The Temple Legend : Freemasonry and Related Occult Movements Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)In this book, Steiner writes: "One cannot attain to what is usually known as immortality unless one is to some extent familiar with the occult sciences.

Bartlett's Familiar Quotations: A Collection of Passages, Phrases, and Proverbs Traced to Their Sources in Ancient and Modern Literature (17th Edition) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Comparing this, the 17th edition of the best known and arguably the most authoritative collection of quotations ("familiar," memorable, or just plain quotable--you choose the terminology), to its predecessor the 16th edition, the question arises, should you upgrade? I own both books and have examined...

Egyptian Myths (Myths & Legends) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book was a wonderful introduction to the Egyptian beleifs for our 8 year old. Morley tells the myths with style and simplicity. This book is truly intended for an older child, but we read it to him, and he was able to understand the more difficult story lines. As with all myths, the myths themselves...

A Shepherd's Rod Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)In A Shepherd's Rod, Ammena, the daughter of Nido, Pharaoh's chief sorcerer, was a powerful character. Her irresistible beauty drew the unwanted attentions of Pharaoh and every other man who cast his eyes upon her, but what impressed me the most about her was that she was not fixed on this part of herself....

The Kingdom of Kush: The Napatan and Meroitic Empires (Egyptian) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a beautiful and captivating book. It differs completely from other books about the black Pharaohs, which are often ideological and controversial.

Egyptian Civilization Its Sumerian Origin and Real Chronology Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Considering Waddell's use by the Christian Identity crowd and the neo-nazies in general, his theory that the first dynastic Pharaoh of Egypt, Menes, was identical to the son of Sargon the Great of Sumeria is surprisingly well thought out and supported by an amazing detail of argument. Perhaps the aforementioned...

Thutmose III: The Military Biography of Egypt's Greatest Warrior King Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book reads like a book that was cobbled together over a weekend because the author needed the money. Indeed, large chunks are cut and pasted nearly verbatim from Gabriel's other books. Worse, it is poorly executed and cries out for a proofreader. Silly errors make it difficult to have confidence...

Ready-to-Use Egyptian Motifs (Clip Art (Dover)) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Nice artwork in the form of black-and-white line-art but limited usefulness and these pictures are not provided on CD-ROM.

Egypt: A Short History Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The title, unconsciously I think, is funny, but Robert Tignor's book about Egypt gets better as it goes along."Egypt" is one of the odder histories I have read, addressed to people who want to travel to Egypt, which is a lot of people: Tourism makes up 10% of Egypt's national income (not counting the...

The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book has obviously angered (a few) people, so much so that they have gone above and beyond the call of duty as reviewers to invent several screen names and post their ire-filled opinions over and over. The fact is that this book is well written, well researched, and well referenced. The author does...
