Firefly Books Ltd

Immerse yourself in the dark and complex mythology of Ancient Egypt.\n Alongside the mummies and the great treasure-filled burial chambers of the Pyramids are the many gods, heroes, monsters and legends that defined their universe. Atum, the first being -- who then begat Nut, the sky goddess and Geb, the god of the land -- and their union in turn producing Osiris, Seth, Isis and Nephthys. \n Explore Ancient Egypt's creation myths, including the Book of the Dead, and the evolution of pictograms and hieroglyphs, which documented many aspects of Egyptian life. Read how, across the long duration of the Ancient Egyptian age, animals such as cats, falcons, baboons and scarab beetles became sacred, and how species like the jackal, lion and the Nile crocodile became intertwined with the gods.\n\nEgyptian Mythology\nThe Gods, Heroes, Monsters and Legends of Ancient Egypt\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services;
