A people lived once fair and true,
There was many things that the people knew.
These ancients are gone, but their knowledge remains,
Not lost but showing yellowed stains.
These teachings have weathered with time and age;
But more is to be learned at the turn of a page.
The Egyptian people had much to be shared.
For their Gods and Goddesses many sacrifices were prepared.
All of these Gods had a job as any other,
They were lead by Re, sun god and Pharaoh's father.
From the Gods, learned the Egyptians of many things,
Of life and beyond, wherever us our goodness sings.
Many of our stories can be traced back to their home and,
Their beautiful Isis was also praised by Romans.
They have many things to teach those who will hear,
For those who will lend the Ancients an ear.
For though they tell the tales of what happened long before,
This world in which we live today resembles it more and more.

The Ancient Egyptians believed that their Royal family was descended from the Gods. The Emperor was considered to be a direct descendant of Re, the sun god. The creator of all things was either Re, Amun, Ptah, Khnum or Aten, depending on which version of the myth was currently in use. The heavens were represented by Hathor, Bat, and Horus. Osiris was an earth god as was Ptah. The annual flooding of the Nile was Hapi. Storms, evil and confusion were Seth. His counterpart was Ma'at, who represented balance, justice and truth. The moon was Thoth and Khonsu. Re took on many forms, and transcended most of the borders that contained the other gods. The actual shape of the sun, the disk (or, aten), was deified into another god, Aten. Isis was the mother of Horus and consort of Osiris. She became worshipped through the entire Roman Empire in later years.
