significance of Nag Hammadi, Egypt

Nag Hammadi (also referred to by its earlier Greek name, Chenoboskion) is the town in Upper Egypt where in 1945 a major cache of Gnostic documents is found. The discovery provides the scholarly world a major source for studying the philosophy/religion that is central to Horselover Fat's world view. Fat's psychiatrist, Dr. Leon Stone, declares that is the authority on Nag Hammadi on the basis of writings in his journal, the Exegesis. When he discharges Fat from the hospital, Stone gives him a draft translation of a major Gnostic creation text, On the Origin of the World. Fat believes that the Logos goes dormant for nearly 2,000 years at Nag Hammadi but is now released to carry out its mission of saving the world.
