Ptah-Peteh-Petros-Rock (Ashlar?)

I read that Ptah, or Peteh, is the real source of the words Petros and Rock used in the Bible. And that as 'chips off the Old Block', so to speak, we are expected to become perfect stones also.

"Thou are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church".


Interesting to note that:

Ptah created the Universe using his heart and his tongue.

Ptah was the patron God of Craftsmen.

Ptah was considered to be the sculptor of Mankind.

Ptah's high priest was called "Greatest of the Controllers of the Craftsmen".

Ptah is often depicted with a tassel hanging from the collar around his neck.

One of his titles is "Ptah South of His Wall" (as opposed to Ptah North of His Wall?)

Another is "Ptah Beautiful of Face"

One of Ptah's 'sons' was Imhotep, the deified architect of King Djoser in the 3rd Dynasty.

And in the rock a new name written… Ptah. ??

I always thought that Ptah was related to the Sanscrit Pitar (father) and of course from Sanscrit to the Latin Pater.

Just found this.. we are back to Ptah, Peteh, Petros, being a rock or a hill.
 
Ptah in Egypt was one of the earliest gods of Creation. Ptah was sometimes none other than the great hill, which rose from the waters of Creation. He was called the "Father of the Gods." And more importantly to these discussions, he was "The Keeper of Sacred Geometry," "Grand Master Architect" and "Creator of the Universe." And with Egypt's vast dedication to sacred geometry in its temples and pyramids, one can see that Ptah was probably the most revered god of all. Pictured above are two depictions of the god Ptah. The picture on the right is Ptah in the geometric "Magic 3-4-5" position. What is displayed here is none other than the famed geometric theorem identified with Pythagoras. This theorem was known in Egypt for several thousand years before the birth of the Greek mathematician to whom it is commonly attributed.

It has already been established by learned men that the Ark of the Covenant would fit perfectly into the sarcophagus in the King's Chamber- which was made out of pink granite. If there was a Pharoah, called Araaraart, then the Ark could well have come to rest on his mountain, The Gread Pyramid (Mountain of Fire). The Mountains of Araaraart?
