Annuit Cœptis: Providence Has Favored Our Undertakings

The Latin mottos weres suggested by Charles Thomson when he put together the final design for the reverse side of the Great Seal in June 1782. The date underneath the pyramid is that of the Declaration of Independence and the words under it signify the beginning of the new American Era, which commences from that date.

Why the fascination with Egypt??

The Templar Revelation by Lynn Pickett and Clive Prince

From the lack of a Galilean accent to the emphasis and implicit background of his parables, suggest Jesus had an Egyptian upbringing. The New Testament tells us that Mary, Joseph and the infant Jesus fled into Egypt to escape Herod’s wrath.

The Jewish holy book, the Talmud, does not refer to Jesus as either a native Galilean or as coming form Nazareth, but it does state dogmatically that he came from Egypt. Moreover, and perhaps most tellingly, the Talmud states unequivocally that the reason for Jesus’ arrest was a charge of sorcery, and that he was an initiate of Egyptian magic.

Eye of Horus: Egyptian Mythology – Brotherly/Sisterly Love

Osiris consorted his sister, the beautiful goddess Isis who governed love, healing, and magic – among other attributes. [Distasteful though such an incestuous relationship may seem to us today, it was part of the Pharaonic tradition, and seemed perfectly normal to any worshipper in ancient Egypt.] Their brother Set wanted Isis for himself, and plotted to kill Osiris. Osiris was surprised by Set’s henchmen, who dismembered his body and scattered the remains. Grieving terribly, Isis wandered the world looking for them, being assisted in her search by the goddess Nepthys, Set’s wife, who disapproved of his crime. The two goddesses found all of the body parts of Osiris except his phallus. Reassembling them, Isis used an artificial phallus with which she magically conceived the child of Horus.

Horus, now a young man, had a duel with Set which resulted in the latter’s death and left Horus with only one eye. The Eye of Horus became Egypt’s favorite magical talisman.
