Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject to be discussed in the present chapter is one of the most fascinating that can engage the attention of anthropologists. It is remarkable, however, that although so much has been written in relation to it, we are still almost in the dark as to the origin of the superstition in question. The student of mythology knows that certain ideas were associated by the peoples of antiquity with the serpent, and that it was the favourite symbol of particular deities; but why that animal rather than any other was chosen for the purpose is yet uncertain. The facts being well known, however, I shall dwell on them only so far as may be necessary to support the conclusions based upon them. We are indebted to Mr. Fergusson for bringing together a large array of facts, showing the extraordinary range which serpent-worship had among ancient nations. It is true that he supposes it not to have been adopted by any nation belonging to the Semitic or Aryan stock; the serpent-worship of India and Greece originating, as he believes, with older peoples. However this may be, the superstition was certainly not unknown to either Aryans or Semites. The brazen serpent of the Hebrew exodus was destroyed in the reign of Hezekiah, owing to the idolatry to which it gave rise. In the mythology of the Chaldeans, from whom the Assyrians seem to have sprung, the serpent occupied a most important position. Among the allied Phoenicians and Egyptians it was one of the most divine symbols. In Greece, Hercules was said "to have been the progenitor of the whole race of serpent-worshipping Scythians, through his intercourse with the serpent Echidna;" and when Minerva planted the sacred olive on the Acropolis of Athens, she placed it under the care of the serpent-deity Erechthonios.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VIII 'HE civilization of Burmah, and other Indo Chinese countries, is ascribed by legend and by the native historians to invaders from India. And these are connected with the Naga people of Magadha, and of the north and west of India. The ancient navigators, too, who carried the Brahmanical and Buddhist religions, the worship of the Naga, and the Sanscrit or Pali language to Java, Sumatra," and even to distant Celebes, were Indian people. And they were, doubtless, descendants of those Asura dwellers in the ocean, which are mentioned in the Mahabharata, and have been already referred to. From Tamralipti, now Tamluk, and from other ports on the Bay of Bengal, adventurers, both military and mercantile, found their way to Burmah and the countries beyond. That many, if not most, of these were of Naga race is shown by the traditions which refer to them, and by the sculptured remains which they have left behind. We learn from the Maharajaweng that, before the birth of Buddha, Abhi raja left Kapilavastu and settled in Burmah; that he was succeeded by his son Kan Rajagyi; and that the dynasty was overthrown by invaders from Tsin.1 The king fled to Mal6, where he died, and his queen then married Daza raja, who came from India, and who founded the city of Pagan.2 The names of the River Irawadi (Iravati), of the country of Kambodia (Kamboja), and of several ancient cities in Burmah and Siam, are of Indian origin. And Nakhonvat, the name given to the great serpent temple in Kambodia, is but a corruption of Nagavati. It is possible that the Buddhist missionaries, . sent to these countries by Asoka, owed much of their success to the good offices of their countrymen, already settled there. The islands of the Indo-Chinese Archipelago appear to...
