WHY WISDOM LEFT

WHY WISDOM LEFT

a funny report about An Ibis found in UK , which is very far away from the home they used to live in .

that drives me to wounder when , How , and Why the Holy bird of Thoth left Egypt ?

well , the Sacred Ibis used to be resident , or may I say , Egyptian honorable citizens, for example , many temples have Ibis mummies

and I think , but NOT sure, they are the second mummified animal after the beloved cats .

Ibis were depicted in many Egyptian temples , tombs, and papyrus .

even more were described by many visitors like m Herodotus, Aristotle , and Strabo .

and described by the French campaign .

sadly the last time an Ibis was seen in Egypt was 1864 

Was it for environmental reasons ? , Humans attacked them ?, or even Metaphysical reasons : God Thoth get disappointed by the new residents of the Holy land Kemet , so he left with his holy bird , as well as with his holy Baboon.

I have no clue but I wish and love to get them back

Akhenaten before and after

Egypt as always -even up to now – was ruled by religion everything made, build , or written has something religious in it , the king rules because he is the son of a god or another every amazing building was related to a religion , huge temples or amazing tombs , everyday life buildings were very humble , the art too most of it depicting gods , or people worshiping them and offering to them , even the painting showing everyday life were meant to show either how good was the king \ dead person in his\her life and thus he deserve to live in the Aaru \ sḫt-jꜣrw ,or just showing how he would live their .

even in Akhenaten era , he was no exception , in a soften way he was praised with his queen but may be as a high priest or even a prophet of Aten , Not as a divine entity born of god like everyone else .

and not long after the death of Ahenaten , Ay became the king of Egypt after the famous 

King Tutankh (amen \Aten) who changed his name, religion and capital to satisfy Amen priests and the crowds mostly because of his grand Vasir Ay advice , after his death \ murder , Ay became the new king .

so everything came back to normal , king rule politically and military , priesthood control temples with a lot of privileges , and getting a lot of gifts from kings , nobles and even ordinary people . 

is that so ?

Not for long that the power of Amen , and other deities as well , became too strong that Thebe became thier own kingdom that the High priest of Amen announced his son Amenhotep a king instead of Ramses XI , but Rmses XI saved his throne , 

in the 21 dynasty they ruled upper Egypt , then they became the real kings of Egypt one of the famous kings who was born of them is the silver king Psusennes I who was a son of the high priest of Amen , who ruled from the North and left upper Egypt to his father and the priesthood of amen

was that overwhelming power that Amen priesthood a reaction caused by the revolution of Akhenaten ?

Or was Akhenaten trying to protect Egypt from their over-growing power ??

what is better for a civilization 

a weak hermit king , with no concern of administration and governing , who stopped caring about the army and Egyptian colonies , or a bunch of fanatics / charlatans priests who enslave people using their mumbo jumbo ?

I believe neither 

but it was the fault of the great kings who ignored them specially the Ramses (s) the 19th dynasty who used to bride them with big gifts of lands , money and even slaves .
