Set in the mythical realms of darkness and light, "Egyptian Myths" feature tales about creation, life after death, good and evil and the search for the secret of all knowledge. The marvellous stories in this collection are based on ancient Egyptian temple inscriptions, sacred hieroglyphic texts and tomb carvings. The spirituality of this long-dead culture is recaptured in this world of mighty gods and powerful magic.
