In modern Egyptology, sun gods rule the world. God is the sun-god Re. The modern trinity of Father, Son and Holy Ghost is simply a new version of the Re trinity: Khepera at the dawn, Re at noon, Tem in the evening. Khepera has the power of resurrection, bringing the sun back to life after it “dies at night.”
The scarab beetle, the icon of Khepera, is also a representation of Christ. The German artist, Albrecht Dürer, associated a beetle with Christ in various paintings.
Edgar Allen Poe (1809-1849) was the Gothic Christ, forever looking back at the darkest night preceding the dawn of resurrection. Death stalked his personal life. His mother died of tuberculosis when he was two, his foster mother perished in 1829, and his young wife Virginia Clemm also died of TB in 1847, an event which may have inspired some of his writings.
Poe’s Khepera connection was established in his story “The Gold Bug,” in which a gold scarab-like insect provides clues to the discovery of a buried treasure. That tale and the “Murder in the Rue Morgue” created the genre of the detective story and provided inspiration for the characters Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Poe may have changed the course of World War II by featuring cryptography in the story. American cryptologist William F. Friedman initially became interested in code breaking after reading “The Gold Bug” as a child, a talent he would later use to help decipher Japan’s Purple Code during World War II.
Poe’s first book, a 40-page collection of poetry titled “Tamerlane and Other Poems,” was issued in 1827 but received virtually no attention. His streak of Gothic classics did not begin until 1939 with “The Cask of Amontillado,” followed by such works as “The Fall of the House of Usher,” and “The Pit and the Pendulum.” The author’s most famous poem, The Raven, brought an unlikely legacy: the name of a professional football team, the Baltimore Ravens.
Poe’s life overlapped that of Abraham Lincoln, the afternoon god, suggesting this morning god was eclipsed by the horrors of slavery and the coming slaughter of civil war. The life of Poe is one of partial resurrection; he clawed his way out of the grave but never left the cemetery.
A photograph taken of Poe in 1848 hinted at a dark, cold, and lonely future. The title of the portrait, “Ultima Thule” (far discovery), would, by coincidence, also be used by NASA to name the small desolate rock photographed in 2019 by the New Horizons spacecraft, four billion miles from Earth: a fitting Gothic connection between Poe and the Kuiper Belt object.
