The Akhet
The Akhet is a very interesting subject. Our ancestors wanted to paint a picture of how the earth (Geb) was formed to give life and how in this writer's theory would eventually end. In the picture above is a illustration of the Akhet which is the story of how in the beginning of this lifecycle the sun/Ra melted the ice in Antarctica and gives water to cultivate the earth until the sun burns all the way through the earth. The ancestors called it the Akhet. Changing of the seasons. That is why the earth is going through all the physical changes today.
When you study the pert-m heru (book of the dead) it gives a clue of that happening.
The Amduat (Ancient Egyptian: jmj dwꜣt, literally "That Which Is In the Afterworld", also translated as "Text of the Hidden Chamber Which is in the Underworld" and "Book of What is in the Underworld")[1] is an important ancient Egyptian funerary text of the New Kingdom of Egypt. Like many funerary texts, it was found written on the inside of the pharaoh's tomb for reference. Unlike other funerary texts, however, it was reserved only for pharaohs (until the Twenty-first Dynasty almost exclusively) or very favored nobility.
It tells the story of Ra, the Egyptian sun god who travels through the underworld, from the time when the sun sets in the west and rises again in the east. It is said that the dead Pharaoh is taking this same journey, ultimately to become one with Ra and live forever.
The underworld is divided into twelve hours of the night, each representing different allies and enemies for the Pharaoh/sun god to encounter. The Amduat names all of these gods and monsters. The main purpose of the Amduat is to give the names of these gods and monsters to the spirit of the dead Pharaoh, so he can call upon them for help or use their name to defeat them.
As well as enumerating and naming the inhabitants of the Duat, both good and bad, the illustrations of the work show clearly the topography of the underworld. The earliest complete version of the Amduat is found in KV34, the tomb of Thutmose III in the Valley of the Kings.
Burial chamber of KV35, the tomb of Amenhotep II, decorated with scenes from the Amduat.
In hour 1 the sun god enters the western horizon (akhet) which is a transition between day and night.
in the first hour the sun god Ra (which is a representation of man on earth (atum) will enter the Akhet.
The Akhet
Above is another picture of the Akhet
If you notice man (atum) is in the center of the sun (when ra (man) enters the Akhet) and the sun is melting the ice that stands on the highest mountain on earth. Its in white. There is no white mountain except ice. That is the clue.
Akhet is an Egyptian hieroglyph that represents the sun rising over a mountain. It is translated as "horizon" or "the place in the sky where the sun rises" Mountain with the Rising Sun" and an ideogram for "horizon".
Considering this, what happens during Akhet?
During Peret, ancient Egyptians planted their crops, such as grains, some fruits and vegetables, and flax. As the plants ripened, it became Shemu, the Season of Harvest. Crops were harvested, people celebrated, and then the Nile flooded again and re-fertilized the soil as Akhet returned.
This is interesting. So based on what they are saying in the illustration the earth will flood first once the ice has all melted in Antarctica and then the earth will flood and then dry. That is when mankind will enter the akhet.
