To the peoples of antiquity, Egypt appeared as the very essence of Knowledge. In the mysterious Nile country, they found a knowledge system much more highly developed than any within their native Knowledge, with which Egyptian religion was so strongly identified; thus, it appeared to the foreigner to savour Knowledge practices. Suppose the materials of the Pyramid Knowledge papyri be omitted. In that case, the accounts we possess of Egyptian Knowledge are almost wholly foreign, so that it is wiser to derive our data concerning it from the original native sources if we desire to arrive at a proper understanding of the Egyptian Pyramid and Temple Building.
