"Brahm then at the head of the Indian triad is Menu at the head
of his three sons. But that by the first Menu we are to
understand Adam, is evident, both from the remarkable
circumstance of himself and his consort bearing the titles of
Adima and Iva, and from the no less remarkable tradition that one
of his three sons was murdered by his brother at a sacrifice.
Hence it will follow, that Brahm at the head of the Indian triad
is Adam at the head of his three sons, Cain, Abel, and Seth.
Each Menu with his triple offspring is only the reappearance of a
former Menu with his triple offspring; for, in every such
manifestation at the commencement of each Mamwantara, the Hindoo
Trimurti, or triad, becomes incarnate, by transmigrating from the
human bodies occupied during a former incarnation; Brahm or the
Unity appearing as the paternal Menu of a new age, while the
triad, Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva, is exhibited in the person of
his three sons. . . . But the ark-preserved Menu--Satyavrata
and his three sons are certainly Noah and his three sons, Shem,
Ham, and Japhet."

Hesiod teaches that, after the flood, Chaos, Night, and black
Erebus first appeared.[45] At this time, when there was no Earth,
no Heaven, and no Air, an egg floated on the face of the deep,
which, being parted, brought forth Love, or Cupid. Out of Chaos
this God created or formed all things. Now Cupid is the same as
the Greek Phanes, and Phanes is Noah, the egg being the ark or
female principle from which he was produced. The Greek God
Phanes is the same as the Egyptian Osiris, who was driven into
the ark by the "wind that blasts," or by the evil principle.
