This is an illustrated guide to the mythology, religion and
culture. It is a scholarly yet accessible celebration of ancient
Egypt for every reader: pyramids, magic, rituals, mummies,
pharaohs, dreams and oracles. It examines the role myths and
religion in the development of one of the most studied periods of
history. It describes the elaborate preparations for the afterlife,
including burial rituals, symbolic funerary offerings and
ceremonies for the dead. It features over 370 photographs, maps,
diagrams and facsimiles bring ancient Egypt's rich past to life.
Egypt's cultural heritage is vast, and the story of this ancient
civilization has captured our imagination. This fully illustrated
book provides a treasure chest of found objects, archaeological
sites, hieroglyphic inscriptions and beautiful tomb art from
ancient Egypt. It introduces the gods and goddesses of Egypt,
describes their characters and identifying features, the myths
surrounding them, and their role in the creation of society.
Quotations from books, hymns, prayers and hieroglyphic paintings
give an authentic picture of culture and society, and maps,
chronologies and artworks supplement the photographs in this
masterly history.
