He is not trying to add to the discussion just antagonize me because I called him out for trollingit depends on whose giving those names meaning.
enlighten us.
however your responses are characteristically opaque.
and i, as well as a multitude of other posters, continuously ask for clarification, and your clarifications are even more opaque, on purpose. the outside observer of said conversations, may arrive at the same conclusion as you - "smart dumb and silly", even though i know that not to be the case. so i'll wait until the day you decide to be transparent, clear, and forthcoming about your opinions that you intentionally obscure for whatever reasons. hopefully, today will be that day.
i think you should be whatever poster you are, and I will post how I post (word to Art Barr)it depends on whose giving those names meaning.

SYBAUDenying GOD'S Word is going to turn out bad for you.
I would suggest you pick up the book and learn it.

. Even Native Americans have stories about them. 
The Sumerians get info from the offspring of horny angels got you thinking the whole world didn't experience what went down in the days of Noah.
Don't worry you'll get another chance real soon.....

Where you there when it happened?No they didn't. Everyone in the BC days talked about the Nephilim because that's a part of actual history. Even Native Americans have stories about them.

Quit trying to discredit scripture. It ain't gonna work![]()
NoYall realize these civilizations developed on or around one another? That's like saying America copied the industrial revolution from England.
This is basic comparative mythology. The other difference being the Abrahamic faiths convinced the world that their versions are real.

but consider the names "Ra' the sun/creative speech
Atum - "living one, or existing one"
Ptah "creator/potter"
because this is the difference between our time and the time in the pastthis is all fine and good but neither here nor there to the point. post in whatever manner befits you.
the point being made, however, is that what you perceive of others, may be perceived of you.
you need to clarify this because this is also opaque. you asked me for the meanings of the names but then you provide epithets after making a point about the conflation of names and epithets. and then it appears you go a step further to make the claim that the actual names of these gods, are in effect, essentially epithets on their own, of the god amun - thus being different emanations of the same being - whose name means wind - not "the hidden one" which is an epithet of amun that flows forth from the idea of wind being hidden but felt.
creative utterances were personified in hu, not ra and is more closely linked to ptah.
atum is affiliated with the benben mound and *means* completeness.
atum brings forth the ogdoad which includes amun, the earliest attestation being in the 5th/6th dynasty while ra is attested to as early as the 2nd dynasty.
ptah is said, in some myths, to have brought forth ra.
if you are trying to make the case that these are emanations of amun, it has to be a tight case and not simply based off the 18th dynasty refashioning (merging) of these deities which they were able to do and take creative licenses with because of the multitude of different creation myths about them to begin with.
otherwise, because ra horakhty emerged, with your same line of thinking, one can come to the conclusion that horus is an emanation of ra and we know that's not the case.
additionally, you have the issue of amun being pitted against the aten in the 18th dynasty which should have been a nothingburger if it was presumed that the solar disc presents as the "face" of the "hidden one"
and finally, which was the whole point of my previous post about your proclivity of dancing around the subject and not being forthcoming - which would help those who are trying to learn like me - plainly state what you are trying to allude to in many of your post on here - which is you believe in some respect, that the egyptian deities and maybe some of the others in antiquity, point to the presence of YHWH, but in some respect many people b*stardize or misunderstand the conceptions.
and if this is not what you believe, this is what I pick up trying to decipher your opaque replies, and if it is an incorrect assumption, you can always leave no room for doubt.
there is no direct archaeological or textual evidence to support the biblical story of Moses and the Exodus from Egypt
, with most historians considering the event a founding myth rather than a historical fact.
