ever run into ancient priests?

Scott,
thanks for sharing with us al on this site - free of charge.
you clearly carry the true spirit of scholarship close to your heart.
Being in Egypt - and exploring,
have you run into actual priests who still practice ancient egyptian ritual?
modern day people who still follow the ancient teachings are out there - have you seen them? spoken to them?
how would one contact such a group? How would one send a letter to the Grand Hierophant?
If anyone besides Scott has information please chime in as well.

Hello Botal,

Many thanks for your post. My apologies - almost overlooked it.

Botal: have you run into actual priests who still practice ancient egyptian ritual?

SC: Alas not. Ancient Egyptian Religion was supplanted by Christianity and later by Islam. There may, however, be sects who still practice the ancient religion but I am not aware of such. There are those, however, who consider some of the secret rituals practiced by modern Freemasonry is based on the ancient AE practices. 'The Hiram Key' by Lomas and Knight explains some of these.

Regards,

Scott Creighton
