Anacalypse: An Attempt to Lift the Veil of Isis of Sais, or An Investigation into the Origins of Languages (set of 2 books)

Godfrey Higgins (1772–1833), an English historian of religion, archaeologist, and anthropologist-interpret, belongs to a current of European thought that aspired to a certain universalism; in this context, he sought to find the common origins and points of intersection of world... religions.
 
«Anacalypse» — the last and most extensive two-volume work of Higgins. Some of the researcher's ideas influenced the subsequent development of religious studies. However, several of his arguments regarding the derivation of the Bible and Christianity from ancient Indian beliefs appear controversial and are not supported by further scientific research. Alongside this, the «Anacalypse» as a main component of Higgins's legacy offers the contemporary reader, who is discovering this unique author, the opportunity to delve into the study of the greatest mystery of the origins of God, religions, and humanity.
