The dust jacket reads: Ancient Egypt was more than a living museum of resplendent artifacts. At its core. the culture was highly spiritual. Unwavering in their devotion to a vast number of gods and goddesses. Egyptians constructed a belief system that provided a rich source for their literature-a literature stretching from the first dynasty (c3100-2890 B.C.) to the twentieth (c. 1200-1085 B.C.). Egyptian Legends and Stories is an entertaining compilation culled from songs. plays. stories. and prayers. Much of the mate- rial. dating from as far back as the early Pharaonic period. was recorded by ancient Egyptian priests and scribes: creation myths. tales of royal conflict.stories of adventure and magic. What may amaze and intrigue the reader are the incredible similarities between these works and the biblical writings they predate.
