How do you pronounce Ptah? Puhtah? -- Jondel 03:37, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Pt-ah. With the Pt pronounced exactly the same as in Ptolomy. The best way to get the pronunciation is to try to say tah, but starting with your mouth closed.
Just like neptah only without the ne. ~~~~
You can also give the modern pronounciation P-tah which is then rendered as Peter where Peter is the 'fisherman', or fisher of men, and generally recognised as 'GOD' proper.
However there is a god and satan (gas) combination at work here where it is written that 'Satan will - always - tell you that he is god."

Say wha.. "there is a god and satan (gas) combination..."?? Okiedokie. Anyways, the pronunciation is found already here at Answers - Ptah. However, the "p" in Ptolemy is like the "p" in pneumonia -- not pronounced at all. So "puh-tah" is good but "puh-TAH-luh-mee" is bad. Confused? Excellent!
I guess it has something to do with whether the word is from Greek or not. " Pneumonia", " psychopomp" and " Ptolemy" are all Greek words and names (note the Ptolemies of Egypt weren't originally from Egypt) so the "p" is not pronounced. Yet, Ptah is not from Greek, but directly from Egyptian, and so the "p" is coincidently pronounced.
(On a side note, learning French as a child in school, I always had a giggle when the teacher said things like psychologue ("psychologist") or pneu ("flat tire") because in French the "p" is always pronounced, even in these words. But in the end, why was a bratty child like me chuckling at the French? Doesn't that make more sense in the end? So English is a funny language.) -- Glengordon01 09:29, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
"Ptah" is a Ukrainian word "птах". It means "bird". 46.200.158.167 ( talk) 11:31, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
When the beliefs about the Ennead and Ogdoad were later merged, and Atum was identified as Ra (Atum-Ra), himself seen as Horus (Ra-Herakhty), this led to Ptah being said to be married to Sekhmet, at the time considered the earlier form of Hathor, Horus', thus Atum's, mother.
I think it probably assumes too much existing knowledge in the reader. qp10qp 03:32, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
There has been much vandalism in the origin on Ptah's name section. I have fixed it as of today. 68.178.124.58 02:58, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
The egyptians were a big fan of Music art, sex, bread, beer and incest and fiction. The one truth they told is "Hey Brothers! I got mom drunk and I raped her!"
Refer to "The Little Black People" of Taiwan, and of course to Modern DNA, they are genetically flawed, they like Beer, Music/Art and Sex/Incest.
There is nothing better to induce a man to retarded creativity such as Incest Music and Booze. Just ask Ham. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.102.39.20 ( talk) 13:20, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
The word itself "Ptah" is Phoenician in Origin, the meaning "Opener" is from no other language than Hebrew. The language that the children of Ham, hence, Cushites, >>>Caananites<<<, and the >>>>Mizrahi (Eastereners (as in East Africa). They spoke the Language of the "Past (language/culture)" or "Passed" (place in time/history), as all of the triplets (Shem, Japhet, and the last issue of the same Ham.
I digress. THe name is Pey,Taw, Heh.
It means Opener. Or Pey (Mouth), Taw (Mark), Heh (Opening/Behold/Look!).
"Ptah" Opener. (The word, is HEBREW!) 65.102.29.63 ( talk) 12:59, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Moreover, Chet can be used as the final character with out changing the meaning of the *ENTIRE* word. however it does modify the over all context.
Pey Taw Heh. would indicate "Open" "bread" or "Free Bread".
Pey Taw, Chet would indicate "Prison/Protected/Confined Bread".
Similar to the way that someone previously mentioned the word "Pita". No, rest assured it is no coincidence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.102.39.20 ( talk) 13:11, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

The intro characterizes Ptah as a demiurge. The page then says that he created by thinking or willing things into existence. This is not what being a demiurge means. A demiurge is typically a lesser god or created being who constructs a world from matter that has already been created, usually by a more transcendent deity. We normally encounter this distinction in Gnosticism, heretical Christianity like that taught by Marcion, and in a few rather isolated religions like that of the Yezidi. In the first two, the transcendent creator was the father of Jesus, while Yahweh was merely an artificer with superpowers who assembled material things.
I don’t know if this category should even be applied to Ancient Egyptian religion. If it does apply, the article is confused about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:5b0:233b:33a8:91d0:27d7:15f2:1ef8 ( talk) 23:08, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
