THE 4 RACES IN THE BOOK OF GATES.

The Book of the Gates is an ancient Egyptian funerary text that were used, usually to help the spirit of the concerned person to be preserved in the Afterlife.
In the Book of Gates the 4 races of the World are depicted in procession entering the next World.   They were: Libyan (Them'Ehu), Nubian (Neh'Esu), Asiatic (Aamu), and Egypthian (Reth).
-LIBYAN is referred to the West region of the Nile River. Its people were ancestors of the modern Berbers. Berbers occupied the area for thousands of years before the beginning of human records.
For the Egyptians, Libya was the Land of the Spirits. Homer, the blind Greek writer, called Libya, in his Odyssey, "Lotus-Eaters." A race of people, leaving on an island dominated by Lotus plants. The fruits and flowers of the plant were narcotic, causing the people to sleep in peaceful apathy (lack of feeling, emotion, interest and concern), lacking the sense of purpose, worth, or meaning in their life.
Odysseus narrated the experience as follows, "... I sent 2 of my company to see what manner of men the people of that place might be, and they had a 3rd man under them. The Lotus-eaters did not harm them, but gave the Lotus to eat, which was so delicious that those who ate it was left off caring about home, and did not even want to go back and say what happened to them, but were for staying and munching Lotus with the Lotus-Eaters, without thinking further of their return. Nevertheless, though they wept bitterly I forced them back to the ships."
-NUBIA is referred to a region along the Nile River in what is today Northern Sudan and Southern Egypt. The Nuba Mountains mark the Southern border of the desert land and the Northern limit of good soils washed down by the Nile. The Nuba people resided in one of the most remote inaccessible places in all Sudan, the foothills of the Nuba Mountains in Central Sudan. The area was considered a place of refuge, bringing people together of many different tongues and backgrounds who were fleeing oppressive governments and slave traders. Egyptians referred to Nubia as Ta-Seti or "the Land of the Bow," since Nubians were known to be expert archers. Nubia was 1st mentioned in the Old Kingdom accounts of trade missions. Nubians and early Egyptians used related royal symbols. From Aswan, right above the 1st Cataract, the Southern Limit of Egyptian control at the time, Egyptians imported gold, incense, ebony, copper, ivory, and exotic animals from tropical Africa through Nubia. As trade between Egypt and Nubia increased, so did wealth and stability. By the 6th Dynasty, Nubia was divided into a series of small kingdoms. Ancient Egypt conquered Nubian territory in various eras, and incorporated parts of the area into its provinces. The Nubians in turn were to conquer Egypt. However, relations between them showed peaceful cultural interchange.
-ASIATIC (AAMU) refers to the East, or "the rising of the Sun in the East" or the point where the Sun rises. The populations share customs and a very long history. The people from the East were known for its disposition to work with stones and ability in the battle ground by the use of certain ways of combat.
The Asian were known as the people of the Yellow River, which flows West to East, opposite to the flow of the Nile River.
-EGYPTIAN (RETH) were known for its rules of existence and its own model of justice. They settled the norms through its heroes, human or divine and centralized the view that they themselves were gods.
The divinity himself reigned through his son, the absolute king, his incarnation and representative on earth. The priesthood of Ammon attained the most tremendous power by the measure of wealth and its successful conquest of the ones they considered heretics. The temples of Ammon in Thebes became the largest in the World.The word Egyptian means "dark colored" referring to the muddy soil of their land. In the Bible the Egyptians are referred to as "Sons of Ham" or "Children of Ham."
Noah, son of Lamech, 9th descendant in Adam's genealogy, was the central human character of the Flood story. Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japhet.
Noah's story is an account of humanity's depraved condition before the Flood that concludes the list of Adam's descendants, emphasizing the increasing pervasiveness of sin. This ingredient is paralleled in the account of Noah and his sons after the Flood. The depraved behavior of Ham, one of his own sons, shows again how easy humans fall into the wickedness of sin, and through the other sons, how human mind creates by themselves a system of rules trying to avoid the power of such wickedness. GOD's intervention shows that humans by themselves are too weak to face that wicked power, and only through HIM humans are able to overcome it.
