M. Flinders Petrie is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This comprehensive work explores various aspects of ancient Egyptian religious beliefs, including the nature of gods, the understanding of humanity, and the afterlife. It delves into the intricate theological systems that evolved over centuries, revealing how they were influenced by the cultural and political changes of the region. The opening of the book sets the stage for an exploration of ancient Egyptian theology by discussing the fundamental concept of gods in Egyptian thought. Petrie emphasizes that unlike modern interpretations, these ancient deities were seen as possessing limitations and shared characteristics with mortals, suggesting a complex relationship between humans and divine beings. He provides an overview of the diversity in celestial beliefs and classifications of gods, including their manifestations and functions, while also hinting at the broader themes of animism and polytheism that will be examined in subsequent chapters.
