First sentence: THE Greek historian Herodotus affirms that the Egyptians were "beyond measure scrupulous in all matters apper-"taining to religion," and he made this statement after personal observation of the care which they displayed in the performance of religious ceremonies, the aim and object of which was to do honour to the gods, and of the obedience which they showed to the behests of the priests who transmitted to them commands which they declared to be, and which were accepted as, authentic revelations of the will of the gods.
