Amazon.com description: Product Description: After the deluge in âthe destruction of mankindâ the god Ra establishes a covenant with those who have escaped from the flood. He says that what he commanded is well done, and that the destruction of his enemies removes destruction from themselves. âSaid by the majesty of Ra, It is well done, all this. I shall now protect men on account of this. Said by Ra, I now raise my hand that I shall not destroy menâ i.e. not again. The making of this covenant after the deluge is followed by the establishment of the New Yearâs festival under the direction of the young priestesses of Hathor. âfrom âThe Ark, the Deluge, and the World's Great Yearâ 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 9 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey explores the prevalent imagery across numerous mythological traditions of a global flood unleashed at the behest of an angry god, and shows how they all sprang from Egyptian folklore. 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.
