To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The interpretation a _Nine_, an _Ennead_, was not frankly adopted until later, and more especially after the discovery of the Pyramid texts; to-day, it is the only meaning admitted. Of course the Egyptian Ennead has no other connection than that of name with the Enneads of the Neo-Platonists. When creation was completed, its continued existence was ensured bycountless agencies with whose operation the persons of the Ennead werenot at leisure to concern themselves, but had ordained auxiliariesto... preside over each of the functions essential to the regular andcontinued working of all things. The theologians of Heliopolis selectedeighteen from among the innumerable divinities of the feudal cults ofEgypt, and of these they formed two secondary Enneads, who were regardedas the offspring of the Ennead of the creation. The first of the twosecondary Enneads, generally known as the Minor Ennead, recognizedas chief Harsiesis, the son of Osiris. Harsiesis was originally anearth-god who had avenged the assassination of his father and thebanishment of his mother by Sit; that is, he had restored fulness to theNile and fertility to the Delta.
