Tod und Jenseits im Alten �gypten | Jan Assmann

Today I found out that Jan Assmann is dead. 😭😭😭 He was a well-known German egyptologist and was famous for his cultural theories.
Once I had the chance to see one of his lectures at the Egyptian Museum in Leipzig and got his autograph. Back then I wanted to tell him that I‘ve read most if his books and that he is very important for me, but the only thing I was able to say (quivering in front of this authority) was: „For Maria, please“.

Jari-chan RIP 🕯️ 3mo

Pantheon: The True Story of the Egyptian Deities | Hamish Steele

pick

In the category of wild back stories, this pantheon is giving the Greek Olympians a run for their money.
Ancient gods are not known for their decorum, so I can't really blame the 'stereotypical juvenile dick/fart joke' type humour entirely on the author. He does manage to make some dizzying lore into a cohesive multi-chapter tale, and the somewhat sentimental ending worked for me.
It's silly and colourful and really not for younger audiences.
