DVR Gods of Ancient Egypt Coloring Book
Barcode: 9780486420882
In ancient Egypt, the gods were considered supernatural forces that controlled everyday occurrences. There were hundreds of these figures — from the sun god Amun-Ra, who was worshipped in festivals throughout the land, to such lesser figures as Bastet, the goddess of sexuality and childbirth, who was represented by the image of a cat.
This fact-filled coloring book describing the functions of a number of Egyptian deities will thrill young Egyptologists and colorists alike. Fourteen full-page illustrations feature images of:
- Atum, the creator
- Osiris, the god of fertility and farming
- Anubis, the jackal-headed god of funerals and mummification
- Isis, the goddess of love and motherhood
- Bes, the god of pleasure and protector of children
- Horus, the symbol of the living pharaoh, shown as a human male with the head of a falcon
- Seth, a god symbolizing darkness and evil
- Hathor, the goddess of love and protector of women
- … and six other immortals.
- Fascinating captions characterizing the appearances and roles of these Egyptian gods and goddesses accompany the illustrations of facing pages.
