'Ancient Egypt' - "The change from bodily death to future life in spirit
was acted as a transformation-scene in the mysteries of the
resurrection. The mummy-Osiris was an effigy of death. The Sahumummy Amsu-Horus is an image of the glorious body into which Osiris
transubstantiated to go forth from Sekhem as pure spirit. It is the
mummy in this second stage that is of primary import. First of all the
dead body was smeared over with unguents and thus glorified. During
the process of anointing it was said, "O Asar (the deceased) the thick
oil which is poured upon thee furnishes thy mouth with life" (Budge,
"The Mummy", p. 163). It is also said that the anointing is done to give
sight to the eyes, hearing to the ears, sense of smell to the nostrils and
utterance to the mouth. To embalm the body thus was to karas it and
the embalmment was a mode of making the typical Christ as the
Anointed. Thus the mortal Horus was invested with the glory of the
only God-begotten Son. Now this making of the Krst, or mummy-Christ,
after the Egyptian fashion is apparent in the Gospels. When the woman
brings the alabaster cruse of precious ointment to the house of Simon
and pours it on the head of Jesus he says, "In that she poured this
ointment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for my burial"
(Matthew 26:12). She was making the Christ as the anointed-mummy
previous to interment. After the description of the crucifixion it is said
that Nicodemus came and brought a "mixture of myrrh and aloes,
about a hundred pound" and "they took the body of Jesus and bound it
in linen cloths with the spices as the custom of the Jews is to bury"
(John 19:39,40). This again denotes the making of the Karestmummy=the Christ. Moreover, it is the dead mummy in one version
and it is the living body in the other which is anointed, just as Horus
was anointed with the exceedingly precious Antu ointment, or oil, that
was poured upon his head and face to represent his glory." (Note the
Hindu God Krishna whose story is the same as that of Horus, also takes
his name from the Sanskrit root 'krst' meaning 'Christ' and was
formerly spelled 'Christ-Na')
Tertullian claims that the name of the Christians came from the unction
received by Jesus Christ. This is in perfect keeping with the derivation

of the typical Christ from the mummy which was anointed so
abundantly with oil in its embalmment. It is said of the woman who
anointed Jesus in Bethany," in that she poured the ointment upon my
body, she did it to prepare me for my burial " (Matthew 26:12). She
was preparing the mummy after the manner of Anup the embalmer,
who prepared Osiris for his burial and resurrection. But it was only as a
dead mummy and not a living man that the gnostic Jesus could have
been embalmed for burial.
We now proceed to show that Christ the anointed is none other than
the Osiris-karast, and that the karast mummy risen to its feet as Osirissahu was the prototypal Christ. Unhappily, these demonstrations
cannot be made without a wearisome mass of detail. And we are
bound for the bottom this time. Dr. Budge, in his book on the mummy,
tells his readers that the Egyptian word for mummy is ges, which
signifies to wrap up in bandages. But he does not point out that ges or
kes, to embalm the corpse or make the mummy, is a reduced or
abraded form of an earlier word, karas (whence krst for the mummy).
The original word written in hieroglyphics is, krst, whence kas, to
embalm, to bandage, to knot, to make the mummy or karast (Birch,
Dictionary of the Hieroglyphics, pp. 415-416; Champollion, Gram.
Egyptienne, 86). The word krs denotes the embalmment of the
mummy, and the krst, as the mummy, was made in the process of
preparation by purifying, anointing, and embalming. To karas the dead
body was to embalm it, to bandage it, to make the mummy. The
mummy was the Osirian Corpus Christi, prepared for burial as the laidout dead, the karast by name. When raised to its feet, it was the risen
mummy, or sahu. The place of embalmment was likewise the krs. Thus
the process of making the mummy was to karas, the place in which it
was laid is the karas, and the product was the krst, whose image is the
upright mummy = the risen Christ. Hence the name of the Christ,
Christos in Greek, Chrestus in Latin, for the anointed, was derived, as
the present writer previously suggested, from the Egyptian word krst.
