Friedrich Majer (25 October 1760, Arbergen – 6 March 1842, Göttingen) was a German historian. Quotes It will no longer remain to be doubted that the priests of Egypt and the sages of Greece have drawn directly from the original well of India. ... Towards the Orient, to the banks of the Ganges and the Indus, it is there that our hearts feel drawn by some hidden urge - it is there that all the dark presentiments point which lie in the depths of our hearts... In the Orient, the heavens poured forth into the earth. Friedrich Majer (1771-1818) quoted in Ram Swarup (2000). On Hinduism: Reviews and reflections. Ch. 4. It will no longer remain to be doubted that the priests of Egypt and the sages of Greece have drawn directly from the original well of India; that only Brahmanism can provide those fragments of their teaching which have come down to us with the clarity which they do not possess.
