Egypt

Egypt dates he uses for the Persian-war guess.

Persian rule in Egypt, broadly, from B.C.

Plato was in Egypt, if Valerius Maximus is followed, as Lewes and G.

The Persian rule in Egypt may be broadly said to have extended from B.C.

They and their descendants rule islands in the open sea, and also the country within the Pillars as far as Egypt and Tyrrhenia.

Noah, as handed down in Libyan mythology, following in this the lines of tradition.* And looking to the diffusion of this worship ofPoseidon in Africa, including Egypt, Carthage, Ethiopia, Mauri-tania, and throughout the Phoenician colonisation, we seem to understand Plato's statement that Atlantis once "had an extent greater than Libya and Asia." "For many centuries," says Lenormant, " the Pelasgi of the Archipelago, Greece, and Italy, the Philistines of Crete, the Sicilians, the Sardinians, the Libyans, the Maxyans of Africa, in spite of the distance of sea separating them, united in a close confederation, maintaining a constant intercourse, and thus explaining the Libyan element, hitherto inexplicable, in the most ancient religious traditions of Greece, the worship of the Athenian Tritonis and of the Libyan Poseidon." Atlantis takes its name from Atlas—" the king." We hear of Atlas first in Hesiod, as son of Japetus ; his brother was Mencetius ("Mnesius," Plato; "Menu," Lenormant), and, according to ApoUodorus, his mother's name was Asia.

That this testimony of Josephus is corroborated by .the most recent evidence will be apparent from the following references to Brugsch's Egypt (i.

76) "the land of Kush;" and upon the Assyrian conquest of Egypt, B.C.

On the contrary, when the monuments recommence after a somewhat lengthened interruption under the eighteenth dynasty, the horse is seen as an animal in habitualuse in Egypt." On the other hand, the philological argument, the only one to which we can have recourse, would seem to show that the horse was well Known in the East during the period it was absent from Egypt: " The horse was one of the domestic species wliich the Aryans possessed in the earliest times, and the use of which was General

If Plato was himself in Egypt, as Valerius Maximus (Lewes's Hist, ofPhil., G.

Now, if we recollect that Plato's visit would have taken place during the Persian domination in Egypt,* * The Persian rule in Egypt may be broadly said to have extended from B 0.

The dates are from BmgBch'a Egypt.

this legend of a gigantic war, in which Athens was victorious and " brought to an end " (a phrase, by the bye, applicable to the termination of the Persian War, but inconsistent with the destruction of both parties to the contest through " the subsidence of Atlantis "), is precisely the recollections which, in its distorted circumstances, may have remained in Egypt of the Grseco- Persian War, and which the priests of Sais, " the city from which Amasis the .king was sprung," and where a Greek colonyhad been established from an early date {circa 660 B.C.), would have cherished and magnified in^their legend as against the Persian domination, which had engulphed them, as well as the rest of Greece, in a common deluge, subsidence, and destruction, and yet which, BO long as the domination lasted, they would, perhaps, deem it prudent to veil under a legendary disguise.

Smith says, with reference to the statement that he migrated from Sais in Egypt, " But this account is not only rejected by some of the ancients themselves, but by the ablest critics of modern times " (Miiller, Th'irlwall).

This speculation concerning Solon would seem to require that he should have travelled in Egypt in early life, and Plutarch (Smith, Myth.

have visited Egypt in his latter years : Solon, circa B.C.

All these and their descendants were the inhabitants and rulers of divers islands in the open sea; and also, as has been already said, they held sway in the other direction over the country within the Pillars as far as Egypt and Tyrrhenia.

During all time beasts have disputed with man the mastery of the earth, and it is only in Atlantis and Egypt and Yucatan that man has dared to hold his own, and fight them with a mind made strong by many previous victories.

“I had always heard,” she said, “that you colonists in Yucatan were far ahead of those in Egypt in all the arts and graces.

When last I was sent to Egypt to report, the blacks were clearly masters of the land, and our people lived there only on sufferance.

The Egypt voyage and a return was a matter of a year then, as against a brace of months now, and of three ships that set out, one at least could be reckoned upon succumbing to the dangers of the wide waters and the terrible beasts that haunt them.

She’s been a ship in the Egypt trade, and you know what that is for getting worm and rot in the wood.”

And I tell you, a kingdom will not be so hard to carve out as it was in Egypt, or as you found in Yucatan.

“What about Egypt?” I asked.

Who cares for Egypt these latter years?

“I would not take seven Egypts and ten Yucatans.

But in the vagueness of all geographical knowledge in the days of Socrates and of Plato, this Atlantic domain is confused with some Iberian or western African power, which is stated to have been arrayed against Egypt, Hellas, and all the countries bordering on the Mediterranean Sea.

The earliest students of American antiquities turned to Phoenicia, Egypt, or other old-world centres of early civilisation, for the source of Mexican, Peruvian, and Central American art or letters ; and, indeed, so long as the unity of the human race remained unquestioned, some theory of a common source for the races of the Old and the New World was inevitable.

Eor, as compared with Egypt, and the earliest nations of Eastern Asia, the Greeks were, indeed, children.

Egypt and Palestine, under their greatest rulers, recognised her as mistress of the sea ; and, as has been already noted, the circumnavigation of Africa— which, when it was repeated in the fifteenth century, was considered an achievement fully equalling that of Columbus, — had long before been accomplished by Phoenician mariners.

They had, also, a wellmatured system of chronology ; and have left behind them graven and written records, analogous to those of ancient Egypt, which still await decipherment.

Hieroglyphics, as the natural outgrowth of pictorial representation, must always have a general family likeness ; but all attempts to connect the civilisation of Central and Southern America with that of Egypt fail, so soon as a comparison is instituted between the Egyptian calendar and any of the native American systems of recording dates and computing time.

The vague year of 365 days, and the corrected solar year, with the great Sothic Cycle of 1460 years, so intimately interwoven with the religious system and historical chronology of the Egyptians, abundantly prove the correction of the Egyptian calendar by accumulated experience, at a date long anterior to the resort of the Greek astronomer, Thales, to Egypt.

The facilities for all this were, at least, as abundant in Central and Southern America as in Egypt.

The early students of the sculptured monuments and hieroglyphic records of Mexico, Central America, and Peru, naturally turned to Egypt as their probable source ; though mature reflection has dissipated much of the reasoning based on superficial analogies.

Vague intimations, derived seemingly from Egypt, encouraged the belief in a submerged island or continent, once the seat of arts and learning, afar on the Atlantic main.

The only satisfactory solution of the problem seems to present itself in the assumption of the existence among them of a theocratic order, like the priests of ancient Egypt, the Brahmins of India, 1 Vide Prehistoric 3fan, 3rd ed.

But great as is their contrast with the wild tribes of the continent, the highest phases of native civilisation will not compare with the arts of Egypt, in centuries before Cadmus taught letters to the rude shepherds of Attica, or the wolf still suckled her cubs on the Palatine hill.

Had, indeed, the more advanced nations of the New World borrowed the arts of Egypt, India, or Greece, the great river highways and the vast unbroken levels of the northern continent presented abundant facilities for their diffusion, with no greater aid than the birch-bark canoe of the northern savage.

Hence historical research has been occupied for the most part on very modern remains, and the supreme triumph long aimed at has been to associate the hieroglyphics of Central America, and the architectural monuments of Peru, with those of Egypt.

Abbott no longer claims in the discovery of the stone implements of the gravel beds near Trenton, New Jersey, evidence of the existence of man on the American continent before the close of the Glacial period, he still refers the Trenton gravel tool-makers to an era which, at the lowest computation, precedes by thousands of years the earliest historical glimpses of Assyria, Egypt, or wherever among the most ancient nations of the Old World the beginnings of history can be traced.

The civilisation of Central and Southern America is a wholly distinct thing ; and, as I think, not without some suggestive traces of Asiatic origin ; but the attempts to connect it with that of ancient Egypt, suggested mainly by the hieroglyphic sculpturing on their columns and temples, find their confutation themomentwe attempt to compare the Egyptiancalendar with that either of Mexico or Peru.

There accordingly, even as in ancient Egypt, the divine honours paid to the heavenly bodies was an impediment to the progress of astronomical observation.

Worsaae believed that the use of bronze prevailed in Denmark " five or six hundred years before the birth of Christ." In Egypt it undoubtedly was known at a greatly earlier date.

Plutarch tells, in his Be Iside et Osiride, that when Thoth, the god of letters, first appeared on the earth, the inhabitants of Egypt had no language, but only uttered the cries of animals.

Egypt is justly credited with the origination of a system of writing which lies at the foundation of all our inherited knowledge, and which, as Bacon says, " makes ages so distant to participate of the wisdom, illuminations and inventions, the one of the other." Yet the germ of all this lay in the graphic records of the palaeolithic cave -men ; and the very same process of evolution from pure pictorial representation to picture-writing or ideography, and so to arbitrary hieroglyphic signs, or word-writing, is seen in the graven records of Copan or Palenque, and on the ancient monuments of the Nile.

Nevertheless a system of picture-writing, originating among the rude forest tribes with the simple employment of the imitative faculty in the representation of familiar objects, with their associated ideas, had advanced on this continent to the very same stage from which, in ancient Egypt, the next step was taken, resulting in the evolution of a phonetic alphabet,

Nevertheless the assumption of an antiquity in any degree approximating to that of Egypt seems wholly irreconcilable with the evidence.

Mongol ; this, at least, becomes more and more obvious, that they brought with them no arts derived from the ancient civilisations of Egypt or of Asia.

The earthworks of the Mound-Builders, and still more their configuration, are indeed suggestive of a people in a condition analogous to that of the ancient populace of Egypt or Assyria, toiling under the direction of an overruling caste, and working out intellectual conceptions of which they themselves were incapable.

The monuments of Egypt perpetuate the fact from its remote dawn, Punic, Eoman, Gothic, Erank, Saracenic, and Scandinavian races, have in turn subdued others, and made them subservient to their will.

But Juliet, in The Two Gentlemen of Verona, when depreciating her rival, exclaims, " Ay, but her forehead 's low " ; and the jealous Queen of Egypt, in Antony and Cleopatra, is told of Octavia that " her forehead is as low as she would wish it." " The fair large front " of Milton's perfect man is the external index of an ample cerebrum : the organ to which the seat of consciousness, intelligence, and will is assigned.

But another Asiatic race, that of the Hindoos—also associated with a remarkable ancient civilisation, and a social and religious organisation not without suggestive analogies both to ancient Egypt and Peru,—is noticeable for like microcephalous characteristics.

Solon had it from the priests of Egypt, who had written the site, the names of the people, and the series of deeds.

That account says the art was written down, kept in the ark, carried into Egypt, and afterwards taught by Mesraim, son of Cham, and by Hermes his counsellor.

Lower Egypt, which they call the Delta, was heaped by the Nile, and the Nile is called the gift of the Nile by Herodotus.

Since, as he said above, the lower part of Egypt was once flooded by the sea, Libya is certainly not to be denied, when the waters withdrew from the plain of Egypt.

Those who derive the name from the Egyptian word of Cham think that it was written down by Cham, the first king of the Egyptians, the son of Noah, kept in the ark, and carried into Egypt, and that posterity ever afterwards cultivated it as handed on by Mesraim, son of Cham, and by Hermes his counsellor.

He is putting a metal art in the world before the flood, preserving it through Noah, and carrying it into Egypt by Cham.

Upon hearing this, the old man (for I very well remember) was vehemently delighted ; and said, laughing —If Solon, O Amynander, had not engaged in poetry as a casual affair, but had made it as others do a serious employment ; and if through seditions and other fluctuations of the state in which he found his country involved, he had not been compelled to neglect the completion of the history which he brought from Egypt, I do not think that cither [Hesiod or Homer, or any other poet, would have acquired greater glory and renown.” ° / Here again, the lovers of diction may indicate to their admirers, that Plato * The word Aoyovs is, | conceive, omitted in the original in this place.

That he was subordinate to divinely-inspired pocts, from these two causes; because he engaged in poetry as a casual affair; and because when he came from Egypt, he found the city of the Athenians in a state of sedition, and that he was not able, his country being involved in difficulties, to complete the history, which he brought from thence hither.

That Solon, however, went to Egypt, not only for the purpose of obtaining the Atlantic history, but likewise that the Athenians, during his absence, obeyed his laws, which he had bound them by an oath not to violate, is evident.

Por during this time, also, he associated with Crarsus, and sailed to Egypt; but on his return, he became master of the city, which was ina tumultuous condition through the Pisistratida.

