Egyptian Mythology: A Concise Guide to the Ancient Gods and Beliefs of Egyptian Mythology, By Hourly History
Kindle Edition (53 Pages)

This is an excellent guide to Ancient Egyptian mythology designed to provide readers with the knowledge necessary for a a foundational understanding of the key elements of the Egyptian religious cosmology, beliefs, practices, rituals, and mythological stories. It includes information regarding the Egyptian creation myth; the role of religion in an Egyptians daily life, including practices and rituals in temples, at home, and in public; beliefs about the afterlife and the underworld; the Parthenon of gods, including the most important gods and goddesses; burial practices, including, the purpose of mummification, tombs, pyramids and temples; and much more. The author has provided a useful "Historical Timeline" which allows the reader to follow the complexities of Egyptian history and locate the mythology within the development of the country.

The ancient Egyptians, as is true with any society made up of inquiring humans, perceived the world as a confusing and often terrifying place of destruction, death and unexplained phenomena. In order to make sense of such an existence, they resorted to teleological stories woven into a supporting mythological religious system. Giving a phenomenon a story made it less horrifying, and it also helped them make sense of the world around them. Unsurprisingly, then, the ancient Egyptian gods permeated every aspect of existence. Their mythology reinforced and sustained the Egyptian systems of government, economics, agriculture, literature, art and all other critical aspects of the Egyptian Civilization.

This book was professionally researched from numerous primary and secondary sources, written, and published by Hourly History. This publishing house has produced an extensive collection of thoroughly researched, concise, informative, and well written historical texts designed to be read in one to two hours. This collection is focused on chronicling the lives of historically important persons, events, nations, and peoples. I have read many of their offerings and found each volume well written, researched, informative and presented with an unbiased perspective.

This book provides a fact filled, straight forward account that is enjoyable to read and easily understood. It was well researched and carefully crafted to ensure that the the social, economic, political, and cultural l issues related to their religious system were described based on documented facts. It is written in a remarkably clear and understandable manner. The narrative is engaging and enjoyable. Readers who enjoy the study of Ancient civilization 's mythology and culture, or those who are interested in knowing more about Ancient Egypt will enjoy this book.
