Hermopolis is the name given by the Greeks to the city of ‘Thoth’ that lies in El Minia governorate, middle Egypt. It was named after ‘Hermes’, the Greek equivalent of ‘Thoth’, the lord of time, the guardian of thought and the ultimate communicator of all art and knowledge. New Hermopolis, on the other hand is a foundation realised in the deserts of Middle Egypt, close to its ancient counterpart in Tuna El-Gebel and to the Kingdom of Akhenaten as well as all the other major antiquities of this region. This revival conforms in its ethos and scope to the ‘Spirit of this Place’ and the tenets of the Hermetic Philosophy, with its belief in the’ Unity of Being’ that transcends race, creed, and the creative potential of all humans in the pursuit of our immortal destiny. It could therefore be regarded as a beacon of light, bringing hope, harmony, and healing to our troubled world. New Hermopolis is now planned to become an ‘International hermetic Academy’ to hold study retreats and Philosophical Symposia in addition to holding festivals and interactive creative activities to promote the arts and the social, economic, and cultural well-being of the local people through eco-tourism and the revival of heritage inspired creative industries. This ‘Hermetic Heritage’ though had its birth in Egypt clearly goes beyond its territorial specificity to include all the minds in the world that were inspired and influenced by it and whose creativity informed and developed this tradition and contributed to its continual regeneration and reproduction. Those intellectuals, their societies and fraternities need to be seen as carriers and transmitters of this heritage and major contributors to the ‘World Memory’ which calls for this city to be considered by UNESCO as a ‘World Heritage Site’.
