    Egyptian Mythology: A

    Guide to the Gods,


    Goddesses, and Traditions
    of Ancient Egypt
    By
    Geraldine Pinch
    Oxford University Press
    From stories of resurrected mummies and thousand-year-old curses
    to powerful pharaohs and the coveted treasures of the Great
    Pyramids, ancient Egypt has had an unfaltering grip on the modern
    imagination. Now, in Egyptian Mythology, Geraldine Pinch offers a
    comprehensive introduction that untangles the mystery of Egyptian
    Myth.

    Spanning Ancient Egyptian culture--from 3200 BC to AD 400--


    Pinch opens a door to this hidden world and casts light on its often
    misunderstood belief system. She discusses the nature of myths and
    the history of Egypt, from the predynastic to the postpharaonic
    period. She explains how Egyptian culture developed around the
    flooding of the Nile, or the "inundation," a phenomenon on which
    the whole welfare of the country depended, and how aspects of the
    inundation were personified as deities. She explains that the usually
    cloudless skies made for a preoccupation with the stars and planets.
    Indeed, much early Egyptian mythology may have developed to
    explain the movement of these celestial bodies. She provides a
    timeline covering the seven stages in the mythical history of Egypt
    and outlining the major events of each stage, such as the reign of the
    sun God. A substantial A to Z section covers the principal themes
    and concepts of Egyptian mythology as well as the most important
    deities, demons, and other characters. For anyone who wants to
    know about Anubis, the terrifying canine god who presided over the
    mummification of bodies and guarded burials, or Hathor, the golden
    goddess who helped women to give birth and the dead to be reborn,
    or an explanation of the nun, the primeval ocean from which all life
    came, Egyptian Mythology is the place to look.
