Description
The Exodus From Egypt And The Desert Of Amenta is a book written by Gerald Massey. The book deals with the ancient Egyptian religion and mythology, and how it influenced the story of the Exodus from Egypt in the Bible. Massey argues that the story of the Exodus is actually a retelling of the Egyptian myth of the god Osiris, who was killed and then resurrected. He also explores the symbolism of the desert, which he sees as representing the underworld or the afterlife. Massey's interpretation of the Exodus story is based on his extensive knowledge of Egyptian mythology and his belief that the Bible is largely a collection of myths and allegories that have been borrowed from other cultures. The book is considered a classic in the field of Egyptology and has been influential in shaping modern views of ancient Egyptian religion and mythology.THIS 68 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Ancient Egypt the Light of the World Part 2, by Gerald Massey.
