Excerpt from The New Biblical Guide, Vol. 5
As Northern snows dissolve before advancing Summer, so are critical theories passing away before widening research. In presenting his report recently to the Egypt Exploration Fund, Prof. Flinders Petrie said that "the criticism of myths had told them that Mena, the founder of the Egyptian monarchy, was but a form of Mana, the law-giver of India, and of Minos, the hero of Crete; and to hope for tangible monuments of his time, was but seeing castles in cloudland. Now, the long line of a dozen kings back to Mena was clear before them; they had seen and handled the gold, the crystal, the ivory with his name and engravings; and even the kings who went before him were better known to them by actual objects than were half the Saxon kings of England."
Modern discovery continues, on the other hand, its confirmations of the Scripture. Nowhere did Bible-defence seem so hopeless to many as in its early chronology. It was agreed, on almost every hand, that to limit the existence of man upon the earth to some six or seven thousand years was a patent absurdity.
