Egyptian Mythology and Egyptian Christianity: Illustrated Easy-to-Read Layout

"Egyptian Mythology and Egyptian Christianity, with Their Influence on the Opinions of Modern Christendom"

Modern Europe readily acknowledges how many benefits it received from Rome, from Greece, and from Judea, but has been willing to forget how much of its superstition came from Egypt.

When Christians shall at length acknowledge that many of those doctrines, which together now make up orthodoxy, or the religion of the majority, as distinguished from the simple religion which Jesus taught and practised; when they shall acknowledge that many of them are so many sad and lamentable errors; then, and not till then, will they seek to know their origin, and enquire from which of the several branches of Paganism they sprung. They will then see that most of the so-called Christian doctrines, that have no place in the New Testament, reached Europe from Egypt, through Alexandria.

The aim of the following pages is not only to explain the Mythology of Egypt, but to show the extraordinary readiness with which its religious opinions were copied by the neighbouring nations, particularly by the Greeks and Romans.

Samuel Sharpe (1799-1881) was a British Egyptologist, linguist, and writer known for his significant contributions to the study of ancient Egypt and the decipherment of hieroglyphics.
