Comparison of Egyptian Symbols With Those of the Hebrew (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780766149656)

""A Comparison of Egyptian Symbols With Those of the Hebrew"" by Frederic Portal is a comprehensive study of the similarities and differences between the symbols used in ancient Egypt and those used in Hebrew culture. The book delves into the meanings and interpretations of various symbols, such as the ankh, the scarab, and the serpent, and how they were used in both cultures. The author also explores the possible influences that one culture may have had on the other, as well as the ways in which these symbols have been interpreted and used throughout history. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and symbolism of ancient cultures, as well as those interested in comparative religion and mythology.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.
