Now, how do you get a big come back of the Ancient Egyptian religion, and the Gods and Goddess with it after Egypt falls to the Romans and later the rise of Christianity?

People would have considered him crazy, too, in that case. Crazy leaders don`t convert populations...Nasser gets crazy and want to obliterate Egyptian islam. He becomes pharao and son of Isis.

If we are talking before 1900, wasn't there a revolt against the Greek Ptolemaic Dynasty, that had a chance to do so, even though they made serious efforts to style themselves as Pharaohs?

But this AHC is after Constantine![]()

That could work. I know i said it had to happen after the Romans and Christianity, but a revolt against the Greek Ptolemaic Dynasty would be nice.

Just ask Amenhotep IV how that worked out.People would have considered him crazy, too, in that case. Crazy leaders don`t convert populations...
Amenhotep / Echnaton introduced something that was popular in neighbouring countries, re-centering Egypt`s religious pantheon from a position and in a time where the population half-expected their leaders to pull off stuff like that.Just ask Amenhotep IV how that worked out.
Nasser would, in the scenario, have revived something not just clinically dead, but also completely decomposed, a cult with no explanations for the questions and problems of modern society, which he would have to adapt very fast in the process of introduction. And he was in a position where people expected him to pull off crazy political turns and reforms, but not religious ones. Ideologies were the religions of the 20th century. Nasserism wasn`t that absurd as a political ideology. Mixed with Ancient Egyptian religious leanings, it would lose it pan-Arabian appeal; its semi-socialist tendencies also wouldn`t work quite well with Pharaonic nostalgia.

Emperor Julian does not die in 363 CE and his policy of revivving paganism in the Roman Empire is successful and endures after his death.Now, how do you get a big come back of the Ancient Egyptian religion, and the Gods and Goddess with it after Egypt falls to the Romans and later the rise of Christianity?
What if it's revived, but not by Egyptians?
Egyptology was a craze that started with the discovery of the Rosetta Stone and lasted all the way into the 1900s, think The Mummy. What if French and/or Brits created a spiritual, mystical dimension to Egyptology and got into it the same way Germans got into Theosophy?
Imagine Mosley's or Maurras' regime having a fringe of Egyptian trappings, with the ankh or the eye of Horus as their emblem, building obelisks everywhere as part of their neoclassical revamp on architecture, and the Irem Society sending all sorts of wild expeditions into darkest Africa and Arabia, leading to much speculation by postwar conspiracy theorists about the role of esoteric occultism in fascist Britain/France. Indiana Jones fights with Mosley/Maurras' goons as they attempt to uncover the Book of Thoth.
If no one responds to this post I'm going to throw a fit.
