This book is about Egyptian mythology and how the ancient inhabitants of the Nile Valley interpreted the world around them.

The author tells of the creation and evolution of the universe and the reign of the gods on earth, introducing us to the manifestations of Egyptian deities in nature, the inventive ways the Egyptians communicated with the invisible forces at work, and their beliefs about life after death.

From the stars and celestial bodies floating on boats to the wind directed by the god Shu, the Egyptians saw manifestations of the divine everywhere. Gods and goddesses, spirits and demons could be malevolent or helpful, wise or dangerous. The book tells about the adventures of the most famous deities such as Ra, Osiris, Isis, Horus and Seth, as well as about little-known, but no less fascinating myths.

Contains more than 100 illustrations.
