Necropan

Le Grand Voyage

Necropan (Africa): The African continent, crossed by Zailm and his companions during their travels.

We crossed equatorial Necropan (Africa), then the Indian Ocean and the present East Indies, but then colonies of Suem called Uz, then onward above the wide Pacific, still eastward.

That is, we would head our vailx southeast for the Necropan coast, then southwest for Caiphul, and though the extra distance would be several thousand miles, the increased speed attained would allow us to reach our destination in time to take our breakfast at home.

The Waters of Light

Necropan – An ancient region that corresponds to present-day Africa, once unified under one government.

Then still on east across the country of Necropan, which country, now called Egypt, Abyminia, etc., then embraced the entire continent of Africa, under one government similar to that of Suern, and was inhabited by a people of kindred powers, but not nearly so far advanced.

Leaving Necropan, the route would be across the sea to India, or, as we knew the names, across the "Waters of Light" (in reference to their phosphorescence) to Suernis.

Technology vs Spirituality

The text contrasts the advanced civilizations of Poseid with those of Suemis (Hindustan) and Necropan (Egypt).

In contrast, Suemis and Necropan are portrayed as civilizations deeply rooted in spiritual and occult knowledge.

Despite Poseid's technological prowess, they recognize the superiority of Suemis and Necropan in controlling unseen forces, which pose a significant threat to even the most advanced Poseidian technologies.

The text suggests that while Poseid excels in material achievements, Suemis and Necropan have achieved a higher level of power through their deep understanding of the occult, making them formidable and respected, if somewhat scorned, by the Poseidians.

Necropan - The ancient name for Egypt, another spiritually advanced civilization akin to Suemis.

I was not averse to doing as he desired, and as the duty took me to a land barely mentioned hitherto, the account of my long-ago vacation trip may be prefaced by a description of Suemis, now called Hindustan, and Necropan or Egypt, the most civilized nations not under Poseid supremacy.

The theocratic policy of the Israelites was a case in point and, as the reader will ere long perceive, Suemis and Necropan were examples yet earlier in the history of the world.

Suemis and Necropan were possessed of a civilization which I now perceive to have been on par with our own, though so different.

Not so with Suern or with Necropan.

What, then, availed our attainments if opposed to those of Suemis and Necropan?
