Uncovering Egyptian Mythology: A Beginner's Guide Into The World of Egyptian Gods, Goddesses, Historic Mortals and Ancient Monsters. (Ancient History Books)

Uncovering Egyptian Mythology is a well-written page-turner that’s highly imaginative and entertaining. Its captivating stories and vivid descriptions make the perfect beach or bedtime read. This book isn’t just about the pyramids, mummies, and ancient curses; it’s about gods, goddesses, monsters and creatures, sophisticated rituals, and engineering ingenuity. I appreciated that cats were treated like divine beings; I loved the stories about the creation myths, and that time was closely tied to nature. I like that the book “led us through a rich and vast world, encompassing unimaginable amounts of time, as well as marvelous amounts of space.”

This is all the good, incredible, reverberating moments of Egyptian history and myth that you would have highlighted and remembered from a few years of seriously studying the subject.Who is it for?Writers!!!If you’re writing an Indiana Jones fan fiction set in Egypt? Then the chapters on Egyptian myth might crack your whip.For comic book writers there’s the 12 successive Gates to the underworld and the demons that defend them.Want to start tomorrow on a romance novel set the 1920s, the time of discovery of King Tut’s tomb? This book will you everything you need to know. If the book slips into horror the chapter on monsters or one on demons will open your casket.Etc.

This was very informative. I love finding new information about the different entities beyond the Gods and Goddesses. Different creatures that all had a purpose. Everything seemed to fit in the cycle of Life and Death. Thank you.

There's a ton of information in here and the book is well-written and thorough. It reads more like a reference book than anything else - not that there's anything wrong with that, but I'd say this is more for people who want to bone up on their knowledge rather than those of us who are looking for a mixture of entertainment along with their facts.

A great little book. I have always watched anything on ancient Egypt. Its a good start for someone that has interest in our history
