The words ‘Atumian’ and ‘Atumianity,’ addressed here by the meaning of ‘Human’ and ‘Humanity,’ are derived from ‘Atum’ who is ‘Adam.’ In the Egyptian literature, there is a thin line that differentiates ‘Atum’ and ‘Atum.’ Why denominate the Egyptian Religion by the term “Atumism”? The answer is found in multitude of diverse notions embedded in the Egyptian speech and makes the term in its profoundness the most right for a religion that has been of divine revelation millennia ahead of A. D. This book is a fusion of the earlier research titled “Ancient Egypt: The Primal Age of Divine Revelation, Volume I and II. I am honored to share the full book.

The scholars who are considered on the forefront of the discipline have proved their tendency of teaching misguided ideas about an era they know nothing about. The scholars’ contentions respecting the visual interpretation of the Tomb paintings are refuted by discussing three major arguments, (1) Hierakonpolis Games, (2) Pacifying the Twin-forces of the Soul, and (3) The angelic chariots on the landing procession of nefer-Atum/Adam and Hathor/Eve.

The tomb of the manicurists Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep, Fifth Dynasty, Old Kingdom Egypt, is regarded as exceptional either in its size and architecture or most noticeably in its lively portraits of intimacy between the two owners. The portraits confused the Egyptologists as being unprecedented in the Egyptian tombs. They looked for clues either in iconography or texts and came by three explanations; either they are twins, or conjoined twins, or they are in a homosexual relation. The last speculation has been passed to press and since then the issue of discovering homosexuality in ancient Egypt did not cease of popping up in books, journals, media and web-sites. This paper investigates the hidden symbolization rather than the visual interpretation. The intimate relationship shall be ascertained in view of the pictorial narrations of Predynastic Egypt. The spirituality of the scenes shall be judged by the ancient Egyptian conception of the soul. Question: Are they two or one? This question has never been raised in Egyptology and shall be answered for within the sphere of god Khnum.

It happened only once in the Old Kingdom, mostly at Giza necropolis, and silently disappeared leaving no trace of its essentiality. The subject we are investigating has been a challenge in Egyptology for over a century and none of the theories has gained common acceptance. It is in vain to solve such a long-term perplexity without the original codes already established in my research of 2014. By employing the codes of Predynastic and Dynastic Egypt, a transitory cult of heterodoxy practiced by a sect of priests and nobles shall be investigated and validated.

Part one of this paper has been assigned for establishing the truth of the tomb owner by the name Ni. Ni, the single owner of the tomb, has given the twin-forces of his soul the names Ankhkhnum and Khnumhotep. Hence, his name reads Ni-Ankhkhnum-Khnumhotep where there is no place for the conjugation 'and'. Part two penetrates the profound symbolization and intellectuality of the iconography. The identity of the midget youngsters is revealed. The leading role of Ni-Ankhkhnum is investigated and justified. The marital life of Ni and its impact on questioning the two false doors is here unmasked. Finally, there is unanticipated surprise waiting for Egyptologists but more significant for readers to appraise. Ni has faithfully adhered to the teachings of his forefathers that have been later on spelled out by the Egyptian priests.
