De Gébelin wrote this treatise before Jean-François Champollion had deciphered Egyptian hieroglyphs, or indeed before the Rosetta Stone had been discovered, and later Egyptologists found nothing in the Egyptian language to support de Gébelin's fanciful etymologies.

De Gébelin schreef deze verhandeling vóór Jean-François Champollion de Egyptische hiërogliefen had ontcijferd, en zelfs vóór de Steen van Rosetta was ontdekt. Latere Egyptologen zouden niets in de Egyptische taal vinden dat de Gébelins fantasierijke etymologie kon ondersteunen.
