This is, this is the part where it gets spooky is the very makeup of of the part of Egypt that is alive is in the shape of a lotus flower.
How much more fitting could it be? And in the Nile Delta, where that flower is blooming, that's where all of the lotus flowers grew in abundance, was in that delta. So the Nile itself.
You see it immediately. The Nile itself is the single most unique makeup of a country in the entire world. And it is symbolic. Not only is the flower itself symbolic of ancient Egypt, it's the symbol of Egypt that the Egyptians used to identify themselves. They may not even have realized, but it was by some divine appointment. That the landscape itself is in the shape of a flower.
And that flower blooms out into the Mediterranean. And all of these cultures around the Mediterranean are influenced by this culture. You know, it's this, you know, I would be very slow to ever say that I think that the Egyptians knew this. the shape of their land.
Although, you know, maybe they, maybe they did, but if they mapped it all out and understood, but you know, they probably didn't see it from the satellite image, but it's one of these things that makes me think like, whoa, is there a, is there a divine aspect of this? Like. I bet they did, man. divine aspect that their land is in the makeup of the flower.
The flower is the single most important central key to their civilization. It's just profoundly deep mystery here that I've never seen anybody talk about. That's cool. But so this is, if you go back to the paper.
Well, yeah, they certainly had maps. I just wonder, you know, we don't have evidence of the map. Well, we have evidence of some maps, but not like of an entire, you know, their entire country or whatever. So here we have, next is Shape of the Nile.
So from satellite imagery, the Nile spreads out like the head of the lotus flower, growing out from a long stalk and blooming into the Mediterranean, just like their knowledge did. It bloomed out into the Mediterranean and thus spread to the rest of the world. So I put coincidence? What is the likelihood
that this flower that is unique to Egypt, the flower they depicted most by far on their temple and tomb walls would also be reflected in the landscape of Egypt from space. Egypt is the single most unique country geographically on the entire planet. Next, we have Gift of the Nile. The Greek traveler Herodotus around 450 BC famously wrote that the Egyptian civilization is a gift from the Nile.
It was a unique and enormous oasis protected by monuments and deserts on both sides, continually fertilized by the black soil carried in from the river itself. So it's seasonally inundated. So So the Nile River was seen by the Egyptians as the center of the world and life itself, while the flower was symbolic of life itself, while the Nile River itself is also in the shape of the lotus flower.
It's just a profoundly deep thing, right? Yeah. And so I just... It made me... And this all came from the Minoans depicting that flower on that mortar and pestle bowl. And it made me think, so maybe it's the Minoans that tip off to us what exactly this was being used for. It had some kind of psychedelic purpose. It had a profound psychological effect on the Egyptians. It was a sexual stimulant.
The chemical, the apomorphine that's used in that is what's used to treat Parkinson's disease today And it's also used in Viagra. So it's like this wonder drug for the Egyptians that I think, depending on how you brewed it or how you aged it and how you consumed it, had different effects on you.
And on top of all that, they start messing around with it because it's rising every day and going back into the water to worship the sun. So it's this core central aspect of ancient Egypt. Have you ever heard an Egyptologist talk about it though before? Never, no.
Right, right, yeah. And I have seriously dived deep on trying to find a deeper meaning to this flower. And it's like it's just brushed off, you know? Even when I'm in Egypt, so the Egyptologists I talk to, they don't really care too much about, you know, the... purpose of the flower or what the deeper meaning is or why it's on the temple columns. Here's an idea I had.
I don't know if the evidence stacks up. It's just hard to find the evidence researching this, especially on my own. One thing I had thought, the first thing that struck me was
During the Christian era of Egypt, when people were going to sleep in the temples, they're going, they're sleeping in the temples and they're hoping, these are pagans, not Christians, they're going to sleep in the temples and the priests that are there would take some kind of offering or whatever and they'd set out this little sack for the people to sleep on.
And I should say, this is maybe around 300 BC that this is happening. Supposedly it's based on ancient practices, but we don't really know. We don't even know what's going on in Egyptian temples, by the way. Like this is off limits. Normal people couldn't go, you know, your regular Egyptians couldn't really go inside of the temples.
Maybe every so often on a sacred parade or something like that, you might be able to go in it once a year or once in your lifetime. but it was closed off just for the priest. And there was an area that was closed off for the Pharaoh himself in some temples, like at Luxor Temple, or I think there's an area of Carnac Temple as well.
But during the Christian era, these priests that are still holding on to, and maybe even the early Roman era, they're still, as they say, they're holding onto these ancient practices. And they bring people into the temple a certain part of it, and they'd set out these little beds or mats or whatever.
And you could lay down inside of the temple underneath the night sky that was painted on the temple wall. And when you slept in the temple, the God would come visit you in your dream and would help a woman conceive a child or help somebody with their illness or ailments.
