"Atlantis : the antediluvian world"

The Phoenician legends show that Misor, from
whom, the Egyptians were descended, was the child of the Phoenician gods
Amynus and Magus. Misor gave birth to Taaut, the god of letters, the
inventor of the alphabet, and Taaut became Thoth, the god of history of
the Egyptians. Sanchoniathon tells us that "Chronos (king of Atlantis)
visited the South, and gave all Egypt to the god Taaut, that it might be
his kingdom." "Misor" is probably the king "Mestor" named by Plato.
3. According to the Bible, the Egyptians were descendants of Ham, who
was one of the three sons of Noah who escaped from the Deluge, to wit,
the destruction of Atlantis.
4. The great similarity between the Egyptian civilization and that of
the American nations.
5. The fact that the Egyptians claimed to be red men.
6. The religion of Egypt was pre-eminently sun-worship, and Ra was the
sun-god of Egypt, Rama, the sun of the Hindoos, Rana, a god of the
Toltecs, Raymi, the great festival of the sun of the Peruvians, and
Rayam, a god of Yemen.
7. The presence of pyramids in Egypt and America.
8. The Egyptians were the only people of antiquity who were
well-informed as to the history of Atlantis.
