wonderful story telling!

After years of study into the Egyptian myths and countless stories and segments of stories, hearing these spoken with passion and joy brought many of the Gods and stories to life in ways I have longer for. It is approachable, fun, and full of wisdom for those that seek it.

Amazing

it's an amazing book. The stories are detailed, but not too long. The beginning is a bit slow, but interesting nevertheless. 5/5

good thing

its a good thing i finally had the opportunity to read this book. for the first time , i feel like i have done something great. I found this book an excellent, well compiled, highly educative and informative book. many of the stories not new to me but now clear to me. i would recommend this book again and again

saved my time

This book provided answers to my questions.Am pleased with the introduction as well as the detailed stories narrated in the book. it wouldn't have been easy for me to go through the book without this audio book . it actually saved my time on the book and helped me go through the book even in my most busy schedule . I would recommend this book

Far below expectations

I initially purchased this book in order to know more about Egyptian mythology and the core values of their belief systems. This book falls short. While it provides several stories, it doesn't provide context for the tales or place the tales within the larger Egyptian context or society. The narration is a bit dry and lacks nuance.

A great beginner's book

A good source in starting off Egyptian Mythology studies. I love how this book offers several versions of the Egyptian creation mythos.

Hit and miss

It was sadly super difficult for me to absorb a lot of the information... this narrator just isn’t for me.

Overal good

This was a good base overlay of Eygptian Mythologys main storys. The narrater had decent Voice

Amazing Find

I truly enjoyed this rendition about the ancient Egyptian Gods, Goddesses, Monsters and Myths. More!

so good

I loved this book, all of the little details and how the narrator read it, it was really good

Good reference

This is well narrated in simple and clear English language, anyone can simply listen and get informed, entertained and educated. its a good reference guide for anyone looking for information on the life and history and myths of the Egyptians.

wow

This is quite a lengthy book. Have never really had so much time to listen to an audio book or read a book , but it was different for me on this book. I found the stories quite interesting , informative and detailed. To me it was more than just an book of history. I learned a great deal from the book

The stories I never knew I needed to hear

A brilliant and thrilling introduction to Egyptian mythology. The stories flow well from one to the other and each are very well narrated.

Couldn’t sound more boring! So disappointed :(

The book reads like it’s the authors second language! Great subject made to sound boring by the narrator!

Good content poor performance

The content is good enough however I struggled with enjoying the voice performance. The voice actor is young, which I dont think fits a book on ancient Egyptian myth, and annoyingly raises his voice when impersonating female characters. He also has a twangy Australian accent which sometimes pierces through. Sorry I just didnt dig his voice.

Great listen

Encaptured from start to finish...

Anyone whom enjoys mythology should give this a listen too.

familiarity

This book brings familiarity with the lore of ancient Egyptian culture, myths ,Gods,Goddesses, Heroes and Monsters. its one of the series of classical mythology and its one part of the series you cant afford to miss. look forward to another series of this book
