""Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man"" by Albert Churchward is a comprehensive study of the symbols and signs used by ancient civilizations around the world. The book explores the origins and meanings of these symbols, tracing them back to their earliest known use and examining their evolution over time. Churchward draws on a wide range of sources, including archaeological discoveries, historical texts, and comparative mythology, to shed light on the significance of these symbols in the cultures that produced them. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the symbolism of animals, plants, and celestial bodies, as well as the use of geometric shapes and patterns. It also delves into the spiritual and religious beliefs that underlie these symbols, exploring the ways in which they were used to communicate with the divine. ""Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man"" is a fascinating and illuminating work that offers a unique perspective on the ancient world and the enduring power of its symbols and signs.The Evolution of Religious Doctrines From the Eschatology of the Ancient Egyptians. �������In writing the explanation of the Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man, I have gone back to the foundation of the human as a beginning, and traced these signs from the first Pygmies, and their then meaning, up to the latter-day Christians, and shown the evolution and meaning of the same, back to the Primordial Signs and Symbols and Sign Language, which have never been studied or taken into account either in Freemasonry, the Christian doctrines or the Eschatology of the Egyptians.������� Partial Contents: Freemasonry Generally, Totemism; Hieroglyphics; Remains of Ritual found amongst the Zapotecs, Mexicans, People of Yucatan and Central America; Myths and Legends same as Egyptian; Tribes of West Africa; Birthplace of Man and various Exodes; The Pygmies; Druids and Israelites; Chaldeans; Origin of the Zodiac; Oriental Origins; The Incas; The Buddhists; Steller to Solar Mythos; Origins and Explanations of Other Principal Signs and Symbols used amongst Freemasons; Origin of the Triangle, Circle, Cross; Great Pyramid, and Pyramids of Mexico and the Sphinx.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
