Resumo

This article examines the context and content of two African philosophers, Akhenaten and Origen, living hundreds of years apart, to establish through reference to texts and records that the memories of the old system found their way into the era of Christian development. The authors contend that the religious ideas that originated in ancient Egypt did not vanish with the arrival of the Christian faith. Indeed, they suggest that there is a connective link, an intellectual chain, a continuity of form and substance that exists from Akhenaten to Origen. The authors argue that although there was a break in the ancient tradition when Christianity entered Africa, it was not an immediate or a clean break, as if one had snapped a twig.
