Israelites went into the sea and walked dry land, and the water made a wall on their left and right.
As everyone who has entered Sunday school remembers Egyptian pursuers followed the Israelites to the sea "down into the sea" and then: Moses went to the red rod, and when the sea was still restored, the Egyptians fled, and when the Lord overthrew them in the sea, the water returned, flooding the vehicles and horse soldiers. The entire army of Pharaohs who followed the Israelites into the sea, not even one of them was left, but the Israelites walked in the sea, dry land and water made walls on their left and right.
It can be imagined that the Bible once again emphasizes the power of God: although Moses fell to the red several times and caused the sea to "retreat" and "still recovered" it was God.
However, from ancient records, it can be found that Egypt's priests and wizards are said to have often made the sea and lakes obey them, so some people later felt a little difficult to accept by this one-sided statement in the Bible.
After all, the Bible itself is always a religious book. Even if it contains a lot of scientific knowledge, it is still difficult to avoid falling into the vicious circle of praise for God.
For example, an ancient document called "Huesca Pasta" was discovered in 1824 and recorded historical legends from the ancient Egyptian kingdom period in 2000 BC.
The above records a story from the early Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt, which was mentioned about 1500 BC in the age of Moses that there was a high priest named Chacha Em Anke in the court of Senefru Pharaoh.
One day, Pharaoh was sailing on the lake, "20 young virgins" accompanied him, all of whom were beautiful, with beautiful figures and slender limbs." One of the beautiful women dropped her beloved bracelet into the lake, but she was not aware of her heart.
However, the Pharaoh called the wizard, Chacha Em Anke: He recited a spell, causing the lake to overlap layer by layer, and found that the bracelet was on a broken pot at the bottom of the lake, and picked it up and handed it to the girl.
At this moment, the lake water was 12 cubits deep, but after Chacha Em Anke stacked one layer of lake water on another layer, the water depth reached 24 cubits, the mage thought speechlessly again, and the lake water returned to its original state and became what it was like before.
Although the story recorded in "Huesca Pasta" talks about other more trivial events, scholars still believe that many of the key points can only be regarded as surprisingly similar to "Separating the Red Sea Water".
In the eyes of scholars who study ancient history, an extremely Egyptian, ancient legend about magic undoubtedly shows that Moses is a master in creating huge miracles.
When studying ancient historical documents, it is necessary to assume that it is true, and then prove that it is false. If it cannot be proved, or if the information is insufficient, it is difficult to determine the authenticity. It is generally believed that this record is true and correct.
This is the attitude of doing science, and true scholars use this method to explore knowledge. If they deny certain knowledge with preconceptions, they will not be able to draw valuable conclusions no matter how they study it.
The reason is simple: a fool cannot read a good book
Butch, the white scholar, who served as the administrator of ancient Egyptian and ancient Assyrian relics in the British Museum, made the following comments: Moses is a master of magical ritual performances and knowledge of spells related to it...the miracles he created...
Butch also believed that Moses was not only a priest, but also a high priest.
In the process of civilization archaeology and knowledge exploration of ancient Egypt, ancient Chinese literature will be added relatively late, while Western scholars began to interpret ancient Egyptian civilization very early due to geographical location and historical reasons.
As we all know, Egypt now has nothing to do with ancient Egypt, it is just a geographical inheritance, but culturally it is another form and method.
This has also led to the difficulties of scholars in interpreting ancient Egyptian civilization, and the most important thing is: Is magic a secret science?
As a high priest in the Egyptian temple, Moses undoubtedly mastered a lot of knowledge of ancient Egyptian mysticism and mastered the semi-magical and semi-religious "science" that was secretly passed down in the priesthood.
Modern Egyptologists admit that there is such a knowledge, and through in-depth research, we can also know that Western scholars almost have no idea what this science actually includes.
This subject has been mentioned vaguely on the inscriptions of the tombs of the high-ranking monks in the temple, but the written records of this subject are almost missing. Most of its contents may only be passed down by word among enlightened people.
However, the academic community believes that the rest of it has been destroyed intentionally or unintentionally when the fire engulfs the Alexander Library, who can know how many academic treasures have been destroyed?
