Summary:
After enjoying years as a popular journalist and poet, intellectual
and freethinker Gerald Massey turned his vast studies in the field of
Egyptology into A Book of the Beginnings, a bold statement that the
origin of all civilization lays in ancient Egypt. His assertions,
radical at the time-indeed, almost a century before the discovery of
three-million-year-old human remains in Africa-resonate loudly today,
when molecular biology is making corresponding discoveries alongside
the still-raging creation-versus-evolution controversy. In Volume I,
Massey lays the foundation of the Egypt-centric position through a
scholarly comparative analysis of language, names, and
mythology-delving not only into our most basic actions of naming and
communicating, but also man's beloved, universal myths of death,
awakenings, and love. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907)
published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and
theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology,
including The Natural Genesis and Ancient Egypt: The Light of the
World.
