Dive into the mythical universe of ancient Egypt with Ariel Slick’s Mitología Egipcia: Dioses, Héroes, Monstruos y Leyendas del Antiguo Egipto. This 256-page hardback book (ISBN 978-84-1154-027-8) takes readers beyond the tombs and pyramids into the very fabric of Egyptian myth: from Atum’s first breath to Shu and Tefnut, from Nut and Geb to Osiris, Seth, Isis and Nephthys.
You will uncover how Egyptians conceived the cosmos, how the sacred animals like cats, ibis, falcons, baboons and dung beetles became entwined with divinity, and how the Egyptians' pictographs and hieroglyphs recorded these myths for posterity.
Rich in images, mythological narratives and accessible commentary, the book is ideal for mythology enthusiasts, history buffs, educators and general readers seeking a visually compelling gateway into the spiritual and symbolic life of the Nile civilisation. Whether you’re intrigued by the “Book of the Dead”, the rise of gods and monsters, or the interplay between nature and mythic archetypes, this volume offers a comprehensive, beautifully produced resource. Published September 2023, it brings together narrative clarity and scholarly depth to make ancient Egyptian myth vivid and engaging.
