Egypt's Ancient Heritage

Much of what we know today began in Egypt! Out of that ancient
civilization, which lasted three thousand years, came the first concepts
of the origin of the universe, clothed in a symbology that showed a
marvelous insight into natural law. Truth, righteousness, justice, and
moral codes were first taught in the ancient mystery schools of Egypt as
was the belief in a mind cause, or thought, as the creative cosmic
force. 

The belief in the soul, of life after death, and of immortality was
held by the Egyptians thousands of years before Christ. The judgment of
the soul in the next life evolved from an Egyptian concept and was
dramatized by their rites and ceremonies.

This book tells of the amazing similarity of Egyptian thought to
modern religious, mystical, and philosophical doctrines, and how many of
our customs and beliefs of today were influenced by these ancient
people.
