"The Gods of Ancient Egypt A Practical Guide" is a collection of descriptions and the fantastical tales of the pantheon of ancient Egyptian deities. While religion has served a purpose in societies since time began, no other ancient mythology has captured the modern imagination like that of ancient Egypt.
The Gods of Ancient Egypt A Practical Guide is an ‘armchair Egyptologist’s’ collection of the facts, certain of the myths, intriguing asides, tantalizing back stories and suppositions about the gods of the ancients.
Readers will find out that the mummy of movie fame was actually a brain surgeon. And mummies aren’t the only subjects from ancient Egypt to make it to the big screen. The life and loves of the last pharaoh of Egypt Cleopatra was most famously portrayed by Elizabeth Taylor in “Cleopatra” (1962). The vulture winged headdress crown that Taylor wore represented the wings that goddess Isis was believed to have sprouted when she learned of the death of her husband Osiris.
The Gods includes a bibliography and a handy glossary, as well as, there are a sampling line drawing illustrations.
Compiled by a well-read armchair Egyptologist, the collection references the basis for many modern horror, fantasy, mystery, and new-age fiction. The Egyptian gods have captured the imaginations of scholars and readers alike. Tales of hawk-headed avengers, death battles between the brothers good and evil, Isis the goddess of love or a hippopotamus- protector standing upright, taking on all challengers –the stuff of ancient myths have mesmerized us all.

This is a fantastic read. What I have read is very informative and well researched. Until now I only knew the major gods Osiris, Heather, Isis, Nepthys, Thoth (I portrayed him in a play), Horus, Anubis, and Seth. (This) book is a spectacular blend of myth and history, easy for any novice to understand.

Execrable writing/editing. Malpractice to publish this. Howlers:• Jung held that myths, just like religion, and philosophy influence and characterize nations and vast epochs in history.
• Before the role was overtaken by Osiris; Anubis was principle god of the dead. After Anubis, with Nepthys and Isis, bound the dismembered parts of the Osiris, thus restoring the body of the king through mummification. Anubis thereby became the god of mummification, as well as, the weigher of souls.
• The alcoholic content of the wine, served as an antiseptic, killing bacteria on the body, thus retarding decomposition.
• who could afford to have her sacred image carved or caste
No competent writer/editor makes such errors. I'd fail my students for writing this badly.

The Gods of Ancient Egypt A Practical Guide eBook Carolyn Patricia Scott Cleven "Goody" Goudeau Jorge Infante Roberta L Olson Reviews
I thoroughly enjoyed this "Practical Guide" to all things ancient Egyptian gods! Scott's writing style was clear, concise and engaging, like a personal introduction to each and everyone of them. I was reacquainted and reminded about the gods I knew of - and informed about new ones that I didn't. A great price for such an encyclopedia of research and knowledge and a wonderful addition to any library as a quick and thorough go-to guide !
