2014 Reprint of Original 1907 Edition [Two Volumes in One]. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Massey was one of the first Egyptologists in modern times to suggest that with the final eclipse of the old Land of Kam [a.k.a. ancient Egypt], a brilliant light had been extinguished in world civilization. There was a small compensation in the often meteoric rise of other cultures subsequently, but the luminance of these later cultures was, Massey suggests, a paler reflection of the Nile Valley sun that had set. In this, the most philosophical of his works on ancient Egypt, Massey leads a tour through thousands of years of sociological, cultural, and spiritual development, all the while pointing, with dazzling reason and persuasive prose, to a distant, common, Egyptian origin. In the first volume Massey was primarily interested in elaborating how the first humans emerging in Africa created thought. What had been evident to him from the outset was that the myths, rituals and religion of ancient Egypt--or Old Kam--had preserved virtually intact a record of the psycho-mythic evolution of humanity. In the second volume Massey examines the celestial phenomenon known as the Precession of the Equinoxes. He believed that only by understanding this phenomenon was it possible to fathom Nile Valley history. The last half of the second volume is devoted to the Kamite sources of Christianity. Massey sought to demonstrate the manner in which New Testament Christianity evolved directly out of Osirian mysteries. One of the more important aspects of Massey's writings were his assertions that there were parallels between Jesus and the Egyptian god Horus. Massey, for example, argued that: both Horus and Jesus were born of virgins on 25 December, raised men from the dead (Massey speculates that the biblical Lazarus, raised from the dead by Jesus, has a parallel in El-Asar-Us, a title of Osiris), died by crucifixion and were resurrected three days later. These assertions have influenced various later writers such as Alvin Boyd Kuhn, Tom Harpur, Yosef Ben-Jochannan, and D.M. Murdock. Review: The Origin of the Bible Revealed - I have had the book as a download for many years now and have bookmarked hundreds of the main points. It is absolutely essential for anyone studying the true origin of the Abrahamic Religions and the Egyptian Son of God Iosa, later called Iesous by the Greeks and then Jesus. It can be difficult at times to follow so much detail given by Massey but one can only understand some of the more 'mysterious' Bible Passages with a thorough knowledge of the Ancient Egyptian beliefs. I would go further and say that one can only understand the Bible if one can read Ancient Egyptian temple and tomb texts and know just how that language worked. There are mistranslations in the Bible from Ancient Egyptian which only become clear when the real meaning is known and how the mistranslation would have occurred. Review: Quality binding. Brand new copy - New copy, arrived in perfect dondition. Binding is tight, with no pages coming loose

The Origin of the Bible Revealed
I have had the book as a download for many years now and have bookmarked hundreds of the main points. It is absolutely essential for anyone studying the true origin of the Abrahamic Religions and the Egyptian Son of God Iosa, later called Iesous by the Greeks and then Jesus.

Throughly researched well written
I have not completed this book, but I find that whenever I read something that was written in the late 19th to early 20th century it often seems to be of superior quality compared to contemporary literature. Massey's writing is comprehensive but also dramatic, and easy to read and still relevant even though it was written over 100 years ago. I would recommend this to anyone who seeks the truth, enjoys excellent writing, and has a desire to go beyond the simple, common place historical explanations and omissions that one is subjected to whenever one delves into the taboo subject of humanity's true origins.

A “must have” reference for all those seeking the profound impacts of Egypt, even today
Despite the full content of the book I have to make this statement: this printed version lacks an index! The kindle version has it and, besides, a “Prefatory” word from the author, a small biography and some of his poetries. And I must include too, the kindle version has a beatiful and colorful stella that seems to be Akhenaton and Nefertiti together under the rays of Aton that ends with blessing hands. The author analogies, the correlations and the monumental research and enormous capacity he had to connect the ancient aspects of the Egyptian History and the achievements of that incredible people to foresee some events that would occur thousands years ahead of their times I have only seen in another work: The Symbolic Prophecy of The Great Pyramid, by Harvey Spencer Lewis. I hope you will all enjoy but I think it’s necessary some affinity with the Arcane Knowledge to grasp all what Gerald Massey intended to give although everyone with an open mind will certainly find more about Egypt than in other books focused only in a time line History.
