Abstract
IN this volume, the seventh of the series that Col. Waddell has devoted to the exposition of his views on the origin and relations of the great civilisations of antiquity, the author aims at demonstrating the historical character of Menes as an Aryan, a descendant of the first Sumerian or Aryan king who founded civilisation. He maintains that Menes was at one and the same time the Sumerian emperor in Mesopotamia and the first dynastic king of Egypt, a crown-colony of his world-empire.
