This book contains retold legends of the Gods of ancient Egypt, legends, which were current in the "morning of the world," preserved to the present day engraved on stone and written on papyri. Retold, each in their own way, adhering strictly to the story, but words and phrases have been rearranged according to the English method; retaining, as far as possible, the expressions and metaphors of the Egyptian. In some cases, whole sentences were inserted in order to make the sense clear; these are in places where the story divides naturally into several parts, as in "The Battles of Horus," and "The Regions of Night and Thick Darkness"; where each incident, so like the one preceding and the one following, is kept distinct in the mind of the reader by this means. This repetition is quite in accordance with the style of Egyptian literature.The book is intended entirely for the general public, who are increasingly interested in the religion and civilization of ancient Egypt, but whose only means of obtaining knowledge of that country is apparently through magazine stories in which a mummy is the principal character. It may be worth noting that in these legends of ancient Egypt mummies are not mentioned, except in the Duat, the home of the dead, where one naturally expects to find them.Though the book is intended for the unscientific reader, some provisions were made for the more serious student, in the introduction of each chapter. The origin of the legend, the book or books in which that original is published, and the book where the translation into a modern language by one of the great scholars of the day can be found are all provided for further research and study. Other translations there are in plenty, which can be seen in specialist libraries; many of these, however, are of use only to a student of Egyptian literature and language.The stories are arranged in the following sequence: first, the legends of various, one might almost say miscellaneous, gods; then the legends of Osiris and the deities connected with him; lastly, the legends of Ra. At the very end is a short index of all the gods mentioned. Some of the timeless legends within this book include: The Book of Thoth, The Scorpions of Isis, The Battles of Horus, The Coming of the Great Queen, and more!*This work was originally published in 1920 under the title Legends of Ancient Egypt. This new edition has been revised and modernized for readers of the present generation and serves as accompaniment to the audiobook as narrated by Dennis Logan for Game Winner Publishing.*This publication is dedicated to seekers of knowledge, those who apply wisdom and cultivate peace and understanding through preservation of the cornerstones of tradition, culture, equality, justice and humanity through love and with God.
