LEGENDS OF THE GODS: Part-2
THE LEGEND OF THE DESTRUCTION OF MANKIND Ra THE text containing the Legend of the Destruction of Mankind is written in hieroglyphs, and is found on the four walls of a small chamber which is entered from the "hall of columns" in the tomb of Seti I., which is situated on the west bank of the Nile at Thebes. On the wall facing the door of this chamber is painted in red the figure of the large "Cow of Heaven." The lower part of her belly is decorated with a series of thirteen stars, and immediately beneath it are the two Boats of Ra, called Semketet and Mantchet, or Sektet and Matet. Each of her four legs is held in position by two gods, and the god Shu, with outstretched uplifted arms, supports her body. The Cow was published by Champollion, without the text. This most important mythological text was first published and translated by Professor E. Naville in 1874. It was republished by Bergmann and Brugsch, who gave a transcription of the text, with a German translation. Other German versions by Lauth, Brugsch, 10 and Wiedemann have appeared, and a part of the text was translated into French by Lefébure. The latest edition of the text was published by Lefébure, and text of a second copy, very much mutilated, was published by Professor Naville, with a French translation in 1885. The text printed in this volume is that of M. Lefébure. The legend takes us back to the time when the gods of Egypt went about in the country, and mingled with men and were thoroughly acquainted with their desires and needs. The king who reigned over Egypt was Ra, the Sun-god, who was not, however, the first of the Dynasty of Gods who ruled the land. His predecessor on the throne was Hephaistos, who, according to Manetho, reigned 9000 years, whilst Ra reigned only 992 years; Panodorus makes his reign to have lasted less than 100 years.

Mysteries, Math, and Metaphysics
Do you know what 'Ekstasis' means? Neither did I until I met Philolaus, disciple and successor of Pythagoras. I am called Simmias of Thebes, but my name is not Simmias and I am not from Thebes; I am from Metapontum, the small paradise on the Ionian Sea, just a short distance from Taranto and Brindisi to the east at the end of the Via Appia, and a little farther from Croton to the south near the end of the Via Latina, part way to the island kingdom of Sicily.
