Murder. Resurrection. Eternal judgment. The gods of ancient Egypt lived lives as dramatic as any mortal and their stories shaped a civilisation for three thousand years.
Walk the banks of the sacred Nile, where Osiris taught humanity to farm and Isis worked magic powerful enough to raise the dead. Descend into the Duat, where Ra battles the chaos serpent each night and Anubis guides souls toward their final weighing. These are the myths that adorned tomb walls and temple columns, whispered by priests and remembered by farmers who watched the same sun rise over the same river, believing their prayers helped it return.
Within these pages, discover:
- The full saga of Osiris-his murder, dismemberment, and resurrection through the devotion of Isis
- Ra's secret name and how the great enchantress tricked it from him
- Sekhmet's bloody rampage and the seven thousand jars of beer that saved humanity
- The Weighing of the Heart ceremony and Ammit, the Devourer of Souls
- Horus and Set's eighty-year war for the throne of Egypt
From the protective cat goddess Bastet to crocodile-headed Sobek lurking in river depths, from Thoth's gift of writing to the Bennu bird rising from flames-every major deity and sacred tale finds its place here.
Perfect for: mythology enthusiasts, history lovers, students of ancient religions, and anyone captivated by the culture that built the pyramids.
The scales await. The gods are watching.
