About this title:

Synopsis: Next to the famous pyramids, Egypt is perhaps most famous for its rich and complex body of religious beliefs, customs and practices. In this volume an expert on the ancient world examines Egypt's gods, creation myths, beliefs about the afterlife, tombs (and efforts to thwart tomb robbers), embalming techniques, magic spells, amulets, hymns and prayers and much more.

Review: "Quoting extensively from 19th-and 20th-century Egyptologists, as well as from available ancient sources, Nardo presents a great deal of information in a smooth narrative, accompanied by archival photographs and reproductions of artifacts, illustrations from the past century or so, and even scenes taken from films and documentaries."
