Dynasty and lived circa 2800 B.C. Thoth is the same as Tet. Tet was son of Menes (Narmer of Petrie and Breasted) who flourished Circa 3350 B.C. This Thoth was later regarded as essentially the God of learning; he was the master of the words of God i.e. the heiroglyphs; he was the scribe and messanger of the Gods; he was the measurer of time and the Mathematician. Hesepti or Hesep is mentioned in several copies of the Book as the author of the two of its most important chapters. Thoth or Tet and Hesepti or Hesep, the plebians, certainly do belong to the First Dynasty and lived also during the times of Menes. The first peaceful colonisers of Egypt under the leadership of Menes, as elsewhere shown, came from Bhārata. Hence it may safely be alluded that the Bhāratiyan immigrants brought the truths contained in the Book with them in the middle of the fourth millenium. B.C.2 The most ancient original chapters of the Book contained the fundamental conceptions of the continuance of Soul after death. The thought of the future life occupied a very large space in the Egyptian thought. It was felt so real and so substantial that no subsequent thought about future life could match it. This process of birth and re-birth re-iterated until a mystic cycle of years became complete, when finally the good and the blessed attained the crowning joy of union with God. God, a later interpolation, in this context, is a pure spirit, perfect in every respect-all-wise, almighty, supremely good. God is not abstract and 'he doth not manifest his forms'. He was neither the 'God' of the Christians nor the Personal Brahma' of the Brahmäryans. He was the purest spirit of the individual, good and blessed, attained due to continuous spiritual efforts after the numerous mystic cycle of years. Then he became "Single among the Gods' and 'Lord of the Gods', 'God' meaningless purer spirit than the purest but higher than the average individual. The earliest Egyptians attempted to attain this true and full perfection of his being. The purest Soul was the self-existent deity. Thus we find that the final aim of the Egyptian was the attainment of full, perfect, purest and everlasting personality till the later part of third millenium B.C. The full and final purest attainment was achieved by the self-propelled individual effort. What were the guiding principles of this individual effort? The ideal life of an ancient Egyptian is best given in 125th Chapter of the Book. This chapter 'Hall of Truth' is very significant. Temples. Priests and Gods were a later growth. The individual at his death appears before Osiris in the Hall of Truth'. The earliest monumental evidence of Osiris (Asura) occurs along with that of Thoth as alluded to earlier. Osiris also came to Egypt with the earliest immigrants under the leadership of Menes. Animals were sacred to Osiris. The original reading of the word Osiris is 'Us-yri'' in the sense of the 'Occupier of the Highest Seat'. The word "Us-yri' very intimately resembles the word 'Asura' of Bharata. The word 'Asura' signified a pre-Aryan Bhāratiya institution. The Irānāryans borrowed this epithet for their leaders Agni, Indra, Varuņa and others in the beginning but after the separation, the Brahmāryans later abondoned its use for the illustrious, powerful, shining and great leaders of their Dāsa and Dasyu adversaries. The Brahmāryans were accustomed to the arbitrary kind of word-analysis. They created the word 'Sura' in an unjustified manner by isolating the initial 'a' from 'Asura'. They, then, applied the word 'Sura' for their Ganapatis and word "Asura' for the Rājās of their adversaries. The Asuras were self-sacrificing people. The legend of Osiris is centred round the self-sacrifice of Osiris himself and his regeneration. Osiris was regarded as the highest spiritual personage in Egypt and Pharaoh was his sub