“ There is, then, says he, a certain region of M.gypt, called Delta, about the summit of which the streams of the Nile are divided, and i in which there is a province called Saitical.” In the first place, itis worth while to observe how the narration always delivers things comprehended, proceeding from such as are more comprehensive ; from Egypt, indeed, the river, from this Delta, from this the Saitic province, and from this Sais, sacred to Minerva.

With respect to Egypt, therefore, some call it an image of matter; others of the whole earth, as being divided analogously to it; and others of the intelligible, and the intelligible essence.

For thus the Egyptians called divisions of the great parts of Egypt.

And hence, and through these causes, the traditions which are preserved here, are said to be most ancient.” Though rain may sometimes happen in Egypt, yet it does not happen in the whole of it, but usually takes place about the lower parts.

Whence, therefore, does the Nile return?) Porphyry indeed says, it was an ancient opinion of the Egyptians, that the water issued upward from beneath, by the ascent of the Nile; on which account also they called the Nile, the waterer of the earth; and that it returned from beneath; manifesting by this, that what is dissolved in Egypt preserves the Nile.

For it is not wonderful that there should have been an earthquake so great, as to have destroyed sucha large island ; since an earthquake that happened a little before our time, shook both Egypt and Bithynia, and it is not at all paradoxical, that a deluge should follow an earthquake, For this usually happens in great earthquakes, as Aristotle relates, who at the same time adds the cause.

g., as were those of the great libraries of Alexandria, Egypt, by which much was lost that otherwise would have linked past knowledge of the sciences, arts and philosophies with that of the present, and which former, future generations will earnestly endeavor to possess themselves with.

The Pe-le'sen was an aquatic plant that inhabited the stiller portions of the inlet waters along the Rigerze and Mu-zet'ze (marshes) of the southern and southeastern portions of the Lontidri, and closely resembled the species Nymphaea Alotus, or Water Lily of the Nile, Egypt, only that in every way it was much larger.

It was not only a native of Atlantis at the time of the submergence, but indigenous in parts of Egypt and southern Africa at that time, as well as in South America, from which, in connection with the remnants from Atlantis, established the species of their kind, pre-historically known as the Cre'sheck, on the Eastern continent, and the Zel'lus in South America, from which further descended the family Nymphaea Alotus of Egypt; the Nelumbium Speciosum, formerly a native of the Nile ; the Lotus of India and China ; the gigantic Victoria regina of South America, etc.

At the time of the submergence, remnants were left on the Eastern Continent, from which descended trees and fruit, pre-historically known as the No'de, whose further descendants became the pre-historic ancestors of the Apricot tree, pre-historically distributed in Egypt, Armenia, Asia, etc., by migrating peoples.

Barley has its origin in North-em Egypt, it being an offspring from the pre-historic Itisham.

Prior to the occurrence of the Biblical flood, in which Noah was the chief figure, it had become very plentiful in Egypt, and was then known as the Cas'to-rix (see our account of the flood), and subsequent to that cataclysm, it was changed to Diifret, and so remained until the time of the mythical, or so-called Biblical writings, when it was changed to Barley-Cora.

At the time of the above referred to cataclysm, which extended from the regions of the now known Black and Caspian Seas, southwestward through Turkey and Syria, into Egypt, seeds of the Dufret were transported and scattered by means of the fluviatic conditions, during the rising and subsidence of the waters, which established the plants termed Barley-Corn, which became the ancestor of the genus Hordium or Barley.

Prior to the establishment of the Great Sahara Desert of Africa, the Syrian and Sandy of Arabia, some migrated eastward out of Atlantis, across Africa, via the borders of the Karuntic Reende (Inland Sea), through the marshes which gave place to the Great Sahara Desert, into Egypt and Northeastern Africa.

Another migration of these mammals, from the northwestern regions, was instituted southward into the country of Arabia, where they mixed races with the pre-historic Arabian Camels, the former the maternal and the latter the paternal ancestors, whose offspring became the pre-historic ancestors of the Zebus, or "humped Indian Cattle," which further migrated into India, east into Japan, and west into Egypt as far as the African Niger.

(The colossal idea of the great Sphinx at Gizeh, Egypt, was conceived by Shemozan, through his knowledge of the physical grossness of the pre-historic Zentha.) It was of various colors.

As the true Jelwager, or Wolf, disappeared in the tropical regions, the Wolf-allied dogs became non-prevailing, through degeneration and diminution, which established small breeds such as the Jackals, the Foxes, and the Pariah Dogs of India and Egypt, between which no per- ' 147

At the time of the submergence, remnants were left on the Eastern Continent in the African regions, where it pre-historically was known as the Ceru'te (the term meaning purity), from whence it migrated north- eastward and eastward into Egypt, Europe and Asia.

and principally lost at the time of the submergence of the Lontidri, has never been re-established in its then perfect state, by any people who have practised it now known as having existed in Egypt, etc.; nor can it ever be, by future generations, on account of the non-existence now of some of the substances in any place accessible to mortals, for they lie embedded beneath the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, with the Atlantian Codize, once preserved by their marvelous qualities.

When this condition of expansion had reached a satisfactory degree, the exterior of the Codi was washed with a powerful, poisonous preservative, which was distilled from a shrub then known as the Zi'ti-lie (which yet exists in small quan- tities in Egypt and Arabia).

the interior of the eastern pyramid of Egypt, near the ancient city of Cairo.

But there, hundreds of feet in the interior, and hundreds of feet beneath the surface, through polished granite passages, there are the remains of my father, Menkara, with hundreds of millions of wealth, in precious stones, surrounding his mummified form; wealth sufficient to redeem Egypt from the hands of the oppressor, could mortal Egyptians, of this day and age, but obtain pos- session of it.

I am Agatha, the daughter of that Menkara of whom I have written and of whose memory all Egypt is proud.

I am Agatha, whose spirit-picture you have seen, and I have come to this genial race of mortal beings to testify to the greatness of the people of Egypt.

I am Agatha who, when a mortal, was idolized by the brave and hardy sons of Egypt; who wore the royal purple of power, and sailed the Nilus, attended by many people.

In regard to your query, relative to the Great Sphinx at Gizeh, I will say that the Colossal Shemozan, or now known ' "Sphinx," at the base of the great Pyramid at Gizeh, Egypt, of which so little is known by mortals, was, in one sense, of Atlantian construction and sculpture, it having been designed and constructed by Atlantis Shemozan, the first Shacha (ruler), and his son, Atlantis Saban, the second, and subsequent Shachaza (rulers), descendants of the Cuzetens, which latter-named people were descendants from remnant Atlantians, who survived the • 215

Therefore, the sign was worn by each of the succeeding rulers, from the time of Atlantis Shemozan and his son, Atlantis Saban, and on down, nearly to the time of the first Dynasty of Egypt.

Atlantis Shemozan won his title of Shacha, or ruler, by drawing the plan of the great Shemozan, or Sphinx, now having place at Gizeh, Egypt ; a plan which he executed by means of an indelible vegetable juice, and which when complete, was in the form of long tablets, then called Shaz ; i.

This name the image bore, until about the time of the first Dynasty of Egypt, when it lost its great prestige as a sacred monument, or god image, that it had previously held, in memory of Shemozan, the "first ruler," and later, the "god," of the Cuzetens of that region.

Atlantis Shemozan, when originating the image, chose the face of a Lion, since it then, as it had been with the Atlantian ancestors, was a symbol of great strength; a characteristic of the animal well known to the peoples of that region, and especially the ancestral portion, who had migrated through Sfury (Africa), to the region of Siloton (Egypt).

Passing into Siloton (Egypt), with the migratory influence direct from the Atlantian remnants, and not from Elteze or Zanzureta, as the other Art influences had come, co-operative with that of spirit-inspiration, we find the Le-el'va mes Te-ll-u-sa'tic (Art of Architecture) in an original and crude state, but ready for development.

Passing into the pre-historic region of Siloton (Egypt), we find manifest evidence of the first links which we must utilize in order to connect up and re-establish the continuity of the Great Cycle of Architecture.

Egypt was in the golden glow of its glory and greatness, between 10,000 and 12,000 B.

Then came the dark clouds of degeneration, from which that country has never arisen; but the time is yet coming when evidences will reveal the fact of its past greatness, such as will again glorify all Egypt; for revealments, such as have resulted from excavations and researcheSj during recent historical events, are but the beginning of greater and more numerous facts, such as shall not only be obtained by excavations, upheavals, and natural material agencies, but by and through spirit revelation, as this book is now being compiled.

During the above-named period, the Cuzetens were the principal nation in Gasbia, or Lower Egypt.

Some of these we shall give further on, whose once surging population gave their mor- tal bodies, by millions, to the several entombments, or sepulchre?, of Gasbia or Siloton, ultimately Lower Egypt.

C., while Egypt was in its greatness, the oldest, largest city of that region, then known as Ma-wilt'za, had place north of the now known Abu-Roash Pyramid.

It was from the Cuzetens of Abusir, that Menes or "Mena," the first King of Dynasty I, descended, and not from Thinjs, upper Egypt, as claimed in history; and the city of Abusir was a part of the city subsequently termed Memphis, and occupied the same site in part, co-existing as a then ancient part of the portion added by Menes during his reign, and was lost, to mortal knowledge, by being covered with the sediment from the Nile's inundations and the shifting sands.

At his disembodiment the throne descended to Princess Agatha, his only child, and the first female who ever ruled over Egypt.

in subsequent time, were allowed to ascend to royal power in Egypt, and later in other countries.

This is occupied by small structures within an enclosure, similar to the temples of Egypt.

The idea of obelisks and pyramidal forms of structure, and their ornamentation by sculpture and inscriptions, extended into both Egypt and Central America, through descendants of the Cuzetens in the former region, and that of the Gurenzes in the Atlantian influence, such as came through the knowledge the remnants of those two regions had, of the Atlantian monuments and temples that bore out similar forms, and were similarly orna- mented and inscribed.

Therefore, had the Gurenzes survived as a nation, to continue their original beliefs and works, this Continent would have developed the same degree of supposed idolatry as existed in Egypt.

The structures of Siloton (Egypt) are the oldest now known on the globe, and therefore are the proper ones to which we must link the Atlantian influence, since they had their origin in that section through the influence of remnant descendants of Atlantians who settled in the Siloton districts.

The development of this was one of -the principal events in the pre-historic age of Egypt; a period the duration of which was from the time the Kas-a-man'zes •entered Gasbia (Lower Egypt), or the Kal-lu'the-ans entered Kalluthea (Upper Egypt), to the time of the First Dynasty, under King Menes, a period of about 9000 years, and contrary to the proposed duration of 4000 years, as per M.

the works of Hillothean, Calluenden, and subsequent pre-historic Teliusa, as given above, which we utilize as the proper links with which to make the connection of pre-historic events in the Cycle of Architecture, which must be done principally in the regions of Egypt where the pre-historic and historic Necropolis sections are marked with such remnant monumental evidences as are em-bodied in the great Mastabas, Pyramids, Temples, Obelisks, the great Sphinx at Gizeh, etc.

Another example is the Great Temple of ApollinopoHs Magna, at Edfoo, upper Egypt on the banks of the Nile between Thebes and the First Cataract.

swered the same purpose to that structure, that the pytons did to the ancient structures of Egypt.

Passing from Siloton (Egypt) into Zan-zu-reta (Greece), we wish to note that as had been the case with the former, so it was with the latter — the architectural influence came through spirit inspirers and teachers, to the Zanzuretan Meltheon, until they had conceived the ideas of the Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Caryatic orders of Meltheonses, and the peculiar mouldings connected with them, such as characterize the Greek temples, which latter were improved ideas, of similar structures that had been originated in the minds of the pre-historic Silotonian Teliusa, and partially carried out by them.

Therefore, the architectural ideas embodied in the Greek architecture, by spirit influence, were original with themselves, and not borrowed from Egypt, and though in subsequent time, knowledge of the various orders, by and through migratory aid, was known to both the Egyptians and the Greeks, as it was in both countries, yet each had originated ideas of the orders, to the extent of which they existed in the two countries, re- respectively.

Then came the reflex influence of the Roman ideas, as developed by the architects of that period, who carried back the Corinthian styles into Iberia, Gaul, Istria, Greece, Syria, Egypt, etc.

In contradistinction, there are no quantities of columns; no grand pylons; no enormous cloistered courts ; nothing to equal the gigantic Pyramids, or Tombs of Egypt ; the Sphinxes are superseded by winged bulls ; and the slight-cut Intaglio, by magnificent sculptured slabs.

