Quoted By:
There is a prophecy in the Hermetika that Egypt was the image of heaven and the universe, but one day the gods would gradually abandon them.
Because of the religious and moral degradation of the Gentiles and the Egyptians themselves.
The priests started a religious industry by breeding animals of each deity for mummification. Instead of worshiping the animals well, they tortured them and banished them from Egypt. All of this happened heavily during the end of the last reign and into the Greco-Roman period.
The ignorant villagers, lacking guidance from the Pharaoh, sought to communicate with the gods themselves, thinking they would communicate by offering mummified animals.
Just like Tao said. Things are turned upside down when they reach their highest point. They worship cats as gods, but they kill cats themselves for the cat gods. Christians were no different with the sale of penance certificates and religious trials.
