IMPRESCINDIBLE INTRODUCTION TO EGYPTIAN RELIGION

Dr. Cerny was an important Egyptologist, known mostly from his minute and illuminating studies of Hieratic inscriptions; this time he has engaged in interpreting the religious creeds of the ancient dwellers on the Nile, mainly during the New Kingdom, which is the age he know best. The result is an important and readable introduction to the subject-matter, that no one interested in its study can overlook. For all Egyptian religion students: You must own one of this!
