Another in-depth study resource regarding God’s plan in the stars.
Jewish, Persian, and Arabian ancient writers preserve the tradition, that “the family of Seth,” Adam, Seth, and Enoch, “invented astronomy,” the Egyptians attributing it to Seth or Thoth, said to be the same as Hermes Trismegistus, the thrice-great.
Plutarch mentions Seth, “to whom the third day of the five of the epact was dedicated,” as worshipped in Egypt. He was said to be the third son of Set and Netpthe, the father and mother of the gods, whose names are given by Bunsen as Seb and Nutpe.
Bunsen says that Thoth or Hermes was called the scribe of truth, the twice-great; and that they held Set to be the name of the god of Asiatic people. In the “Book of the Dead,” it is said, “Tet, which is Set,” thus confirming the identification of Seth and Thoth.
