Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is a collection of Egyptian myths and stories that I found easy to read. The stories are very similar to both ancient Indian and Greek anecdotal and philosophical stories.
It was my first book on Egyptian mythology, and it was a great choice. CLASSIC!
Egyptian culture was so amazing - even amongst the brutality and slavery, there was so much philosophy and artistic expression.
PEACE

Margaret Alice Murray (1863-1963) was a prominent British anthropologist and Egyptologist. She was well known in academic circles for scholarly contributions to Egyptology and the study of folklore which led to the theory of a pan-European, pre-Christian pagan religion that revolved around the Horned God. Margaret Murray's reputation as a witchcraft historian is poor, and she is criticized by contemporary historians (such as Ronald Hutton) because of her demonstrated tendency to subjectively interpret or otherwise manipulate evidence to conform to her theory. Her theories are acknowledged to have significantly influenced the emergence of Wicca and reconstructionist neopagan religions. Her works include: Saqqara Mastabas (1904), Elementary Egyptian Grammar (1905), Elementary Coptic Grammar (1911), Egyptian Sculpture (1930) and Egyptian Temples (1931).
