The writings of the Kemetian philosopher Tehuti, whom the Greeks later coined and worshipped Hermes, from my understanding...

I just got into this today, and I've got a couple of editions on my book list and I'm not sure which one to invest in... Any recommendations on what version/translation of these books are the best, and closest to resembling what was actually written in the original Egyptian texts. I know the oldest texts available are in Greek, and as such many Western Historians have desperately claimed this as a work of Hellenism and example of early 'western' thought, but considering the books quite clearly centred around Egyptian thought and the preeminence of the Kemetian, I assume the Eurocentrics could be ignored and that this would be a worthwhile set of books to investigate to gain an understanding of early Kemetic philosophy...

Your thoughts and advice would be appreciated...

Narmer Menes,
I'm not an authority on translations of the books of Tehuti; but I have one that I can highly recommend you get . Being a person that is open to spiritual writings this book reached deep down & truly spoke to me on many levels !! It is The Hermetica: The Lost Wisdom Of The Pharaohs by Timothy Freke & Peter Gandy try metaphysical books stores or Amazon.

Another book that I really liked altho I think it is out of print is "Ancient Future" by Wayne B. Chandler, again try Amazon, good luck ! [Wink]
