The Origin of Brahmanism. 



285 



From the 4th. That Osiris is Misraim. 



j, 5th. That Misraim was present at one time in India, 

 and his memory has been dearly cherished by the 

 Brahmins. 

 „ 6th & 7th. That Osiris is Misraim. 



8th. That the name of Misraim was held in high 

 veneration in India ; and that he was there wor- 

 shipped as Br amah. 

 „ 9th. That Osiris (Misraim) is Bramah. 

 „ 10th. That the relations of Misraim were canonised in 

 Egypt. 



„ 11th. The same, and also in India. 



12th. That Osiris was a human being exalted to the 

 rank of a deity in the same manner as I suppose 

 Misraim to have been. Osiris is alluded to by 

 historians as a monarch, while his name is most 

 prominent among the Egyptian gods, as will pre- 

 sently appear. 



13th. That Osiris, Misraim, and Bramah are the same. 

 „ 14th. That Ham, father of Misraim was reverenced in 

 the East wherever Brahminism or Buddhism took 



root. 



15th & 16th. Chronological and traditional evidence that the 

 memory of Misraim and his relations, was pre- 

 served by the Brahmins ; and countenances the 

 belief, of his having been deified under the name 

 of Bramah. 



„ 1 7th. That Bramah (Osiris or Misraim) once dwelt in 

 Egypt. 



„ 18th. That Bramah, Osiris, and Misraim are synonymous. 

 „ 19th. Countenances the thesis that Osiris and Misraim 

 are the same. 



„ 20th. That Bramah, Osiris and Misraim are the same. 



The Egyptian account of the invasion of India by Osiris states 

 he was accompanied by Apollo* and Pan, and that he left the care 

 of Egypt to Hermes. From what has preceded I think there are 



* The Indian Apollo is Rama Chrishna.
