You're listening to episode 28 of Jimmy Aiken's Mysterious World,

where we look at mysteries from the twin perspectives of faith and reason.

In this episode, we're talking about the mystery of Egypt's Heretic Farrow.

I'm Dom Bethenelli and joining me today is Jimmy Aiken. Hi Jimmy, howdy Dom.

So we're talking about, as I mentioned, Egypt's Heretic Farrow. So 33 centuries ago,

Egypt was ruled by the strangest king it ever had. He was the most unique individual ever to be

farrow. There were a lot of unique people who were farrow. So this one stood above all the rest.

He was driven by a powerful spiritual vision and overturned almost every aspect of Egyptian society.

And some of you even called him the first monotheist in history. So today on Jimmy Aiken's

Mysterious World, we're talking about the mystery of Egypt's Heretic Farrow. So who are we talking

about here, Jimmy? What is this we're talking about? Well, we're talking about a farrow who

would buy more than one name. And that's actually not unusual because faros do, actually,

they had like five major names that they had. And they'd actually, like other Egyptians,

keep their real name secret. Because in Egyptian society, it was thought that if someone knew your

real name, they could use it against you magically. They could manipulate you magically. And so

your mom knew your real name, but you had others that that everyone else called you. And

one of the things about the goddess Isis, goddess of magic, was she, one of her titles was she who

knows all the names. So she could magically manipulate anybody. But to appreciate what happened

with this guy, you kind of have to understand what Egypt was like at the time.
