*received for free from netgalley for honest review* Really cool book, my mom is really into Egyptology and would have gotten this for me as a child lmao

This was a helpful and educational overview of the major Egyptian gods and goddess with beautiful art and photos of real artifacts included. I especially enjoyed that the art of the deities depicted them with dark skin as I find similar books revolving around Egyptian deities tend to white-wash them.

I would definitely recommend this for a young kid who is interested in learning more about the subject.

Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt: Egyptian Mythology for Kids by Morgan E. Moroney features illustrated myths of incredible Egyptian gods and goddesses, these twenty stories describe the magic each deity performed along the Nile. From the rising of the morning sun to the summer flooding of the Nile River, the ancient Egyptians believed powerful gods and goddesses ruled over every aspect of their daily lives. This Egyptian mythology guide explores the legends and how Egyptian mythology was a key part of ancient Egyptian culture, like pyramid building, the mummification process, and even the worshiping of cats.

Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt is a book that helped me fill in some of my mythology knowledge gaps. I have read some Egyptian mythology before, but feel much less versed in it than Greek, Roman, Celtic, or even Norse. Now I feel like I have a better understanding of the mythology, and I really enjoyed the read in the process. I thought the color choices for heading and text were bold, and as expected, and the illustrations by Meel Tampanon added a great deal to the read. I also liked the inclusion of photographs of artifacts from the culture, and photographs of the land. It really brought home the reality of the lives and beliefs of the people in ancient Egypt. I knew the basics of Egyptian mythology, and as I read I discovered new things and was reminded of details I had forgotten. While I still need to do an in depth look at the mythology to assuage my own curiosity, I think that this is a good introduction for young readers.I really appreciated the family tree, glossary, resources for further reading, and references that were included in the endpages.

Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt is an accessible and engaging read.

Ancient Egyptian people were deeply influenced by their gods. The gods helped them to make sense of things that they did not understand. One well known example was finding an explanation for why the Nile flooded each year, a natural phenomenon upon which the population depended.

This book tells the stories of over fifteen of the gods and goddesses. They were the gods or goddesses of creation and war, the underworld, healing, mummification, love, music and celebration, knowledge and more. The end of the book includes a glossary, a “find out more” section and references while the beginning includes a map and timeline.

Many children go through a phase of fascination with mummies and all things ancient Egyptian. This title is a great way to capture and build upon that interest.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this beautifully illustrated boook in exchange for anhones review.

What a wonderful collection of Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt. This is the perfect book for kids to learn about Egyptian Gods and mythology. I also think it is great for any beginner who is curious about the Gods of Egypt, no matter their age.

Also the artwork was beautiful and I really want them as posters for my wall.

Any mythology buff would fall in love with this book. The author groups each god by function and tells their stories with ease. Not only is the focus on the major gods, Ra, Osiris, the lesser known gods are also present, Geb, Hathor. The artwork transports you back in time with attention to detail, like hieroglyphs on a wall, as well as transports you back to the present day with photwallThere is a glossary in case any of the pronunciations stump you. Overall an awesome read and welcome addition for any Egyptology or mythology buff.
