Gods of the Egyptians V1
Professor E A Wallis Budge, Sir
- Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 0766129888. Volume I of II. Budge, of the British Museum, is considered to be one of the foremost Egyptologists of the 20th Century. Today, this work is often given mixed reviews. Some believe it to be thorough, useful coverage of the gods of Ancient Egypt, with full information on the origins of the ancient religion; evolution of cults, rites and gods; the cult of Osiris; the Book of the Dead and its rites; and much other secret wisdom. Others believe this work is tainted by Budge’s dated views and what are considered now to be politically incorrect characterizations of the Egyptians. Considering it is considered to be a standard work in the history of religion it is probably well worth a read to decide for oneself. Content: The Gods of Egypt; Conception of God and the Gods; Primitive Gods and Nome-Gods; The Companions of the Gods in Heaven; The Underworld; Hell and the Damned; The Oldest Company of the Gods and the Creation; History of the Creation of the Gods and of the World-Hieroglyphic Text with Interlinear Transliteration and Translation; Ra, The Sun-God, and His Forms; The Myths of Ra; The Legend of Ra and Isis-Hieroglyphic Text with Interlinear Transliteration and Translation; The Destruction of Mankind-Hieroglyphic Text with Interlinear Transliteration and Translation; Thoth, and Maat and the Other Goddesses who were Associated with Him; Hathor and the Hathor-Goddesses; The Horus Gods; and The Great Triad of Memphis, Ptah, Sekhet, and I-Em-Hetep.
