4.0 out of 5 stars AN INTERPRETATION NOT FOR BEGINNERS, Feb 14 2001

By

Robert (Buenos Aires, Capital Federal Argentina) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Myth And Symbol In Ancient Egypt (Paperback)

This book is not intented as a general public introduction to the religion of ancient Egypt and that's why many newcomers in Egyptology became dissapointed or were at a lost. The speech of the author is not easy to follow if one is not well embebed into the ancient system of thought. None the less, there are plentiful of original research in this book that I should recommend it to anyone who wants to get deeper into Egyptian mythology.

This book alows you to contact as directly as possible the actual egyptian formulations of their myth when they generated them. This is truly a unique experience, that becomes even greater when one visits Egypt.
