Ancient Order of the Pyramids

ANCIENT ORDER OF THE PYRAMIDS (MYSTERIES OF ISIS) - The mysteries of Isis were religious initiation rites performed in the cult of the goddess Isis in the Greco-Roman world.   They were modeled on other mystery rites, particularly the Eleusinian Mysteries in honor of the Greek goddess Demeter, and originated sometime between the third century BCE and the second century CE.   Despite their mainly Hellenistic origins, the mysteries did allude to beliefs from ancient Egyptian religion, in which the worship of Isis arose.