Karas also signifies the burial-place, and the word modifies into Ks or
Chs. Ksu the burial place "was a name of the 14th Nome in Upper
Egypt. A god Ks is mentioned three or four times in the Book of the
Dead, the god Ks who is in the Tuat" ( ch. 40). This was a title of the
mummy Osiris in the funerary dwelling. In one passage Ks is
described as the deliverer or saviour from all mortal needs. In "the
chapter of raising the body" (178) it is said of the deceased that he had
been hungry and thirsty (on earth), but he will (never hunger or thirst
any more, "for Ks delivers him" and does away with wants like these.
That is, in the resurrection. Here the name of the god Osiris-Ks written
at full is Osiris the Karast - the Egyptian Christ. Not only is the risen
mummy or sahu called the karast, Osiris as lord of the bier is the Neb-
karast equivalent to the later Christ the Lord, and the lord of the bier is
god of the resurrection from the house of death. The karast is literally
the god or person who has been mummified, embalmed, and anointed
or christified. Anup the baptizer and embalmer of the dead for the new
life was the preparer of the karast-mummy. As John The Baptist is the
founder of the Christ in baptism, so Anup was the christifier of the
mortal Horus, he on whom the holy ghost descended as a bird when
the Osiris made his transformation in the marriage mystery of Tat tu
(Rit., ch. 17). We read in the funeral texts of Anup - being "Suten tu
hetep, Anup, neb tser khent neter ta krast-ef em set" (Birch, Funereal
Text 4th Dynasty). "Suten hept tu Anup tep-tuf khent neter ha am ut
neb tser krast ef em as-ef en kar neter em set Amenta" (Birch,
Funereal Stele of Ra-Khepr-Ka, 12th Dynasty). Anup gives
embalmment, krast; he is lord over the place of embalmment, the
kras ; the lord of embalming (krast), who, so to say, makes the "krast".
The process of embalmment is to make the mummy. This was a type of
immortality or rising again. Osiris is krast, or embalmed and
mummified for the resurrection. Passage into life and light is made for
the karast-dead through the embalmment of the good Osiris (Rit., ch.
162) - that is, through his being karast as the mummy type. Thus the
Egyptian krast was the pre-Christian Christ, and the pictures in the
Roman Catacombs preserve the proof. The passing of the karast into
the Christ is depicted in the gnostic iconography. It is in the form of a
child bound up in the swathings of a diminutive Egyptian mummy, with
the halo and cross of the four quarters round its head, which show its
solar origin. It is the divine infant which has the head of Ra in the Ritual
who says, "I am the babe; I renew myself, and I grow young again"
(chs. 42 and 43). The karast mummy is the type of resurrection in the
Roman Catacombs because the karast was the prototypal Christ. It is
the Egyptian karast as thing and word that supplied and will explain
the Greek Christ, Christos, Krstos, or Latin Chrestus and account for the
Corpus Christi, the anointed, the Saviour, doctrinally, typically, actually
in every way except historically, and of that the karast, Krstos, or
Christ is entirely independent. "Henceforth", said a dignitary of the
Church of England the other day, "Christianity has done with the
metaphysical Christ". But there is no physical Christ except the karast
mummy, which was Osiris when laid out and lying down in death, and
Horus of the resurrection standing up as Amsu risen from the
sepulchre, having the whip hand over all the powers of darkness and
the adversaries of his father.
Say what you will or believe what you may, there is no other origin for
Christ the anointed than for Horus the karast or anointed son of god
the father. There is no other origin for a Messiah as the anointed than
for the Masu or anointed. Finally, then, the mystery of the mummy is
the mystery of the Christ. As Christian, it is allowed to be for ever
inexplicable. As Osirian, the mystery can be explained. It is one of the

mysteries of Amenta, with a more primitive origin in the rites of
totemism.
We now claim sufficient warrant for affirming that Christ the anointed is
a mystical figure which originated as the Egyptian mummy in the
twofold character of Osiris in his death and in his resurrection; as
Osiris, or mortal Horus, the karast; and Osiris-sahu, or Horus divinized
as the anointed son. The Christ or karast still continues to be made
when the sacrament of extreme unction is administered to the dying as
a Roman Catholic rite. Though but a shadow of the primitive reality, it
perpetuates the "sacred mystery" of converting the corpse into the
sahu, the transubstantiation of the inert Osiris by descent of Ra; the
mortal Horus, child of the mother, into Horus the anointed son of god
the father. "Extreme unction", the seventh of the holy sacraments, is
indeed a Christian rite.
