Author Description

Excerpt from A Handbook of Egyptian Religion And one more remark. I considered it advisable to present this sketch of Egyptian Religion as it appears to an nu prejudiced observer, who knows nothing of the theories of the modern science of religions; the reader will here find nothing of animism, or fetishism, ' of chthonic deities, nor yet of medicine men. The facts should first be established and without prejudice, before we attempt to fit them into a scientific system.
