" Egypt,
the only land that by the strength of it's religion
broght the Gods down to Earth,
model of holiness and piety.
As the Ba of the Gods were thought to inhabit the celestial realms ,apart and seperate from humanity, it is the devotion and love of the gods, through offerings and great monuments to Millions of Years that brings the divine essence down from the heavens to reside in the cult statues within the Temples, it is this that ensures the continuation of maat for all duration and all time.
Once the offerings and Temples became deserted, the Gods departed the sacred land and thus, as it was the Egytian state ceased to exist, bereft of it's Gods, the Hermeticum luridly desribes the fate of egypt when man no longer has the gods in his heart.
Consider the statement " homo fictor est deorum qui in templis sunt"
Man is the maker of the gods, in other words are the gods a fiction of mankind, a provocative statement , this occurs in a dialogue, asclepius acknowledeges, "confundo, O trismegiste, " I am confused2, Incredulous, he asks "statuas dicis", Do you mean the statues?, Yes but statuas animatis sensu et spiritu plenas, " statues alive with sensation and filled with spirit"
Once the rites are not carried out, the statues lose the divine essence and become as lifeless stone.
So it is today , lifeless stone, without the rituals and the rites, the Old ones ahve gone and Egypt is abandoned
