The Ancient Future Re-imagined: Anuk Ausar

WE shall revisit the findings in the above essay soon. The writer deals with a lot of contemporary matters through the lens of the Ancient Egyptian worldview.

Here is an excerpt: “Ancient peoples did not view time so much as a linear string of dates as we do in modern society. They viewed time as cyclical. Every day thesun started a new cycle. Every year the seasons began a new cycle. Every lifetime a human or creature began a new cycle. Possibly they saw even longer cycles, as has been argued in many works claiming knowledge of the Earth’s orbital precession, cycling through the Zodiac every 25,000 years or so. And perhaps they saw the entire universe as being on a repetitive cycle. The Mayan calendar worked on a cyclical principal called the Baktun, which was 144,000 days, or about 400 years. The current Baktun ends in December of 2012. Some people would have you think the world will end because the Mayan calendar ends. Perhaps they should have thought of that in 1612 when they destroyed their civilisation. The Egyptians believed in both cyclical and linear time.
