Summary

Explore Egyptian Gods

Throughout Egyptian history, we see that gods who had once been favored were set aside or had their roles altered in order to make way for gods whose cults became more popular, while political changes, such as the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great, ushered in cultural and religious exchanges that both affected native Egyptian religious practices and also had an impact on the religious beliefs of Greece and Rome.

Because the Egyptian pantheon is vast, even if one leaves out the syncretized deities, it is not possible for this volume to present a comprehensive overview of ancient Egyptian religion and myth. Instead, only a select number of deities and concepts are discussed here. Some of these are more well-known deities, while others might not be as familiar to modern listeners. However, this audiobook still offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient Egyptian religion and culture and the richness that was life in ancient Egypt.

Within this audiobook, you'll find the following the Egyptian gods and topics covered:

  • Amen (Amun, Amon, Ammon)
  • Anubis (Anpu, Inpw)
  • Aten (Aton)
  • Atum (Tum, Tem, Atem, Temu)
  • Bastet (Bast, Boubastis, Pasht)
  • The Book of the Dead and Other Funerary Texts

Gosh...

... You can say that we don't know with confidence what the pronunciations of certain things truly were meant to be originally... but the way things are pronounced in this audiobook could give someone whiplash. Never in all my life have I heard Thebes being pronounced "Theebees". Bloody hell... I'm not even going to get into the inconsistent pronunciation of Akhenaten...

The facts are useful, but the strange over the top American narrator and mispronunciations are rather jarring...

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
