This review is from: The Wisdom of the Egyptians: Religion of Ancient Egypt, the Book of the Dead, the Wisdom of Hermes Trismegistus, Egyptian Magic and the Book of Thoth (Forgotten Books) (Paperback)

I was disappointed reading the book, it has many things translated, but almost all of the translations are like reading out of the holy bible. If I did not know better I would have thought that the Egyptians were all christian at the time the pyramids were built.

The publisher offers free books for download form their website.

I would not have bought the book, if I had know that it was a track.

There are some of us that have read many books on magick, Greek and Roman books, and even Egyptian. However to the uneducated of the mysteries that are written about they might not know the difference.

Besides better stories about Thoth can be found on other internet sites such as Wikipedia.

The only thing that I can say is forgotten about the books referred to is that they are most likely ones that the author would have liked them to have written. Also anyone that knows history knows that the Trinity did not come until much later than the dynastic periods of the Egyptians.
