Summary: Clearly presented !
Comment: I find the narrow mindedness of the earlier reviewers disgusting. It is typical of our present day amateurs to judge excellent work after having briefly skimmed over it with sporting eyes.

Summary: GIVE BUDGE THE CREDIT HE DESERVES!
Comment: I noticed many criticizing Budge for this 2-vol. set on the gods and goddesses of Ancient Egypt. To his credit, he provides much useful and obscure information that modern authors tend to leave out. If you want simple definitions of the gods and goddesses, then no, these volumes aren't for you; but, the Ancient Egyptians religion was not a simple one. I love Budge's books more that anything because he provides the heiroglyphic texts for you to see for yourself, you don't have to rely on what someone else says they mean. There are times he makes statements about the Egyptians that are now considered untrue (i.e. that they were savages... or other statements about their religion) but if you read his other books, you will find that his opinion changed over time, and he says so in his books. I would recommend any of Budge's books for the extensive amount of information they provide, and the actual heiroglyphic texts they provide for you to translate yourself if you choose to.

Summary: WARNING: ONLY USEFUL FOR THE LEARNED!
Comment: For those looking for a clear and up-dated overview of ancient Egyptian religion, THIS IS NOT THEIR BOOK. As it happens with many of Budge's books, this two-volumes set is quite out-dated and, moreover, it is highly-speculative (but without warning one that what he says is just that: speculation). Non the less, for those with a rather deep acquaintaince of the Egyptian Mythology and beliefs, it still could be helpful in certain matters. And, as it always occurs with Budge's works, there are scattered here and there some bits of useful data. Another criticism, which can be extended over to any of his other titles, is the lack or meagre references to the bibliography or documents from which he extracted his quotations. So that, BEGINNERS BEWARE!
