pears neither to havebeen the mast an,

to have had its seat in Lowor Egypt.
In the upper part of the country the
worship of Ammon prevailed, while
that of Phetia, oc Hephestus, alone ex-
tended over the whose country. The
sacred beetle, or Scarabaeus, was the
symbol of Phetia, and the generating
power of the world. These beetles—
cut in stone, frequently in green colour-
ed basalt, or verd antique—have been
found in great numbers in Egypt, par-
ticularly
ar-
ticuiarlv in the tombs. in bile tombs
of Thebes, Belzoni found some with hu-
man heads. There is hardly any sym-
bolical figurer which recurs so . often in
Egyptian sculpture and painting as the
beetle, and, perhaps, scarcely any one
which is so difficult to explain. Seine
suppose it to have been an emblem of
fertilty, and that the sun is indicated
by this beetle., in all probability, their
religion was foreign in its origin, per-
haps fromEthiopia.; but it eventually
de en tratecl into a monstrous and repul-
sive system of symbols in Which no-
thing pleasing will e\ er be discovered.
The partiality for the monstrous in the
character of the Egyptians, cotnpared
with the grandeur of the Iloly • Scrip-
tures, is very strikir fiy exhibited in the
hi'toiy of the :clefe•nt of Sanhel•ib.

men, for period of 18,000 years, and
after that began the reign of hi.ainan
kings. who governed for 5,000 years,
which brings us _down to 58 B.C.. Of
the absurdity of this belief little need
be -said beyond the remark that it is
quite clear from the introductory chap-
ters of Diodorus, that the Fgyptian-
deities -were nothing more than the
powers of nature invested with forms
and individual atttlil;iutes.
In the palaces of the kings as well as
in tlae`tempk.s, we find chambers fcr the
priests, and apartments adapted to reli-
gious service; for the Egyptian kings
were bound to practise a. strict and dai-
ly observance_of religions duties, who
with the priests, were alone permitted
to enter into the inner sanctuary or ap
proach the still More sacred adytum,
which contained the r;presentation of
the deity. The a.blutions of the priests
being frequent; we find in Nubia the
sacred b...ilclings placed near. the • river,
but in Egypt, the temples being at a
considerable distance from the river.
tanks were necessary, and the r,races of
these artifical basins are so numerous,
as to leave no doulit`that every temple
not situated on the Nile, must have
been provided with one of those reser-
voirs of waiter so essential bosh for the
purposes of cleanline's and- the ceremo-
nies of the Egyptian rPligic,n--foie dai-
ly ablutions being required for. the
priests alone. The priests also shaved
their heads, eyebrows, and beard very
closely every third day, with a view to
cleanliness, and to keep the body clear
of insects which so abounded in Egypt.
They occasionally at their fn► e ••.al cere-
monies wore masks fashioned like :tile
head of a jackal. .
The priesthood of Egypt held in their
own hands the intelligence of the coun-
try, and eventually usurped the .kingly
power; and the world 'does not, (rrceent

give dignity to the human mind and per-

rnade m progress which jet all rivalry at
defiance; in the motions and alorations
of the invisible p'.wers who preside
over the destinies of men, they
manifested the imbecility and the igno-
rance of childhood. -_ The bull was one
of the most sacred animals of Egypt,and,
with the cow,was one of thei forms un

were venerated.
