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 II,
Massey intelligently argues an Egyptian origin for Biblical
symbology, lexicography, and mythology. Here, he not only asks if the
oldest Jewish and Christian axioms were really born on the banks of
the Nile, he offers a stalwart and profound "Yes!" 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.
