The Memphis Theology of the Shabaka Stone

from The Forgotten Timeline · host Adidas Wilson

The source provides an extensive examination of the Shabaka Stone, an ancient Egyptian basalt artifact inscribed with the Memphite Theology. This episode, allegedly copied by the Kushite Pharaoh Shabaka around 710 BCE, asserts that the god Ptah created the universe through intellect (heart) and speech (tongue), superseding other creation myths centered on physical emergence or watery chaos. The document discusses the stone's historical context, explaining that its creation was a political act by the 25th Dynasty to legitimize their rule and elevate Memphis as the supreme religious and cosmic center of Egypt. Detailed textual analysis reveals the sophisticated philosophical concept of a logos-like creation and its integration of rival mythologies, showcasing its enduring legacy in comparative cosmology and religious thought."Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it".
