SHOW REPLAY 2022-08-13-Marvin D. Jones-Honegger-Lambert -- The American Presidency: A Deep Dive…

The Other Side of Midnight

Show Page: Alternative Listening: "Oh ! thou, my defender, Osiris, great god, lord of To-Eri ... president of Abydus ... investigator of the heaven, lord of Neutchiu, king of the gods ...." -- "Ancient Egypt" (1848) George Robbins Giddon So begins an ancient hymn to Osiris ("Orion" to the Greeks) at Abydos -- mythic burial place for the physical head of the Ancient Egyptian "king [pharaoh ...] of the gods"-- Osiris ... "president." Another precient title-- "Foremost of the Westeners" -- an Osirian appellation originally attached to the dying of the sun each evening in the west, before it was "reborn" in glory in the east as Orisis' "son," Horus -- thus connecting Osiris, the god of "death and resurrection," as "the president of the Westerners," to all the kings who "passed on" to the Afterlife after him ... each to be symbolically "reborn" in the reigns of their "Horus-king" successors .... The President -- Osiris AND Horus .... This fundamental (but essentially unknown!) Ancient Egyptian foundation for the American presidency, only emerged into full view with the public dedication of the Washington Monument in 1885 -- a 555-foot-high, blatantly "Egyptian" obelisk to the First American "Osiris" ... George Washington. Prelude to tonight's "very deep dive" into the orgins ... and Destiny ... of the American Presidency itself: connecting our very First Osiris to ... "the latest"-- Donald J. Trump.
