Like many kids, I had a love affair with Ancient Egypt - I even wanted to be an Egyptologist when I grew up. Sadly that never came to pass, but I did take classes here and there, including learning to read hieroglyphs at a beginner level. So when I stumbled on this book at the library I couldn't resist bringing it home. This book would be an invaluable reference for anyone who is interested in Ancient Egypt or in ancient religions. It's a beautiful book, filled with photos of the stunning artwork in tombs and temples and decorative objects. It definitely made me want to break out my Dictionary of Middle Egyptian and read the inscriptions shown. Recommended.
