Isle Of Fire/ The Exotic Character Of Egyptian Myth

http://www.geocities.com/yewneserser/myth.html

Extractions: The Exotic Character of Egyptian Myth Egypt, protected on every side by deserts and seas, developed in safety and isolation for the three thousand years of its history. It never experienced invasion and the large-scale introduction of a new population as did Sumer, Greece, Rome and India, all of which were literally submerged by invaders who imposed their language on the populace. Egypt, like a tidal pool, untroubled by the nearby flow of history, developed as a static and pellucid world, neither experiencing nor exerting influence. The few exceptions to this rule, like the Hyksos invasion or the influence on archaic Greek sculpture, were just that, exceptions. Thus Egypt's mythology never developed in the extravagant way the others' did. From the start to the finish of its history, Egyptian myth was only concerned with the events of the Beginning, and reduced almost everything to two symbols: the sun and the grain. Like all peoples, the Egyptians envisioned a religious cosmos which mirrored the physical, and the central fact of life in cloudless Egypt was the course of the sun. Certain subsidiary images were drawn from the Nile. For example, the appearance of land from the Nile's subsiding waters seemed so well to express the rise of order from chaos that the pyramids were build as emblems of an original hill of land that surfaced from the waves of chaos. But nothing approached the rising sun in adequacy or completeness as an emblem of the creation. Second only to the sun was the grain on which life depended The the vicissitudes of the plant, yearly slain, buried and re-arisen, formed the pattern of the god Osiris, a type well known to us from Attis, Tammuz, Dionysus and Jesus.

Extractions: A Bantam Author Interview Q. Q. How can African mythology heal the trauma of racism? A. These stories allow people to make the transition from the victimization of racism to empowerment. When I looked at the historical experiences of African Americans, I saw a series of episodes, one slowly dissolving into the text: "Capture in Africa," "The Horrors of Slavery," "The Entrenchment of Racism," and "The Ongoing Struggle for Freedom and Justice" What I failed to see was the larger story into which these episodes might fit. It would be easy to focus on the atrocities of racism and oppression, and just as easy to claim that these events happened a long time ago and so should not affect us now. But I realized that these episodes reminded me of the epic journey of a hero or heroine, and it was this notion of African Americans’ "heroic journey" that first pointed me in the direction of mythology.
