En savoir plus sur le livre

Exploring the origins of Egyptian deities, the book argues that gods were not fashioned in human likeness but rather represented through animals embodying super-human powers. Key figures like Sut, Sebek, and Shu are depicted as a hippopotamus, crocodile, and lion, respectively, while other gods take forms such as an ape, jackal, beetle, ibis, and goose. This perspective challenges the common assumption that myth-makers created divine beings based on human characteristics, emphasizing a deeper connection to nature and its powers.
