"The "mas" in Christmas derives from the Ancient Egyptian "mes" which is found in the name Ramesses but which commonly rendered as Ramses. Mes means "birth" and Ramesses means "Born of Ra" the sun-god. Christmas simply means "Christ's birth." Christians tend to think of Christ as having been historical but are hard pressed to explain how his birthday occurs on the same day as earlier saviors as "

Your ignorance is profound. And laughable.

"The "mas" in Christmas derives from the Ancient Egyptian "mes""

It has already been explained where the word 'Christmas' derives from, ignoramus!

" ... hard pressed to explain how his birthday occurs on the same day" - Real educated Xtains know that the early church DID NOT KNOW THE REAL DATE OF BIRTH (shepherds would not have their flocks in the fields at that time of year, thus stuffing up many hymns...) so as a political act, they just picked the most convenient festival they wanted to usurp to stuff up other religions - and for many the most important one. They also pinched another important one to stick it up the Pagans - the Festival of Oestre. Kind of interesting that a bunch of wandering nomads dreamed up a different festival to separate themselves from other previous 'inferior' religions at that time of year ... :-)

As I said, there are places to post this crap, so if you want to post here gibbering nonsense only worthy of "what-if" Science Fiction, fine, but if you insist on what you post being taken seriously, and you given some intellectual respect, just don't expect those who are more widely educated than you to take you seriously, or be overly patient with you when they correct your blatant errors.

Many here will humour you eg "A free developmental translation case of the origin of "Hamlet" could be ha-melech, Hebrew for of the king. " which is intellectually amusing, but they are really laughing at you like the insane in the Asylum at Bedlam, which was a great source of amusement in earlier days. Just don't take their sense of humour as belief in nonsense or support for your gibberish.

This is basically a Music Site. I am prepared to bet $10 that you can't play any musical instrument, or even read the notes. You are only here to troll rubbish. If you want to collect the bet, you will have to reveal to me your real identity sadly, though .... :-) Real Musos are fairly intelligent - they improve their intellect through music, research has discovered. So there are a lot of clever and educated people here, mate - post elsewhere if you want the intellectually challenged to drool over your gibbering ignorant nonsense. A real nutter - a schizophrenic manager, wasted large amounts of resources to convince everybody how stupid I was, then was horrified that the tests he organized showed me more intelligent than him - can you match the 3 in 100,000 mark? :-P
