A native of England  Gerald Massey (1828-1907) was a poet  Shakespearian scholar  mythographer  and radical Egyptologist who maintained that Africa was the source of \"the greatest civilization in the world.\" According to Massey  \"all evidence cries aloud its proclamation that Africa was the birthplace of the non-articulate and Egypt the mouthpiece of articulate men.\" With The Natural Genesis  first published in 1883  Massey continues the work that he began in A Book of the Beginnings. In The Natural Genesis  he delves deeper into ancient Egypts influence on modern myths  symbols  religions  and languages. By proclaiming Egypt as the birthplace of modern civilization  Massey challenges conventions of theology as well as fundamental notions of race supremacy. The Natural Genesis is based on Masseys study of hieroglyphic inscriptions  bone-caves  and cuneiform tables of ancient Egypt. The findings from Masseys years of dedicated research are carefully documented here and encompass such broad areas as religion and the occult  etymology  astrology  and mythology  as well as exploring such fascinating topics as Christian religious symbolism and the origins of verbal communication. As Massey unravels the mysteries of our ancient origins  he moves us closer to understanding our contemporary existence. Introduction by Charles S. Finch. 1883 1998. Two-Volume set. 1087 pgs.
