Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hebrew Characters Derived From Hieroglyphics: The Original Pictures Applied to the Interpretation of Various Words and Passages in the Sacred Writings, and Especially of the History of the Creation and Fall of Man It has long been my opinion that considerable light might be thrown upon the early history of mankind, as contained in the eleven first chapters of Genesis, by the study of hieroglyphic or picture-writing. In all probability this was the only mode of recording events and communicating ideas until after the separation of the descendants of Noah, and the consequent foundation of many distinct nations. Each family or tribe would carry with them the picture history of mankind from the creation until the dispersion; and these records would be carefully preserved by them as sacred writings, and were probably the origin of all their mythological systems. And if this were the case, there must have been a period when the scripture history as preserved by the descendants of Seth, and through Noah transmitted to Abraham and his posterity became Phonetic; and could we possibly obtain a copy of this ancient record it would undoubtedly throw much light upon many obscure parts of the early history of mankind. Of these nations, some under favourable circumstances of climate and situation would make much greater progress in literature, arts, and sciences than others. Some would probably remain for a long period with little more knowledge than they derived from their original founders.
