description: The multiple gods &amp; goddesses, the temple rituals, the burial practices &amp; the religious rules of Ancient Egypt seem very mysterious. The author places these mysteries in the context of Ancient Egyptian life. He explains them as a response to normal human needs &amp; fears. Divided in 5 chapters, this book talks about all the gods--both the lesser known &amp; the important ones--&amp; their influence in the Ancient Near East &amp; Greece. Well illustrated in black &amp; white, this proves to be quite useful for travelers &amp; students of Egyptology.--Francesca Jourdan (edited)
