95:3.1 Although the [[culture]] and [[religion]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt Egypt] were chiefly derived from [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:4._THE_ANDITES Andite] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia] and largely transmitted to subsequent [[civilizations]] through the [[Hebrews]] and [[Greeks]], much, very much, of the [[social]] and [[ethical]] [[idealism]] of the Egyptians arose in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile_valley valley of the Nile] as a [[purely]] [[evolutionary]] [[development]]. Notwithstanding the importation of much [[truth]] and [[culture]] of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:4._THE_ANDITES Andite] [[origin]], there evolved in Egypt more of [[moral]] [[culture]] as a [[purely]] [[human]] [[development]] than appeared by similar [[natural]] [[techniques]] in any other circumscribed area prior to the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 bestowal of Michael].

95:3.2 [[Moral]] [[evolution]] is not wholly dependent on [[revelation]]. High [[moral]] [[concepts]] can be derived from man's own [[experience]]. Man can even evolve [[spiritual]] [[values]] and derive [[cosmic]] [[insight]] from his [[personal]] experiential living because a [[Thought Adjuster|divine spirit]] indwells him. Such [[natural]] [[evolutions]] of [[conscience]] and [[character]] were also augmented by the periodic arrival of [[teachers]] of [[truth]], in [[ancient]] times from the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76 second Eden], later on from [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_93 Melchizedek's] headquarters at [[Salem]].

95:3.3 Thousands of years before the [[Salem]] gospel penetrated to Egypt, its [[moral]] [[leaders]] taught [[justice]], [[fairness]], and the avoidance of avarice. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3000_BC Three thousand years] before the [[Hebrew Bible|Hebrew scriptures]] were written, the motto of the Egyptians was: "[[Established]] is the man whose [[standard]] is [[righteousness]]; who walks according to its way." They taught [[gentleness]], [[moderation]], and [[discretion]]. The [[message]] of one of the great [[teachers]] of this [[epoch]] was: "Do right and deal justly with all." The Egyptian triad of this age was [[Truth]]-[[Justice]]-[[Righteousness]]. Of all the [[purely]] [[human]] [[religions]] of [[Urantia]] none ever surpassed the [[social]] [[ideals]] and the moral grandeur of this onetime [[humanism]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile_valley Nile valley].

95:3.4 In the [[soil]] of these evolving [[ethical]] [[ideas]] and [[moral]] [[ideals]] the surviving [[doctrines]] of the [[Salem]] religion flourished. The [[concepts]] of [[good]] and [[evil]] found ready [[response]] in the hearts of a people who believed that "Life is given to the peaceful and death to the [[guilty]]." "The peaceful is he who does what is loved; the guilty is he who does what is hated." For centuries the [[inhabitants]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile_valley Nile valley] had lived by these emerging [[ethical]] and [[social]] [[standards]] before they ever [[entertained]] the later [[concepts]] of right and wrong—good and bad.

95:3.5 Egypt was [[intellectual]] and [[moral]] but not overly [[spiritual]]. In six thousand years only four great [[prophets]] arose among the Egyptians. [http://www.maat.sofiatopia.org/amen_em_apt.htm Amenemope] they followed for a [[season]]; ''Okhban'' they murdered; [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikhnaton Ikhnaton] they accepted but halfheartedly for one short [[generation]]; [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] they rejected. Again was it [[political]] rather than [[religious]] circumstances that made it easy for [[Abraham]] and, later on, for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_(son_of_Jacob) Joseph] to exert great [[influence]] throughout Egypt in behalf of the [[Salem]] teachings of one God. But when the [[Salem]] missionaries first entered Egypt, they encountered this highly [[ethical]] [[culture]] of [[evolution]] blended with the [[modified]] [[moral]] [[standards]] of Mesopotamian immigrants. These early Nile valley [[teachers]] were the first to proclaim [[conscience]] as the [[mandate]] of [[God]], the [[voice]] of [[Deity]].
