Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World Vol. II

The second volume continues Massey’s sweeping attempt to trace the continuity of Egyptian myth, ritual, and symbolism across later religious traditions. Readers will find further comparative analyses, extended etymological claims, and elaborate discussions of solar mythology, divine imagery, and ritual structures as interpreted through Massey’s distinctive framework.

Gerald Massey (1828–1907) was an English poet and self-taught scholar whose later work moved into comparative mythology, Egyptology, and religious origins. His writings argued for symbolic and mythic continuities across ancient religions, and he became a notable if controversial figure in Victorian esoteric and comparative-religious thought.