Finally, in consideration of the Architectural influences, viz., those of disembodied spirits, co-operative with the yet embodied, or mortal spirits, through the establishment of the original and developed styles of Architecture, that have arisen and developed from the Atlantian Cemetteza or Arch, and the Kisare or Column, which led up to their exquisite Gretictor or Architecture, which in that period of time embraced the Tilze or Ionic, the Nuzeleth or Doric, the Admus or Corinthian, the Itheze or Caryatic, the lothees or Composite, re-embodied in the original Itma or Column, and Itmas or Arches of Egypt, the Duzees or Dolmens, the Kerelthees or Circles, the Cazudas or Pyramids, the Heltees or Tumuli, etc., that in process of development led up to the magnificent structures of the twentieth century, through the above-named styles or orders of the Greeks and Romans, and the dwellings of all nations, especially the palaces or mansions of the emperors, kings, potentates and other nobility ; the monastic edifices, churches and cathedrals, edifices of governments, states and municipalities; corporate structures, including col-leges, academies, schools, libraries, art galleries, museums, societies, railway stations, etc., among which, as representative epi- cycles of the whole Architectural Cycle, or links with which to connect the modern extension to that of the remote Ancient or Atlantian, the pre-historic, and the Modern-Ancient, m evidence of the ultimatum of the great originating and developing forces, and influences of the seen and unseen, or Spirit and Mortal work-ers, we have chosen such structures as the Mosques of Tooloon and Kaid Bay at Cairo, Egypt; the Temples of Confucius, Shanghai, of Heaven and of Agriculture at Pekin, China; the Kylas of Ellora, and the Temples at Tiravalur, and Tanjore,

During the long ages that intervened between the submergence of Atlantis and the Modern-Ancient historic period, literature and literary styles were re-established in Arabia, Egypt, Greece, etc., as will be seen by our data, given under the various sections.

Passing from the attainments of the Cecacen Keltmes, and the influence of their works, in Elteze, into the region of Siloton (Egypt), to which section some of them had migrated, we find the Le-el'va (art) of Tes-c6n'6-mes (prose) under spirit influ- ence and co-operative with that of the incoming influence from Elteze, being established about 5000 B.

He continued the use of barks and skins for keeping the records, whereon he placed his thoughts and ideas, as his ancestors had done, with the additional development of fastening them into a lengthened form- These he folded in a lapped form, a development that led up to the establishment and utility of the papyrus-rolls of ancient and historic Egypt.

To the pre-historic peoples of Siloton, as of Egypt, the "sign," and the "symbolic" and hieroglyphic" writing characters, represented the soul, spirit and life of the subject — a more profound meaning than modern contemplators are wont to give to them.

Herodotus, the noted Greek historian, as evidenced by his records of the struggles between Greece and Asia, or between the Greeks and the barbarians; also his history of the struggles between Greece and Persia; his description of the countries and peoples of Lydia, Media, Assyria, Babylon, Egypt, Scythia, Thrace, etc.

Passing from the influence of the great Kreesty and his daughter, and their contemporaries, through the migratory conditions into Siloton or Egypt, we find material influences developing under spirit-impression and inspiration, which led up to the establshment of the pre-historic Egyptian Bra (Poetry).

Into Egypt, and Semitic Asia, likewise descended the Egyptian lyre of fan-shape, that ultimately, in the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth dynastieSj sustained various changes in form and utility.

The Harp, of great antiquity, had its origin in Egypt, through traditional influences, carried into that region by prehistoric migrators, who had descended from the remnant Atlantians on the Eastern Continent.

Therefore, the re-embodiment influence of the "art music" began its develop- ment in the minds of the remnant Atlantian descendants, in the region of Siloton (Egypt), in the early pre-historic period, when E-dam-et'kar'a-mar* (instrumental music) and Ziix kara mar* (vocal music) were established in Egypt ; which facts entitle that section to be considered the "mother country of pre-historic music, and the welding link in music" between Atlantis and an- cient and modern countries, though the influence was soon after felt in the many regions to which the descended peoples were migrating- •Pre-hlstoric Egyptian term.

During the time, therefore, that intervened between the submergence of Atlantis and the historic time of Egypt, karamar, both vocal and instrumental, had developed to a considerable degree, under the influence of the then known mortal karlamar or instrumentalists, and zexes or vocalists.

The Chamboret' was a pre-historic edam of Egypt, an impres- sional, or conceived idea, received by the inventor, though imperfectly, from a spirit influence who sought to impress the former with an idea of the Atlantian Ethereleum, but the inventor's idea being thus imperfectly received, diverged, by a conception of the idea which resulted in the production of the pre-historic Egyptian chamboret, which through the remainder of the pre-historic and historic periods of time, sustained several changes, until it became linked into the modern instrument known as the Marim'ba of general use in South America, and also Central Amer, ica, an instrument such as is used at the present time by the famous Marimba Band, now touring the United States.

The influence of the chamboret passed westward, from Egypt and Africa, across the islands of that region, to the West Indies, thence into South America where it developed into the idea of the above named Marimba, and tlience into Central America-The influence of the chamboret, likewise, passed eastward from Egypt, into Persia and India, where it was lost in the changes that took place in those regions, and thus developed into various stringed and percussion instruments of that region.

Passing along the great Cycle of Music, into the region of Arabia, we find the same re-embodied principles as in Egypt, manifesting through developing ideas conceived by the pre-historic Arabians, who, to a certain extent, invented forms of ne-es'i-te (music), though they never became so far advanced in the art as their ancestors, the Atlantians, or even their less remote brethren, the Egyptians.

As was the case in Egypt, regarding conceived ideas of music and the establishment of musical instruments, and of musicians and vocalists in the pre-historic periods, so it was in the regions of Greece.

As the influence passed eastward from Egypt, by migrating peoples, ultimately, in subsequent pre-historic time, the art of flo-re'ci (music) was further developed and continued among the Grecian people, among whom there developed many flo-re'ci-ans (musicians) and shtilte-ze (vocalists) and flo-re'ci-es kii-ze-ertics (musical instruments).

The principal florecies kuzeeltics were the lez'ro and the cel-ce-ret'- With the influence above mentioned, that passed eastward into Greece by migrating peoples from Egypt, a knowledge of the Egyptian Denondrick was carried into Greece, where in subsequent pre-historic time, from it, the idea was conceived which resulted in the invention and development of the lezro and the celceret, which by further spirit-influence, were changed and developed into the historical "chelys," "cithras," or "phorminx," or the class of instruments modernly known as the lyres.

Through his genius as an organist, orchestral master, composer of operas, "water music," te- deums, anthems, etc., he was an influence ; but his greatest influence was felt through his oratorios and secular works, such as dealt with national epics, as evidenced by his didactic oratorios, "Judas Maccabaeus" and "Israel in Egypt," "L' Allegro il Penseroso," "Alexander's Feast," and those dealing with deep religious feeling as his "Messiah," etc.

Passing from the influence of the latter period of Atlantis, to the Sen-ner'ze (painters) ken Sen'trix (and paintings) si Si-lo'- ton (of Egypt), we are further informed, by Anstacia, that tlie art of painting as also of sculpture, had its more remote origin in that country, and subsequently was re-established, in various pre-historic sections of the country, through spirit influence upon the minds of sensitives in those regions, who were artistically inclined.

Returning to Siloton (Egypt) about 4500 B.

C-, we find the friscon'sii tiise fris-con- su'niice (painters and paintings) further de- veloped, and under a change of nomenclature, as was the case in Siloton, or Egypt.

He first influenced by his powerful talent for drawing, sketching, etc., thus further operated upon by siprit influences which caused him to reconceive, and re-embody ideas that had been embodied in the pre-historic works of sand-tracings of Menara, of Siloton (Egypt) ; the pencil drawings of Ferenoso of Mequethus; the portrait outlining of Pietrus of Zanzureta; the alphabetic delineations and leaf, vine and flower representations, of Balzaric of Etzentuan (Italy) ; the zig-zag delineations for window decoration by Plaizo of Etzentuan ; the alphabetic delin- eations of Zewanda of Falkaleit; the outlined subjects of Reinchy of Falkaleit; the sand-tracings of Zewonk of Sederone; the slate-outlining of subjects, by Serasco of Sederone, and the same style of work by Seramensa, of the same country, etc.

His fine painting, in representation of the "Flaying of Marsyas," is a re-embodied idea from the influence of antique sculp- ture; hence, an extended influential idea re-developed from the works of Uthre, Axtrey, Adolphus and Entize, of Atlantis, and through those of Conetry of Elteze (Arabia) ; Edelmaze and Ledelmoz, Denvoses and Tonoka of Siloton (Egypt) ; Debalbus and Tindegin of Mequethus (Assyria) ; Therenze, Chalsemenus, Mel- seos and Secolus, of Zanzureta (Greece) ; Prozelzo and Callenze, of Etzentuan (Italy) ; Pedizeustes of Falkaleit (France) ; Kit-recon and Multsy of Sederone (Spain) ; and further re-embodied, through the works of ancient sculptors, under spirit inspiration and guidance.

Passing into Siloton (Egypt), we find the za'thiis le-el'vii

Further influence, from the pre-historic works of Gelesus of Siloton, whose ideas were re-embodied in the works of subsequent zathus leelvazeets, and later mosaic artists of Egypt, until the more coniplete establishment of the art, had extended throughout Northern Africa, Spain, Asia Minor, Syria, etc., as evidenced by the remnant, antequated, and later mosaic work, found in Algeria, Tunis, and Carthage, of North Africa, all equally elaborate in detail even as those of Rome, the chief difference being in the change of materials from which the tesserae were formed, in accord with the products of the country, viz : being marble of ' 415

These, when utilized in repre- sentation of the eyes, to large heads, made them expressively noticeable, co-existent with the figured panels, borders to the dresses ; the thrones on which figures are seated ; the ornaments above the cartouche ; and symbols upon the latter, thus inlaid with colors; on carved staffs and sceptres; heads of animals, griflfins, etc., as wrought in Nineveh and Egypt (specimens of which are now in the British Museum, London) ; the pre-historic columncaps, wall tiles, and other objects, executed at Tel al Yahudiya, in Lower Egypt, the designs of which are in some form of the Papyrus plant.

The idea being the same as that re-embodied in the pre-historic and ancient works of Greece ; all of which are re-embodied ideas in further extension of those conceived by Creneallus and Gelesus, and their subsequent pre-historic and remote ancient zathus leelvazeets, and mosaic artists, of Siloton and Egypt.

The wood-mosaics, of the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries, were considerably used in Egypt, in the process of decoration in Mohammedan buildings, as evidenced by the idea made manifest through the magnificent pulpits and the woodwork in the mosques, at Cairo and Damascus.

Again, the ornamentation on column-caps, wall tiles, and other objects (as was the custom in Egypt), by placing bits of brilliantly colored glass, or enameled earthenware wrought in representation of papyrus plants, sunk into tiles or columns, as in the Erectheum at Athens, fifth century B.

First Dome, "Creation of the World and the Fall of Man;" in the following arch, "The Deluge;" in the Second Dome, in the second arch, "Noah," and the "Tower of Babel ;" in the Third Dome, the "History of Abraham;" in the Fourth Dome, "Joseph's Dream," "Joseph Sold by his Brethren," and "Jacob's Lament;" in the Fifth and Sixth Domes, "Joseph in Egypt ;" and in the Seventh Dome, the "History of Moses." The interior reached, one is charmed and inspired with the beauty of the main lines of art ; the grandeur and nobility of the perspective; the magnificence of the decorative spirit manifested through the assemblage of embodiments and re-embodiments, embraced in the mosaics on the walls and other elevated positions.

Passing from the celporze nud ush zeuleus ze celportic of the last days of Atlantis, to the ma-ras'ze ken ma-rases si Si-lo'ton, or sculptors and sculpture, of Egypt, Anstacia informs us that the Art of Sculpture had its rise in that country, and after the submergence of Atlantis ; and that it was re-established in various pre-historic sections of the Eastern Continent, through spirit influence, co-operative with mortal spirit sensitives, whose minds were artistically inclined.

Some were even placed in the same position on public buildings, — ^ideas that continued the link of human idol erection, and the introduction of the animal — which ultimately led up to the idea of co-uniting, in representation, human and animal forms — such as ultimated in the erection of all kinds of Sphinxes, in later periods of time, as in Egypt and other countries.

Returning to Siloton (Egypt), about 5500 B.

