Anubis,
Horus,
Sobek,
Isis and Osiris
Read about Egyptian architecture.

Understand the story of the Great Pyramids, Sphinx and valley of the kings, the Pharoahs responsible for commissioning these magnificent structures and how modern day man had interpreted what was found.

What impact did Ancient Egypt have on modern day civilization?

It is amusing to learn about the times gone by Egyptians. This book is a close approach to their past lives and how significant they were for our civilization, it also gives us key and essential information to understand their philosophy. This book was very enjoyable. Great educational resource, that is an easy read.

Good for reader who have less time but in need to cover all aspects in general. The writer is honest in keeping historical approach into content than flooding with mysterious story or conspiracy theory.
The book is worth both price which is cheap and value of reading time spent into this.

I really really like this book. It was small but had a lot of information in it. It gave a lot of Egyptian names of god and pharaohs that i have heard of; know i know what there name means and stands for. This would be a good starter book on knowing who the Egyptian god were.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lack of knowledge/history of surrounding cultures.
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2018
The author demonstrates a lack of knowledge of the cultures surrounding, or influenced by ancient Egypt. Some of the information about these cultures is factually incorrect or so oversimplified as to be inaccurate .

2.0 out of 5 stars Mythology I read when I was in elementary school.
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2018
I picked this because I have had a fascination with Egyptian mythology since I was in elementary school. I had hoped this book would delve in deeper to what I have already read and this book did not achieve that goal. It was informative. I was disappointed in how the book was written including grammar. I will not take away the fact that the book is a good read for someone who is just starting learn about Egyptian mythology. It just wasn't for me.

I recently watched couple of movies surrounding the stories of Egyptian Gods. This books, of course, tells the right tale. This book tells an interesting story of the history of Egypt. One chapter that was intriguing for me is Legacy of Egyptian Beliefs. Great insight of the different beliefs relating to Egypt.

2.0 out of 5 stars the information about the authors degree and experience led me to believe it would not end after what felt like 10 tiny pages

It's informative and by the thinnest book I've seen, the information about the authors degree and experience led me to believe it would not end after what felt like 10 tiny pages .

It's for children and looks like a PRINGLE book. Nothing solid, information given you can get on Google, you don't need a degree for it !
Disappointed with the way it was advertised .
But good book if your 10 years old or English is your second language .
