Facsimile reprint of the original edition of 1881. ISBN 9780766108370. In Book of the Beginnings, Egyptologist and mythographer Gerald Massey explores the profound connections between African origins and global myths, with a specific focus on the Egyptian influence on British cultural traditions. The first volume examines Egyptian contributions to British mythology and symbolism, while the second volume delves into links between Egypt, Africa, and the origins of other civilizations, including the Hebrews and Assyrians. Massey?s work remains a significant resource for those interested in the role of Africa as a foundation for religious and cultural traditions, providing an Afrocentric perspective that reinterprets world history through the lens of ancient Egypt.
