From what we know of history, Egypt, along with Sumer, were the foundations of civilization. The Fertile Crescent, which stretched from the Nile Valley to the twin rivers in Mesopotamia, gave us our earliest glimpse of organized man. But organized how? For one, both locations gave us writing -- hieroglyphics in Egypt and cuneiform in Sumer. There is still some debate about who was first.

The Papyrus of Ani is a papyrus manuscript created c. 1250 BCE, in the 19th dynasty of the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt. The introduction by E.A. Wallis Budge is followed by a transliteration of the sounds of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, a word-for-word translation, and a smooth translation.

The Late Bronze Age Near East (c. 1500-1200 BCE) was a time and place where great kingdoms and empires vied for land and influence, playing high stakes diplomatic games, trading, and occasionally going to war with each other in the process. The Egyptians, Hittites, Babylonians, Assyrians, and several smaller Canaanite kingdoms were all part of this system, which was one of the first true “global” systems in world history and also one of the most materially prosperous eras in antiquity.

Africa may have given rise to the first human beings, and Egypt probably gave rise to the first great civilizations, which continue to fascinate modern societies across the globe nearly 5,000 years later. From the Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria to the Great Pyramid at Giza, the ancient Egyptians produced several wonders of the world, revolutionized architecture and construction, created some of the world’s first systems of mathematics and medicine, and established language and art that spread across the known world.

Among all the periods in ancient Egyptian history, the Ptolemaic Kingdom and its most famous ruler, Cleopatra, may be the most well-known today. By the 4th century BCE, it appeared as though ancient Egypt was in its final death throes. It had long ceased to be an influential kingdom in the Near East and Mediterranean regions, and it had been ruled over by a succession of foreign peoples including Libyans, Nubians, Assyrians, and Persians. But just when Egypt seemed was doomed to pass forever into obscurity, it was reinvigorated by outsiders, most notably Alexander the Great. While in the process of campaigning to destroy the Achaemenid Persian Empire and conquer the world in 331 BCE, he made a pit stop in Egypt that forever changed the course of Egyptian history. Although his understanding of ancient Egyptian chronology and religion was minimal, Alexander was intrigued by ancient pharaonic culture, knowing, as the 5th century BCE Greek historian Herodotus once wrote, “Egypt is the gift of the Nile.” As a result, Alexander endeavored to incorporate the land of the pharaohs into Hellenic Civilization.

When Alexander the Great arrived in Egypt, he overthrew the hated Persian overlords and was welcomed as a saviour. He repaid them by showing due reverence to their long-held traditions. After his death, as the Greek empire broke up and his closest advisers squabbled over the spoils, a Macedonian general named Ptolemy seized the Egyptian throne, ushering in a new dynasty that would last for 300 years. What followed was as dramatic and compelling as any period in Egyptian history.

The Egyptian pyramids are some of the greatest building feats ever achieved. At a time when the rest of the world was in the Bronze Age, living in small villages sustained by subsistence farming, the Egyptians built the pyramids. It is mind-boggling to think they did this when mankind had not yet invented iron or the wheel. They did this when the only tools workmen had were made from either bronze, which had to be constantly re-sharpened, or stone or wood. It’s truly remarkable.

"El Libro Egipcio de los muertos" es el nombre moderno de un texto funerario del Antiguo Egipto que se utilizó desde el comienzo del Imperio nuevo hacia el 1550 a. C. hasta el 50 a. C. El nombre egipcio original es traducido por los egiptólogos como "Libro de la salida al día". El texto consiste en una serie de conjuros mágicos destinados a ayudar a los difuntos a superar el juicio de Osiris, asistirlos en su viaje a través de la Duat, el inframundo, y viajar al Aaru, en la otra vida.

This book delves into the rich mythology surrounding the phoenix, particularly its Egyptian incarnation known as the Bennu. Often depicted as a symbol of rebirth and renewal, the Bennu is intricately linked to ancient Egyptian beliefs about life, death, and resurrection. Unlike its later representations in other cultures as a fiery bird rising from ashes, the Egyptian version of this mythical creature was more akin to a heron or sparrow and was believed to emerge from water rather than flames. This unique perspective reflects the significance of water in Egyptian cosmology, where it ...

This audiobook covers the Egyptian hieroglyph metaphysical language of images/pictures - the language of the mind/intellect/divine; the scientific/metaphysical realities of pictorial images (hieroglyphs) as the ultimate medium for the human consciousness that interpret, process, and maintain the meanings of such images.

You are probably wondering why in the world should you read about some 8000 year old ruler during a time when people must have been hitting each other with stone knives or at best some type of spear, but simply have no idea about this very important man and time. Djehuty, also known as Thoth, was what the Judeo-Christian community called the Egyptian ruler and Anakim-Giant from the kingdom called Atlantis. I know some have relegated Atlantis to the fantasy of Plato’s Grandfather, but it was the seat of a huge kingdom taking in the lands of Egypt, Sidonia, and around the Eastern shores of ...
