Gran formato y gran calidad de papel e impresión, muy ilustrado con el papiro completo y con desplegables y muy bien explicado, lastima que está en inglés pero no lo hay en castellano

Since childhood, I had wished to read this book. I can only say that everything about it is amazing—from the high quality of the printed text and images to its exceptional content.

Boy am I glad I'm done reading this book,and I still don't know half of what I read,thank goodness at the end of the book there is a commentary by a Dr. of Near Eastern studies,who states, "There are many obscure parts that can't be explained".All in all a very interesting read with great pictures.The interesting points I found is they believe the Earth is a Firmament Oval surrounded by water i.e. Flat Earth,Horus the Hawk brings the dead mans soul to Osiris [in my own experience I find this to be true of certain people],Seth the great Bull,the soul of Geb,is a steeler of souls,laps up corruption and lives on what is putrid i.e.Satan.The book also talks of gate keepers for a lot of things for all sorts of things good and evil.Talks about many Great Councils i.e. Gods.RE who is cat like is the eldest of the Gods,which I found to fascinating as I believe the world is divided into cat people and bird people [lizards],the Sunshine God is above all,like Christianity [Mithraism] and the messenger came out of the body of the Sun i.e. Christ? that Atum created from his flesh,parts of your body represent Gods,like your eyes are Horus your phallus is Osiris etc,it talks of portals and sacrifices for the Limp one [Satan],final judgement before the council of Gods,[which I believe is true as well no matter what religion you are],it also says that you can encounter another world in your dreams,[which I believe is true as well].So some very interesting info to draw your own conclusions.
