In Zep Tepi, the ‘First Time’ it was a time of those who were later considered Gods. Osiris, Isis, Thoth and others were of this time. Osiris and Isis ruled for thousands of years.

Before scoffing at this idea, remember that in the Bible, many of the older stories talk of those who lived hundreds of years. Noah was supposed to be six hundred when he began the Ark, Methuselah lived for more than nine hundred years. There are a number of myths that tell of the time before the Flood as a time when men lived much longer lives.

Flood myths come from all around the world – a partial list is… | Sumerian | Babylonian | Hebrew | Australian | Chaldean | Zoroastrian | Hindu | Greco-Roman | Jicarilla | Mayan | Aztec | Squamish | Skagit | Mandingo | “People of Mount Jefferson” | Yakima | Cado | Chippewa | Navaho | Hopi | Pima | Andaman | Huarochiri | | Miao/Yao | Hawaiian | Batak | Scandinavian | Celtic | Yoruba | Kabadi | Gunwinggu | Wiranggu | Palau Isles | Tahitian | Samoan | Quillayute | Nizqualli | Kamu | Shasta | Cheyenne | Lakota | Tsetsaut | Papago | Toltec | Huichol | Malorotare | Yanomamo | Yamana | Yuma |

When Zep Tepi came to an end, there was a period, again of thousands of years, when a council of sages ruled, and this council finally ushered in the rule of the Pharaohs that Egyptologists state as being the beginning of Egyptian history.

Such things seem fantastic to our ‘worldly-wise’ ways, and yet millions of people around the world happily accept the existence of an invisible Creator who performed miracles and signs, with no more evidence than that the Church tells them it is true.

With all this talk of a Fall of Man, there is a corresponding tale of devastation and destruction, as Flood and Deluge wiped out the Golden Age. Yet behind all the physical world mayhem, there is another Fall talked about.

When looking at the spiritual side of Man, which after all is what this blog is about, there is also the Fall of our spiritual life – in biblical terms, the Fall from Grace. This is when we supposedly ‘fell’ from a state of spiritual awareness and entered into the materialistic world within which, we now are certain, all life is meant to be lived.
