Lets see how able am I to poke around with a Egyptian Religious revival, mkay? Premise: Well during this time period we see mini-revivals
and interests with the old religion, especially linked during this period of a strong cadre of secularist, intellectuals-especially linked to literature and nationalism. So here I go poking at the possibilities in Egypt. Will it be successful? Who knows.

I look to the current present and future of my beloved Egypt with worry, for Egypt or the land of Kemet once known by our anscestors has fallen far in the status of the world. I look to the past and see our people, they once stood ontop of mankind the center of the ancient world, all other local civilizations looked to our anscestors with awe. Now look at what has become of our people, once rulers we have become ruled for these past centuries. It all started with the intervention of ones who would say their God was the one true and greatest god, the Persians, and from then on we were passed along to the Greek Ptolemies who fostered their religious ideas upon us and then unto the Romans who came with their Supreame Ceaser then from the land once a backwater of our Empire came the so called Christ. Still the humiliation was not set as then from the deepest backwater came the Sword of Islam, which has just set down upon our people the most current chains after domination, only coming from Mecca then Damascus followed by Baghdad. Then after still yet more humiliation we are controlled supposedly by a Mamluk who holds loyalties to the Ottomans and at the same time the British! What has lead us to this I ask?
I say it is that we have forgotten our past, what made us great, the Gods of Egypt! They have long watched our people, for we have not been cast into oblivion, yes? I say what we need is a revival of the old ways, and that is what I present here after careful scientific research of our past I hae set down the basics of how our noble anscestors worshipped. In a modern sense of course. If you will bare with me abit longer the words of the past, then hopefully Egypt can discover its trueself and throw off the shackles of ignorance and imperialism.
Now. In the beginning there was nothing but water and chaos, called Nu. From this arrived a flash of light...
