Dawn of conscience

It is no exaggeration to say that the best book published in this era on the discovery of civilizations and Egyptology is *The Dawn of Conscience*, written by Professor Breasted in 1934. Breasted argues that Egypt is the origin and cradle of world civilization. Indeed, it was in Egypt that humans first felt the call of conscience, and thus the human conscience was nurtured and developed, and morality was formed. The book addresses the development of this topic from the earliest human eras until the flame of civilization was extinguished in Egypt around 525 BC. In his view, according to the historical documents that have reached us from the ancient world to this day, Egypt is the cradle of world civilization. It was from this civilization that the Hebrews took theirs, and Europeans transferred their civilization from the Hebrews. Thus, with this immortal book, Professor Breasted demolished the deeply entrenched theories in the minds of many that European civilization was derived from the Hebrews.
