Exploring Egyptian Mythology

Take a look inside

The ancient Egyptians had a large, rich collection of myths that developed over the course of more than four thousand years. This book examines the colorful gods and goddesses, the primary creation myths, and several mythical monsters and the human heroes who slew them. Also included is the mystical tale the Egyptians saw as their most important: the Myth of Kingship, which established that all people, regardless of wealth and status, could find salvation in the afterlife.
