Negative Positive
Title: Off the mark
Review: This book does not explain religion in ancient Egypt, admittedly a very complex topic.Alison interpretes Egyptian myths in a literal fashion,pertaining to the pharaohs and their families or to cycles of nature.But,the key to Egyptian religion is that Horus is the divine soul in humans, and the various myths refer to "his" life cycle.All that happens in the myths refers to the spiritual development of human beings.This book shows no understanding of this meaning.Writers such as Gerald Massey, Alvin Kuhn and R.Schwaller de Lubicz give the best understanding of ancient Egyptian religion.
