There are many mysteries associated with the ancient Egyptian civilization that researchers cannot yet solve. For example, why and for what purpose the Egyptians built pyramids and how the tradition of the mummification of the dead arose … One of the versions says that the inhabitants of Ancient Egypt simply tried … to become like the Atlanteans! But what does the mythical Atlantis have to do with it?
Contemporaries of the Atlanteans
We know that the pyramids served as tombs for the pharaohs. But was this what they were originally intended for? Even 150 years ago, scientists-Egyptologists had doubts about the validity of this theory. So, it is known that the Cheops pyramid was built over 30 years, and about 100 thousand people were employed in these works.
According to Arab and other sources, as well as ancient legends, the pyramids were built about 13 thousand years ago, and this just coincided with the heyday of the legendary Atlantis, described in detail by Plato.
Atlanteans are often associated with Ancient Egypt. After all, it was from the texts of the Egyptian priests that Plato learned about Atlantis. It can be assumed that there were some contacts between Egypt and Atlantis. The simplest explanation: when the mainland died, its surviving inhabitants moved to the African continent, namely, to the territory of Egypt. There is an even more fantastic option: the Atlanteans were aliens. Therefore, their civilization was so highly developed in comparison with the indigenous earthly cultures …
Most likely, the aborigines mistook the Atlanteans for gods, because they had much wider knowledge and advanced technologies than they themselves. The result could be a cult dedicated to the Atlanteans.
An indirect proof of this version is the strange fact that the Egyptian pharaohs called themselves the sons of the Sun and were considered the deputies of the deity on Earth, and also bleached their faces, wore wigs of blond hair and glued on false beards. When the pharaoh was dying, blue pebbles were put on his eyes … While most Egyptians are dark-haired, dark-skinned and brown-eyed, but in various cultures there are descriptions of white-skinned, fair-haired and blue-eyed gods …

Mummies await resurrection?
After the death of the pharaohs, the bodies were mummified. Internal organs were removed from them, impregnated with embalming compounds and, finally, carefully bandaged …
The English researcher Oliver Tyver believes that the ancient Egyptians were not at all so wise and "advanced", they simply blindly copied the lifestyle and actions of the "gods" - the Atlanteans!
For example, they saw how the Atlanteans, among whom there were probably also surgeons, operated on their patients. At first, they probably gave the patients something like anesthesia, then they began to dig into the internal organs, sometimes getting rid of some of them, and after the operation was over, they bandaged the patients and put them in a special place (in our opinion, an intensive care unit or intensive care unit). Perhaps, some especially serious patients were even artificially introduced into a state of suspended animation and sent to their homeland in a spaceship (if we take the alien version of the origin of the Atlanteans for the truth) …
The Egyptians could decide that all these manipulations contribute not only to recovery, but also to revive the dead. And then they began to imitate the actions of the Atlanteans: they mummified the bodies of the deceased pharaohs, placed them in capsule-sarcophagi, and the sarcophagi, in turn, in pyramids, which were copies of huge starships …
Path to heaven
Thus, the pyramids were not at all places of eternal rest. Those who found themselves there had to go to another world and be resurrected. No wonder, according to myths, the soul of the pharaoh first traveled along the Duat - an underground "secret place from where you can reach the Undying Star."
As the famous researcher Zachariah Sitchin writes in the book "Stairway to Heaven", the deceased pharaoh had to overcome 12 stages on his way. So, in the dungeon, he passed a series of tests, after which the goddesses began to prepare him for a heavenly journey. Together with them he left the pyramid and crossed the Reed Lake on the boat. Then he had to go through a gorge between the rocks and get into a kind of desert territory. According to modern sources, the area of this plateau was approximately 25 by 65 kilometers. Maybe it was about a cosmodrome? It is not for nothing that in the ancient Egyptian frescoes the "Heavenly Barque" of the god Ra stands on top of a round mountain or rises into the heavens, engulfed in tongues of flame. Isn't it a rocket?
At the last stage, the deceased ruler took a place between the two gods and ascended with them to heaven …
It is not known whether the Egyptians believed in the physical resurrection of the pharaohs, or it was only about the journey of the soul freed from the bodily shell … But if the version of "imitation" is true, then a lot falls into place.
