Memphis Theology - ca. 1292 - 1075 BCE
"The above conception of the world forms quite a
sufficient basis for suggesting that the later notions of nous and
logos, hitherto supposed to have been introduced into Egypt from abroad at a
much later date, were present at this early period. Thus the Greek tradition of
the origin of their philosophy in Egypt undoubtedly contains more of the truth
than has in recent years been conceded. (...) The habit, later so prevalent
among the Greeks, of interpreting philosophically the functions and relations of
the Egyptian gods (...) has already begun in Egypt before the earliest Greek
philosophers were born ; and it is not impossible that the Greek practice of the
interpretations of their own gods received its first impulse from
Egypt."
