Many of the most carefully bound

preservation of not only complete
birds, bat of eggs, bones, and even
odd feathers is good evidence for
supposing that the worship of Thoth
and the veneration for the bird, which
was sacred to him, still had a strong
hold upon the minds and imagination
of the people of Egypt, even as late
as the Roman period.

conventional way followed by the
German crown prince and his broth
