This book identifies, for the first time since antiquity, the sources and meanings of more than 50 Ancient Egyptian symbols, including the Eye of Horus, evil god Seth and his strange head, 10 major crowns, and the symbolic foundations of Osirian mythology, backbone of Ancient Egyptian religion for more than 2000 years.
The book is organized for the general reader and scholar alike..
More than 300 detailed illustrations, beautifully presented, make these discoveries easy to understand and appreciate.
Most of them are based on detailed examinations of living examples of Ancient Egypt\'s two sacred flowers - the Blue and the White Waterlilies - and on resurrection texts found in Ancient Egyptian tombs.
These are paradigm-changing discoveries.
