You know inother religous books you find prophecies regarding the future

What am wondering is did the ancient egyptians make any prophecies concerning the future?

The Bible [i.e. which is theEgyptian word for 'papyrus'] isan essential key to Egyptian History, especially the old Testament, of which there weremany prophets...[i.e. Samuel - Malachi].

According to scripture, many of the prophecies in Malachi---the last book of the old testament have yet to be fulfilled.

The priests of ancient Egypt were powerful magicians who practised the mantic arts for the kings and pharoahs and accurately predicted the course of Egypt's dynastic history. The rulers also occasionally received advice directly from the gods.


For example, about 1420 BC, when Thutmose IV was still a prince and had uncertain prospects for rulership, the god Harmachis-Chepera Re-Tenu appeared to him in a dream and promised that if Thutmose would clear away the sand that had accumulated around the Sphinx (the image of the god), he would rule over both North and South Egypt --- the entire land. Thutmose immediately set men to work at the task, and subsequently enjoyed the fulfillment of the god's promise.


Similarly, it was truly prophesied to Nut-Amon (circa 670 BC):
"All the land of the south is thine, and thou shalt have dominion over all the land of the north. The White Crown and the Red Crown shall adorn thine head. The length and breadth of the land shall be given unto thee, and the god Amon, the only god, shall be with thee."


The birth of Jesus Christ was foretold almost 2,000 years before the event by Chechepetresonbu, an Egyptian priest at Heliopolis during the reign of Sesostris II (1906-1887 BC) had a prophetic vision:
"The ideal ruler for whose advent he longs --- he brings cooling to the flames. It is said that he is the shepherd of all men. There is no evil in his heart... Where is he today? Behold, his might is not seen."


Nectanebo, the last king of Egypt, also was a prophet, astrologer, and Hermetic magus who used his skills wisely to prevent his assassination and to win the wars he fought. Eventually, however, he abdicated and left Egypt for Macedonia because the gods no longer would cooperate in his magical operations. In Macedonia, he earned a good reputation as an astrologer. He was consulted by King Phillip while Olympia was pregnant with Alexander. Nectanebo constructed a natal horoscope for the most auspicious moment of birth, and insisted to Olympia that she must not allow the child to be born until the moment he specified. At that time the earth quaked, the sky tore with lightning, and thunder sounded like cosmic drum rolls saluting the event. As the infant gave his first cry, Nectanebo announced: "O Queen, now thou hast given birth to a governor of the world."

Good question.

I've heard about the river Nile being depicted as the river of time but never thought about Egyptian prophecies... I think that Nile thing might be new age farf, try and link it tomorrow.

Peace

The most popular are the earliest Hermetic texts written after Egypt was conquerred by Greeks. It cursed the "City by the Sea" (Alexandria), and prophecied that the neteru were going to leave Kemet and the land would be desolate for many generations occupied by foreigners (which has been true to this very day), but that one day the neteru would return to Kemet and expel the long-time occupiers (not quite there yet).

I will be back with the exact quotes to post here, and find some earlier prophecies from actual Pharaonic Kemet. This is an excellent topic, but I must admit that part of my brain has cobwebs so I will have to refresh.
