The pharaonic royalty seems to us an old vision of the organization of society.The organization of Egypt and its religion would have probably to evolve, if its tradition had not been stopped (personnal point of view, you can think diferent of course ) In french, if my translation is bad...if someone understand french ?!? Ma communauté française Ta noutri ne souhaite pas avoir un Nisut (un pharaon), parce que nous pensons que ce sytéme ne fonctionnerai pas dans notre société moderne. La royauté pharaonique nous semble une vision ancienne de l'organisation de la société. L'organisation de l'Egypte et de sa religion auraient probablement évoluer, si sa tradition n'avait pas été interrompue. (point de vue personnel, vous pouvez penser différement biensur).

I understood your English just fine, SatHouthor, and I agree with you. If the Ancient Egyptians and their religion had been an unbroken culture and faith through the ages, I imagine that it would have evolved as the society around it evolved, which probably would have meant that the monarchy would have been dissolved or moved into a purely symbolic role, much like the British monarchy has. The British queen is technically the head of state, but she has very little real governing power (though, theoretically, she can veto bills, but realistically she is just a rubber stamp) and holds the title of "Defender of the Faith", but has very little actual influence within the Church of England. I believe the Nisut-bity of Ancient Egypt, had the position continued to exist, would have become much the same in modern times, if the civilisation had survived. So I personally believe that a true Nisut in the modern Kemetic faith is unnecessary. I think of it more as having been a position of political prudence and "world's best practice" at the time, that is redundant in modern times. Post Extras:       Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | (show all)
