The highest expression of Metaphysical Speculation, according to Eliade

Eliade was a prolific writer on Egyptian cosmogony.

In Egyptian cosmogony, the theogony and cosmogony were effected by the creative power of the word and thought of a single god. Ptah was the highest god in the Heavenly order. 

The Egyptians understood that creation was dependent upon consciousness and linguistic ability. 

As one might recall, language and reality belong within the same medium. Hence why they are the same or one in essence. 

I wish to highlight the nature of this speculation. I find it telling that the ancients had a system of belief that lent credence to similar views of the modern era or information age. With geniuses like Langan being one of the sole authorities on Metaphysics, we now have a blend of mathematics and mythological ideas.
