    if you go to chapter 49 of Crowley's Confessions you will find that crowley cites that the Egyptian priesthood prophesised the aeon of Horus i.e. inherent in their IAO formula (wheer Apohis is Greek version of Set).

    Does this mean that they knew that monotheistic prophecy with all that that entailed was on it's way circa 4 B.C.? Did they know that monotheistic autocratic soecieties would fall apart in the 19th and 20th centuries ?

      Where did you get the idea that the priests knowing the IAO formula has anything to do with monotheism in the first place? I dont think either of your hypotheses are what Crowley had in mind. Amenhotep had the idea of monotheism B.C. (before Christ) as did many others... And what exactly does IAO have anything to do with 'monotheistic autocratic societies' anyhow?

        Yes. What is the connection?
        A sacrificed god or demigod that is killed and rises again in three days (moon), is a prevailing theme in a lot of religions.
        The commandment said to worship YHVH and put no other gods before him. Didn't say there weren't any other gods. In fact, the opposite.
        In L.V.X.,

          The thing to recall is that all religions were 'monotheistic.' With the different Gods being understood as differing facets of the 'unknowable God.'

          At least, in the esoteric sense.

            have you got the Confessions? chapter 49? it's online by the way

            it's not "my" idea that's why i'm discusing it on this site

            the idea we are discussing is Crowley's observation that the Egyptian priesthood predicted the aeon of Horus

              This is so historically and anthropologically inaccurate it hurts.

              Have you ever heard of polytheism?

              Have you ever heard of Amenhotep? Were people very nice to his idea at the time? (short answer: no)