Therefore, the extension of the epi-cycle of Sculpture is cognizable by and through the existing remnants and preserved sculptures of ancient Egypt, as in other countries, the cognition

the exterior of the temple sculptures, equal to those interior, the figures being such as those of Cleopatra and Ptolemy Caesar; all of these are among the great evidences found in Egypt, while the last-named seems truly a re-embodied idea, in part, of the great Atlantian Pel'zo iish ze Men-se-cu-lus Shelts (Temple of the Illustrate Dead Bodies), work of Pu-cu-len'dale, the original and principal maras of that section.

The beautiful red granite Obelisk (and its companion, now in ruins), of Thothmes I; the enormous granite Obelisk of El- Karnak; monument of Queen Hatshepu, of Dynasty Seventeen, and its companion now in scattered fragments ; the colossal rams, lions, and sphinxes, on the southern approach to the temple of El-Kamak, from that of El-Uksur ; those forming the avenue in front of the temple; those that branch off to the east from the Avenue af Rams, leading to the temple of Khuns, thus intercepting another avenue of Ciro-sphinxes at right angles to it ; the great Obelisk of the Temple of Amenra at Thebes ; the columns of that temple, with sculptural accompaniments, now heaped up in ruins; the Columns of the Sotheum, or Temple of Setee I, at El-Kurneh, with accompanying sculpture in harmony with the worship of Rameses II — all form evidences of the strong stand taken by Sculpture in the genius of Ancient Egypt.

Examples- are to be found, as that on the back of the Propylon, representing a battle, and other scenes of the conquests of the King ; the colossal and wonderful statues of Rameses, in the court of the temple (now broken in pieces) ; and the largest statue now known among the remains of Egypt, being of one block of red granite, of eight hundred and eighty-seven tons, five and a half hundredweight, and sixty feet in height.

The Art instinct, traceable to the same artist-group, created, in addition, the remarkable sculpture, that had place on the walls of the court, representing the battles between the Egyptians, led by Rameses II, and the Kheta or Hittites, near the city of Ketesh, where the King of Egypt is portrayed as routing the chariots of the enemy who are fleeing in disorder toward Ketesh, across a double moat, protected by a force of infantry ; the representation of priests, bear- ing small statues of Kings, the first of which is Menus, first sovereign known in written history; the second that of Munt-hotp, of the Eleventh Dynasty, and subsequent Kings of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Dynasties, as far as Rameses II, who terminated the series ; the marvelous assembly of columns with capitals in the shape of papyrus flowers, and buds of the same plant, placed in the Hypostile hall of the great Rameseum; the curious sculpture on the front wall of the hall, in representation of the putting to rout of a hostile force; the capture of a town by the Egyptians scaling its walls, using lad- ders, while Rameses and six of his sons led the army.

; then on up to the art statuary in marble and bronze, a result, as was the case in Egypt and other countries, made manifest in Assyria and Greece, relative to the development of sculptural styles, due not only to spirit influence inspirationally, etc., but by and through migratory conditions, of pre-historic and historic peoples of those regions, which likewise brought the spirit influence of those various peoples and their original sections, into co-operation from the spirit side of life; hence the greater extension, etc.

C, we find the al-sy'su tiise al-sy-su'mus (sculptors and sculpture) under further devel- opment through the influence of not only Zanzuretan alsysu, cooperative with spirit influence, but that of Siloton cunulaisans, as well; and a change of nomenclature as had been the case in Egypt, and has been with all the languages, during subsequent periods of time; conditions that led up to the establishment of the local alsysu tuse alsysumus, in Greece, at that period.

The greater freedom which early Greek artists introduced into their figures, was always contrasted with the stiflfness of Egyptian statues; and that the legend represented Daedalus as having been some time in Egypt, arose from the fact that Dal- - 453

We pass from the sculptural influence, as affected by the style of ornamental wooden and bronze reliefs, of Egypt, Assyria and Greece, as a link from the Pre-historic, through the Homeric, to the second period of Qassical Art, when a more perfect representation of the human form was established, and the re-born idea of Atlantian Celportic became apparent, in such re-embodiments as were manifested through marble sculpture, in advancement over the art in wood and bronze — as draped figures of goddesses and other subjects; a more natural form of roundness, etc., as evidenced in the works of such sculptors as Archemus, and his sons Bupalus and Athenis, of the Island of Chios (heads of the school of Chios).

The latter was influenced, during his earth life, by an Egyptian spirit sculptor, by the name of Go-lo-o diis, who dated back to a period remote from the time of the production of the above-named "Apollo." The same spirit had likewise influenced the pro- duction of the statue of Apollo at Thebes, Egypt; the two statues differing only in the material from which they were wrought, the latter being of wood and the former of bronze.

Michael surmounting the summit of the tabernacle; statues of the Apostles on the roof; relief of "Hope," between panels with the "Marriage of the Virgin," and the "Annunciation ;" reliefs of the "Birth of the Virgin," and her "Presentation in the Temple;" "The Nativity," and "Adoration of the Magi ;" the "Presentation of Christ in the Temple ;" the "Angel warning the Virgin" to escape into Egypt; reliefs of the "Death of the Virgin," surrounded by the Apostles, and the "Assumption ;" Heads of Prophets, Angels, and Virtues, wonder- fully executed, all combined stand as one of the most magnificent sculptural works in Italy.

The Spi'de Le-el'va Ril Sl-lo'ton (the Terra Cotta Art of Egypt) had its origin in that country about 800 years before the Adomic period.

Therefore, Quilbex and Segawa, under the co-operative influence of spirit inspiration and guidance, originated and established the pre-historic Spide Leelva in Siloton (Egypt), thus em-bodied and re-embodied by them and their subsequent Leelvazeets from the extended Atlantian influence from the spirit side of

The Horziethas, of Conzandeza, or Nubia and Abyssinia, became the pre-historic ancestors of the primitive stock of Abyssinians, and the Barabra, or Berberines, including the Nuba, the Kenons and the Dongolawi tribes in the region of the Nile, from the southern limits of Egypt, to Sennaar.

Afcout the time that the Afectoes had settled in Afecto, there appeared in the same section a tribe of Cuzetens, who had migrated there from Cuzetenne, Siloton (Egypt), who ultimately mixed races with the Afectoes, which brought to them an ethnographic change, when they retained both their former section and tribe names of Afecto and Afectoes.

All the ethnographic and philologic affinities, therefore, exist-ing in the original, and sub-stocks, are due to the mingling ;and overlapping of the above-named peoples in a race sense, during the ages that have passed by since Eastern Central Africa was peopled with the Horziethas, and Northeastern, or Egypt, by de- scendants of the same race, who sustained an infusion of blood from the great Jeretheans nation, through the Libyan and Phian- ician races.

Gasbia, was the first pre-historic name of Lower Egypt, so given by the Kasamanzese of that section.

Kalluthea was the first pre-historic name of Upper Egypt, so given by the Kallutheans of that section.

Gustz was the first pre-historic name of Middle Egypt, so given by the Quzetas of tliat section.

Siloton was the first pre-historic name of the entire country of Egypt, and was thus established about looo years before the Adomic period.

It was at that convention that the term "Siloton" (the term meaning many tribes) was chosen to be the name of northeastern Sfury (Egypt), thus coyerfng a larger territory than Egypt does at the present time.

In the latter part of the Adomic period, the Cuzetenj, or original Egjrptians, who had long before changed their section name, or that of Lower Egypt, from Gasbia to Cuzetinne, renamed that part of Siloton now known as Egypt, and termed it Kem as the name now appears in hierglyphic, or picture-writing records of Ancient Egypt.

The term signified "dark," which not only referred to the dark land, or darkness of the cultivable soil, of Kem, or Egypt, but also referred to the people, who were of a very dark complexion.

The term "Kem," however, sustained a change of form in the demotic character-writing of Egypt, to that of Kemi, used in a dual sense, and referred to the color of both soil and people.

In the hieroglyphic records of Ancient Egypt, the valley of Upper Egypt is termed "to-res," the term meaning "south land," and the plains of Lower Egypt are likewise termed "to-mehit," the term meaning "the north land." The Hebrews termed all Egypt Mizraim ; the term being dual, referred to both Upper and Lower Egypt, collectively.

Mazor was their name for Lower Egypt, and Pathros for that of Upper Egypt.

tribes of the Eastern Nubians, who at first were characterized with the more civilized conditions of their ancestors, the Creitons- After the establishment of the Kaluthians in Kalluthia, portions of them mixed races with the Ogerets, which fact gave rise to a new tribe who settled in the region of the Ge-Hot Ri'ger (Nile River) between Kaluthia and Gasbia, or Upper and Lower Egypt, which section they termed Giistz, and called themselves the Quzetas.

Their descendants became the prehistoric ancestors of the now known Copts, or more properly speaking, Ckoobt or Ckobt of Egypt.

Berbers therefore, are a nation of great antiquity, and from the time of pre-historic ages, and of the earliest history, have spread out over the same extant of country, as at the present time, viz : from the Atlantic, to the confines of Egypt, excepting that district now known as submerged by the waters of the Mediterra- nean Sea.

In fact, the Egyptian are the only preserved ancient records of the Hamitic language, and bear evidence of the broken epi-cycle that had evolved from Atlantis to Egypt.

there occurred two sectional convulsions between the countries now known as Egypt and Arabia, that were simultaneous with each other.

The force further extended southwest to the now known section of northern Egypt, and west to the eastern boundary line of the second convulsion, thus establishing the now known coast line of northern Egypt from the now known mouth of the Nile river, west to Tripoli, Africa, thus completing the eastern extension of the Mediterranean Sea, excepting the southeastern corner, which was established by a subsequent convulsion, elsewhere herein described.

THEIR RELATION TO THE SACRED MYSTERIES OF EGYPT, GREECE, CHALDEA AND INDIA.

It is to Greece, it is to Egypt, to Chaldea, that Americansmustgo in ordertomakenewdiscoveries.

104 Symbols of lower Egypt (from Sir Gardner Wilkinson's works on Egypt), 115 Plate XVII, part II.

Instead of endeavoring to ascertain how and when these ceremonies were introduced into our present system, they have taken it for granted that they were derived from the religious mysteries of the ancients." Now, if we merely consider the tokens of recognition, the pass words and secret words, the decorations of the lodges, according to the degrees into which modern Masonry is divided, tokens, words and decorations nearly all taken from the Bible and symbolical of events, real or imaginary, some of which are said to have taken place in comparatively modern times, after the decline and final discontinuance of the ancient mysteries in consequence of the spread of Christianity; others having occurred in the early days of the Christian era; others at the time ofthebuildingofSolomon'sTemple, allofwhich had certainly nothing to do with the religious mysteries of Egypt, Chaldea, Greece, Etruria, etc., that were instituted ages before the pretended occurrence of those events, then we may positively affirm that

But if, on the other hand, we observe, and it is difficult to overlook it, that these symbols are precisely the same that we find in the temples of Egypt, Chaldea, India, and Central America, whatever may have been the esoteric meaning given to them by the initiated of those countries, we are bound to admit that a link exists between the ancient mysteries and Free Masonry.

These degrees were, it mustberemembered, the only ones originally recognized by the brotherhood; as there are but three in the Society of Jesus; the Neophites the Coadjutors and the Profess; as there were ancientlyamongthe priests of the temples of Egypt, who indeed considered it a great honor to be judgedworthy of admission to the third degree; that is, to participation in the greater mysteries.

No doubt from the Christians who, like the Emperor Julian, the Bishop Synnesius, Clement of Alexandria and many other pagan philosophers, who had been initiated to the mysteries by the priests of Egypt, before being converted to Christianity.

religious mysteries of Egypt, consequently with those of Greece and Samothracia is easily traced; and the resemblance of the symbolical marks and ceremonials of M.

Still, on readingthe visions in thebook of Henoch, and comparing them with what we know of the trials to which were subjected the applicants for initiation into the greater mysteries of Eleusis and Egypt, and those of Xibalba, onecan scarcely refrain from believing that, under the title of Visions, the author relates his experience at the initiation, and what he learned in the mysteries before being converted to Christianity.

The masonic objects found under the base of the obelisk, known as Cleopatra's needle, now in Central Park, New York, show that many of the symbols pertaining to the rites of modern Free Masonry, where used in Egypt by building organizations and architects at least 1900 years ago.

Egypt to learn geometry and astronomy, about 587 years before the Christian era.

Manyofthe rites and ceremonies were therefore brought from Egypt toGreece.

