Discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamun at Thebes, a unique golden shrine, richly adorned with intimate scenes of the young king and his wife Ankhesenamun, stunningly reveals the queen's goddess power in ancient Egypt's royal cult of the sun. In a radical new interpretation Golden Shrine, Goddess Queen uncovers the temple wisdom hidden in the shrine's sensual imagery, showing how a little known yet vitally important divinization ritual holds the key to this sacred art. Performed each new year to restore cosmic unity, its feminine rites transformed the pharaoh, renewing his rulership and enabling him to fulfil his pivotal role in creation as Egypt's anointed king. Far from disappearing once Egypt came under Roman rule, these New Year rites evolved into the Christian anointing mysteries, as recorded in the canonical gospels. The book also explores their continuity in the alchemically inspired Gospel of Philip from the Nag Hammadi cache of secret writings. This vital Egyptian influence has remained veiled and forgotten since the early centuries of Christianity.
