Religion

The Resume

    Born in Egypt
    Religion of ancient Egypt
    Possibly dates back as far as 3,000 BC
    Well known for its tombs/pyramids, art, and literature/mythology

Why Kemetic might be annoying:

    It was a false religion. Isis, Horus, and the rest of its gods didn't exist.
    It taught that the Pharaoh was a god putting its followers into bondage for thousands of years.
    Movies have given a false impression of it. For instance, there is nothing in its teachings about mummies coming back from the dead.
    Perhaps, not surprisingly, there has been a revival in its practice mostly among American 'New Age' followers.
    It didn't actually have a name. Kemet is an ancient name for Egypt and was assigned to it by modern scholars for identification purposes.

Why Kemetic might not be annoying:

    It united Egypt for centuries, leading to the most advanced civilization of its time.
    It WAS ancient Egyptian culture with its advanced art, literature, architecture, and even its calendar.
    It has fascinated outsiders for thousands of years and will continue to do so until the end of time. Unlike the Baptist or Pentecostal religions or twentieth century American culture for that matter.
    It was destroyed by the rise of Christianity and later Islam.
    The worship of Isis spread far beyond Egypt and the rest of the religion itself during the Roman Empire with temples dedicated to Isis being founded as far away as Great Britain.