Speaking oftheThesmophoriafestivalsin honor of Ceres, next in importance to the mysteries of Eleusis, Herodotus says: "These rites were brought from Egypt into Greece by the daughters of Danaus, who taught them to the Pelagic women; but inthe courseof timethey fell into disuse, except among the Arcadians who continued to preserve them.

Captain Wilford, in his Essay on Egypt, says they correspond to the words Cansha Om Pan-sha, which the Brahminspronounce everydayto announce to the devotees that the religious ceremonies are over.

They were probably used by the priests of the temples, whose sumptuous and awe-inspiring ruins I have studied duringfourteen years, to dismiss the members of their mystic societies, among which we find the same symbols that are seen even to-day in the temples of Egypt as in the M.

but they must have been very similar to those of the Egyptians, since the civilization of Chaldea and that of Egypt were twin sisters; offspring from the same parents.

We know that from Egypt and Chaldea they were brought to Greece and Eome.

This kind of arch is also found in the ancient tombs of Chaldea, at Mughier in the center of the great pyramid of Ghizeh, in Egypt in the most ancient monuments of Greece, as the treasure room at Mikene, in the tombs of Etruria and other places.

The triangular arches appear, therefore, as landmarks of one and the same doctrine, practised in remote times, in India, Egypt, Chaldea, Greece, Etraria and Central America.

They are not only inscriptions in the Maya language, written in characters identical with, and having the same meaning and value as those carved on the temples of Egypt; but among them are symbols known to have belonged to the ancient sacred mysteries of the Egyptians, and to modern Free Masonry.

We must not forget that Plato informs us that the priests of Egypt assured Solon, ^hen he visited them 600 years before the Christian era, that all communications between their people and the inhabitants of the "Lands of the West" had been interrupted for 9,000 years, in consequence of the great cataclysms, during which, in one night, the large island of Atlantis disappeared, submerged under the waves of the ocean.

Are we not then right if we surmise that the monuments of Mayax existed 11,500 years ago, and that mysteries, similar to those of Egypt, were celebrated in them 'i To support that belief we have the symbols already mentioned as existing in the chambers, the construction of the chambersthemselves, the sculptures carved on the cornice that surrounds the sanctuary, representing cross bones and skeletons, with arms and hands uplifted, tokens that many of the Masons again cannot fail to recognize; besides other emblems that I will endeavor to explain, which exist on the walls of the residence of the priests, an edifice adjoining that temple.

This may be considered the oldest known edifice in the world consecrated to secret rites and ceremonies; and its builders the founders of the sacred mysteries, that were transported from Mayax to India, Chaldea, Egypt, Etruria, by colonists or missionaries.

and also the greater mysteries of Egypt, from which these were copied ?

Will it be said that the mysteries were imported from Egypt or Chaldea or India, or Phoenicia to America ?

There again, as in Egypt, in Chaldea, Etruria, India, Mayax , science was the privilege of the priests and kings.

symbology as their congeners in India, Egypt, Chaldea and other countries.

In Chaldea, the twin sister of Egypt, daughter of Poseidon, king of the " Lands beyond the sea " and Lybia, we find that notwithstanding the apparent polytheistic characterwhich, from the earliest times, religion had assumed, it was possible for the priests

In Egypt they gave that name to the "Sun " particularly, as the fount of all things, the life-giver and sustainer of all that exists on earth.

In fact, all historians agree with Philostratus * and admit that commercial intercourse did exist between Egypt and India.

Whatever may have been the source from which it sprang, it is certain that the priests and learnedmen of Egypt, Chaldea, India, or China, if they still knew the true history of its origin at the time they wrote, kept it a profound secret, and imparted it onlyto afew select among thoseinitiated in the sacred mysteries.

In fact, in Egypt and in Mayax, the figure i i in the hieroglyphs, stands for Earth and Universe.

It will be noticed by examining their plans, that this was also the shape of the apartments in the temples and palaces of Chaldea, of Egypt and Greece; that of the tombs of the Etruscans; hence, no doubt, was assigned to the masonic lodges in our days.

The triangle seems here to represent the whole country, the " Lands of the West," composed of three great continents, " North and South America " of to-day, and "the great island," called Atlantis by Plato, that disappeared in the midst of an awful cataclysm, under the waves of the ocean, as described by the author of the Troano MS.,who thus confirms the account of it given by the priests of Egypt, to Solon.

As to the sign O, in Mayax as in Egypt, it was meant to represent the sun.

Anciently, this country, now well nigh depopulated, was thickly peopled by a highly civilized nation, if we are to judge by the great number of large cities whose ruins exist scattered in the midst of the forests throughout the country, and by the stupendous edifices, once upon a time temples of the gods, or palaces of the kings and priests, whose walls are covered with inscriptions, bas-reliefs, and other interesting sculptures that equal in beauty of design and masterly execution those of Egypt and Babylon.

(Kneph, or be it Kaneh, seems a cognate of can-hel, a Maya word the meaning ofwhich is serpent (dragon) ; they say that this god threw from his mouth an egg in which was produced another god called Phtha, (Thah is another Maya word, it means the worker hence the Maker, the Creator); and Eusebius asserts, "That they represented Kneph, or the Efficient Cause, as aman of a blue color, with a girdle round his loins, a sceptre in his hand, a crown on Ms head, adorned with a plume of feathers; and that emblematically they figured him under the form of a serpent." Will any one with common sense pretend that these conceptions concerning the Creator, we find not only identical, but expressed in like manner and with the same symbols, by the philosophers of India, of Egypt, and of Mayax, are mere coincidences ?

In it Osiris is represented as having become the culture hero of Egypt.

After ascending the throne, having taught his subjects the arts of civilization, he undertook an expedition from Egypt, in order to visit and dispense the same benefits to the different countries of the world.

After the return of Osiris, he conspired against him-and persuaded seventy-two other persons to join with him in the conspiracy, together with a certain queen of Ethiopia named Aso who happened to be in Egypt at the time.

This monkey here, as in Egypt the cynocephalus, is the emblem of the preceptorof Moo, symbol thereforof wisdom.

Osiris in Egypt, Abel in Chaldea, Bali in India, are myths.

So in Mayax as in Egypt, the Sun and the Serpent were inimical.

They told Solon that the greatest cataclysm on record in their books was that during which Atlantis disappeared under the waves of the ocean, in one day and night, in consequence of violent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions; that from that time all communications between their people and the inhabitants of the "Lands of the West" had become interrupted; the occurrence having taken place 9,000 years before his visit to Egypt.

But the imprint of the red hand, so commonly seen on the walls of the temples of Mayax and India, has never been observed in the temples of Egypt; neither did the Egyptianwomen carry their children astride on their hip, as do still those of India and Yucatan, although many other customs were common to the people of these countries.

If the tree and serpent were worshiped throughout the Eastern continents from the shores of the Atlantic ocean to those of the Pacific, from Scandinavia to Egypt and the Asiatic peninsulse, their worship was not less spread amongst the nations that inhabited the "Lands of ibhe West." We find vestiges of it everywhere on the Western continent; from the banks of Brush creek, in Adams county, in the State of Ohio, where still exists, on the crest of a mound, the effigy of a great serpent 700 feet long, entirely similar to that discovered by Mr.

We have seen that the members of the family of king Can, are still worshiped in the temples of Japan, as of old they were in those of Egypt; we now meet unimpeachable records of them, carved on very ancient monuments, on the shores of lake Titicaca, at the foot of the great glaciers of Sorata and Illimani, as we have found them in mythological lore of India and Greece.

But Ma in Egypt as in Mayax, is a word that signifies land, country, and by extension universe; and in Mayax as in Egypt L i is one of the signs for land.

bets, and correspond to .our letter A, the initial of the Maya word Ahau, king.* This would indicate that the central figure was likewise symbolical of the king par excellence, ruler of the empire, whom the kneeling personages that surround it, are in the act of worshiping as shown, not only by their posture, but also by the sign ^, carved on the neck of the macaw-headed figures, the followers of the queen Moo (macaw), which again in Mayax as in Egypt is the symbol of offering, worship, and adoration.

And God said, Let there be light and there was light." In Primander, that modern critics consider the most ancient and authentic of the first philosophical books of Egypt, attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, in the dialogue between TJioth and Primander, the Supreme Intelligence,we read these words of Thoth.

It cannot be argued that this identity of ideas about the origin of things, arrived at by the wise men of India, Egypt, and Mayax, and expressed in as nearly the same words as the genius of the vernacular of these various countries admits, is purely accidental; or, that they have arrived separately at the same conclusions on the subject, without communicating one with the other.

In Egypt the goddess Uati, the genius of the lower country, is at times represented as a serpent with inflated breast, the body standing erect over a basket or sieve, the lower part resting against a figure resembling our numeral 8.

is said to be the crown of lower Egypt.

The crown of Lower Egypt^ , is precisely that worn by certain chieftains, V^*-i whose portraits we see in the bas-reliefs at \T^ Chichen-Itza.

There the peak was worn in front; in Egypt at the back: may be as a mark of respect on the part of the Egyptians toward their mother country, to signify that as the child, Egypt must stand behind its parent, as it iscustomary for children to do among the aborigines of Yucatan.

We must not lose sight of the fact that the winged serpents introduced into the paintings of Egypt, are merely emblematic representations connected with the mys-

blem of lower Egypt (Figs.

In Egypt the kings and queens were honored as gods after their death.

In Egypt the tamarisk was the holy tree chosen to over-

In Egypt, Assyria, and Britain, it was emblematical of creative power and eternity.

Herodotus tells us that the daughters of Danaus instituted the Thesmophoria in honor of the goddess Ceres, in imitation of the mysteries celebrated in Egypt in honor of Isis, and taught them to the Pelasgic women.

That Eumolpus, king of Eleusis, instituted in hisown country the Eleusinian mysteries on his return from Egypt, where he had been initiated by the priests as Orpheus who founded in Thracia those that bear his name; but who taught the rites of initiation, the use of the symbols and their meaning, to the Hierophants of Egypt, to the magi of Chaldea, to the Gymnosophists of India ?

That sacred mysteries were celebrated from times immemorial in the temples of Mayax, Xibalba, Nachan (Palenque of to-day), Copanand other places of Central America there can be no doubt, since besides the symbols sculptured on the walls of the temples and palaces, in two distinct instances, we see the rites and the trials of initiation described in the Popol-Vuh; and as these rites and trials were identical with those to which the applicants to initiation in the mysteries of Egypt, Greece, Chaldea and India were subjected, we are justified in

In Egypt the three thonged fiagelum of Osiris; the triple phallus carried in procession at the festival of the Paamylia in honor of the birth of Osiris, and also the triads, as likewise in Chaldea.

So king Can by his wife Zoo, had five children, just as Seb had by his wife Nut in Egypt; these being Aroeris, Set, Osiris, Isis, and Nike.

May not the remembrance of the existence of these seven ancient rulers of Mayax, have been the origin of the tradition of the seven divine rulers of Egypt; of the seven Manous that according to the Brahmins, governed the world in the night of times; of the seven Richis or holy personages who assisted them; of the seven princes of the Persian court;, and the seven councillors of the king; of the sevenAmeshaspants or first angels; of the seven great gods of the Assyrians; or the seven primitive gods regarded by the Japanese as their ancestors and said by them to have governed the world during an incalculable number of years; of the seven Cabiri, worshiped

The same system prevails in the arrangement of the grand gallery in the centre of the great pyramid at Ghizzeh in Egypt.

Indeed, on this continent, not far from New Orleans, exist the relics of past generations which are as interesting, if not more so, as those of Egypt, Babylonia, Greece, and Italy; as deserving the attention of all students of archaeology, of history, of ethnology, and philology.

Americans have established inAthens schools for the study of Greek Archaeology; in Alexandria, for the decipherment of the inscriptions carved on the walls of the temples, on the obelisks, and in the papyri found in the tombs in Egypt; is it not time

Deucalion says that only in Atlantis, Egypt, and Yucatan has man dared to hold his own against the beasts.

Egypt, inside the story.

The Egypt voyage was a year in the old days of oar and sail.

Much later a woman in the forest says Egypt is in its accustomed darkness, and that nobody cares for it.

She had heard that Yucatan was far ahead of Egypt in the arts and graces, and that he does the viceroyalty small credit.

That is where he gives the older report on Egypt, the blacks, the puny pyramids, and the forts.

The Egypt run was a year, and one ship in three was lost.

Tob has a small old ship out of the Egypt trade, with worm and rot in the bottom, no machines, and not even a steering mannikin.

Tatho will not take Yucatan back, because there is no Yucatan, and he will not take Egypt.

