On the wall of the temple at Luxor are a series of sculptures,

"in which the miraculous annunciation, conception, birth, and adoration
of Amunoph III., the son of the Virgin Queen Mautmes, is represented in

that he was the son of the celestial virgin, which she carries in her
arms; the Horus, Lux, of the Egyptians, the Lux of St. John.

"It is from this infant that Jesus took his origin; or at least it is
from the ceremonies and worship of this infant that this religion came
to be corrupted into what we have of it. This infant is the seed of the
woman who, according to Genesis, was to bruise the head of the serpent,
which, in return, was to bruise his foot or heel, or the foot or heel
