After the deluge in ¿the destruction of mankind¿ the god Ra establishes a covenant with those who have escaped from the flood. He says that what he commanded is well done, and that the destruction of his enemies removes destruction from themselves. ¿Said by the majesty of Ra, It is well done, all this. I shall now protect men on account of this. Said by Ra, I now raise my hand that I shall not destroy men¿ i.e. not again. The making of this covenant after the deluge is followed by the establishment of the New Year¿s festival under the direction of the young priestesses of Hathor. ¿from ¿The Ark, the Deluge, and the World's Great Year¿ It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a ¿hidden history¿ of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey¿s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World¿first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar¿redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 9 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey explores the prevalent imagery across numerous mythological traditions of a global flood unleashed at the behest of an angry god, and shows how they all sprang from Egyptian folklore. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828¿1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.
