The Myths of Ancient Egypt are tied intimately to the presence and
natural rhythms of the Nile. With their inventive mythology, the
Egyptians explained the effects of famine, harvest, floods and death by
creating a pantheon of gods that still holds our fascination today. This
new book of classic tales brings the stories of the ancients to life,
from the birth of creation by Ra, the sun god, to the murder of Osiris,
and the revenge of Horus. We gain glimpses of the underworld and the
afterlife, as the rulers of Egypt claimed lineage from the Gods both
worshipped and fashioned by the people of Egypt, at a time when
humankind had begun to shape the world around it.
