To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The first is the belief in the triumph of light over darkness, and of life over death. This is exhibited by the sun-myths. The victory of light, conceived for the most part physi- cally, is represented in the conflict of Ka, the god of Heliopolis (An) and the chief god of Egypt, with the serpent Apap. The triumph of life over death is rather the subject of the myth of Osiris, the other chief god of the empire, specially worshipped in Thinis-Abydos, Osiris, slain by his brother Set lamented by h...is wife and sister Isis and ISTephthys endowed by Thut, the god of science and literature, with the power of the word is avenged by his son Horos, and, while himself reigning in the kingdom of the Dead, lives again in him on earth. This mythic representation of the death and reawakening of the life of nature which was observed in the succession of day and night and of the seasons, was very early, and more closely than the myth of Ba, brought into connec- tion with the doctrine of the resurrection.
