Ancient Egypt The Light of the World: Vol. 1 and 2

On screen the book looks like it could fit in your bedroom drawer, but in reality it's quite a tome. If you have any interest what so ever in Egypt, and if you have ever thought to yourself that some parts of the Bible remind you of Egyptian lore - then this is the book to get. Massey have suffered greatly in modern times however. He did a poor job documenting his conclusions, resulting in the great majority of Christians ignoring parts of his discoveries. That said, it is Massey that (for me at least) is a pioneer in the field of comparative religious studies. Like all great pioneers he may not have buildt the city, but he did map the territory for those that came after him. There is little doubt that he was right about his conclusions regarding Christianity being a legacy of ancient Egypt rather than a new revelation. And it comes as no surprise that it took a poet to navigate this epic journey to the heart of antiquity. The ancients enshrined their knowledge in myths and legends - a substance only poets and artists can properly discern. Many view Massey as anti-Christian. But in fact, he wanted nothing more than for Christianity to embrace the full extent of it's own roots. Many of his conclusions have later been backed up by quotes from the early Church fathers. But few Christians today take the time to study even them. It is highly recommended and a classic.

Truth is all-potent with its silent power If only whispered, never heard aloud, But working secretly, almost unseen, Save in some excommunicated Book; 'Tis as the lightning with its errand done Before you hear the thunder. -Gerald Massey this can be read for free online here - theosophical.ca/AncientEgyptIntroduction.htm Also, the first third of this film is all from Massey's work and serves as a good introduction: http://zeitgeistmovie.com/
