Egyptian Gods: Exploring the Powers and Legends Surrounding the Egyptian Gods (An Encyclopaedia to the Gods, Goddesses, Kings and Queens, Kingdoms, Dynasties, Science and Technology in Ancient Egypt)
The book's chapters are thoughtfully organized, allowing readers to navigate through different aspects of the pantheon. It covers creation myths, the Ennead and Ogdoad groups of deities, solar and lunar gods, fertility goddesses, and much more. Additionally, the handbook doesn't just focus on the deities themselves, but also explores the religious practices, rituals, and ceremonies associated with each figure.The authors have gone to great lengths to ensure accuracy, drawing from a wide range of ancient texts, hieroglyphs, inscriptions, and archaeological discoveries. The inclusion of vivid illustrations, photographs, and depictions of ancient art further enriches the reading experience, bringing the gods and goddesses to life in the reader's imagination.
This book will provide you with a comprehensive overview of Egypt’s long history, including:
  • The beginning of Egyptian civilization
  • A brief look into ancient Egyptian monuments
  • Stories about the pharaohs and their exploits
  • An extraordinary look into Egypt’s magnificent golden age
  • Alexander’s conquest of Egypt
  • The scandalous lives of the Ptolemy’s
  • A brief exploration of Egypt’s medieval period
Today, Egyptian imagery, concepts, and perspectives are found everywhere; you will find them in architectural forms, on money, and in our day to day lives. Many cosmetic surgeons, for example, use the silhouette of Queen Nefertiti (whose name means “the beautiful one has come”) in their advertisements.
