SURVEY OF HERMETICISM

   It is clear that from 1300 b.c.e up to 300 b.c.e, the history of Akhnaton was deliberatly omitted from all historical records of Egypt. During this millenium Egypt's power constantly declined, while Israel appeared and became a moderately powerful nation in the Middle East. At the same time Athens surged in Greece and grew toward great power. At its zenith, Athens crumbled (Socrates), but continued in importance with Alexander who established a Greek dynasty (Ptolemean) in Egypt.

   From that moment (300 b.c.e), Egyptian historians started to revealed that Moses, the prophet of their Israeli neighbours, had been a Pharaoh (depicted with the features that we now know as Akhnaton's). Meanwhile Hermopolis Magna (the City of Hermes, the Messenger) was built across the Nile from the remains of the Akhnaton's old city (named Akhtaton, Adocentyn or Tell El Amarna).

   In 30 b.c.e, the last of the Ptolemeans, Cleopatra, was defeated by the Romans who, since 300 b.c.e, had grown powerfull and fought the Greco-Egyptian power for domination of the Eastern Mediterranean. The library of Alexandria was destroyed, and the evidences of the cultural influence of Egypt over the Middle-East debased.

   At this juncture the young Jesus of Nazareth, after residing in Egypt, taught in Israel. He then explained through the 'Transfiguration Play' his goal of removing the veil laid on Moses identity to the people of Isreal. Yet his message eventually spread among the gentiles, and at the biginning of Christianity, the Fathers of the Chuch celebrated the Monotheist Egyptian King whom they called Hermes Trismegistus (or Triplex, Triple Master or Triple Great; also Hermes Thoth).

   This knowledge known as Hermeticism, was sustained around the Mediterranean and Europe during the Middle Ages. It was based on ancient sacred books (Hermetica). During the Renaissance, new documents from the Middle East, supported the belief that the Triplex was Moses himself (not just his initiator), and also remembered in Greece as Orpheus. A serious conflict divided historians. The Orphean clue was weak and in 1600 a.d, the Inquisition, perpetuating its own interests, used a thesis, known as Casaubon's dating, to discredit and destroy the Memory of the Triplex.

   In the twentieth century, the discovery of the Nag Hammadi scrolls in Egypt invalidates Casaubon's dating. Moreover Egyptology discovers Akhnaton and that he matches all the features of the (Christian) Triplex and (Ptolemean) Egyptian King.

   As other data presently allows Egyptologist to show that Moses was the Egyptian Monotheist King, Akhnaton, the belief in Hermes Trismegistus can therefore be reconsidered - all the more since the Orphean reference is strenghtened by the personnage of Oedipus (Freud, Velikovky); while this shift, Orpheus-to-Oedipus is made explicit by the French 'initiated' Jean Cocteau (Orpheus, Orpheus'Legacy).

   To conclude, the coincidence of the Oedipus' story with Akhnaton's life, and the coincidence of Akhnaton's life with Moses' legend, allow Historians to suspect that the three names tell the story of the same man. Moreover we now get the history of the memory itself, disclosed under the Hermes Trismegistus' reference, enabling Psycho-Historians to reveal the unique origin of our "plural" civilisation.
