VERY INFORMATIVE
AVID READER
(4,5 Sterne)
A very concise overview of ancient Egypt Ian religion by one of the first experts in the field. Of special interest is the idea of the evolution of the various gods. Also, no one ever made it plain to me that the "Book of the Dead" was only an expression, not an actual book.
a little bit out dated but good
