Explore Egyptian beliefs, myths and rituals in this beautifully illustrated, highly original work. The ancient Egyptians left behind an astonishing cultural legacy -- a rich body of writings about the quest for immortality and the passage through life, death and the underworld.

Magic, ritual, the gods and pharaohs, the symbolism of the stars and great battles are key themes in this journey.
