Over the past five million years, our species has spread from the plains of East Africa to every inhabitable landmass on our planet. Combinations of our technological Know-how, scientific knowledge, and complex societies have allowed humanity to shape and affect our environment more than any of our fellow species, even to the point of our peril.
How did we get to this situation?
What are some of our ancestors' choices as individuals, societies, and species that shaped our history to the present day?
How did we develop those complex societies that let us build the first cities, nations, and empires?
How much control did our ancestors have over their choices?
What did they ascribe to the will of the Gods, and what was the result of human abilities?
How do we in the present day, acknowledge and interact with our cultural inheritance from the ancient world?
The answers to these age-old questions, of course, span some 11,000 years! The evidence looks like we had a fragmented intruder comet sometime about 10,000 BC that ended the Ice Age. This Concept is now the debate of Astronomers in the last decade only.

This Book tells of the legends of the Gods of ancient Egypt, legends circulated during the 'morning of the world' as described by the Egyptians, originally carved in stone, and written on papyrus, preserved for millennia until now.
Although this Book is intended to arouse the public's interest in the religion and civilization of ancient Egypt, it also fuels the imagination on the lost knowledge of the Egyptians.
Although the Book is intended for the layman, each piece of ancient literature has notes provided for the more scientific reader. In these accounts, the origin of the legend, the Book, or books in which the original may be found, and the papyrus texts have been translated into one of the modern languages by various great scholars in various languages of the present time. There are other multitudes of translations that can be seen in the libraries of specialists; many of these, however, are of use only to those who study the Egyptian language and literature.
The order of the stories is thus: First come the legends of various gods, then the legends of Osiris and the deities associated with him, and finally the legends of Ra. In the end, you build a fascinating picture in your mind of the legends and a brief synopsis of all the gods that appear in them.
