||3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.| Great Book for Those Interested in Ra|By Tif|This book is about Ra and his cult (true to the title!) Quirke takes you through Thebes and Iunu, talking about the different sources for Ra-related myths, hymns related to Ra and other forms of the sun god, and there's also a chapter on Akhenaten and Amarna that I found very enlightening.

I was hoping to read more about t|About the Author|Stephen Quirke is a curator at the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, University College London. He specializes in ancient Egyptian manuscripts, particularly of the Middle Kingdom, and has written widely on the subject.

This text draws together Egyptological advances in our understanding of the cult of Ra, from the 3rd Millennium BC to the Roman conquest of Egypt and the rise of Christianity. It explores Egyptian sources for the character of Ra, his pivotal role in creation, and the way in which Egyptians expressed the world as physical matter unfurling from the sun. The core of the book focuses on on the epicentre of the cult: the temple of Ra at Iunu.
