Yours is an excellent piece of historically accurate writing Sir. I am glad to know that I misunderstood you. Every thing you have written is true and accurate and congruent with my sources. I don't think I could offer anything more except as an after thought.

You make mention of Pharoh AnkANatan. Again true although he was not the first. What our world today calls monotheism is but an evolution in thinking which comes with some maturity and experience in observation of the world surrounding. There is nothing mystical or supernatural about it

I agree with your trepidation concerning the term "MONO THEISM" The way I look at things the term might be better stated as "MONO-EN-THEISM. After all, we have only one world and mankind is only one kind upon the face of the earth. It's all a matter of semantics I will agree and since all language is by nature a metaphorical representation of reality it can hardly be said to represent truth in actuality. The best any of us can do is to approximate reality for practical purposes.

Keep up the good work
