In this Book, the tales of the ancient gods of ancient Egypt are told, legends that circulated during the time described by the Egyptians as the "morning of the world," initially carved in stone and preserved on papyrus for millennia until today.
In addition to compelling interest in ancient Egypt's religion and culture, this Book also fuels the imagination about the lost knowledge of the Egyptians.
Each ancient piece of literature in the Book has notes for the more scientific reader, though it is intended for the layman. A collection of great scholars has translated the origin of the legend, the Book, or the books in which the original may be found, and the papyrus texts into one of the modern languages. Other multitudes of translations are available in specialist libraries; however, many are only helpful to those who study the Egyptian language and literature.
The legends are ordered as follows: first, come to the stories of various gods, then Osiris and the deities associated with him, and finally Ra. The myths and the gods that appear in them give you a fascinating picture in your mind.
