Egyptology serves to be a major branch of archeology which is the ancient study of Egyptian history, literature, art, religion and language from the V millennium BC to the end of the native religious activities in IV century AD. The very first Egyptologists were considered to be the ancient Egyptians. The very popular Thutmose IV helped in restoring the Sphinx with a dream which inspired restoration carved on Dream Stele. After about a period of two centuries, Prince Khaemweset, Ramesses II’s fourth son got fame for restoring as well as identifying the historical buildings, temples and tombs like the famous pyramid.

Ippolito Rosellini and Jean Francois Champollion were among the first Egyptologists who gained wide appreciation and acclaim. Karl Richard Lepsius, a German, was the early participant of investigations of the ancient Egypt- it’s excavating and mapping.

In the year 1830, Rifa el-Tahtawi was the main scholar who served in Egyptian Egyptology. He was greatly inspired by works of the Muslim Egyptologists in the medieval Egyptian period, though the modern Egyptologists grew slowly as compared to their Western counterparts mainly due to their Islamic identity.

In order to know about ancient Egypt, it is better to get the Egyptology books available easily in the market. The “Experiments in Egyptian Archeology: Stoneworking Technology in Ancient Egypt” is a nice work by Denys A. Stocks. The 263 pages volume examines the pictorial as well as the archaeological evidence of stonework in Egypt. Through a set of experiments, the writer evaluates about 200 replica and reconstructed tools and brings alive various practices and methods of ancient Egyptian craft, highlighting the advances made by the great Egyptian civilization.

Also, the ‘Pyramid Builders of Ancient Egypt: A Modern Investigation of Pharaoh’s Workforce’ by A.R. David is an archaeology book on Egyptology. The Egyptian builders of Pyramids are taken to be as ordinary and simple people who are engaged in building the tomb for Pharaoh. This book is indeed a detective story that brings to the reader a great picture of a community which resided in Egypt and made one of the pyramids about 4000 years ago.

Another Egypt archeology book worth mentioning is The City In Roman and Byzantine Egypt by Richard Alston is fro all those who wish to know about the Roman city. In this book, we are not just restricted to history of public faces of the cities, the inscriptions and writings of elites, but can understand what transformations of city actually meant for the simple people and also unveil the forces which actually shaped the ordinary lives of city dwellers. After Egypt became the part and parcel of Roman Empire in the 30 BC, Christian and Classical influences made a mark on urban environment. And this book thus examines the overall influence and impact of the new cultures in the Egyptian society.

Last but not least, other books of Egyptology include the Egyptian Treasures from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The wide heritage of Egyptian Museum in Cairo is provided in all the unparalleled glory in exceptional colored pictures and text by world leading Egyptologists.

Many of us are familiar with the marvels of personal computers. What about a computer system that keeps track of everything and everyone that has ever existed? Not only does this vast and accurate system have a record of history, it has countless videotape films and pictures that we can tap into if we are sensitive or intuitive. Some people refer to the objective records as the Akashic Records or Book of Life. These records are not physical nor are they confine to a particular place. They are everywhere. All we need to do is tune into them. Anything that is experienced whether it is a thought, word, desire or action creates a vibration. The vibration remains forever in what is referred to as the unseen etheric energy. Energy leaves an imprint in time and space.. The desires that placed the energy out there are also recorded.

Every experience we have can leave either a good or bad impression. Our choices leave different impressions in the records. The giant computer system is similar to a vast subconscious. The subconscious can be accessed either consciously or unconsciously. The purpose of an accurate record is to actually help us in our growth and transformation. From my own experience and others, we are able to tap into the past, which can serve what is happening to us on many different levels here in the present. The universe is based on love and order. By keeping a record, we can go back in time and heal, forgive and release activity that has hampered our balance and ability to live fully. The challenge is to be able to correctly interpret the records. One must be intuitive, open minded, objective and non judgmental. This can be tricky because it is typical to be heavily influenced by our own belief systems, backgrounds, experiences and personal motives.

When we start digging into the memories stored in the subconscious, it becomes obvious that our challenges today have their roots in choices and decisions made previously. Some teachers feel that if you go straight to God, the memories or karma that is considered to be bad, will automatically be removed without your going through therapy sessions or deep introspection. I know this can happen. One time I offered a workshop on the power of the Holy Spirit. Many people came up to me to be touched and healing happened to them. I remember two men who had come together and their comments. They said that the power of the Holy Spirit washed them clean. They felt that all hindrances and impurities had instantly dropped away.

It is important that we take personal responsibility in shaping the course of our lives and the condition of the world around us. We do effect every soul we encounter and in this way we are ‘co-creators’ in the unfoldment of destiny. Today, there are many people studying subjects that will help with their soul progression. It is one thing to know, and quite another thing to put into daily practice what we do know. It is important to have an ideal and live life doing everything possible to reach the ideal. People commonly blame others for their problems. Not so, we inherit most that happens from ourselves. For those of you who live with challenging personalities, try minimizing their faults and magnifying their virtues.

For you to be able to access your hidden records, realize that you must be sensitive and that it is difficult to interpret the old memories. You will need a detached state of mind, your body at peace and a sense of balance. Using your will and asking a specific question in prayer or meditation can be successfully done under the right conditions. The information must come through form. The form could be a dream, a vision, an intuitive thought, looking at a scene or hearing something that stimulates the hidden. The records, memory bank, are everywhere and will manifest through your consciousness by means of the five senses. Pay attention to what you say, hear, think and write. Why do you want information? Be very clear when you ask for answers. The odds are the answers will come in symbolic form and require interpretation. It is your subconscious that gives you the symbols required to bring the information to the surface in your mind. We are essentially archaeological digs. Persistence and pure intent will get you through the layers of the past and find their way to the surface.
