Página 171 - And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. And he said unto Abram, know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years. And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge; and afterwards shall they come out with great substance.

Página 31 - No nation of the earth has shown so much zeal and ingenuity, so much method and regularity in recording the details of private life as the Egyptians. Every year, month, and even day of their life, under this or that king, was specially noted down. No country in the world afforded greater natural facilities for indulging such a propensity than Egypt, with its limestone and granite, its dry climate, and the protection afforded by its deserts against the overpowering force of nature in southern zones.
Página 388 - The phallic idea enters, moreover, into the character of all the chief Egyptian deities. Bunsen says: "The mythological system obviously proceeded from 'the concealed god,' Ammon, to the creating god. The latter appears first of all as the generative power of nature in the phallic god Khem, who is afterwards merged in Ammon-ra. Then sprung up the idea of the creative power in Kneph. He forms the divine limbs of Osiris (the primeval Soul) in contradiction to Ptah, who, as the strictly demiurgic principle,...

Página 31 - Egypt, with its limestone and granite, its dry climate, and the protection afforded by its deserts against the overpowering force of nature in southern zones. Such a country was adapted, not only for securing its monuments against dilapidation both above and below ground for thousands of years, but even for preserving them as perfect as the day they were erected. In the North, rain and frost corrode ; in the South, the luxuriant vegetation cracks or obliterates the monuments of time. China has no...
Página 120 - The extent and depth of his geographical researches as known to us through Strabo prove that his historical inquiries were not limited to the world of Hellas, but in this latter department he is more especially distinguished as the first and greatest critical investigator of Egyptian antiquity. His remark upon the tyrant Busiris, as recorded by Strabo, and the ridicule with which he treated the popular Greek legend concerning him and his human sacrifices, may here be cited as peculiarly characteristic....
Página 28 - Pharaonic times—a compilation indeed made at various times and probably in various parts of Egypt, but one the original plan of which unquestionably belongs to the remotest age, and which doubtless, like the other Sacred Books, was ascribed to Hermes, or Thoth. This figurative authorship is no invention of later times, for in the text of the work itself mention repeatedly occurs of ' the Book] as well as of the books of Thoth, and in the vignette to chapter xciv., the deceased himself is offering...
Página viii - As regards the Jewish computation of time, the study of Scripture had long convinced me that there is in the Old Testament no connected chronology prior to Solomon.
Página 437 - Osiris and Isis are the Nile and Egypt. The myth of Osiris typifies the solar year — the power of Osiris is the sun in the lower hemisphere, the winter solstice.
