THE SHEPHERD KINGS OF EGYPT. 191 



'treated of by tlie Rev. W. B. Galloway, must refer to the same 

 distinguislied person.*" 



We have seen that the next individual in the family of Jehaleleel 

 is a female named Ziphah. I do not think that she is the second 

 Suphis or Sensaophis or Kneph Chufu. She is no doubt Nephthys 

 (a word like Naptha already connected with Ziph in its form Zepheth), 

 who is called the wife of Typhon and mother of Anubis. She was, 

 in fact, the sister of Typhon and the mother of Anubis, who is Kneph, 

 hence the title Kneph Chufu ; but her husband was Coz, the son of 

 Ammon, whose son Anub or Ganub furnishes the names Anubis, 

 Kneph, Caaobus,''^ &o. If the Kufa descended from Ziph, it can 

 hardly be that he died childless ; nevertheless he appears to have been 

 succeeded by his sister's son. The consideration of the family of Coz, 

 however, must be left for the present. 



Two younger brothers of Ziph remain. These are Tiria and 

 Asareel. Tix*ia may be Tyreis of Maiietho's third dynasty, and 

 Asareel the Mesochris who follows him, both of these being mentioned 

 out of their true order. Yet on this point I am far from insisting. 

 Certain it is that the former left his name to part of the mountain 

 range connected altogether with the family of Ashchur, in its 

 appellation of Troicus; the Troja of Egypt, with its kindred names of 

 lUahoun and Assareel or Assavacus, with Ziph or Capys, giving us the 

 originals of those which at a latc^r period arose in the geography and 

 traditions of Asia Minor.*" ISTot that I believe the siege of Troy 

 took place in Asia INIinor, but, as I trust soon to be able to prove, in 

 Palestine, aiid upon the eastern shore of the Dead Sea. This may 

 appear startling and improbable, but so is the wliole truth concerning 

 the early history of Egypt and the world. *^ It is not to be denied 

 that the Trojans assisted the Hittites in their wars with Rameses II." 

 To return, however, to the geography of Egypt, we find the limestone 

 hills of Tourrah and Masarah, or of Tiria and Asareel, furnishing 

 appropriately the materials for the erection of their brother Ziph's 



40 Egypt's Record, 545. 



*l Canopus and the Dioscuri are associated (Guigniaut). Anubis holds a prominent place in 

 the Egyptian mysteriss. 



*2 In Jehaleleel I find Ilus, the eponym of Ilium ; Ziph, Tiria and Asareel are Capys, Tros 

 and Assaraeus. The Troja of Egypt was as mncli older than that of Asia Minor as the Thebea 

 of the same country exceeds in antiquity the similarly named city of Boeotia. 



<* As I differ from other investigators in regard to the locality of Troy, so a;n I compelled to 

 differ in the date I assign to tlie Trojan war, whicli'Ithiiik must have talcen place during the 

 wandering of Israel in the desert.
