McLennan. In his essays on Plant and Animal Worship, he regarded Egyptian animal-worship as only a consecrated and elaborate survival of totemism.
Mr. Le Page Renouf has ridiculed the ** school-boy authorities on which Mr. M'Lennan relied ".^ Never- theless, Mr. M*Lennan's views are akin to those to which M. Maspero and MM. Perrot and Chipiez are attached, and they have also the support of Professor Sayce.
** These animal forms, in which a later myi^h saw the shapes assumed by the affrighted go...ds during the great war between Horus and Typhon, take us back to a remote prehistoric age, when the religious creed of Egypt was still totemism. They are survivals from a long-forgotten past, and prove that Egyptian civilisa- tion was of slow and independent growth, the latest stage only of which is revealed to us by the monu- ments. Apis of Memphis, Mnevis of Heliopolis, and Pachis of Hermonthis are all links that bind together the Egypt of the Pharaohs and the Egypt of the stone age. These were the sacred animals of the clans which first settled in these localities, and their identification with the deities of the official religion must have been a slow process, never fully carried out, in fact, in the minds of the lower classes." ^ Thus it appears that, after all, even on philological showing, the religions and myths of a civilised people may be illustrated by the religions and myths of 1 Hibbert Lectures, pp.
