About this book
Zelia Nuttall's The Fundamental Principles of Old and New World Civilizations has the subtitle A Comparative Research Based on a Study of the Ancient Mexican Religious, Sociological, and Calendrical Systems. It is listed as Volume II of a set of archaeological and ethnological papers.
One passage on Egypt quotes inscriptions about the birth of a child in the temple, naming Amenhotep III at Luqsor, Hor-em-heb and a small temple of Isis at Denderah. Another passage on Mexico and Yucatan describes carved feathered serpents and the quetzal feathers whose colours match the four quarters, and notes how the Nahuatl words for feather and for sky sound alike. Another passage turns to the Assyrian king Esarhaddon, who placed his two sons on the thrones of Babylonia and Assyria, and quotes Professor Jastrow.
