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