Enter a world where gods and goddesses bring about the most mysterious of worlds, where a lasting kingdom is formed and a legendary empire follows; where myths are told that echo throughout centuries and beyond: The treasure that is Egyptian mythology is an undeniable pleasure to read. Explore another world of ancient times, never to be forgotten.
The motifs of the famous Egyptian tales are similar to that of many other mythologies: Magic is a handy way to explain the extraordinary; the heroes are larger-than-life, as they are quite literally the gods that bring about the nature of the universe; harrowing journeys are undertaken; the underworld is as real as this world, and the afterlife must be carefully prepared for; battles are fought and empires are forged. The Egyptians were one of the most successful empires in history, and their legacy survives because their traditions and texts were preserved in the most elaborate tombs created by civilization. We can see the Egyptian evolution from warring tribes, to a unified kingdom, to a triumphant and long-lasting empire through the thread of their treasure trove of myths and tales.
This book can take you through that journey, beginning with an overview of the Egyptian peoples and cultures, and into an understanding of their pantheon of gods and goddesses, to beautiful and haunting tales of creation and ritual, and into a glimpse into who these peoples actually were via the stories they held dear. Some specific elements you will encounter:
Some of the main gods of the Egyptian pantheon, with all their quirks and foibles
The beauty of the devotion of Isis to the tragic god Osiris and their son Horus
The lasting devotion to animal heroes--from Anubis the Jackal to Bastet the Cat
One of the most complex and fascinating stories of Creation--Maat and Time
The everlasting brilliance of the ultimate Sun God, Ra
The making of the pharaohs--from kings to divine beings
Mystical ritual and unending cycle of life--from Osiris to the Book of the Dead
The devotion to death and the devourers of light
The unfailing devotion in all daily life to the preservation of balance and harmony

Egyptian mythology is diverse and fascinating, offering us an insight into how ancient people believed and lived, what they valued and vilified, and how they existed and thrived. Finally, if you have enjoyed these treasured tales of Egyptian mythology, don't forget to explore the other fantastic realms of mythological magic in this series of books: Treasures of Egyptian Mythology, Treasures of Norse Mythology, Treasures of Roman Mythology, and Treasures of Greek Mythology.