The priest at Sais gives facts of 8 to 9000 years as facts of Egypt, and yet begins with the island Atlantis.

The chain runs from the priests of Egypt through Solon, Dropidas, and Critias the grandfather, aged ninety, to Plato, still a child.

Plato had consulted the sages of Egypt, and it is they who instruct the Greeks through his mouth.

The page ends on the sentence that this is how the philosopher transmitted the instructions of the priests of Egypt.

The Egyptian priest declares that he speaks from memoirs kept at Sais in lower Egypt.

The sentence breaks at "facts of 8" and continues on the next page, headed 30, with "to 9000 years." Those facts are given as facts of the country itself, and yet he begins with the history of the island Atlantis, which was certainly not in Egypt.

This joining of foreign facts and of facts proper to Egypt is therefore a positive proof of what he has just established, and at the same time a formal admission that the Egyptians drew their origin from this island, whose memory Plato preserved for us and which he made famous.

They reigned, on one side, over all the countries from Libya to Egypt, and, on the side of Europe, as far as Tyrrhenia.

The priests of Egypt, careful to keep ancient usages, likewise showed Herodotus the statues of the kings who had reigned over them.

Solon brought the history from Egypt and did not finish it in verse, because he came home to sedition.

Egypt spared, and not forever.

The Nile saves Egypt from the burning.

An earthquake a little before Proclus's own time shook Egypt and Bithynia.

The old Critias laughed and said that if Solon had not taken poetry as a casual affair, and if sedition and other fluctuations had not made him neglect the history he brought from Egypt, neither Hesiod nor Homer nor any other poet would have had greater glory.

And Solon went to Egypt not only for the Atlantic history, but so that the Athenians, while he was away, would obey the laws he had bound them by an oath not to break.

Egypt, the river, Delta, the Saitic province, Sais sacred to Minerva.

He will not call Egypt simply matter, or simply the whole earth, or simply the intelligible.

In Egypt the water descending from on high does not pour with desolation on the plains.

Rain sometimes happens, but not in the whole of Egypt, usually about the lower parts.

In the island there was a combination of kings who with great and admirable power subdued the whole island, many other islands, and parts of the continent, and besides this subjected all Libya as far as to Egypt, and Europe as far as to the Tyrrhene sea.

For it is not wonderful that there should have been an earthquake so great, as to have destroyed such a large island; since an earthquake that happened a little before our time, shook both Egypt and Bithynia, and it is not at all paradoxical, that a deluge should follow an earthquake.

Sea traffic with Egypt is 45,000 years ago (p.

Germans made the inventions above and, hundreds of thousands of years ago, crossed every sea in large rowing ships, learned that the earth is a ball, and reached Egypt, Africa, Polynesia, Lemuria, and America-Atlantis.

In the Atlantic colonies Peru and Egypt, water baptism was in use.

The chief gods of old Egypt carried a cross, the symbol of life and fertility, and so did the gods of the Chaldeans, Phoenicians, Mexicans, and Peruvians, indeed of every culture people of whom old history reports.

The ankh stood in temples and tombs of old Egypt and in great number in the fallen cities of Mexico and Central America.

Embalming lasted in various Atlantic colonies, Egypt and Central America.

In Egypt this became a formal court of the dead, on which the fate of the soul at transmigration depended.

In Egypt only the princes received graves in the pyramids.

The other mortals had to make do with rock graves cut in the edge ranges of the Libyan desert, west of Egypt.

On Atlantis, as in Egypt, a host of slaves stood ready.

If iron was already worked on Atlantis, it is no surprise that iron was used in Egypt already in the time of the first dynasties.

In Palestine hot-air bellows for making iron were discovered, and the digs in Mesopotamia and Egypt brought iron tools from the lowest culture layers.

gunpowder and paper-making were known in Egypt.

Silk and cotton weaves are found in the Peruvian grave chambers as in Egypt.

The highly developed prehistoric cultures in Europe, Egypt, Asia, and America are so alike that they all owe their existence to one race, the Aryan Germanic, and that, given the likeness of the prehistoric Aryans and their still fairly great race purity, one and the same Aryan prehistoric culture stretching over the whole world must be assumed.

Both say that America and Egypt already stood in culture relations in the dark of prehistory, and that through Atlantis.

The color industry of the Atlantic colony Egypt, which far surpassed ours in beauty and durability, preferred to make cinnabar red, which requires sulfur and mercury.

All knowers of old Egyptian culture confirm that it jumped into Egypt, so to speak, already finished.

That is explained only by Egypt being a colony of the Germanic Atlanteans, who transplanted their flowered culture there, as the English transplanted the new Germanic culture to Australia.

Further, Bohuslän picture writings, Wendrin, Das entdeckte Paradies, page 235, report that already 45,000 years ago Germans carried on a lively sea traffic with Egypt.

If Egyptian culture is demonstrably so old, how high must the age of the Atlantic motherland be rated, and if Egypt already knew electricity, lightning rods, the preparation of oils of every kind, of beer, soaps, glycerine oil, paper, glass, and perfume, how high must industrial technique have stood in the motherland Atlantis.

It was a picture writing, as in the Atlantic colonies Egypt, Sumer, China, and Mexico.

Besides, its power reached over Libya as far as Egypt, and in Europe as far as Italy and Sumer.

Compare the culture and art of the old culture peoples in America, Hither Asia, Egypt, Etruria, and Iberia, and the digs confirm it.

The art buildings of ancient time in Central America, in Mexico, Yucatan, Honduras, Peru, Egypt, and Chaldea point to an extraordinarily high age and bear the same traits, the same building style, and the same art forms.

The pyramids in Egypt, Mexico, Yucatan, and Peru are even alike in the inner arrangement of passages and rooms.

In the lowest culture layers in Sumer and Egypt, tools of iron are found.

Ornaments with column capitals in the temple ruins there are strikingly like those of Dendera in Egypt.

Yucatan is the Egypt of the old world.

Egypt was repeatedly hard visited by the red scoundrels, his word.

Just as doubtless, the eyewitnesses who saved themselves on ships brought the terror news into all the world, especially into the colonies Egypt, Troy, Sumer, Iberia, Italy, America, and to the northern Aryans.

Suddenly this net is torn and wiped out, and only a few shreds still hang at the ends of the old culture world, in Egypt, Sumer, Italy, west Asia Minor, America, West Africa, India, and Europe.

Only in Egypt and Sumer were remains preserved by the Aryan priest caste.

Most important for us were the records in Sumer and Egypt, through the following events.

Since the red Hyksos, the Hebrews, thrown out of Egypt, have only a history full of dirt behind them, the history of the Aias and of their twelve Asen families is to be falsified into a history of the Jewish people, so that this people may appear to the other peoples as a people with an imposing, mighty, historical, and god-graced past, and so that the necessary national pride may awake in it, which can drive it to win world rule.

The robber Jewish people thrown out of Egypt is let grow from twelve sons, allegedly immigrated into Egypt, of a man Jacob from Canaan, although one knows from history that the Jews broke into Egypt as a robber people and settled there.

Blond Germans drew as consecrated springs, or as Vikings, into the former Atlantic colonies in southern Europe, Asia Minor, Babylonia, and Egypt, and infused new life by their blood into the dying old culture.

In Egypt the novice, after a row of heavy tests, had to lie down in the porphyry sarcophagus inside the great pyramid.

What scientific works the destroyed temple libraries of Assyria, Chaldea, Babylonia, Persia, India, Egypt, Gaul, and Central America contained is inestimable.

In Egypt, Baldur was honored as the sun god Osiris, and the mother of God as Isis.

His death was celebrated in Egypt in unbridled mourning feasts.

His death and resurrection were already, long before Christ, dramatically presented at the Easter feast in Antioch in Syria, so where the first Christian community arose, and a journey to hell is pictured in one of the finest graves at Biban el-Muluk in Upper Egypt.

When the organized Atlantic priesthood had the animal-men in fear, the Atlantic colonies in Central America, Egypt, China, India, and Babylonia were full of animal service.

Mexico matches ancient Egypt, and Peru matches China, in customs that belong to a time before iron, alphabetic writing, and coin.

The Atlantides invaded Africa as far as Egypt and Europe as far as Tyrrhenia.

Ante was the forty-third nome of Egypt, and Anteopolis took its name from it.

Hieroglyphs and a solar year of 360 days, on the Mexico and Egypt side.

Peru and China, Mexico and Egypt, and the north.

Priesthood was joined to sovereignty, which distinguishes them from Egypt and from Mexico.

Both empires used knotted cords for counting and for memory, while Egypt and Mexico had adopted hieroglyphs.

The translator's note says the kings of Egypt were ordinarily taken from the priests or the soldiers, and a soldier-king had to be initiated into the priesthood.

If the certain epoch of a common origin cannot be found, he still holds that Peru and China, and ancient Egypt and Mexico, show the same analogy that has been remarked between the Scythians or Tartars and the peoples of North America, and between South America and Africa.

Plato, in the Philebus, says the god to whom the invention of letters was attributed was named Theut in Egypt.

Ante was the forty-third nome of Egypt.

The Atlantides invaded Africa as far as Egypt on one side and Tyrrhenia on the other.

The fable of the Titans, men of gigantic stature who made war in Egypt, confirms it, though the Greeks represented them as making war on Jupiter.

So Egypt and Greece keep a constant tradition of a warlike nation from the ocean, thrown on Spain, Italy, and a great part of Africa.

In the first dissertation of volume I of his work on coins, he says he clearly demonstrated that in the time of Abraham, that is 2140 years before our era, coin was current in Asia and in Egypt.

In his Letter III, on the Theogony of Hesiod, he tried to prove that letters were in use in Egypt 2172 years before J.

The letter's own summary says he proves that this period, consigned in the chronicles of Egypt, indicates twenty-five appearances of Sirius, not a literal run of that many solar years of history.

Speaking of the ancient laws and monuments of Egypt, Plato says formally that some will be found of a date even older than ten thousand years, and that when he says ten thousand years it is not a manner of speaking, it is the truth.

The ancient critics explained the fable by saying this Atlas was an astronomer who first carried into Egypt the knowledge of the sphere and of the motion of the planets.

He reports what Diodorus gives for Egypt and says he does not find, in his Amsterdam folio of 1745, the reduction Fréret and Bailly attribute to that historian, a duration of the reigns cut down to 4700 years by taking a period of three months.

Joined to the period of 36,525 years from Syncellus, the obscurity of these cycles makes it impossible to bring to fixed dates the epochs the ancients present from the memoirs of Egypt.

It is nevertheless true that Plato positively assures, as a certain thing, that the laws had been ten thousand years in force in Egypt at the moment he was writing.

Herodotus says that if the soil of Egypt had risen in ten thousand years to the point where it was in his time, one must believe it would have risen double in twenty thousand.

He begins with Egypt.

There, he says, are the nine to ten thousand years Plato gave to the establishment of the laws in Egypt.

Once the zodiac had been divided into four parts, at the equinoxes and the solstices, it could easily be subdivided into twelve, as in Egypt according to Macrobius, or into twenty-four, as in China.

For a very long time Egypt had three ways of counting the year.

The five epagomenal days were added uniformly in Mexico and in Egypt.

The corrections of the sidereal year seemed to him made in Mexico on combinations different from those of Egypt.

He presumes that the basin which forms this barrier was introduced by some great revolution, and that this is the one whose memory had been preserved in the archives of Egypt.

The unanimous testimony of so many writers, who supposed inhabited countries beyond the Atlantic up to the discovery of America, is enough to persuade him that an authentic monument of the ancient revolutions of the globe remained in the most enlightened country on earth, Egypt.

Herodotus had observed them on the high mountains of Egypt, and, to leave no equivocation, says a muriatic juice still oozed from them, which even altered the stones where it was found in the pyramids.

Egypt had kept the memory of the submersion of a great island called Atlantis, situated in the middle of the ocean.

Plato, recalling the archives of Egypt in the Critias, adds that Greece once extended as far as the Po and the Lixus.

Supposing these lands and the Mediterranean basin free of the waters that cover them, the vast rivers that flow from Africa and from America must have formed great lakes there, which discharged into the Antarctic sea and made an island of the vast land in question, as the traditions of ancient Egypt supposed.

On these suppositions, founded on the state of the places themselves, the peoples who inhabited them could pass into Africa and into Europe, extend their conquests, dominate on one side as far as Egypt and on the other as far as Spain and Tyrrhenia, and find no more difficulty in going to America and returning at will.

Thus one can realize, without the least contradiction, all the traditions of Egypt and of Greece, and bring from the ocean those first gods who reigned in Africa.

