 Wikipedia: Egyptian mythology
Egyptian mythology (or Egyptian religion) is the name for the succession of beliefs held by the people of Egypt until the coming of Christianity and Islam.
The timespan involved is nearly three thousand years, and beliefs varied considerably over time, so an article or, indeed, even one whole book, cannot do more than outline the many entities and subjects in this complex system of beliefs.
Egyptian Mythology is different from Greek or Roman Mythology, in that in Egyptian Mythology most deities are of human body and animal head or vice versa.

 Real History and Babi Yar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
In 1943, the Babi Yar massacre, being almost unknown in the West and thus unimportant, was apparently selected by the NKVD for such a "dress rehearsal" prior to the contemplated exposure to Western journalists of fraudulent Katyn massacre witnesses in this far more publicized and more politically important affair.
Thus, the false testimony of the NKVD-provided eyewitnesses of the alleged Babi Yar massacre became the cornerstone of a decades-long Soviet judicial policy of not allowing their fraudulent atrocity witnesses to testify independently; that is, beyond the reach of the supervising Soviet prosecutor, or outside the borders of the USSR.
For one thing, the Babi Yar massacre was not mentioned in the Ukrainian Resistance press, although the killing of its members by the Germans in Kiev is described.

Although this view fit[ted] with his turn away from Babi theocratic ideals toward a rapprochement with the state, in an unnuanced form it was incompatible with his conviction that government should be consultative and that it was necessary to oppose the state when it acted arbitrarily.
As for "Babi theocratic ideals", it remains an open question whether what the Báb himself envisioned was a theocratic form of government or merely a pious and observant monarchy.
Converts from the junior `ulamá tended to be the most militant and the least ready to concede the legitimacy of the civil state, while the bazárís were most ready to accommodate the state.

Browne in his own introduction to the edition published under the auspices of the Cambridge University, the manuscript of this work was given to him by Abdul Baha at the time he visited Bahaullah and the Bahai community in Acca during the year 1891".
Therefore not surprisingly, Baba did not receive full support as the author states, "of the doctors (religious leaders) who heaped insults at Bab during his first examination at Tabriz and those who two years later ratified his death warrant in the name of religion, several were Shaikhis.
Hence it is necessary to recognise clearly the difference between the relations of the Babi Faith to the old and the new Shaikhi School.

Gardner's discussion of the Baha'i religion and its early Babi phase, that he may not have a close relationship with a knowledgeable Baha'i who can place the numerological symbolism of Baha'i in context.
There is room for mythology and for realism, for poetry and for mathematics, for the metaphorical and the literal, for faith and for skepticism.
His unequivocal statement was: "Any religion that is not in accord with established science is superstition." The Babi and Baha'i usage of 9 and 19, while mythological, is not generally taken by Baha'is so literally as to become magical.
