"So far this book is very fascinating. I appreciate most that it examines Egyptian beliefs within the frame of what is understood about Egyptian society, rather than frame it from a western perspective.
This book quotes hymns from The Book of the Dead extensively. The author also touches on how the religion changed through progressing dynasties.
The similarities in modern religions are extraordinary and apparently timeless. While the book is short in length, it is a great starting point for a greater understanding."
