The Prince of Egypt


This thread is a continuation of some of the discussions started by a few fellow orgers on another thread (http://prince.org/msg/7/447456), about Prince's levels of interest in Egyptology as well as the presence of ancient Egypt related themes in his music and visuals.


Please feel free to continue the discussion here!

Of course Prince's giant ego cast himself in the role of a reincarnate religious iconoclast and king of an empire. He couldn't just be a butcher's boy from India in 732 AD or something!

LOL I believe Anhkaten was also rumoured to be some kind of male/female composite being

A relief of Akhenaton also graces the cover of the single for "Peace"

Akhenaton changed his name from Amohhotep IV, built a new capital and eschewed the pantheon in favour of worshiping one god (Aten) something he was later expunged from Egypts historic records for. He was married to Nefertiti and fathered Tuthenkamon.

On the The Rainbow Children album, Prince sings "The opposite of NATO is OTAN" promoumced as Aten again referencing Akhenaton in his worship of the one god. Any doubt of that is removed when he changed the lyric in live performances to "The opposite of NATO is monotheism"

As mentioned earlier, Akhenaton was stylised in statues as having feminine features and an enlarged head.

He also told Vanity that they had had a past life in Egypt. Egypt was one of the themes in his life, however, once the marriage with Mayte was over and he started to study religion with Larry he no longer believed in his Akhenaten and Nefertiti tale but kept talking about how misguided they were.

I've just been to the Berlin museum last month which has the famous Nefertiti bust on display, and also this one of Akhenaten and it made me think of Prince. However, his passion for eras and people from history always seemed rather superficial and temporary. As far as I know he told Manuela he was King Solomon and she the Queen of Sheba...

I agree and that's what always say when people make such claims. Strangely enough, they were always Cleopatra, Napoleon, or Marie Antoinette. Those seem to be the classics. To me, this rather shows a limited horizon when it comes to history than anything about past lives.

I have also heard from people on this forum that Prince's family tree goes back to Marc Antony. And I ask how do they know this? In my view all this is nothing but romanticizing (is that a word, Larry..?) people and times that were most often nothing glorious at all.

Hi OF4S:


in the message boxes = at the edges there's som hidden messages like "Jesus is King", and several more, discussed once at housequake. com - (edit: its not audio messages)

Is that what we are talking about ( I believe it is).. ?

I do have troubles with posting pics here, since the change happened:

but here... I will try, I have 11 different message boxes from the long version of The One, from BET Premiere of the musicvideo (this intro is longer in this version)....

Absolutely. He seemed to be like that for a lot of things - he seemed to easily lose interest in projects and move on to the next thing.

It's very hard to see what is written. I can vaguely read 'Nefertiti' and 'Anhkaten' but the rest is totally illegible to me (or perhaps I just need new glasses! wink ).

I really shouldn't be laughing as hard as I am. I mean it's cute, but that's just too funny.

Thanks, I had a look at the original links posted by theDance and at 2. I can see another word ('Love') followed by '...' between 'rule' and 'Prince' so the message now reads: "2. Come back... (not sure it actually says 'my son') and rule... Love, Prince & the Revolution"
