Authored by Professor Wilkinson, this authoritative volume offers detailed descriptions, cultural context, and a well-organized structure, making it an essential resource for scholars and passionate readers alike. ## Description The gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt, worshipped for over half of recorded history, are among the most fascinating and complex of any civilization. Here is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the deities that lay at the heart of Egyptian religion and society. It examines the evolution, worship and eventual decline of the numerous gods and goddesses – from minor household figures such as Bes and Taweret to the all-powerful deities Amun and Re – that made Egypt the most completely theocratic society of the ancient world, and made Egyptians, according to Herodotus, ‘more religious than any other people’. Review: A manageable listing of the gods. - I bought this book looking for a fairly comprehensive collection of Ancient Egypt's major deities. Ancient Egypt had some 2000 plus gods/demi-gods/supernatural beings so a true comprehensive list in a single book is nigh on impossible. With that in mind this book is comprehensive as is sanely possible. I have known the major gods well enough (Anubis, Amun, Re, Thoth, Seth, Horus, to name a few examples) but wanted to know about much more minor gods which this book definitely delivered, it also includes those few foreign gods who became excepted into the Egyptian pantheon. It has a great deal of information on Egyptian religious concepts (such as the underworld, the relationship between the king and the gods, the combination of gods into composite deities etc) and mythology but anyone buying this hoping to read complete mythological tales may be disappointed though relevant tales are alluded to for the appropriate deity. The books main concern is listing the gods. Gods are listed into different categories based on their most common appearance. It is broken into Male Anthropomorphic gods, Female Anthropomorphic gods, Mammalian gods (cats, dogs, etc), Avian god, Reptile/amphibian/fish gods, invertebrate gods and finally inanimate objects. It also briefly talks about "demi-gods" such as "demons" and (as mentioned earlier) composite gods (Eg. Amun-re). The book is lavishly illustrated with beautiful photos and drawings though I often found the minor gods were not usually illustrated which was my main frustration, luckily google usually helps out in that regard though even a small drawing of each would have been nice, though, I understand the need for space on the page. If I were to have any complaints it would be the author's preference for Greek names of Pharaohs (Amenophis rather than Amenhotep) and some gods (Mnevis bull rather than Mer-Wer) if I am learning about Egyptian gods then I would rather know the Egyptian name than the Greek. Luckily Wilkinson does usually give the Egyptian name as well though I personally would have preferred it being the dominant reference. Other than that I loved the book, it has opened up my understanding of Ancient Egypt even further. I still have far more questions than answers, such is the depth of Ancient Egyptian history and religion. I would recommend it to anyone with a sincere interest in the subject though for those whose interest is more casual they may find much of it overwhelming especially with no prior knowledge of Egyptian history. I shall be referring to this book thoroughly in the future, I'm certain of that. Review: Superb - Professor Wilkinson’s impressively detailed book is authoritative, comprehensive and immensely readable. It is so well structured and indexed that you can easily find the information you want about the mythology, iconography and worship of any of the multitude of Ancient Egyptian deities. As well as containing a gratifyingly large amount of highly informative text, this beautifully produced book boasts a very large number of illustrations, predominantly in colour. (Indeed, there are excellent colour photographs of statues, paintings, reliefs and artifacts on almost every page of the book.) It also contains a very substantial bibliography – although most of us are unlikely to want or need anything more than is provided in this remarkable book. Seriously, anyone who is interested in Ancient Egypt should own a copy of ‘The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt’ – and the more you read it, the more it will fuel your interest! ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 70,179 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 170 in History of Civilisation & Culture 304 in Folklore (Books) 650 in Religious History | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,030 Reviews | ## Images ![The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91zXLlySChL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A manageable listing of the gods. *by S***D on 18 April 2018* I bought this book looking for a fairly comprehensive collection of Ancient Egypt's major deities.
