Shem the Builder of the Egyptians

Shem the Builder of the Egyptians

In the Greek tongue, Shem appears as Ehu; in Egyptian mythology, he is Shu, the son of Ra, the Sun God.¹ It was through his claimed descent from Shem that Louis, King of France, styled himself the “Sun King.”² Yet the greater truth, long obscured by the priests who have ruled education for the last three millennia, is that Shem himself was the founder and builder of the great civilization of Egypt.

The rulers of Egypt were called Pharaohs, from the Hebrew pira, meaning “long hair,”³ while the native Egyptians were short-haired. Shem was not only long-haired, but also fair-haired. In their records, the priests name him Shufu or Khufu, meaning “long hair.”⁴ Being a mighty warrior, Shem easily led his people in the conquest of the natives. He commemorated his reign by raising the Great Pyramid at Gizeh.⁵ His son Elam overthrew Babylon; later, his descendant Cyrus the Great completed that conquest and founded the Persian Empire.⁶ Shem’s chosen emblem was the lion, sign of strength and victory, which remains the symbol of kingship to this day. The Pyramid was called Khiut, the Horizon, where Khufu, or Shufu, was swallowed as the sun sinks into the western sky.⁷

The Royal Astronomer of Scotland, after long research, concluded that the evidence was irrefutable: Shem built the Great Pyramid.⁸ Within it, his name, Shufu, appears in red, signifying his fair hair.⁹ Another inscription, from the reign of his descendant Amenhotep IV, reads: “He stopped the barbarous practices of the priests which had been introduced by Naamah and her followers from Babylon, even Nimrod.”¹⁰ The priests murdered Amenhotep so that their orgies and child sacrifices might resume. To Herodotus they admitted that the Pyramid was built by “a wandering shepherd”¹¹—a term of derision, for they ever mocked Shem after his death. In other inscriptions they reviled him as “pig” and “dwarf,”¹² in hatred of the man who slew their master Nimrod. By contrast, they exalted Ham, corrupted by Naamah, who had brought in cannibalism and human sacrifice.¹³

Under Shem, Egypt reached its height. The Sphinx, according to certain authorities, is his likeness.¹⁴ After his death, the priests not only revived their corrupt rites, but undertook a campaign to blot out his name from memory. They persecuted his fair-haired descendants, the Shemites, or Semites, with fire and sword. They falsified the records, erasing both his reign and the history of his seed.

The Arab scholar Murtadi noted that Num and Khufta (Shufu), the builders of the Pyramids, lived with Noah (British Museum Catalog, 1909).¹⁵ Shem was also remembered as Menes, from the Hebrew Meni (“man”), appearing in the Book of the Dead.¹⁶

Notes

👉The primary accounts of Shem’s genealogy are found in the Book of Genesis. After the flood, Noah’s sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—became the ancestors of all the nations of the earth. Genesis 10, often referred to as the Table of Nations, provides a detailed list of the descendants of Noah’s sons. Shem’s lineage is particularly highlighted in Genesis 11:10-26, which traces his descendants down to Abram (later Abraham), a pivotal figure in biblical history.
