Rawlinson's Ancient Egypt. -II
September 1, 1881 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "History of Ancient Egypt," by George Rawlinson. The constant regard to the historical development of the religion is a valuable feature of the book. Rawlinson's view of the Egyptian religion seems to be that it was originally a pure monotheism, the various members of the pantheon being merely personified attributes or aspects of the One, and that the duller feeling of the people converted these personifications into deities. Of all peoples of antiquity the Egyptians dwelt most on the future life, and made the most earnest efforts to represent to themselves the anatomy of the immortal part of man.
