Summary: Marvelous Mythology
Comment: Ancient Egypt is my favorite thing to study---whether in or out of school! As an (expert, in a sense,) Egyptologist, the first time I saw this book I was ready to bury my nose in it and get to reading. This wonderful book covers everything about ancient Egyptian mythology---from the important temple rites and festivals to everyday religion. It includes some very well-known myths (like the rivalries of Horus and Seth) to those that are less recognized (such as myths of foreign gods who encounter Egyptian gods). I recommend this book to anyone even slightly interested in Egyptian mythology. You'll learn a lot (---even I did---), I promise! If I were an Egyptology teacher I'd give this book an A++++++++++++++++. . . .

Summary: Informative and Entertaining
Comment: I have never really ready anything dealing with ancient Egyptian culture, but I saw this book in the library and thought I would give it a chance. This book delves deeper into the Egypting culture and how they viewed religion and the afterlife. The most I've seen or read about ancient Egypt is the The Ten Commandments, with Charleton Heston, and that isn't as accurate as one would like to think. This book goes into timelines, different gods, child birth, death, mummification, etc. As a beginner of this subject, some of the terminology is difficult to understand. In whole, the book is filled with wonderful artwork and pictures and every chapter is interesting. If your a newbie to this subject like me then you'll most certainly learn something new.
