“‘The objective idea’ of Hegel is nothing but the word (of Ra) of God, without God, a mythicized version of the Judeo-Christian religion, as Engels remarked.”

“Then, Ra creates the four divine pairs, according to Heliopolitan cosmogony:

1. Shu and Tefnut = air (space) and humidity (water).
2. Geb and Nut = earth and heaven (light, fire).

“In these first two pairs are found the four elements that make up the universe of the Pre-Socratic Greek philosophers (Thales, Anaximander, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Anaxagoras), namely, air, water, earth, fire; even Plato will still adopt them.

3. Osiris and Isis: the fertile human couple that will beget humanity (Adam, Eve).

4. Seth and Nephthys: the sterile couple that will introduce evil into human history; there is no notion of original sin here; evil is introduced by men, not by women; there is no pessimism, nor misogyny, typical of the Aryan-Semitic nomad societies.

“In conclusion, an idealistic (or spiritualistic) component is introduced in to Egyptian cosmogony with the appearance of the demiurge Ra, and it is the basis for the concepts of the Greek idealist school (Plato, Aristotle).”
