This is a compelling selection of myths, morality tales, political dramas, prayers and spells from Ancient Egypt. The book is richly illustrated with 120 photographs of scrolls, sites and artefacts, and includes family trees and historical introductions to each chapter.
'Chronicles Of Ancient Egypt' presents illustrated tales of the gods, pharaohs and citizens of Egypt. Drawing upon the Pyramid Texts and the Book of the Dead, here are the legends of the principal deities such as Isis, Osiris and Thoth; the spells used to help the soul on its journey to the next world; and political dramas of the pharaohs, from Tutankhamun to Hathsepsut, assassination to tomb robbing.
