The author is described as Keeper of the Egyptian and Assyrian antiquities of the British Museum.
The text says that the eminent French Egyptologist, E. de Rougé, connected the name of God, neter, with the other word neter, renewal or renovation. The text says there seems to be no doubt that, since it is impossible to find any one word which will render neter adequately and satisfactorily, self-existence and possessing the power to renew life indefinitely may together be taken as the equivalent of neter in our own tongue. Rā was supposed to sail over heaven in two boats, and at his rising he was attacked by Āpep, a mighty dragon or serpent, the type of evil and darkness.
