Daily Life of the Egyptian Gods (Hardcover)
Dimitri Meeks and Christine Favard-Meeks
Cornell University Press
About
The Meeks take an interesting perspective, which is to present the Names of Netjer as if they were a people and the book were an anthropological study of a living tribe. Covers the philosophical intricacies of ancient Egyptian religion as well as some of the hard facts: rites, temples, priesthood, and the three-tiered calendrical system tied into the festival days of the Names. May not be for beginners, but is more accessible than Hornung. Highly recommended.
