A Comparison of Egyptian Symbols With Those of the Hebrew (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162597485)

""A Comparison of Egyptian Symbols With Those of the Hebrew"" by Frederic Portal is a scholarly work that explores the similarities and differences between the symbols used in ancient Egyptian and Hebrew cultures. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part providing an overview of the symbols used in each culture and their meanings. The second part of the book compares and contrasts these symbols, highlighting the ways in which they overlap and diverge. Throughout the book, Portal draws on his extensive knowledge of ancient history and mythology to provide a rich and nuanced analysis of these symbols and their significance. This book is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of ancient Egypt and Hebrew culture, as well as for scholars and students of comparative mythology and religion.The origin of the science of symbols is lost in the distance of time, and seems to be connected with the cradle of humanity. The oldest religions were governed by it; the arts of design, architecture, statuary and painting were born under its influence, and primitive writing was one of its applications. This book compares the Egyptian symbols with those found in the works of Hebrews.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
