About this item
by Gerald Massey (Author)
My purpose in the present lectures is to enforce with further evidence, and sustain with ampler detail, the interpretation of facts, which has been already outlined in the "Natural Genesis." My contention is, that the original mythos and gnosis of Christianity were primarily derived from Egypt on various lines of descent, Hebrew, Persian, and Greek, Alexandrian, Essenian, and Nazarene, and that these converged in Rome, where the History was manufactured mainly from the identifiable matter of the Mythos recorded in the ancient Books of Wisdom, illustrated by Gnostic Art, and orally preserved amongst the secrets of the Mysteries.
Gerald Massey (1828-1907), an English poet and writer, was known for his radical and free-thinking ideas, as well as his passion for Mythology and Egyptology, which led him to explore the potential connections between ancient Egyptian religion and Christianity.
