Richard H Wilkinson's lifts the layers of myth and ritual to present the first fully illustrated and systematic survey of the deities of Ancient Egypt, their evolution, different manifestations, worship, rituals and festivals. It is a book which, moreover, outlines the lasting legacy of Ancient Egyptian religious beliefs.

Many books have been written on the deities of Ancient Egypt, but none quite like this. The Complete Gods and Goddesses provides a comprehensive catalogue of Egyptian deities, their worship from early Pharaonic times to the Roman period, and the book is enhanced with beautiful and appropriate photographs as well as newly-commissioned drawings of tomb paintings, statues and temple reliefs.

It is part of the "Complete" series and, in my opinion, the most needed, because while , , , , provide more of the same on each subject, Gods and Goddesses does more.

We will also be documenting the culture, but perhaps more importantly, we will also be assessing the safety of Western, and in particular, American tourists and travellers to Egypt. We actually are well informed of tourist safety in the main touristic areas of Egypt, as our staff in Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor and elsewhere keep us informed on a daily basis. However, we will also be travelling to more remote locations, some frequented by a few tourists, while others see virtually no foreign presence...
