Note 475 — Chapter VIII · THE SWORD IN ANCIENT EGYPT AND IN MODERN AFRICA.
Reading edition
Amun Ra (Hephæstus, Vulcan), the veiled Osiris, the ‘Hidden One of Thebes,’ is thus addressed in a papyrus:—
He is One only, alone sans equal, Dwelling above in the Holy of Holies.
Another describes him as ‘Maker of all things; whose beginning was the beginning of the world; whose forms are various and manifold; the first to exist; the one only Being, and the Parent of all who live.’
