🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Sacred Journey Through Time and Light
"ANCIENT EGYPT – A Photographic History" by 'Nigel Fletcher-Jones' is not merely a book — it is a portal. Each photograph radiates with an energy that feels ancient and alive, as if the stones, statues, and hieroglyphs themselves are whispering forgotten truths through the lens. Fletcher-Jones captures not only the majesty of Egypt’s monuments but the very soul of a civilization that danced with the divine.
When we talk about Egyptian civilization we do not just talk about today's country of Egypt but the essence of the region which premised the civil values, cultural impact and ruling powers over the span of geographical area that holds the historical events connected to one thought of living. Civilizations, those who thought were eradicated, were actually transformed from the effect of another one that predates it or lined-in succession after that with different living styles and in some other area of land. Some were completely isolated but one like Indus valley and Egyptian civilizations were not just evolved with greater knowledge but inter-connected in terms of trades, rules, civic sense and eateries and their cooking. Not to forget that 'Ptah' was actually from Sanskrit word "Pitah' meaning Father and "Ma'at" comes from another Sanskrit word "Mata" meaning Mother. This shows enough of Influences of Indus valley civilization on Egyptian Civilization. Only difference is that all civilizations were counted extinct due to either their forced conversion to some brutal forces or erased due to their habit of not accepting the required changes as per cycle of time, only except the Indus valley civilization, which is still alive with timely adapted changes in the form of epoch old Hinduism, which still practice the age old methods of living and evolving through all periods.
As I wandered through the pages, one thread called to me above all — the legacy of the Kushite kings. So often overlooked, yet here their presence is felt with reverence. Mystics and seekers have long spoken of deeper connections between civilizations, and in this light, the Kushite lineage reveals something extraordinary: they are, for facts, believed to be the descendants of King Kush, son of God Ram — none other than Lord Rama, the avatar of Vishnu in the Hindu tradition.
Beyond its academic depth, this book opened an inner gate. As I meditated on the golden thrones of the Kushite pharaohs, I was drawn to a deeper realization — one echoed in the teachings of ancient rishis and esoteric initiates. The kings of Kush, guardians of Nubia and renewers of Kemet’s divine flame, are remembered in certain Vedic and mystic traditions as the descendants of King Kush, the son of Lord Rama, the avatar of God Vishnu. For reference, King Rama, born in the solar dynasty (Suryavansh), is said to have sent his sons across distant lands — and in this mythic vision, the Nile and the Saraswati are not so far apart.
This idea is more than metaphor — it is vibration. The iconography of Egypt, from the solar disc of Ra to the sacred serpent Uraeus, aligns strikingly with yogic symbolism: the kundalini, the trinity of energies (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva / Osiris, Horus, Set), and the concept of divine kingship as 'Dharm' in motion.
In other words, this insight weaves a golden thread between the Nile and the Ganges, suggesting that these ancient realms may have once shared not just trade, but sacred knowledge, cosmic origin stories, and divine bloodlines.
This book is a work of art, a spiritual artifact in itself. For anyone who feels the call of ancient temples or the pull of celestial ancestry, ANCIENT EGYPT – A Photographic History will stir your soul and awaken your imagination. Photographs were so amazing and self-explanatory at most points.
