Egyptian cosmology: in 3100BC upper and lower Egypt united to form the world's superpower for the next three-thousand years (3100-330BC), until eclipsed by the Greco-Roman empire (330BC-500), initiated by Alexander the Great (330BC), who in turn were overthrown by the Muslim (642), all of which resulted in an adoption, albeit modification of the previous cultural religion, of a sun (Ra) and flat earth (Geb) conceptualized cosmos, according to which 3 of 4 people in modern times directly trace their belief systems to Egyptian religio-mythology, i.e. Anunian theology deriving from the Heliopolis creation myth, which in turn is based on the cyclical birth-death theory of the sun, dating from 4000BC if not earlier. (Ѻ) |
The Egyptians deified this dung beetle burial rebirth cycle into the form of a god called Khepri (Ѻ) or Khepera (Ѻ), from the Egyptian term kheprer “to become”. The god Khepri, in short, is based on the verb kepher, meaning "develop" or "come into being". (Ѻ) One myth blogger (2012) discusses this as follows: (Ѻ)
“Why did the ancient Egyptians worship a large beetle that rolls a ball of dung, lays its eggs inside it, and then pushes the ball along the ground? Why did the Egyptians call this beetle kheper, with the metaphorical meaning ‘becoming, to come into being’? Why did they associate the lowly dung beetle with Re, their supreme being and sun god, and give their beetle-god avatar of Re the name Khepri? Many Pharaohs incorporated kheper into their ‘throne name’, the official name they assumed at their coronation. King Tut’s treasures are decorated with elaborate cartouches of his throne-name Neb Kheperu Re, ‘The Lord of Becoming/Manifestation/Creations is Re.’ Tourists to Egypt buy scarabs modeled on King Tut’s scarab-jewelry, not realizing that they’re paying homage to dung beetles”
“I am Khepera at the dawn, and Ra at noon, and Atum in the evening.”— Anon (c.3100BC), Egyptian inscription (Ѻ)
“It may not have gone unnoticed that the pupa, whose wings and legs are encased at this stage of development, is very mummy-like. It has even been pointed out that the egg-bearing ball of dung is created in an underground chamber which is reached by a vertical shaft and horizontal passage curiously reminiscent of Old Kingdom mastaba tombs.”— Carol Andrews (1994), Amulets of Ancient Egypt [9]
The dung beetle mound burial life cycle, in short, coupled to the day light cycle and yearly solar cycle, and Nile river flood cycle, gauged by star (astrology) mapping markings, is the model behind the resurrection of Osiris, and in turn the resurrection of Jesus, the world dominant religious belief, as outlined further below.
A depiction of Lower Egypt, showing Heliopolis, the place where Heliopolis creation myth originated, the capital during the formation of the 1st Dynasty (3100BC), and Memphis, the state capital in 2800BC, during which time the world’s main creation myth was formulated: a sun (fire) born out of a mound (earth), considered the center of the universe, following a flood (water), which became the basis of Aristotelean cosmology, which lasted up until the Copernican revolution (1543-1687). |
See main: Heliopolis creation mythIn 3100BC, the 42 Nomes or cities (territories) of Pre-Dynastic Egypt, shown adjacent, merged into the Egyptian First Dynasty (country), after which a state religion began to form, wherein each previous 42 nome deities were given a place in the so-called "judgment hall" of the afterlife, wherein, as would later be implemented, the 42 negative confessions, were read and the weight of the soul determined, before Osiris, the king judgment god of the afterlife, which later became the number of generations of descendants between God (or Ra, Osiris' great grandfather) and Jesus (or Horus, Osiris' son), in Christianity. The first major capital to rise to power was Heliopolis, aka the city of the sun.
See main: Hermopolitan creation mythIn 2400BC, the city of Hermopolis rose to power, after which their dualistic paired grouping of eight creator gods, i.e. the Hermopolitan Ogdoad (Ѻ), merged or syncretized with the Heliopolis-Memphis model, as shown below (left). In 2040BC, the city of Thebes rose to power, after which their creator god Amen became re-conceptualized as different incarnations of the previous creator gods: Re (or Ra), Atum, Ptah, and Hermopolitan-Ogdoad, respectively, as shown below (right): [1]

“The nearest thing to a truly national religion in Egypt was the Osiris cycle. The story is not extant in full epic version but must be pieced together from several ancient and classical sources: the Pyramid Texts [c.2400-2300BC] of the Old Kingdom, the Coffin Texts [c.2100-1650BC] of the Middle Kingdom, the Book of the Dead [1550-50BC] from the New Kingdom, a ribald text entitled The Contest of Horus and Seth for Rule [c.1187-1064BC] from the Twentieth Dynasty, and the summary of Plutarch in Concerning Isis and Osiris from the second century C.E.”

Akhenaten's monotheism, however, was short-lived: his city was soon destroyed and the majority of his new religion effaced from walls and recordings.

This point on the horizon where sun will rise on the winter solstice is pointed out by a line formed through the brightest star in the night sky—Sirius—and through the three stars of Orion's belt, sometimes referred to as the “three kings”, which forms the basis of the story of the sun (“son”) of God, who dies on the Crux (cross) and then rises from the dead after three days to be reborn. The birth is pointed out by the brightest star in the east, Sirius, followed by the three kings. The winter solstice occurs on December 22nd, and then the birth occurs three days later, on December 25th. (Ѻ) | Three Kings, following bright star, to birth of Jesus. |

See the Wikipedia "list of people claimed to be Jesus" and "list of people who have been considered deities" for more examples of the above.
