Acerca de esta escucha

From stories of resurrected mummies and thousand-year-old curses to powerful pharaohs and the coveted treasures of the Great Pyramids, ancient Egypt has had an unfaltering grip on the modern imagination. Now, in Egyptian Mythology, Geraldine Pinch offers a comprehensive introduction that untangles the mystery of Egyptian myth.

Spanning Ancient Egyptian culture - from 3200 BC to AD 400 - Pinch opens a door to this hidden world and casts light on its often misunderstood belief system. She discusses the nature of myths and the history of Egypt, from the predynastic to the postpharaonic period. She explains how Egyptian culture developed around the flooding of the Nile, or the "inundation", a phenomenon on which the whole welfare of the country depended, and how aspects of the inundation were personified as deities. She explains that the usually cloudless skies made for a preoccupation with the stars and planets. Indeed, much early Egyptian mythology may have developed to explain the movement of these celestial bodies. She provides a timeline covering the seven stages in the mythical history of Egypt and outlining the major events of each stage, such as the reign of the sun God. A substantial A to Z section covers the principal themes and concepts of Egyptian mythology as well as the most important deities, demons, and other characters. For anyone who wants to know about Anubis, the terrifying canine god who presided over the mummification of bodies and guarded burials, or Hathor, the golden goddess who helped women to give birth and the dead to be reborn, or an explanation of the nun, the primeval ocean from which all life came, Egyptian Mythology is the place to look.

The accent of the narrator is awful

I believe the content of this book would have been much more interesting and engaging if not for the accent of the narrator. The word “sorry” is not pronounced “sorey”. The word “tomorrow” is not pronounced” tomorerow”. This was extremely annoying and led to me not finishing the book.

Very detailed.

A scholarly, very detailed view of Egyptian Mythology. Best suited to a reader with a working knowledge of ancient Egypt.

more like history of ancient Egypt

over all the book was interesting. though it would be more accurate to title it a history of ancient Egypt. the biggest annoyance that I had with the book was the deliberate change of title from pharaoh to king. yes I know Pharoah translates to King but to me it washes the history by calling a Pharoah king. after all we don't say emperor Julius even though Ceasar is Latin for emperor.

Wealth of Information

A great introduction to the many Egyptian gods & their purpose. Thoth the God of wisdom has the answers to life on this planet.

Probably better in print

The reader barely paused. The end is basically a glossary so it’s very hard to follow.

History, Not Mythology

Very dry history with no real mythological depth. Sounds like a robot is reading it and some names of gods and temples are mispronounced. Go listen to Bob Briar's great courses series for a far more engaging and comprehensive lecture.
