just an Excellent book

Any additional comments?

This is an ideal must-have book for anyone researching the belief, gods, and goddesses of ancient Egypt. It provides a unique and likely history of the creation and content of Egyptian religion and outlines the myths and fables through the various repetitions possible, and The Book of the Dead. It's a great sourcebook for the many religious cities and the different combinations of deities that controlled in each one. Just an excellent book.

just a starting point

Any additional comments?

There is a lot of useful erudition about Egyptian Mythology. The book left a lot of topics in my mind, ones that would search more deeply and clearly into their gods and mythology and flesh out the details. But, this book is a good source point for anyone who is engaged in their belief system.

Great collection

This is a fine book of tales that came from ancient Egypt. It includes the Gods, tales of magic, and tales of Adventures. I think this book is a good way to teach to kids how Egyptian Mythology saw life. It's much like the mythology books about other ancient cultures.

Easy to follow and understand

Any additional comments?

When I was a kid I would spend countless hours reading about Greek gods and their stories. So much to learn from them.
This Audiobook has helped me re-connect with this old passion of mine and refresh some of my knowledge.

amazing

Bought this book for me and my son and absolutely love it! Visted Egypt many many times as a kid and it was nice to revisit it all.

It’s a compilation of facts & myths, but not many stories

If you’re a factoid, you’ll love this book. As a person trying to get an idea of Egyptian gods, I found it lacking. It was dry & the author poured over long fact sheets of gods & Egypt’s past rulers. When finishing the book, I was as confused as ever about Egypt’s past.

i love this book

: this is a great book that I highly recommend, and even though she left out quite a few gods, I think the ones she left out aren't completely needed. Also, the added feelings and thoughts give more life to the story, making it more engaging for older listeners. I think that you'll love this book.

Both interesting and strange

The information given at first was very interesting. The list of gods got pretty dull as they were just listed off. When it got into prehistoric sky ships and camera drones from lost technology of Atlantis, well... I had a hard time not laughing at the absurdity of it.
