Beskrivelse af Egyptian Tales of the Magicians
Egyptian Tales Of The Magicians is a collection of ancient Egyptian stories compiled and translated by renowned archaeologist and Egyptologist, W. M. Flinders Petrie. The book features a series of magical tales that were originally written on papyrus scrolls and date back to the Middle Kingdom period of ancient Egypt (2055-1650 BCE). The stories in the book center around the exploits of powerful magicians, who use their supernatural abilities to help or hinder the lives of mortals. These magicians are depicted as being able to control the elements, communicate with the gods, and even bring the dead back to life. Some of the most famous tales in the book include the story of the magician Djedi, who is said to have been able to restore a severed head to life, and the story of the magician Khafra, who uses his powers to trick a rival magician and win the favor of the pharaoh. Throughout the book, Petrie provides detailed historical and cultural context for each story, explaining the significance of certain symbols and rituals that would have been familiar to ancient Egyptian readers. Overall, Egyptian Tales Of The Magicians offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of ancient Egyptian mythology and magic, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of this ancient civilization.THIS 58 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Egyptian Tales Translated from the Papyri, by W.
