An interesting journey through time
It is amusing to learn about the times gone by Egyptians. This book is a close approach to their past lives and how significant they were for our civilization, it also gives us key and essential information to understand their philosophy. This book was very enjoyable. Great educational resource, that is an easy read.

Loved it!
A good short read on ancient Egypt. I can't ever get enough of this topic. I particularly enjoyed reading about the deities Isis and Osiris, the magnificent pyramids and the Valley of the Kings and while I am not a religious person myself, I am very interested in reading about the history of religion and this book touches on that too. Worth the download.

Great concise small book while covering all major important issues
Good for reader who have less time but in need to cover all aspects in general. The writer is honest in keeping historical approach into content than flooding with mysterious story or conspiracy theory. The book is worth both price which is cheap and value of reading time spent into this.

I really really like this book
I really really like this book. It was small but had a lot of information in it. It gave a lot of Egyptian names of god and pharaohs that i have heard of; know i know what there name means and stands for. This would be a good starter book on knowing who the Egyptian god were.

Explained for those who donโt read
No one knows who preceded Egypt is and who build the pyramids. All these people mentioned on this book, are myths created by men. Question for Egypt fans,Did Atlantis preceded Egypt?

Mythology I read when I was in elementary school.
I picked this because I have had a fascination with Egyptian mythology since I was in elementary school. I had hoped this book would delve in deeper to what I have already read and this book did not achieve that goal. It was informative. I was disappointed in how the book was written including grammar. I will not take away the fact that the book is a good read for someone who is just starting learn about Egyptian mythology. It just wasn't for me.

It's informative and by the thinnest book I've seen, the information about the authors degree and experience led me to believe it would not end after what felt like 10 tiny pages . It's for children and looks like a PRINGLE book. Nothing solid, information given you can get on Google, you don't need a degree for it ! Disappointed with the way it was advertised . But good book if your 10 years old or English is your second language .