They are confirmed by the archives that recalled to the Mexicans that their ancestors had come from the east and had passed back, but above all by the conformity of astronomical knowledge, the hieroglyphs, the customs, and the usages that had a common origin and were carried into Egypt by these same peoples.

Struck by the relations they perceived between the usages of the inhabitants and those of ancient Egypt, above all in the preservation of corpses, they could only think too much.

He expects the objection that, even granting the Atlantides spread their knowledge in Egypt, Spain, and the other countries, one still has to explain the likeness of the Peruvians and the Chinese, and to examine the actual position of Asia and of America to the east.

Plato assures very positively, from the traditions of Egypt, that several submersions or deluges had arrived during the space of nine thousand years.

Inachus passed from Egypt into Greece, and Phoroneus was the first who reigned there, according to Pliny, Pausanias, and the mythologists.

He now wants all the ideas, or the dreams, on the different revolutions of our little planet, so as to judge what can be discovered of the probable on the traditions of Egypt and on the passage of the Atlantides into Africa, Europe, and America.

The most important testimony is that of Egypt, whose traditions teach that the sun had changed its course, and that it rose at our west.

The first king of Egypt gave the name Typhon to the frightening comet that appeared under his reign.

The virile parts thrown into the sea, the egg fallen into the Euphrates, the institution of the feast of the phallus consecrated in Egypt, that of the Priapi established in honor of the goddess of Syria, the feasts of the egg, the Hydrophoria, and the fable of Pyrrha and of Prometheus the regenerator are certainly so many emblems of the reproduction of animated beings after this great catastrophe.

There is the date of this comet, which has since made seventy-six revolutions up to 1759, or this Typhon, who raised the sea to six hundred fathoms, who devastated Egypt and even a great part of the globe by separating the two continents.

The deluge of Deucalion, and Prometheus with it, is only the annual inundation of Egypt.

The idea of the inundation of Egypt and of its circumstances having little by little grown obscure in Greece, among the descendants of the Egyptians who had passed there under the lead of Phoroneus and of Danaus, or having been confused with what one could learn there of a Greek translation of Genesis, which already circulated there in the time of Plato, one will from then on have adapted to Deucalion what fitted only Egypt.

One would be wrong, from the title, to imagine he is about to enter into all the details of the infamous orgies antiquity knew under the name of phallophories, in ages later than the healthy theories of Egypt.

The feast of the phalli is native to Egypt.

By the avowal of Scripture itself, it is from Egypt.

The festival was at first nothing other than the simple phallus of Egypt, on which one figured, in relief, the virile part, in a state of relaxation.

The Persians carried the emblem of the phallus from Egypt.

The Hyksos, whether they entered Egypt from the east or from the west, still had the Antilles for a cradle (p.

Those appreciations led him to give the introduction of the Yucatan relation its title, which seemed strange: the sources of the primitive history of Mexico in the Egyptian monuments, and of the primitive history of Egypt in the American monuments.

The distinctive attributes of the divinities of Egypt, Greece, and Asia Minor he found, one after another, among the Mexican divinities, and often with a plausible explanation.

He found nearly the same sign in the proofs of the Troano, often on the same page, and he satisfied himself that it had the same meaning in the Mexican and Maya symbols as in those of Egypt.

It is the same mask as that of Silenus on a crowd of Bacchic monuments, in relation with Dionysus, god of tragedy and of scenic representations, as Quetzalcoatl is in Mexico, and the same which in Egypt often represented the father of the gods, according to Athenaeus and Diodorus.

There is a remarkable connection between this tree and the sacred Hom of Persia, the Oum of Egypt, the Om of Mexico, and the Hom of Central America.

There the gods of Egypt embarked on the Nile, weeping Osiris, gone down to the Underworld, of which he made himself master.

A Chamitic breath, d'Eckstein says, breathes in the dust of the Babylonian, Tyrian, and Sidonian cosmogonies, and the cipher of the same thought is engraved on the monuments of old Egypt.

Egypt seemed destined to give, with the key of its hieroglyphs, the mysterious sense of the ancient symbols.

That key, which he has found, also opens the sanctuaries of India, the sacred books of Persia and of Egypt, and the mysteries of Eleusis and of Samothrace.

The globules that ordinarily surround the mystic mirror recall the seven primitive gods, or the seven first volcanoes that burst on the region gone down under the waves, seven in Egypt, seven in Mexico, seven that become eight, like the Toltec chiefs, whose eighth, the Eshmun of the Phoenicians, Schmun in Quiche, the little servant, at once the youngest and the most powerful, the minister of his brothers, is Tlamacazqui in Mexican, known in turn under the names Topiltzin, Ce Acatl, and Quetzalcoatl.

A migration of peoples from west to east, whose memory, preserved in Egypt, was carried to Athens and celebrated by religious feasts, may belong to times well anterior to the invasion of the Persians in Mauritania, of which Sallust recognized the traces.

The note cites Egypt's Place in Universal History, volume IV, pp.

He also says what the procession of the phallus of Bacchus in Egypt, told by Herodotus, means.

On the page before this section he notes that Typhon was not always, among the Egyptians, as abhorred a divinity as he became after the religious troubles that formerly agitated Egypt, as Bunsen observes and as Mariette remarks from his recent discoveries.

It is to the same souvenirs that one must go back to understand the construction of the pyramids, in Egypt as well as in America, and of so many other monuments scattered on the surface of the globe.

Whether the Hyksos, to whom some Egyptologists attribute them, entered Egypt by the east or by the west, it does not matter.

He recalls what Diodorus says, a passage to which the Egyptologists have not paid sufficient attention, that the successors of the Scythians, renowned for their courage and their strategic skill, extended their conquests beyond the Tanais as far as Thrace and, carrying their arms to another point, penetrated into Egypt as far as the Nile.

In Egypt, as in Greece or in Asia, the antique rivalries of these different peoples, born on other shores, often lit again when the nations issued from their colonies found themselves again in contact in those countries or in the islands of the Mediterranean.

Those migrations, that contact, the wars that followed, and the fusion that operated on various occasions between these nations and their religious symbols, are alone capable of throwing light on the era of the Hyksos in Egypt and on the primitive establishments of the Phoenicians.

The Hyksos claim is the one a later writer will set beside Egypt.

Egypt's golden age sits between 10,000 and 12,000 B.

Egypt between 10,000 and 12,000 B.

This is the Egypt chapter a later writer will actually compare.

Egypt was in the golden glow of its glory and greatness, between 10,000 and 12,000 B.

The Cuzetens are the principal nation in Gasbia, or Lower Egypt, along the Nile through the Pyramidal Necropolis.

The title page adds the subtitle "Their relation to the sacred mysteries of Egypt, Greece, Chaldea and India" and the line "Free Masonry in Times Anterior to the Temple of Solomon." It says illustrated, by Augustus Le Plongeon, New York, Robert Macoy, 4 Barclay Street, 1886.

Subtitle on the title page: their relation to the sacred mysteries of Egypt, Greece, Chaldea and India.

He also calls Chaldea the twin sister of Egypt and the daughter of Poseidon, king of the lands beyond the sea, and Lybia (p.

Readers of Stephens and Norman, he says, still call the builders little removed from savagism, without writing, science, or anything to set beside Egypt, Chaldea, Greece, or Rome.

If one looks only at passwords taken from the Bible, Solomon's temple, and events after the mysteries had ended, Masonry is not derived from Egypt.

If one looks at the same symbols in the temples of Egypt, Chaldea, India, and Central America, a link exists.

Through Ramsay's Architects and the Templars he traces it to Christians who had already been initiated in Egypt: Julian, the bishop he names Synnesius, and Clement of Alexandria.

Masonic objects under Cleopatra's needle, now in Central Park, show him that builders in Egypt used many of the same emblems at least 1,900 years ago.

The daughters of Danaus brought the Thesmophoria from Egypt to the Pelasgic women.

Captain Wilford's essay on Egypt, he says, matches those words to Cansha Om Pansha, which the Brahmins pronounce every day when the ceremonies are over.

When Persians, Greeks, and Romans ruled Egypt, more men entered the lesser mysteries, still grade by grade.

Their high pontiff's title was Hob-mag, Venerable, which in Maya he reads Lab-mac, "the old man." Their rites are unknown, but Chaldea and Egypt were twin sisters, offspring of the same parents (p.

Egypt and Chaldea gave them to Greece and Rome.

hail, triform God!" The triangular arches are landmarks of one doctrine in India, Egypt, Chaldea, Greece, Etruria, and Central America (pp.

We must not forget that Plato informs us that the priests of Egypt assured Solon, when he visited them 600 years before the Christian era, that all communications between their people and the inhabitants of the "Lands of the West" had been interrupted for 9,000 years, in consequence of the great cataclysms, during which, in one night, the large island of Atlantis disappeared, submerged under the waves of the ocean.

Are we not then right if we surmise that the monuments of Mayax existed 11,500 years ago, and that mysteries, similar to those of Egypt, were celebrated in them?

This may be, he says, the oldest known edifice consecrated to secret rites, and its builders the founders of the mysteries, carried from Mayax to India, Chaldea, Egypt, and Etruria by colonists or missionaries (p.

The island is the large island of Atlantis, gone in one night, and the reason Egypt lost touch with the Lands of the West.

If someone says the mysteries were imported from Egypt, Chaldea, India, or Phoenicia into America, he asks when, and by whom, and why the words of dismissal at Eleusis and among the Brahmins are Maya rather than Greek or Sanskrit.

Science was the privilege of priests and kings, as in Egypt, Chaldea, Etruria, India, and Mayax.

Chaldea, "the twin sister of Egypt, daughter of Poseidon, king of the Lands beyond the sea, and Lybia," looked polytheistic, but Pythagoras, Democritus, and others could resolve the gods into powers of nature.

In Egypt that name was given to the sun.

The same triune doctrine among the civilized nations of America, Asia, and Egypt means, for him, that they once communicated.

Philostratus is his witness for commerce between Egypt and India.

The same oblong is the plan of apartments in Chaldea, Egypt, and Greece, of Etruscan tombs, and therefore of Masonic lodges.

The sign O, in Mayax as in Egypt, is the sun, placed in the middle because the sun is the center and the vivifying soul, and so his representative, the Child of the Sun, the high priest, illumined the mysteries and was the fit ruler.

Ruined cities and edifices equal, in his judgment, the beauty of Egypt and Babylon.

These matching pictures, in India, Egypt, and Mayax, are not coincidence.

The oldest civilization conceived them and taught the others, as Egypt taught Greece.

The monkey, like the cynocephalus in Egypt, is the emblem of Moo's preceptor, hence of wisdom (p.

In Egypt the spotted skin of the leopard hung near Osiris.

Osiris in Egypt, Abel in Chaldea, and Bali in India are myths.

The Poemander, which he takes as the most ancient authentic book of the first philosophical books of Egypt, attributed to Hermes Trismegistus: Thoth tells the Supreme Intelligence that all things resolved themselves into light, then a horrid shadow of humid nature agitated itself, and the verb came forth from the voice of light and was carried on the humid principle.

The same words in India, Egypt, and Mayax are not an accident and not a separate discovery.

In Egypt the goddess Uati, genius of the lower country, is sometimes a serpent with inflated breast, body erect over a basket or sieve, the lower part against a figure like the numeral 8, and sometimes a winged serpent with inflated breast and the crown of lower Egypt.

The crown of lower Egypt is the crown worn by certain chieftains in the bas-reliefs at Chichen-Itza.

In Egypt it is at the back, perhaps, he says, as a mark of respect, the child standing behind its parent, as children do among the aborigines of Yucatan (p.

In Egypt: the three-thonged flagellum of Osiris, the triple phallus carried at the festival he calls the Paamylia, in honor of the birth of Osiris, and the triads, as likewise in Chaldea (pp.

Remembrance of these seven rulers of Mayax may be the origin of the seven divine rulers of Egypt, the seven Manous of the Brahmins, the seven Richis, the seven princes of the Persian court and the seven councillors, the seven Ameshas-pants or first angels, the seven great gods of the Assyrians, the seven primitive gods of the Japanese, the seven Cabiri at Lemnos and Samothrace, and the seven great gods of the Nahualts (pp.

Not far from New Orleans, relics of past generations are as interesting as those of Egypt, Babylonia, Greece, and Italy.

41, with the record of the submersion in Egypt and Mayax at p.

From that land a civilizing people carried bronze, astronomy, and a dual doctrine into Egypt, western Europe, and America.

Egypt, and the year 5900.

