Fresh Batch #26: Could the Way Americans View Death Link Them to the Egyptians?

By Dylan Saccoccio

Chief Si’ahl said, “And when the last Red Man shall have perished, and the memory of my tribe shall have become a myth among the White Men, these shores will swarm with the invisible dead of my tribe, and when your children’s children think themselves alone in the field, the store, the shop, upon the highway, or in the silence of the pathless woods, they will not be alone. At night when the streets of your cities and villages are silent and you think them deserted, they will throng with the returning hosts that once filled and still love this beautiful land. The White Man will never be alone. Let him be just and deal kindly with my people, for the dead are not powerless. Dead, did I say? There is no death, only a change of worlds.”

Could the Indians referring to themselves as Red Men, or Red Skins, be something that comes from Egypt?

If you’re interested in Egyptian symbolism, read July’s End with Black Swans (click the image). I wrote, “Red can convey fire, love, and universal tie of beings, men. Yellow is the feminine counterpart to the heat of the fire (red) because it is the light of the fire. This is represented on the Egyptian monuments as men are painted with red flesh while women are painted with yellow flesh.”
