Anacalypsis, Part 1: An Attempt to Draw Aside the Veil of the Saitic Isis or an Inquiry into the Origin of Languages, Nations and Religions [Paperback]

Godfrey Higgins (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 25, 2002

Volume one of a two volume set. (This description is for all volumes.) Godfrey Higgins was convinced that a high civilization had flourished prior to all historical records. He believed that there had existed then a most ancient and universal religion from which all later creeds and doctrines sprang. His research lasted over 20 years. "He attempted to establish the existence of a prehistoric universal religion and to trace its development into contemporary times. He believed this religion possessed accurate knowledge of universal and cosmic phenomena and held neither priesthood nor institution as intermediary in man's communion with the Divine." This highly sought after book is extremely rare. Two volumes.

This review is from: Anacalypsis, Part 1: An Attempt to Draw Aside the Veil of the Saitic Isis or an Inquiry into the Origin of Languages, Nations and Religions (Paperback)

This book is very beneficial in regards to tracing the origin of certain words as well as uncovering the truth that Greeks,Romans, and Europeans have tried so hard to bury. Not to often is it that things are seen in the African perspective, especially from Europeans. This book will open your eyes and begin to unravel the mystery that has been long lost since times passed. Read with an open mind and learn with a passionate heart.
