The first clues to these discoveries were gained by my observation that Menes (as he was called by the Greeks) or Manj (as he is usually called in his own Egyptian inscriptions) 1 appears in his due chronological position along with his dynasty in the official king-lists of the Early Aryans from the first king onwards, as preserved in the ancient Indian epic chronicles, the Puranas. In the latter he bears the name of Asa Manja, or " Manja the shooter " in the solar version of these lists, and Manasyu or Mawas-the-Uniter in the lunar version. 2 And the great Indian epic, the Maha-Bhaxata, in supplementing the Purana chronicle account, describes him as " Manasyu of the line of the Prabhu [Parda or ' Pharaoh '], the royal eye of Gopta [Kopt or Egypt] and of the four ends of the earth." 3 The Indian epic king-lists further record that he was the son and successor of the mighty world-emperor, King Kuni or Sha-Kuni or Sagara, whom I had fully identified with the Mesopotamian world- emperor, whose name is variously spelt Kin, Gin, Gani, Guni, or Shar-Guni, a name which is arbitrarily semitized by Assyriologists into " Sargon," in order to equate it with the Hebrew name " Sargon " of the much later notorious Semitic Assyrian king of that name in the eighth century B.C. who carried the Jews into exile, and from whom they dis- tinguish the former as " Sargon-the-Great." On comparing these Early Aryan king-lists with those of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia,* I observed that the latter documents also recorded in the self-same chronological position the dynasty of King Gin or Guni (" Sargon-the- Great "), bearing substantially the same names and titles as in the Indian lists and in exactly the same order ; and that the names and order from " Sargon's " son Manis onwards were identical with those of Menes' dynasty of Pharaohs on 1 See later. 2 See pp. ^i. 3 See p. 4 and App. I. 4 Kish Chronicle. MENES AS SON OF SARGON-THE-GREAT 3 their own Egyptian monuments. Menes or Manj in his Egyptian inscriptions usually bears the title of " Manj- the-Warrior," and in the Sumerian king-lists and in his own inscriptions in Mesopotamia, the son and successor of " Sargon-the-Great " is styled " Manis-the-Warrior." And the last king of this dynasty, bearing the same name in both Sumerian and Egyptian inscriptions, has his name signifi- cantly written on his own Egyptian inscription by the self-same Sumerian pictographic signs as in the Sumerian king-lists and in his own inscriptions as Sumerian emperor in Mesopotamia. Further comparison disclosed that Menes' father, " Sargon- the-Great," along with the latter's father and grandfather were identical in names and titles with the three Predynastic Pharaohs who immediately preceded Menes in Egypt ; and who have left there their records, seals or sealings in Sumerian script. And these identities are confirmed by their own Sumerian inscriptions in Egypt, and by their official seals in their Indus Valley colony, in which most of them bore also the title of " Pharaoh," and mention Egypt by name as being within their empire. Let us now examine the detailed proofs for these identities of Menes or Manj and his " predynastic " ancestors in Egypt with those of Manis and his immediate imperial Sumerian ancestors in their contemporary inscriptions in Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley and in the Indian epic records of the Early Aryan kings. Menes or Manis-Tusu as Manasyu the " Pharaoh of Gopta " (Egypt) in the Indian Epics The name of this Aryan king under the form of Manasyu is found in the lunar version of the Indo-Aryan King-Lists, and corresponds to the solar form of his name as Asa Manj as or Asa Manj a in the solar main-line lists in which he is No. 38 (see Table, p. 151) — the solar lists 1 being the most complete and in undisturbed chronological order. And " Sargon " in this Puru version is called Pra-Vira or " Foremost hero,".. https://ramanisblog.in/2017/03/12/menes-first-pharoah-son-of-sagara-solar-dynasty-india/
