It seems that many people who study the ancients simply
take the religion as a given. Perhaps Amon or Hathor or
even Re came down fron the duat to explain to mortal man
how the world came to be and how to best show their app-
reciation for their creators but the lack of people who
believe in this ancient religion will assure there are few
among us who subscribe to such a theory.

There are biblical scholars of both religious and other
stripe who can give a reasonable accounting of the basis
for most forms of christianity. Most religions are rea-
sonably well understood in how, when, and why they arose.

It's true that this is a very ancient belief structure
which predated writing but isn't likely there were real
world causes which led to it?

Isn't it a virtual certainty that the religion evolved
even before writing was invented?

Most importantly, are any of these early causes known?