By the 2nd century BC, the Alexander Library had become famous all over the world for its collection of at least 200,000 scriptures and manuscripts.
But there is one thing that needs no reason to speculate: As Herodotus pointed out in the 5th century BC: "There are more miracles in Egypt than in any country in the world, and there are countless books in Egypt, more than anywhere else in the world."
The extensively traveled ancient Greek historian has achieved many achievements in his life. His works are still printed today. He made a correct evaluation of the ancient Egyptians, saying that they were "the first human being to invent the year and divide the year into 12 parts."
Herodotus also said that he had studied the magic secrets of Egyptian priests, but he immediately said that he could not or would not disclose his research results, which really made Eastern archaeologists helpless.
When Herodotus visited Egypt and left there, he had a clear impression that there were indeed some hidden secrets there, and these secrets were not just religious traditional quintessences and mysterious delusions.
Herodotus was neither the first nor the last person to experience this kind of experience
The ancient Egyptian culture initially relied on the application of some advanced but now lost scientific knowledge to reach greatness. Scholars have discovered that this is indeed the most long-lasting and common concept in human history.
This concept is equally attractive to impatient eccentrics or to sober and calm scholars.
It also triggered countless debates and criticisms, bold speculation and serious investigation.
Some papyrus and inscriptions even went further to describe them as the same god, or at least perform the same function
They often appear at the same time in the "Judgement Hall" of the heavenly realm at the same time. The souls of the dead are weighed on the "big balance" there. Osser is the judge and the last arbitrator here, and his status often appears higher than that of South; and South is only a recorder, responsible for recording the ruling.
However, many of the bookboards of The Dead have reversed the relationship with a large page of the papyrus on the tomb of Thebes during the New Kingdom. In this illustration, Oseres sat passively on the side, recording and reading the verdict issued by Souths
That is to say, South and Oseris are not only moon gods, but also gods of death, and both may also be brothers, and they are also legislators and judges.
During the investigation, although scholars of the Ancient Literature Society discovered these similarities with interest, they did not initially see any relationship between them and the ark of the covenant pursued by the scholars.
Later, these scholars suddenly realized that there was an irreversible connection between these two gods, and this connection also linked them conceptually with Moses and all his achievements: Like Moses, these two gods were first and foremost heroes of civilization, and they also gave the benefits and prosperity of religious law and social order to their followers.
Soth invented the words and science, bringing them to the world with many other miracles of enlightenment, so that Egyptian civilization can be improved and improved, the Egyptians also generally believe that Oseres played a key role in the evolution and development of Egyptian society.
When Oseres began to rule on the earth as a god king, Egypt was still in a state of barbarism and vulgarity, and the Egyptians themselves were still some barbarians.
However, when Oseres returned to heaven from Egypt, he left behind an advanced and highly civilized country. He made great contributions to Egypt, including teaching the Egyptians to reclaim land, plant grains and barley, plant grapes, and teach them to worship the gods and ask them to give up their former barbaric customs. He also made a law for the Egyptians.
Of course, such legends may have been fabricated. However, when thinking about the problem from a speculative perspective, scholars still want to figure out one thing: Egypt became a great country because of the benefit of Souths and Oseres. Is there still something beyond pure fantasy and rumors behind this legend?
Couldn’t this omniscient and omnipotent Moon God be a certain mythical version of the truth of history? Could it be a metaphor for a real person or group who brought the favors of civilization and science to a primitive land in ancient times?
If the disseminator of civilization had not heard that there was a huge mystery, a mystery that no one had ever given a clear answer.
In fact, Egypt's civilization did not go through a slow and painful period of development as expected, but seemed to emerge and fully developed.
No matter from any angle, the transition period from primitive society to advanced society is so short that it cannot be called a "historical stage". Some technologies should have gone through hundreds or even thousands of years of development, but they appeared almost overnight, and there seemed to be no prerequisites.
For example, there was no sign of any writing in the ruins of the dynasty in 3600 BC. Later, hieroglyphs were found in many ruins of ancient Egypt. It was not very good and could not be explained.
