OAn indispensable reference work for the traveler and a precious working tool for the amateur, the new dictionary of Egyptian mythology gives the keys to the fabulous world of ancient Egyptian religion. For 5000 years, Egypt worshiped an extraordinary pantheon. From Anubis to the concept of eternity, from Horus to the Book of the Dead, from Osiris to Thoth, to navigate Egyptian mythology, so complex, it is necessary to have an expert tool, but adapted to the great audience. Multiple and varied, the Egyptian deities are difficult to classify precisely because religious beliefs are complex. They have evolved over time and often have different geographical locations. Amon, for example, is worshiped throughout the country, unlike other gods who are only celebrated locally. Isabelle Franco offers us a dictionary where each deity benefits from a clear and complete notice. Even the rarely mentioned gods are included. The dictionary also details the cities in which the sanctuaries are located, the attributes of the deities, the animals embodying them. Each enjoying a specific entrance. A list of terms in hieroglyphics allows the specialist to work and the amateur to find his way around in his visits to sites and museums.
