The Religion of Ancient Egypt

About this book

Explore the fascinating history of Ancient Egyptian religion through the eyes of renowned archaeologist Flinders Petrie.

Originally published in 1906, The Religion of Ancient Egypt is a scholarly and insightful exploration of the spiritual beliefs and practices of one of history's most remarkable civilisations. Written by Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie, a pioneering British archaeologist, this work offers a deep dive into the evolution of Ancient Egyptian religion, providing valuable context and analysis.

Flinders Petrie (1853–1942) displayed a passion for archaeology from a young age, surveying Roman monuments near his home as a teenager. Over the course of his illustrious career, he made groundbreaking discoveries in Egypt and Palestine, including the Merneptah Stele, a significant artifact offering insight into ancient history. His meticulous methods and numerous contributions to the field earned him a knighthood in 1923.

This edition has been republished with a newly commissioned introductory biography, shedding light on the life and achievements of one of archaeology's most influential figures. The Religion of Ancient Egypt remains an essential read for anyone interested in ancient history, religion, or the enduring legacy of Flinders Petrie's work.