Not only that, these hieroglyphs are also extremely complete. These writing symbols are by no means simple pictures that depict objects and actions, but have a complex structural system, including sound-based symbols and detailed digital symbol systems.
Even the earliest hieroglyphs were stylized and stylized symbols. In addition, there is a clear historical fact: By the beginning of the First Dynasty, the Egyptians had already used an advanced cursive script.
What surprised everyone in all this was that there was absolutely no trace of transition between simple hieroglyphs and complex hieroglyphs, and the development of mathematics, medicine, astronomy and architecture in the ancient Egyptians was also the same.
In addition, the Egyptian religious myth system is amazingly rich and complex, but it seems that they have developed overnight. Even exquisite books like "The Book of the Dead" existed as early as the beginning of the dynasty period.
Unfortunately, there is no space here to list all or even just some of the information to prove that Egyptian civilization suddenly emerged.
At this point, Professor Walter Emore's authoritative insight, he was a professor of Egyptology at the University of London during his lifetime: During that period around 3400 BC, Egypt underwent a drastic change.
This country has suddenly developed from a Neolithic cultural state with complex tribal characteristics to a well-organized monarchy...
At the same time, written words appeared, and monumental architecture and handicrafts were also developed surprisingly. All this evidence shows the existence of a rich and prosperous civilization.
All these achievements were achieved in a short period of time, because these major developments in written and architectural art seem to have no background or background to speak of.
Scholars believe that one explanation for this phenomenon is that the sudden prosperity of Egyptian culture came from a known civilization in the ancient world, namely the Sumerian civilization.
Sumerian civilization is located in the lower Euphrates River in Mesopotamia. It is most likely the transmitter of Egyptian civilization. Moreover, although there are many differences between Egyptian civilization and Sumerian civilization, it can still prove that there are still many similarities in terms of architectural styles, and they remind people of the connection between the two places.
However, these similarities are not enough to conclude that this connection actually illustrates a causal relationship, that is, one society directly affects another
On the contrary, as Professor Emore pointed out, scholars believe that the connection between these two civilizations is indirect, and there may be a third civilization, whose influence spreads to both the Euphrates and the Nile...
Modern scholars often don't see a possibility that a presumptive undiscovered region may immigrate to the two regions mentioned above (the best explanation of the common characteristics and significant differences between Egyptian civilization and Suguanl civilization, but the third civilization spreads its cultural achievements to Egypt and Mesopotamia respectively.
This theory explains a seemingly mysterious historical fact: the Egyptians and the Sumerians in Mesopotamia actually worship the same moon gods, and in their respective divine spectrums, the moon gods belong to the oldest gods
China also has a history of Chang'e flying to the moon. Even in the ancient Chinese mythological system, Chang'e's status was very high until "Journey to the West" describes it as a dancer in the heavenly court.
Just like God Soth, the Sumerian moon god "Xin" also controls the function of segmenting time. "When the moon begins to shine on the earth, you should show two corners and set your plate into two on the seventh day, and on the fourteenth day, you should reveal your whole face."
Like God Soth, "Xin" is also regarded as omniscient and omnipotent at the end of the month. Other gods in the Sumerian divine list come to "Xin" to ask for advice and let him make a decision for them.
This correspondence between "Sin" and Soth is not just a coincidence. More than one person who intuitively realizes this is a famous Egyptologist, Sir E.A. Wallis Butch, also pointed out that the two gods are so similar that it cannot be accidental...
It is wrong to say that the Egyptians borrowed the Moon God from the Sumerians, or on the contrary, but we can speculate that the people in these two regions have obtained their respective theological systems from some very distant common source.
Therefore, the question is: What exactly is that "extremely distant common source"? Where is that "assumed undiscovered area"?
The advanced "third civilization" mentioned by Butch and Emereso, just reasoning, you will suddenly enter a state that completely confused you: human progress does not come from science and technology, but from religion, and science is just a tool of religion
This makes it easy to understand why Newton finally believed in God, because the existence and evolution of this world itself are crazy enough!
And God and the Ark of the Covenant themselves also have such an unexplainable connection (to be continued)
