Re: THE BOOK OF THE DEAD DOES NOT CLAIM THE LINE O

the titles king of kings, and lord of lords can be found in the Book of Coming Forth By Day and in the Nile Valley tradition these titles are applied to rulers - I sight Haile Selassie continuing this tradition from antiquity which is far more ancient than the biblical co-optation of these titles. Do I know whether David and Solomon were real - no. Do I question their existance based on what I have found about the historical accuracy of the bible vs. what is allegory and legend – yes.

I do not fall into the line of thinking though that there is a contradiction here though. The titles such as king of kings, lord of lords were applied to the characters in the Book of Coming Forth By Day – such as Osiris – and then applied to the physical living rulers of the lands who was invested with these powers through the invocation of the names. I think if there is an overstanding of that point then the titles of Haile Selassie comes into a new context. The dependence is not then on whether the characters in the bible are real or not because the whole context has changed to include lineages, cultural practices, etc. that are far far older. It is through this lense then that I sight Rastafari.
