Author Description

This groundbreaking book details a concerted search for the origins of the basic beliefs of the ancient Egyptian religion. Originally published by Penguin Books, the author has thoroughly examined the ancient texts and the magnificent artwork of these enigmatic people and has come to some starling conclusions. She has also spent many nights, over many years, sleeping in the desert, observing the clear skies over Egypt. This revised third edition has computer printouts, which the Penguin edition lacked, and is now available in this 6 x 9 format, rather than the larger, "cocktail table" size of the second edition.
