Serpent in the Sky. The High Wisdom of Ancient Egypt.
Wheaton IL: Quest Books, 1993. First Quest edition. Softcover. Small quarto. 266pp, b&w illustrations, bibliography and index. The author follows on from the work of R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, in this reinterpretation of ancient Egyptian civilization and spiritual and esoteric beliefs. From the publisher: "West's revolutionary reinterpretation of the civilization of Egypt challenges all that has been accepted as dogma concerning Ancient Egypt. In this pioneering study West documents that: Hieroglyphs carry hermetic messages that convey the subtler realities of the Sacred Science of the Pharaohs. Egyptian science, medicine, mathematics, and astronomy were more sophisticated than most modern Egyptologists acknowledge. Egyptian knowledge of the universe was a legacy from a highly sophisticated civilization that flourished thousands of years ago. The great Sphinx represents geological proof that such a civilization existed. This revised edition includes a new introduction linking Egyptian spiritual science with the perennial wisdom tradition and an appendix updating West's work in redating the Sphinx." The faintest of shelf rubbing, otherwise a tight & clean near Fine copy. Item #66536
