New York: Tor (2000); pg. 58. | "The Neolithic Revolution tamed wildernesses, fed suddenly large populations, founded the earliest towns, built the earliest smithies--and turned free hunters into peasant masses with god-kings above them. Scarcely were the Pharaohs of Egypt laid to their eternal rest than thieves plundered the tombs. When railroads later ran through what had been their domains, for a while the steam engines were stoked with mummies. " |

New York: Bantam (1997); pg. 185. | "He trailed after her through the Egyptian section, stood patiently while she stared at the frescoes or whatever they were called: whole walls cartooned with the ancient equivalents of X-Men, cartouches instead of semaphores narrating the story of gods and kings. It mean nothing to him. At length he followed her into a creepy room containing wooden sarcophagi that were painted in bright, fresh colors but disturbingly small in size; burial shrouds stamped with the secretions of human flesh; jars containing internal organs.

| Egyptian ancient religion | world | 2130 | Clarke, Arthur C. Rendezvous with Rama. New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich (1973); pg. 38. | "Never before had Norton felt so strongly his kinship with that long-dead Egyptologist. Not since Howard Carter had first peered into the tomb of Tutankhamen could any man have known a moment as this. Yet the comaparison was almost ridiculously ludicrous. Tutankhamen had only been buried yesterday--not even four thousand years ago; Rama might be older than mankind. That little tomb in the Valley of the Kings could have been lost in the corridors through which they had already passed, but the space that lay beyond this final seal was at least a million times greater. " [The 'Rama' in the title of this book refers to the name scientists gave to the extraterrestrial object they encountered in space. They named it after an ancient Egyptian god.] |
| Egyptian ancient religion | world | 2150 | Dick, Philip K. The Divine Invasion. New York: Timescape (1981); pg. 126. | "Zina told Emmanuel about an early identity that she had once had. Thousands of years ago, she said, she had been Ma'at, the Egyptian goddess who represented the cosmic order and justice. When someone died his heart was weighed against Ma'at's ostrich feather. By this the person's burden of sins was determined. The principle by which the sinfulness of the person was determined consisted of the degree of his truthfulness. To the extent that he was truthful the judgment went in his favor. This judgment was presided over by Osiris, but since Ma'at was the goddess of truthfulness, then it followed that the determination was hers to make... In those judgments of the dead, stemming from Egypt and Persia, the scrutiny was pitiless and the sinful soul was de facto doomed... |
