Egypt does not
need an introduction. It is the introduction to human civilization itself, and
has all the evidence to show for it.
"Now, let me talk more of Egypt for it has a lot of admirable
things and what one sees there is superior to any other country."
- Herodotus, 500 BCE
"...In Egypt all the operations of the powers which rule and
work in heaven have been transferred to earth below...It should rather
be said that the whole cosmos dwells in [Egypt] as in its
sanctuary..."
"There will come a time when ... the gods will return from earth
to heaven; Egypt will be forsaken, and the land which was once the
home of religion will be left desolate, bereft of the presence of its
deities."
- Ascleptus III (25 BCE), Hermetic Texts