It is no longer permitted to ignore that the monuments of lower Egypt were built by the first dynasties, while those of the upper Nile belong to the twelfth, and that Ipsamboul, though an extreme of the curiosity of tourists, dates only from the reign of Rhamses.

If this civilization had developed little by little on the soil of Egypt itself, it would not have begun with such master-strokes.

He therefore remarks in Egypt three perfectly distinct human layers.

He finds it again in China, in Japan, in India, in Egypt, in Phoenicia, in Greece, in Rome, at Lavinium, among the tribes of Finnish race, among the African populations, at Palanqué, where it was represented as the first cause of all creation and of all generation.

A marvelous accord, says Creuzer, bursts out more and more between the religious systems of anterior Asia and those of high Asia, and, in general, as to the essential points, between all the mythologies of India, of Persia, of Egypt, of Phoenicia, and of many other countries.

It is the religions of Egypt, not a second geography of the Nile.

He has said that the religions of Egypt and of Asia had among themselves the most remarkable analogies.

He undertook to prove that, well before historical times, the Atlanteans had acquired a marvelous science of which humanity is barely beginning to reconstitute the elements, and whose powerful wrecks are found in the Gauls, Egypt, Persia, and the Indies.

Proof, if it ever comes, has to be an inscription of the kind that still survives from Egypt, Assyria, the Hittites, Phoenicia, and the Northmen.

In the vague geography of Socrates and Plato, that Atlantic domain is confused with some Iberian or western African power arrayed against Egypt, Hellas, and the countries on the Mediterranean.

The earliest students of American antiquities turned to Phoenicia, Egypt, or other old centres for Mexican, Peruvian, and Central American art and letters.

Compared with Egypt and the earliest nations of eastern Asia, the Greeks were children.

They had a well-matured chronology, and they left graven and written records analogous to those of ancient Egypt, which still await decipherment.

Attempts to connect Central and South America with Egypt fail as soon as the calendars are compared.

The vague year of 365 days, the corrected solar year, and the great Sothic cycle of 1460 years, interwoven with Egyptian religion and chronology, prove the correction of the Egyptian calendar by accumulated experience, long before Thales resorted to Egypt.

The facilities were at least as abundant in Central and South America as in Egypt.

Vague intimations, seemingly from Egypt, encouraged belief in a submerged island or continent, once the seat of arts and learning, far on the Atlantic.

What he adds is the northern evidence, and a repeated refusal to derive the arts of the north from Egypt or from Asia.

The hieroglyphs present analogies to the Chinese phase of word-writing, which may modify the estimate of duration, but an antiquity approximating that of Egypt seems irreconcilable with the evidence.

This at least becomes more and more obvious: they brought with them no arts derived from the ancient civilizations of Egypt or of Asia.

Critias relates that Solon brought a history from Egypt.

In Egypt these matters would be better understood.

In Egypt, resort of Hellenes and of mercenaries from western Asia, the Iberian relationships were better understood, the more so because the Egyptians had held possessions in Syria.

In that Atlantic island a powerful league of kings subdued the entire island, many other islands, and parts of the continent, and subjected the inland parts of Libya as far as Egypt, and Europe as far as Tyrrhenia.

Clarke puts his own queries in brackets: Europe, and Egypt.

All these and their descendants dwelt for many generations and ruled in the sea of islands, and further extended their empire, as before said, to Egypt and Tyrrhenia.

Clarke doubts that this means the King of the West held Egypt and Tyrrhenia.

The historical meaning may be that he held the countries next Tyrrhenia and Egypt.

Busiris, king of Egypt, carried off the Hesperides, and they were recovered by Hercules.

The regions where the tradition would be preserved would be Britain, Gaul, Spain, Etruria, the Canaries, Mauritania, Egypt, and Asia.

The legend was preserved in the Canaries (Proclus), in Ireland (Vergilius), in Italy (Cicero), in Egypt (Plato), and in Asia (Aelian).

Babylonia and Egypt had fallen for ages, their material existence annihilated by alien preponderance.

There was no stage corresponding to the absorption of Babylonia by Assyrians and Persians, or of Egypt by Greeks and Arabs.

Telegonus, a legendary king of Italy, and the same name set against Egypt.

When Solon visited Egypt, six hundred years before the Christian era, he talked with the priests of Sais about the Deluge of Deucalion.

Egypt built its religion, he says, on the ages of fire and ice and the victory of the sun-god.

Paul, is quoted that the author uses only Elohim, and that the verses where Jehovah occurs are later interpolations in a very old poem, from a time when the Semitic race had no other name for God but Elohim, before Moses obtained the elements of the new name from Egypt.

Man, he says, crawled backward over a limit of six thousand years, found Egypt, and thought he had reached the beginning, and then the well-buckets brought up the coin.

Gylfe visits Asgard as Herodotus and Solon visited Egypt.

What he claims: the occult arts began in Atlantis, in a primitive or vestigial form, and passed to Europe, North Africa, Egypt, and parts of America with the survivors.

Copper was not worked in the non-Atlantean world until the Middle Predynastic period in Egypt, about 3700 B.C.

The bull-cult began in Spain and France probably 20,000 years ago and spread to Crete, Greece, Egypt, and Babylonia (p.

Magic of an elementary kind is already visible, he says, in the Aurignacian cave-shrines of the Dordogne and in Aurignacian and Azilian graves, ages before Egypt was a cultural force.

He takes the bull through Macedonia, the cave paintings of Altamira and the Dordogne, the Egyptian Serapeum as an architectural elaboration of those cave-shrines, then along the Mediterranean to Crete, Egypt, Greece, Italy, and Palestine.

The Hebrews may also have received the fall of Atlantis in Egypt.

In the preface Robert speaks of three Hermeses: Enoch, Noah, and the king who ruled in Egypt after the Deluge, called Hermes Triplex, that is Hermes Trismegistus.

Copper was not worked elsewhere until the Middle Predynastic period in Egypt, about 3700 B.C.

Gold in Egypt only shortly before.

Others went to Egypt.

In Egypt, he says, it took twenty centuries to extract iron properly from its ores.

That catastrophe took place somewhere about the year 9600 B.C., yet copper was not worked anywhere in the non-Atlantean world until the Middle Predynastic period in Egypt, that is about 3700 B.C., while gold was worked there only shortly before that period.

Memory of them survived as allegory, and was revived in Egypt and elsewhere.

A ruler of Atlantis levied war on the Mediterranean lands, invaded Africa, conquered Libya as far as Egypt, and attacked Greece, besieging Athens.

By about 50 B.C., when the Romans arrived in Egypt, the native mysteries were an elaborate wisdom-religion, with stage-managed representations of bliss and punishment, theatrical lighting, and machinery.

the bull-cult, which had its commencement in Spain and France probably 20,000 years ago, and which spread thence to Crete, Greece, Egypt and Babylonia.

Egypt.

They spread over southern Europe, reached Britain and Norway in the north, and Egypt in the east, and they introduced the Neolithic.

Elliot Smith is quoted on the family likeness between the early Neolithic peoples of the British Isles and the Mediterranean and the bulk of the population, ancient and modern, of Egypt and East Africa.

The note he points forward is that Egypt was not the mother of European culture.

Hall, in the Cambridge Ancient History, page 264, has Egypt originally inhabited by a stone-using Hamitic race, the Iberians, related to the surrounding Semites, Libyans, and Mediterraneans.

The Maya, the Nahua, and the Incas were Neolithic, and he will not rank them below Egypt, Babylon, Greece, or Rome except in the matter of metal implements.

He returns to that reading in the Egypt chapter.

Central American culture resembles Egypt in a general way.

Elliot Smith's school accounts for the resemblance by a slow spread of Pyramid-age Egypt across the Pacific.

The architecture has links with Egypt and a character of its own, which he reads as an art long segregated in an oceanic environment.

It owes nothing, in his view, to an alien system in the way Greek architecture owed debts to Egypt and Babylonia.

He will not enter the controversy over an Atlantean origin of Egypt as a welter of argument.

The shell as the symbol of life in early Spain is paralleled in Egypt.

Osiris, Libyan or western, entered Egypt early, reached a high popularity, and later merged with Ra and Amen, religions of Asiatic provenance, until Osiris was recognised at home and abroad as the deity of Egypt.

Perry of Manchester, and the school with him, seek to show that all ancient culture arose in Egypt and spread in the Pyramid era.

That, Spence says, does not account for the entrance into Egypt, at a much earlier date, of a highly developed Osirian cult with relationships in Spain and northern Africa, where at a date at least 12,000 years B.C.

Spence places that burial several thousand years before any interment of the kind in Egypt.

The Messrs Siret, Belgian archaeologists, think it was brought to Iberia by Easterners from Egypt or Syria, who introduced the sacred palm and a goddess resembling Hathor, a form of Nut, the sky-goddess, and who, expelled from Spain, settled in Gaul, Italy, and North Africa.

Spence accepts the correspondence, and he will not take Egypt as the source.

The idea is in the Book of the Dead, where the soul takes animal and floral forms, and Spence says it appears in connection with Osiris, the western cult, and not with the Asiatic gods of Egypt.

Miss Margaret Murray, lecturer on Egyptian language at University College, London, has identified many Grail place-names with localities in Egypt.

Canopic jars, which went out of fashion in Egypt, continued among the Maya under the Bacabs, the gods of the four coloured points.

His view is that Egypt, Mexico, and Peru resemble each other because all three sprang from one common source, Atlantis.

In Egypt the steps were filled in and the sides smoothed, and the same was frequently done in Mexico and Central America.

Pyramid building in Egypt was not originally Egyptian.

Stone-building rose when the Iberians, descendants of the Atlanteans, entered Egypt.

By analogy, their architecture and art are the prototypes of Mexico and Egypt.

Pylon doorways and polygonal masonry approximate, for him, to Libya, Egypt, Crete, and Carthage.

Cities of southern Egypt resemble those of the Delta.

The pyramid in Egypt, Central America, and Mexico is a reminiscence of the Atlantean sacred hill.

There were certainly cities in Egypt in pre-dynastic times about 6000 B.C., and if we allow a thousand years for the spread of the Atlantean civilisation to the Nile-land, no great stretching of the probabilities is required to date the founding of Atlantis at not later than 7000 B.C.

The assumption that Egypt has no Flood tradition is, he says, scarcely correct, because Plutarch, Plato, and Diodorus Siculus all speak of Osiris as connected in some manner with a deluge.

Its architecture held in embryo the tendencies of both Egypt and Mexico: the pyramid based on the sacred hill and crowned by a shrine.

These structures were probably of earth faced with stone, and they were not of stone alone as in Egypt, where the pyramid is a memory of the sacred hill.

Dwelling-houses would resemble those of Egypt and Mexico, brick or adobe sun-dried from mud.

The religion approximated to Egypt and Mexico, and it did not partake of the gloomy horrors of the latter, which were of relatively late introduction.

It was a theocracy, as in Mexico and Egypt.

Egypt and the East may have offered, at first, conditions closer to the old island.

Wilson's own account is that the ancient Egyptians discovered the continent, and that in the decline of their learning and power it was lost, and existed when our knowledge of Egypt begins only as a shadowy tradition.

Africa within the Straits as far as Egypt, Europe as far as Tyrrhenia.

Colonies ran east to South and Central America and the west coast of North America, and west to China, India, the Hebraic-Assyrian areas, and Upper Egypt (file p.

To the west they included what is now China, India, the Hebraic-Assyrian areas, and Upper Egypt.

Egypt is the possible exception, if ancient records still exist, and even then the information would not be as reliable as that of Hawaii.

On a fourth flight he calls a country Nilia, now Egypt, and its capital Thebes.

On a fourth flight the ship Occasion alighted on the Red Sea, which bordered Nilia, now Egypt.

Egypt on the fourth flight.

On the fourth flight the ship Occasion alighted on the Red Sea, which washed the eastern shores of Grabontzi, now Africa, and bordered the country known as Nilia, now Egypt.

From the shore they went on camels to the capital of the future Egypt.

but above all because it bordered the country known as 'Nilia,' now called 'Egypt,' where at that period those beings of our tribe existed

Having alighted, they left the ship, reached the shore by what he calls a hippodrenekakh, and afterward, on camels, came to the city where their beings existed, then the capital of the future Egypt.

On the fourth flight, Nilia is Egypt, Thebes is the capital, and the river is the Nile.

On the fourth flight he calls a country Nilia, now Egypt, with its capital at Thebes, on the river now known as the Nile, and he reaches that coast by the Red Sea, on the eastern shores of Grabontzi (file pp.
