Understand the Egyptian pantheon and some spiffy spells!

People can learn the names of the gods and what they are best known for. Like the Edda tells the tales of the Norse gods, this presents some key papyrus and other sources that tell the tales of the Egyptian gods and their personalities. We learn of amulets, spells, and histories of the gods and their people. There are other sources, but this one is unique in organizing the different tears of gods and their relation to each other. ----------------- Now we have a problem with mixed versions. The hard copy has great sketches of the papyri and cartouches. Still, it is missing some simple, helpful graphs like “The Great Ennead of Heliopolis” and some comparison of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. Because they are mixed versions, the star rating is for the book in general.
