What reading level is Serpent-Worship, And Other Essays, With a Chapter On Totemism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


may not be the correct one for the use of human sacrifices, but the seventy times seven times in which Lamekh was avenged may well refer to the abundance of the victims offered on the altar of the Phcenician deity.
Thepriority of the Phallic superstitionover"Arkism," or rather the existence of that superstition before the formation of the Deluge legend, is proved, moreover, by its agreement with the myth of Osiris and Isis.
This agreement forms the central idea of the explana- tion of pagan ido
...latry given by Faber, and yet it con- clusively proves that the Noachian Deluge was simply a mytli, having, like that of Osiris, a Phallic basis.
Bunseii says " the myth of Osiris and Typhon, hereto- fore considered as primeval, can now be authoritatively proved to be of modem date in Egypt — that is to say, about the thirteenth or fourteenth century B.C." ^ But it is this version of the Osirian myth which is said to be founded on the Noachian catastrophe, Typhon or The Evil Being, the persecutor of Osiris, being the Waters of the Deluge.
