MONUMENTS, PYRAMIDS.DOC

===========================


Abhayagiri (Sk.). Lit., “Mount Fearless” in Ceylon. It has an ancient
Vihara or Monastery in which the well-known Chinese traveller Fa-hien
found 5,000 Buddhist priests and ascetics in the year 400 of our era,
and a School called Abhayagiri Vâsinah,, “School of the Secret Forest
“. This philosophical school was regarded as heretical, as the
ascetics studied the doctrines of both the “greater” and the “smaller”
vehicles— or the Mahâyâna and the Hinayâna systems and Triyâna orthe
three successive degrees of Yoga; just as a certain Brotherhood does
now beyond the Himalayas. This proves that the “disciples of Katyayana
were and are as unsectarian as their humble admirers the Theosophists
are now. (See “Sthavirah" School.) This was the most mystical of all
the schools, and renowned for the number of Arhats it produced. The
Brotherhood of Abhayagiri called themselves the disciples of
Kâtyâyana, the favourite Chela of Gautama, the Buddha. Tradition says
that owing to bigoted intolerance and persecution, they left Ceylon
and passed beyond the Himalayas, where they have remained ever since.

KARNAK (Eg.). The ruins of the ancient temples, and palaces which
now stand on the emplacement of ancient Thebes. The most magnificent
representatives of the art and skill of the earliest Egyptians. A few
lines quoted from Champollion, Denon and an English traveller, show
most eloquently what these ruins are. Of Karnak Champollion writes :—
“The ground covered by the mass of remaining buildings is square; and
each side measures 1,800 feet. One is astounded and overcome by the
grandeur of the sublime remnants, the prodigality and magnificence of
workmanship to be seen everywhere. No people of ancient or modern
times has conceived the art of architecture upon a scale so sublime,
so grandiose as it existed among the ancient Egyptians; and the
imagination, which in Europe soars far above our porticos, arrests
itself and falls powerless at the foot of the hundred and forty
columns of the hypostyle of Karnak! In one of its halls, the Cathedral
of Notre Dame might stand and not touch the ceiling, but be considered
as a small ornament in the centre of the hall.”
Another writer exclaims: “Courts, halls, gateways, pillars, obelisks,
monolithic figures, sculptures, long rows of sphinxes, are found in
such profusion at Karnak, that the sight is too much for modern
comprehension.” Says Denon, the French traveller: “It is hardly
possible to believe, after seeing it, in the reality of the existence
of so many buildings collected together on a single point, in their
dimensions, in the resolute perseverance which their construction
required, and in the incalculable expenses of so much magnificence! It
is necessary that the reader should fancy what is before him to be a
dream, as he who views the objects themselves occasionally yields to
the doubt whether he be perfectly awake. . . . There are lakes and
mountains within the periphery of the sanctuary. These two edifices
are selected as examples from a list next to inexhaustible. The whole
valley and delta of the Nile, from the cataracts to the sea, was
covered with temples, palaces, tombs, pyramids, obelisks, and pillars.
The execution of the sculptures is beyond praise. The mechanical
perfection with which artists wrought in granite, serpentine, breccia,
and basalt, is wonderful, according to all the experts animals and
plants look as good as natural, and artificial objects are beautifully
sculptured; battles by sea and land, and scenes of domestic life are
to be found in all their bas-reliefs.” T Glossary pp. 174-5

Archaeologists have found what they believe to be the site of the 
Library of Alexandria, often described as the world's first major 
seat of learning.
