Summary of “A New System; or, an Analysis of Antient Mythology. Volume 2 (of 6)”

2,139 characters · 4 min read

This work undertakes a profound dismantling of classical mythology, arguing that the vast majority of legendary figures, monsters, and divine heroes were never real individuals, but rather corruptions of ancient titles, temples, and geographical locations belonging to the dispersed Amonian family. The author investigates how the descendants of Ham, particularly the Cuthites, Canaanites, and Mizraim, migrated across the ancient world, establishing the foundational elements of civilization, architecture, navigation, and religious ritual. A central problem addressed is the pervasive Greek tendency to translate foreign linguistic roots into homophones familiar to their own ears, thus turning architectural structures, priests, and ritual implements into legendary fauna and physical combatants. The argument systematically deconstructs the universal prevalence of ophiolatry, showing how the worship of the serpent symbol—rooted in the ancient terms for light, wisdom, and the sun—permeated the rites of diverse cultures.

Major figures such as Perseus, Osiris, and Hercules are evaluated not as men, but as divine titles or migrating colonies whose historical exploits were co-opted and nationalized by Hellenic chroniclers. The text examines the sinister realities behind oracular towers, Prutaneia, and sacred high altars known as tapha, revealing how judicial inquisition and human sacrifice frequently hid behind the guise of religious devotion. Through extensive etymological tracing of terms like Tor, Taph, El, and Cahen, the narrative reconstructs a cohesive picture of early human migration, religious syncretism, and the transmission of primitive sciences. The argument develops by demonstrating that myths of dragons, golden fleeces, and multi-headed giants arose directly from architectural emblems, light-house beacons, and the defensive strategies of early maritime pioneers. Ultimately, the work challenges foundational chronologies of antiquity, urging a radical revision of how modern scholarship interprets classical texts, ancient linguistics, and the religious evolution of the ancient near east and Mediterranean.
