'This readable anthology is a good introduction to a civilization
that fascinates like few others ... in this book there are animals
who talk, princesses who are locked up at the top of towers, wicked
stepmothers and many other themes ... An enjoyable book by a
skilled author' Financial Times The civilization we know as Ancient
Egypt stretched over three thousand years. What was life like for
ancient Egyptians? What were their beliefs - and how different were
they from ours? Myths and Legends of Ancient Egypt uses Egypt's
vivid narratives to create a panorama of its history, from the
earliest settlers to the time of Cleopatra. Gathered from pyramid
texts, archaeological finds and contemporary documents, these
stories cover everything from why the Nile flooded annually to
Egyptian beliefs about childbirth and what happened after death.
They show us what life was really like for rich and poor, man and
woman, farmer and pharaoh. Myths and Legends of Ancient Egypt
brings a long-dead culture back to life.
