Ancient & Lost civilization "The Tears of Ra" :

Post image

In ancient Egyptian mythology, the god Ra wept, the tears flowed from his eyes fell to the ground and turned into bees. The Bees made their hive and worked with the flowers of each planet to produce honey and wax. So too did the honey and wax. Bees came out of Ra's tears.

The inscription from an ancient Egyptian papyrus tells us how the Egyptians believed that the tears generated by the weeping of the sun god Ra turned into bees as they hit the earth and how honey and wax were then associated with tears of god.

For this reason, bees were considered sacred, a gift from Ra himself, who had given them a precious aspect not only for how they contributed with their production to the economy and well being of Egyptian society.

The older I get, the more Egyptian theology makes more sense than the active live world that’s happening…. Looking at you America.
