With Their Influence on the Opinions of Modern Christendom. "When Christians shall at length acknowledge that many of those doctrines, which together now make up orthodoxy, or the religion of the majority, as distinguished from the simple religion which Jesus taught and practised; when they shall acknowledge that many of them are so many sad and lamentable errors; then, and not till then, will they seek to know their origin, and enquire from which of the several branches of Paganism they sprung. They will then see that most of the so-called Christian doctrines, that have no place in the New Testament, reached Europe from Egypt, through Alexandria." Contents: Religion of Upper Egypt; Religion of Lower Egypt; Religion Under the Persian Conquerors; Religion Under the Ptolemies; Religion Under the Romans; Christianity Under the Roman Emperors; Christianity Under the Byzantine Emperors.

The huge alabaster coffin found in the tomb of Oimenepthah I (Seti I) was regarded as one of the most important artefacts found in Egypt prior to the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. This illustrated description of the sarcophagus was published in 1864, written by the Egyptologist Samuel Sharpe (1799-1881).

This 1838 book begins with a short survey of the history of Egypt up to the time of Alexander the Great. Sharpe then surveys the Ptolemaic era reign by reign, ending with the increasing influence of Rome, the battle of Actium and the conquest of Egypt by Augustus.

Sharpe's objective in this 1836 book is 'to collect out of the writings of the ancients every particular relating to the History of Egypt', marshalling ancient authorities including the Old Testament, Herodotus, and the Ptolemaic priest Manetho. He then uses this evidence to discuss Egyptian life, language, beliefs and customs.
