ONE BIRD FLEW OVER By Andre Austin The Egyptian BenBen Bird Noah’s Ark Dove Jesus baptism bird and the Eagle on Judgment day all have a common origin. Its missing link to be found in Egypt. Four Exhibits will attempt to piece the puzzle together. Exhibit A: Benben Bird The Benben bird was symbolic of regeneration, the pyramid, the first to get ray of light and to appear after the original flood story after the birth of Re/Atum-Ra. 8 (Ogdoad) deities gave birth to the second Atum/Adam (9th The Ennead). The Nile flood was 15 cubits. Atum sits on top of hill/pyramid with light shining. Exhibit B: After Noah’s flood which was 15 cubits deep a Raven (darkness) then a Dove (Love/Light) appeared to see plant life on land (olive leaf). In the Ark 8 souls gave collective birth to Canan (9th Ennead) who is symbolic of Re/Atum-Ra. The Ark sits on top of a hill. Exhibit C. Jesus baptism is linked with Noah (1 Peter 3:20-22). Jesus is dunked underwater and comes back up with a Dove (spirit/light) appearing above his head (Matthew 3:16-17). Jesus did this once before as the sprit hovering over the waters in genesis. Jesus is the second Adam/Atum (1 Cor 15:45-49) and the Eagle appears for the resurrection of the dead on judgment day. Exhibit D: The Eagle Judgment day Jesus comes like Noah (Luke 17: 26-37). Jesus advises souls to be on top of a housetop (An ark/pyramid/hill). In other texts he advises souls to have a lamp/candle (Matthew 25). Jesus says don’t be afraid to loose life. In Greek this would have been Martyr/pyramid. The last sentence of Luke 17 talks about an Eagle over body. Eagle is describe in Psalm 103: 1-5 as redeeming life, regeneration just like the Benben bird. This is the perfect description of Egyptian Atum/light (Adam/Canaan) coming out the flood appearing on top of a hill/housetop after creation/rebirth with birds hovering in the air above them. I would have to conclude all four exhibits share the same motif and its missing link was original written down in hieroglyphics in Egypt.
