286 The Origin of Brahmanism. [No. 12, new series. 



reasons sufficient for believing, that by Osiris is meant Misraim, 

 by Apollo Ramah, and by Hermes Phut ; that the Egyptian god 

 Sevek or Seb is really Seba the nephew of Misraim, and that in 

 India these personages have been venerated as Br amah, Ramah, 

 and Siva, and Pan as Hanumunta ; in other words that the actual 

 personages of the Hindu trinity, Bramah, Rama, and Siva, are 

 Misraim, Rama, and Seba of Genesis. 



That Egyptism and Brahminism are but different designations of 

 one religion, the latter deriving from the former, I think is un- 

 questionably proved by what subjoins : 



1. In both countries the deities are identical, vide annexed 

 list. 



2. The Pagodas and other places of religious worship in India 

 correspond in architectural plan and details with those in Egypt, 

 The most striking examples of resemblance, I might say identity, 

 are these : 



In Egypt. 

 The pyramidal tower or 

 propylon surmounting gateway 

 of pagodah atEdfou,— and pyra- 

 mids. 



Single pylon in inner court of 

 Karnac. 



Obelisks flanking entrance of 

 the pagodah at Luxor. 



Great choultries at Dendera, 

 Gau-el-Kebir, and Edfou. 



Open choultry at Philae on 

 mound near river. 



Mammeisi at Elephantine. 



Rock cut temples of Siout and 

 Ghebel Abul-Fada. 



Colossal statues 

 and Abousimbel. 



at Thebes 



In India. 



The pyramid over the en- 

 trance of the Tanjore and other 

 pagodahs ; and double propylons 

 which I think I have seen some- 

 where in the South of India sur- 

 mounting gateways of pagodahs. 



Single pylon over entrances 

 of smaller pagodahs in India. 



Obelisks flanking gateway of 

 the pagodah at Madura. 



Trimmel Naig's choultry at 

 Madura, and others. 



Open choultry of Neerali, 

 Madura, on bank of river. 



Porches of lesser Pagodahs. 



Rock cut temple in back of 

 the rock at the seven Pagodahs, 

 and elsewhere. 



Colossal statues at Bamean 

 North of Cabul.
