“To this gift Baron Bunsen, in his tedious volumes of Ægyptological romance, laid an unqualified claim.”

“Some readers will perhaps regard the resolution of “Hercules” and “Cacus” into allegorical representations of the conflicting agencies of Light and Darkness (p. 31), and the blending into one of Æneas and Latinus, as well as of one or two other mythical personages, as a leaf out of what Sir George Lewis would have called the “Ægyptological method of writing History”;”

“[Hermann Volrath] Hilprecht (Recent Researches in Bible Lands, p. 9 [wherein is Egyptological]): “What then are our principal gains from Ægyptological research? In the foremost rank, we have the splendid vindication of the accuracy of the writer of the account of Israel’s sojourn in Lower Egypt. What is said in Genesis and Exodus of the character of the country, its government and its court, and the customs of the people, are shown to be pictures faithfully drawn from the life” (cf. Herzog, i. 709).”
