Mayans and the Egyptians OF the
Pharaohs. For instance. the serpent
and sun were held by both people as
symbols OF royalty and objects OF wor-
ship. The Mayan alphabet bears a
striking resemblance to the Egyptian
hieroglyphics. The Magyar royal
tombs are almost exact duplicates OF
the most ancient Egyptian tombs.
Egyptian monarchs built great statues
OF the SPHINX TO perpetuate their
fame. The SPHINX is one OF the orna-
ments most frequently carved on the
buildings OF Yucatan.
The evidence gathered by lie Plon-
geon indicates that at sometime or
other in prehistoric periods there was
close communication between people
OF Egypt and the people OF Yucatan.
IL the culture OF the land OF the
Pharaohs was not carried from the
land OF the Mayans. they both prob
ably received their civilization from
another source still more remote. His
tory reaches back only to the earliest
ages OF Egypt. yet far back OF Egypt
men attained some degree OF culture,
and the tablets found in the ruins OF
Yucatan apparently indicate that that
territory was the cradle OF the worlds
civilization.
