Now, in Egyptian Mythology, Geraldine Pinch offers a comprehensive introduction that untangles the mystery of Egyptian Myth. Spanning Ancient Egyptian culture--from 3200 BC to AD 400--Pinch opens a door to this hidden world and casts light on its often misunderstood belief system. She discusses the nature of myths and the history of Egypt, from the predynastic to the postpharaonic period. She explains how Egyptian culture developed around the flooding of the Nile, or the "inundation," a phenomenon on which the whole welfare of the country depended, and how aspects of the inundation were personified as deities. She explains that the usually cloudless skies made for a preoccupation with the stars and planets. Indeed, much early Egyptian mythology may have developed to explain the movement of these celestial bodies. She provides a timeline covering the seven stages in the mythical history of Egypt and outlining the major events of each stage, such as the reign of the sun God. A substantial A to Z section covers the principal themes and concepts of Egyptian mythology as well as the most important deities, demons, and other characters. For anyone who wants to know about Anubis, the terrifying canine god who presided over the mummification of bodies and guarded burials, or Hathor, the golden goddess who helped women to give birth and the dead to be reborn, or an explanation of the nun, the primeval ocean from which all life came, Egyptian Mythology is the place to look.</TD></TR></TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=1 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=1><TR><TD><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=1 CELLPADDING=3 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><TR><TD ALIGN="LEFT"><H3 ALIGN="CENTER"><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Egypt-000-BCE-Civilization/dp/1591431093%3FSubscriptionId%3D1PBBW85R76PQTM62KDG2%26tag%3Danswers2000limit%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1591431093" onmouseover="window.status='Ancient Egypt 39,000 BCE: The History, Technology, and Philosophy of Civilization X';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" TARGET="_top">Ancient Egypt 39,000 BCE: The History, Technology, and Philosophy of Civilization X</A></H3></TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=2 CELLPADDING=5 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><TR><TD WIDTH="50%" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="LEFT">By Edward F.

Yet, no records exist explaining how, why, or who built Egypt’s megalithic monuments and statues. The ancient Egyptians did, however, record that their civilization resided in the shadow of a kingdom of “gods” whose reign ended many thousands of years before their first dynasty. What was this Civilization X that antiquity’s most accomplished people revered as gods? The recent discovery of a large stone at one of Egypt’s oldest ruins presents physical evidence that clearly and distinctly shows the markings of a machining process far beyond the capabilities of the Ancient Egyptians. Likewise, experimental modeling of the Great Pyramid’s subterranean chambers and passageways gives scientific evidence to further support the theory that the civilization responsible for such magnificent monuments is much older than presently believed. Ancient Egypt 39,000 BCE examines this evidence from historical and technical points of view, explaining who these prehistoric people were, what happened to them, why they built their civilization out of granite, and why they built a series of pyramids along the west bank of the Nile River. </TD></TR></TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=1 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=1><TR><TD><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=1 CELLPADDING=3 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><TR><TD ALIGN="LEFT"><H3 ALIGN="CENTER"><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Gods-Goddesses-Ancient-Egypt/dp/0500051208%3FSubscriptionId%3D1PBBW85R76PQTM62KDG2%26tag%3Danswers2000limit%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0500051208" onmouseover="window.status='The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" TARGET="_top">The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt</A></H3></TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=2 CELLPADDING=5 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><TR><TD WIDTH="50%" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="LEFT">By Richard H.

From lavish tomb paintings and imposing temple reliefs to humble household shrines, countless tributes throughout Egypt reflect the richness and complexity of their mythology. This book examines the evolution, worship, and eventual decline of the numerous gods and goddesses—from minor household figures such as Bes and Taweret to the all-powerful deities Amun and Rethat made Egypt the most completely theocratic society of the ancient world, and made Egyptians, according to Herodotus, "more religious than any other people." • "Rise and Fall of the Gods" considers the origins of Egypt's deities, their struggles to control cosmic forces, and their eventual decline. • "Nature of the Gods" examines the forms, appearances, and manifestations of the deities, as well as the transcendence of preeminent deities such as Amun. • "Worship of the Gods" introduces the rituals and mysteries of formal Egyptian worship, including the importance of temples and festivals. • "Kingship and the Gods" discusses the all-important position of the king, who served as a bridge between the gods and humanity. • "The Many Faces of the Divine" is a unique catalogue of Egypt's gods and goddesses grouped according to their primary forms, discussing their iconography, mythology, and worship, and their influence over time. With hundreds of illustrations and specially commissioned drawings, this is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the deities that lay at the heart of Egyptian religion and society. 400 illustrations, 170 in color</TD></TR></TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE> <CENTER><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/mh122ar-xrzEHKHGGFHEGFJGLKFG" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/kt72vvzntrCFIFEEDFCEDHEJIDE" alt="" border="0"/></a></CENTER> <IMG SRC="i1_white.png" WIDTH="640" HEIGHT="1" BORDER="0"></TD> <TD WIDTH="1%" VALIGN="TOP"> </TD> <TD WIDTH="1%" BGCOLOR="#99FFCC"> </TD> <TD WIDTH="18%" BGCOLOR="#99FFCC" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="RIGHT"> <iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=answers2000limit&o=1&p=14&l=st1&mode=books&search=Learn%20Arabic&fc1=000000<1=_blank&lc1=000099&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" width="160" height="600" border="0" frameborder="0" style="border:none;" scrolling="no"></iframe> </TD> <TD WIDTH="1%" BGCOLOR="#99FFCC"> </TD> </TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS="1" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" BORDER="0" RULES="NONE"> <TR> <TD WIDTH="100%" BGCOLOR="#99FFCC"> </TD> </TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS="11" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" BORDER="0" RULES="NONE"> <TR> <TD WIDTH="1%" BGCOLOR="#99FFCC"> </TD> <TD WIDTH="18%" ALIGN="CENTER" VALIGN="MIDDLE" BGCOLOR="#99FFCC">  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://s38.sitemeter.com/js/counter.js?site=s38travelguide2"> </script> <noscript> <a href="http://s38.sitemeter.com/stats.asp?site=s38travelguide2" target="_top"> <img src="http://s38.sitemeter.com/meter.asp?site=s38travelguide2" alt="Site Meter" border="0"/></a> </noscript>  </TD> <TD WIDTH="1%" BGCOLOR="#99FFCC"> </TD> <TD WIDTH="1%" BGCOLOR="#99FFCC"> </TD> <TD WIDTH="1%" BGCOLOR="#99FFCC"> </TD> <TD WIDTH="56%" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="CENTER" BGCOLOR="#99FFCC"> Note: Our company does NOT provide travel, vacation, hotel, car rental services or associated products or services.
