Publisher's Synopsis
""Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man"" is a book written by Albert Churchward, a British author and Masonic historian. The book explores the origins and meanings of various symbols and signs used by ancient civilizations, particularly those of Africa and Egypt. Churchward argues that these symbols were not just decorative, but held significant spiritual and philosophical meanings that were passed down through generations. He also delves into the connections between these symbols and the development of language, writing, and mathematics. The book is divided into chapters on different types of symbols, such as animal symbols, geometric symbols, and symbols of the sun and stars. It includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the complex meanings behind these ancient symbols. Overall, ""Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man"" is a fascinating exploration of the rich cultural and spiritual history of ancient civilizations.The Evolution of Religious Doctrines From the Eschatology of the Ancient Egyptians. �������In writing the explanation of the Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man, I have gone back to the foundation of the human as a beginning, and traced these signs from the first Pygmies, and their then meaning, up to the latter-day Christians, and shown the evolution and meaning of the same, back to the Primordial Signs and Symbols and Sign Language, which have never been studied or taken into account either in Freemasonry, the Christian doctrines or the Eschatology of the Egyptians.������� Partial Contents: Freemasonry Generally, Totemism; Hieroglyphics; Remains of Ritual found amongst the Zapotecs, Mexicans, People of Yucatan and Central America; Myths and Legends same as Egyptian; Tribes of West Africa; Birthplace of Man and various Exodes; The Pygmies; Druids and Israelites; Chaldeans; Origin of the Zodiac; Oriental Origins; The Incas; The Buddhists; Steller to Solar Mythos; Origins and Explanations of Other Principal Signs and Symbols used amongst Freemasons; Origin of the Triangle, Circle, Cross; Great Pyramid, and Pyramids of Mexico and the Sphinx.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
