Poems
Egyptian hieroglyphics, used as a historical analogy for the encoded symbolic meaning in the display of figures at Bath.
THE old Aegyptians hid their wit In hierolyphic dress, To give men pains in search of it, And please themselves with guess.
Stromata
The specialized Egyptian symbolic writing system mastered by the sacred scribe.
He must know what are called the hieroglyphics, concerning cosmography and geography, the position of the sun and moon and the five planets, the description of Egypt and the drawing of the Nile, the appointing of the temples and the regions consecrated to them, and the measures and the things useful in the sacred rites.
