The ancient Egyptians believed that the Nile - their life source - was a divine gift. This book provides an insight into their religious beliefs and practices, from 5000 BC to the 4th century AD, when Egyptian Christianity replaced the earlier customs. It presents an introduction to the world of half-human/half-animal gods and goddesses.
