268 THE SHEPHERD KINGS OP EGYPT. 



successor, according to the Chinese historians, btit who really is the 

 same person, connects with Hea and Hu as the patron of drainage. 

 Temang may he a reminiscence of Temeni. Shun, who succeeded Yaou, 

 may be Achashtari He was a great lawgiver, like Sesostris; and the 

 attempts of his father and brother, whom he freely forgave, to destroy 

 him by fire, find their counterpart in the history of the Egyptian 

 monarch. Ming-teaou, where he died, is a reminiscence of Mendes, 

 Ming-ti, the monarch after whom it was named, being Manahath. 

 Fohi, the Chinese Buddha, is the same as Yaou, the head of the Hea 

 dynasty ; and Kolakealo his son is Jahaleleel.^^ Sir William Jones 

 identified the Chinese with the Kshetriyas of India; and the state- 

 ment of Sadik Isfahani, that Chin and Khita are one and the same, 

 agrees with this, the Khita being the Hittites or Shethites of Ach- 

 ashtari. ^^ In the Chin we may find the Kenites that came of Hemath. 

 America.^* — The Chinese Ming-ti is reproduced in the Algonquin 

 Manitou and in the Peruvian Manco, as I have elsewhere s]tated. 

 Shobal, the father of Manco or Manahath, is the Peruvian Supay, 

 answering to the Egyptian Seb or Sebek. As in the Arabian and 

 connected mythologies, he is the chief of the evil spirits, so that the 

 Horite line must have been inimical to that to which the ancient 

 population of Peru belonged. Accordingly we find the monarchs of 

 that country denominated Incas, a term which has been frequently 

 connected with the Palestinian Anakim and the Greek Anactes. 

 Among the Incas, as given by Montesinos, many Ashchurite names 

 appear, such as Huascar, Huacos, Huillaco, Topa, Huacapar, 

 Ayatarco and Marasco ; denoting Ashchur, Achuzam, Jehaleleel, 

 Ziph, Hepher, Achashtari and Mareshah. Among geographical 

 names, Cuzco, the chief region in the Peruvian annals, with Scyris 

 or Quito, commemorate Ashchur ; Titicaca and Totacacha, Tekoa ; 

 Pachacamac, a kind of Phacussa, Achuzam ; Huahualla, Jehaleleel ; 

 &c. The name Peru, originally designating a river, may not impro- 

 bably have come from him who was the eponym of the Hebrus, 

 Tiber, and many other streams. The great deity Pachacamac, or 

 Con, opposed to Supay, is Achuzam ; and, under the form Huaca, his 

 name became a synonym for divinity. It is also worthy of note that
