Egypt. Culture, Religion, Architecture of Ancient Egypt. Fifth Edition, Revised and Expanded

The oldest and most mysterious civilization of Ancient Egypt still fascinates and attracts modern humans... Mummies, the gold of pharaohs, pyramids, temples, gods, sacred rituals and rites of the ancient Egyptians have captured the minds of many generations from ancient times to the present day. We have all heard a lot about Ancient Egypt, but what do we really know about it? How to separate the true grain of knowledge from the rumors and conjectures that spread everywhere here and there? This book will help you begin the journey of understanding the mysteries of Ancient Egypt and choose the right path for this understanding. It consists of separate articles by well-known authors - scholars, Egyptologists, archaeologists, writers, popularizers, and even priests, each with their own opinions and styles of presenting and delivering material. They are grouped by topics into general sections covering all aspects of the history of the development and decline of the mysterious culture of Ancient Egypt, from which, unlike any other, a huge number of unique monuments have survived to this day. But at the same time, apart from separate temporal correspondences, factual materials, and numerous hypothetical assumptions, we still know practically nothing about it... 5th edition, revised and expanded.
