EGYPTIAN MYTHS AND MYSTERIES

Rudolf Steiner emphasizes the astonishing and special relationship between our own time and that of ancient Egypt?how, in the natural rhythm of the ages, the so-called third post-Atlantian (Egyptian) epoch is mirrored by the fifth (present) epoch. In this sense, today it is especially relevant to look at ancient Egypt with fresh eyes. The evolution of Western civilization has been profoundly influenced by Egyptian myths through the Greek mysteries.
