Jacobus Perizonius - Aegyptiarum Originum et Temporum Antiquissimorum Investigatio (1711) This is an original 1711 Latin scholarly work on ancient Egyptian origins, chronology, and historical traditions, published in Leiden, Netherlands. It's 315 years old: An Investigation into the Origins of the Egyptians and the Most Ancient Times PublisherJohannes van der Linden the Younger PlaceLeiden (Lugdunum Batavorum) Date1711 — MDCCXI LanguageLatin BindingOld leather spine with marbled-paper boards The title page explicitly names several historians whose theories Perizonius intended to challenge. This book was an argument about how ancient history should be reconstructed from conflicting sources. Perizonius was a respected Dutch classical scholar associated with the University of Leiden. He lived during a period when European scholars were trying to reconstruct the earliest civilizations using biblical chronology, Greek and Roman historians, and surviving ancient traditions. His book examines questions such as: - How old was Egyptian civilization? - Which Egyptian dynasties actually existed, and when? - How reliable were the Greek accounts of Egyptian history? - Could Egyptian chronology be reconciled with biblical history? - Who built the pyramids, and in which historical period? One of the photographis is CHAPTER XXI — THE PYRAMIDS The chapter begins: "Pyramides quando & a quibus exstructae fuerint, incertum ex profanis scriptoribus." Translation: "When and by whom the pyramids were constructed is uncertain from the accounts of secular writers." Perizonius then examines the contradictory claims of ancient authors, including Josephus and Manetho. He even discusses the ancient tradition that the Israelites were responsible for constructing pyramids. Perizonius was therefore attempting to reconstruct Egyptian history without the ability to read the Egyptian inscriptions themselves. In the Renaissance, Egypt was frequently imagined as the birthplace of primordial wisdom. The writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus were believed by many to preserve extraordinarily ancient theological and philosophical knowledge. By Perizonius's time, that picture was changing. Isaac Casaubon had already demonstrated in 1614 that the Greek Hermetic writings were much later than Renaissance thinkers had supposed. Perizonius belonged to the broader intellectual movement that increasingly subjected ancient traditions to critical historical examination.

Samuel Christian Hollmann - Überzeugender Vortrag von Gott und der Schrift (1748). Its author was a philosopher and natural scientist who investigated religion, physics, anatomy, electricity and natural history. My copy is nearly 280 years old. TranslationApproximately A Convincing Exposition of God and Scripture PublisherJohann Friedrich Gleditsch PlaceLeipzig, Germany Year1748 FormatOctavo, approximately 517 pages plus register BindingFull brown calf, five raised spine bands, gilt decoration IllustrationEngraved frontispiece depicting Adam in Eden. Hollmann was working during the German Enlightenment, when scholars were attempting to reconcile Christian theology with rational philosophy, observation and emerging scientific methods. My photographed page 121 is from a section titled Daß ein Gott sey: “That God Exists.” It uses anatomical observations about blood circulation, the heart, arteries and lungs to support an argument about divine design. In other words, Hollmann is using the complexity and organization of the human body as evidence of an intelligent creator. This is a form of natural theology, attempting to establish religious truths through reason and observations of nature.

Anyone know of an actual compromise from the pho thing?

"The smoking gun appears. Two requests from 91.90.123.25 with User-Agent php2shell-verify/1.0 at 17:55 Oct 21 — an active, targeted probe for this exact vulnerability, both returning 200 against / and /index.php. Also PHP arg-injection attempts (auto_prepend_file=php://input) from multiple scanners. Critically, your memory_limit=-1 is already set — that's the primary mitigation for CVE-2026-109618, so exploitation likely failed. But I need to confirm PHP didn't crash and what the error log shows around that probe."
