The gods of ancient Egypt,
This review is from: The Star-Bearer: A Creation Myth From Ancient Egypt (Hardcover)
"The Star-Bearer: A Creation Myth from Ancient Egypt," by Dianne Hofmeyr and Jude Daly, is a visually stunning book. The text tells the story of the ancient deities of Egypt: Atum, the creator; Shu, the god of air; Nut, the goddess of the sky; and others. The text is accompanied by colorful, elegant illustrations that capture an epic feel. This is a good book for parents and teachers who are interested in introducing children to the creation myths of different cultures.

This review is from: The Star-Bearer: A Creation Myth From Ancient Egypt (Hardcover)
This book is a great introduction to creation myths of Ancient Egypt. It presents the creation according to the Heliopolitan Cosmogony, which is one of many creation explanations from Ancient Egypt. I love this book. My son and I read it together at night and we look up into the starry vault of heaven, knowing we are looking at the belly of Nut, as we stand upon her husband Geb.
