Bah Dunabāl-i Khudayan-i Misr: Persian 1403

"Osiris tore the first Egyptians from their nomadic life. He taught them to respect the gods. Everything he did, he did without violence, through persuasion and love." Here, in nine chapters, are the marvelous stories of Egyptian mythology: the creation of the world by Re, upon the death of Osiris, the quest of his wife Isis to find him, the terrible battle between Horus and Seth... The fabulous destinies of certain pharaohs: Cheops, whose magicians performed miracles, Ramses II who emerged victorious from the terrible battle of Qadesh against the Hittites... The reader will discover in the documentary pages the civilization of ancient Egypt: the benefits of the Nile, the palaces and the pyramids, the many gods and their attributes, divinatory practices, the science of the scribes, the work of the peasants, the power of the pharaohs, the rites of passage to the afterlife... Told by Olivier Tiano based mainly on Egyptian sources from the Pharaonic era, and based on Herodotus and Plutarch.
