A new system, or an analysis of ancient mythology

His design was certainly very ingenious and carried out with a wonderful display of learning. He failed, however, and I will be obliged to address the nature of his failure. It appears to me, as far as my reading can provide insight, that most ancient names—not only of places, but of people—share a clear consistency original: "analogy". There is likewise a great correspondence to be observed in scientific terms and in the titles that were formerly bestowed upon magistrates and rulers. The same observation may be extended even to plants, minerals, and animals, especially to those that were considered at all sacred. Their names seem to be composed of the same or similar elements and bear a clear relationship to the religion used among the Amonians the author’s term for the descendants of Ham, whom he identifies as the primary spreaders of ancient civilization and to the Deity whom they adored. This Deity was the Sun, and most ancient names will be found to be a collection of titles bestowed upon that celestial body original: "luminary". Consequently, a clear connection appears between them—a circumstance that is completely foreign to the system of Bochart. His etymologies lack this supporting evidence and do not have the slightest consistency to support them.

In consequence of this, I have ventured to provide a list of some Amonian terms which occur in the mythology of Greece and in the histories of other nations. Most ancient names seem to have been composed out of these elements, and they may be broken back down into these same principles through a simple and fair analysis original: "evolution". I have added a short interpretation to these while also providing different examples of names and titles which are formed in this way. From this, the reader will see plainly my method of analysis and the basis of my etymological inquiries.
