With his earlier two series in Egyptology; Gerald Massey turned existing doctrine on its head to argue that not only had Egypt spawned human civilization; but that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. The culmination of his years at this particular intellectual pursuit; Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World is Massey's crown jewel. In this; the most philosophical (in both tone and concept) of his Egyptological works; Massey; ever the intrepid escort; leads a tour through thousands of years of sociological; cultural; and spiritual development; all the while pointing; with dazzling reason and persuasive prose; to a distant; common; Egyptian origin. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry; spiritualism; Shakespearean criticism; and theology; but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology; including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.

(015)By Troy TempestAs someone new to collecting German militaria; this book was a fantastic help to me. Even though it is a small format book; it has hundreds of photos; and chapters on uniforms; camoflage protective clothing; equipment; insignia; awards decorations and finally campaign shields cuff titles. The book is very easy and enjoyable to read; and the reader comes out definitely the wiser. The best thing is it is one in a large series; and I found that I was keen to pursue Mr Lee's other titles with equal enthusiasm. For all the re-enactors and militaria collectors out there; this is a fine addition to your library.A top read!
