Presenting modern devotional perspectives that are rarely covered in other works, this premium hardcover offers comprehensive profiles of more than one hundred Egyptian gods, goddesses, and other divine beings. This thoroughly researched, full-color tome features detailed descriptions and captivating illustrations of well-known deities, like Anubis, Horus, Isis, Ra, and Sekhmet. It also features demigods, spiritual beings, and deities of neighboring regions who were also honored by the Egyptians, such as Menhyt (the lioness-headed goddess of Nubia) and Harmachis (the spirit that resides in the Giza Sphinx). Each entry includes a remarkable cache of information, including the deity's hieroglyphs, festivals, relatives, personality, domain, and more. Also featuring photographs of important sites and antiquities, this impressive collection is the only resource on Egyptian deities you will ever need.
