ALHIRETH-HOTEP THE PROPHET

 When Yug was Yug no more men said unto Alhireth-Hotep: "Be thou our prophet¹, and be as wise as Yug."

 

And Alhireth-Hotep said: "I am as wise as Yug." And men were very glad.

 

And Alhireth-Hotep said of Life and Death: "These be the affairs² of Alhireth-Hotep." And men brought gifts to him.

 

One day Alhireth-Hotep wrote in a book: "Alhireth-Hotep knoweth

All Things, for he hath spoken with Mung."

 

And Mung stepped from behind him, making the sign of Mung, saying: "Knowest thou All Things, then, Alhireth-Hotep?" And Alhireth-Hotep became among the Things that Were.
