Chapter 10: Who Wrote the Bible and Why? 405
Upsouranios and his brother Ousous consecrated two pillars, one to fire and one to
wind. These are the earliest forms of the Jachin and Boaz pillars representing
Adonis, god of the waxing year and the newborn sun, and Typhon, god of the
waning year and of destructive winds. The Hyksos Kings under Byblian influence
similarly converted their Tempest-god into Set.
In pre-dynastic times, Set may have been the chief of all the gods of Egypt, since
the sign of royalty which all the dynastic gods carried was Set’s ass-eared reed
scepter. The Egyptians also identified him with the long-eared constellation Orion,
“Lord of the Chambers of the South”, and the “breath of Set” was the South wind
from the deserts which, then as now, causes a wave of criminal violence in Egypt,
Libya and Southern Europe whenever it blows. The ass appears in many of the
anecdotes of Genesis and the early historical books of the Bible.
Egyptian texts and pictorial records are notorious for their suppression or
distortion of fact. It seems that the aristocratic priests of the “Establishment
Church of Egypt” had begun to tamper with the popular stories as early as 2800
BC. For example: in the Book of the Dead, at the Twelfth Hour of Darkness, when
Osiris’ sun-boat approaches the last gateway of the Other world before his
reemergence into the light of day, he is pictured bent backwards in the form of a
hoop with his hands raised and his toes touching the back of his head. This is
explained as “Osiris whose circuit is the other world”. It is supposed to suggest
that by adopting this absurd acrobatic posture, Osiris is defining the other world as
a circular region thus making the Twelve Hours analogous with the Twelve Signs
of the Zodiac. It is clear that a priestly corruption has been imposed on a more
archaic understanding. This posture represents Osiris who has been captured by
Set, and has been tied, like Ixion or Cuchulain, in the five-fold bond that joined
wrists, neck and ankles together. In other words, Osiris in this posture is an
economical way of describing the effects on him by the activity of the god of the
underworld, the serpent, Set who also appears as a Boar and an Ass.
We now have many more clues about the early formation of the religion of
Yahweh, including the description of the construction of the Pillars Jachin and
Boaz, historicized myths of the Bible, attributed to Solomon. We also see a
connection to the Peribsen rebellion followed by the emergence of the Cretan
civilization which was later linked to Judaism.
In the present day, the Jews celebrate their New Year in September of the year
around the time of the harvest. This is followed by the Feast of Tabernacles, which
is supposed to commemorate the fact that the children of Israel built “temporary
shelters” while wandering in the desert, the domain of Set. It is said that it was “in
the tent that God first tabernacled with man” during the Exodus. The Tabernacle
was a place for the meeting of God with man. The comparisons are so obvious I
don’t even need to point them out.
Now, returning to our most peculiar story of Jacob wrestling with the “man”,
following which he went south and did the whole “Tabernacles” thing, it is clear
that an ancient ritual drama has been historicized.
Certain ancient myths tell us that a battle takes place either between two
brothers, or between father and son. The battle ends when the elder king is
“wounded in the thigh”, or ritually castrated to symbolize his loss of potency. The
kingdom, represented by the queen, is then given over to the winning brother, or
