Worshiped for over threefifths of recorded history, ancient Egypt's gods and goddesses are among the most fascinating of human civilization. The lives of pharaohs and commoners alike were dominated by the need to honor, worship, and pacify the huge pantheon of deities. From lavish tomb paintings and imposing temple reliefs to humble household shrines, countless tributes throughout Egypt reflect the richness and complexity of their mythology. This book examines the evolution, worship, and eventual decline of the numerous gods and goddessesfrom minor household figures such as Bes and Taweret to the allpowerful deities Amun and Rethat made Egypt the most completely theocratic society of the ancient world, and made Egyptians, according to Herodotus, 'more religious than any other people.'? 'Rise and Fall of the Gods' considers the origins of Egypt's deities, their struggles to control cosmic forces, and their eventual decline.?

'Worship of the Gods' introduces the rituals and mysteries of formal Egyptian worship, including the importance of temples and festivals.?
