Mysterious Lands
Author: David O'Connor
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1315423804
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Mysterious Lands covers two kinds of encounters. First, encounters which actually occurred between Egypt and specific foreign lands, and second, those the Egyptians created by inventing imaginary lands. Some of the actual foreign lands are mysterious, in that we know of them only through Egyptian sources, both written and pictorial, and the actual locations of such lands remain unknown. These encounters led to reciprocal influences of varying intensity. The Egyptians also created imaginary lands (pseudo-geographic entities with distinctive inhabitants and cultures) in order to meet religious, intellectual and emotional needs. Scholars disagree, sometimes vehemently, about the locations and cultures of some important but geographically disputed actual lands. As for imaginary lands, they continually need to be re-explored as our understanding of Egyptian religion and literature deepens. Mysterious Lands provides a clear account of this subject and will be a stimulating read for scholars, students or the interested public.

The Balance of the Two Lands
Author: H. Jeremiah Lewis
Publisher: Createspace Independent Pub
ISBN: 9781442190337
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
Once, the city of Alexandria stood at the crossroads of the ancient world: its culture was a fusion of the best of all that had come before, and yet also something completely different, more than just the sum of its various parts. It was individualistic, ecumenical, cosmopolitan, creative, intellectual, and steeped in a deep mystical religious yearning. Today we call this system of belief Greco-Egyptian polytheism, and while a great deal has changed since the Hellenistic era, it remains a beautiful, powerful and meaningful religion for an increasing number of people today. Lewis explores the long history and contemporary manifestations of Greco-Egyptian polytheism. In this new collection of essays - many of which appear here for the first time - he provides overviews of the system, information on theology, ethics, and the afterlife, as well as material on domestic worship, ritual forms, and the things considered necessary to begin practicing Greco-Egyptian polytheism today.

Category : Egypt
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Ancient Egypt is an occupied land, a nation usurped by foreigners called the Setiu, better known to history as the Hyksos, who have gradually taken over a weakened government in a bloodless invasion through commerce and political power. Controlling the country for over two hundred years through a superior military force, the Setiu Kings plunder the land and slowly subvert its religion and culture. Finally one family of the true Egyptian blood is prepared to make a stand to claim back the authority which is rightfully theirs. Seqenenra Tao, Prince of Weset, can trace his descent back to the last rightful King of Egypt. When his family's lands, their people and their very lives are threatened by the Setiu King Apepa, Seqenenra is forced to make a choice between persecution and submission or a rebellion that will change the history of Egypt forever.
