Amazon.com description: Product Description: [I]t was not the genesis of the universe that is imaged in astronomical mythology. The firmament was there; already waiting to be distinguished as upper and lower, and divided into the domains of night and day, or Sut and Horus, or Ansar and Kisar. The constellations were not created from nothing when they were figured out of stars. The firmamental water was not created by being divided into upper and lower. The earth was not created because distinguished from water as ground to go upon.... Heaven and earth existed when these were nameless, and did not come into existence on account of being named. âfrom âEgyptian Wisdom and the Hebrew Genesisâ It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a âhidden historyâ of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Masseyâs massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the Worldâfirst published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholarâredefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 7 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey explains how Egyptian wisdomâwhich greatly concerns itself with matters of the womb and birth, water, and the offspring of godsâwas appropriated by the Hebrew holy books, and explains how the Hebrew account of creation is a clear repetition of Egyptian mythology. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828â1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.
