• 1790, James Bruce, Travels to diÅ¿cover the Source of the Nile, in The Analytical Review, volume VII, page 10:My own conjecture is, that the apis was the emblem of the arable land of Egypt; the crocodile, the typhon, or cacodæmon, the type of an overabundant Nile; that the Å¿carabæus was the land which had been overflowed, and from which the water had Å¿oon retired, and has nothing to do with the reÅ¿urrection or immortality, neither of which at that tune were in contemplation.
