Eerder een bronnenboek dan een studie. De inleiding is vrij beknopt en niet altijd even kritisch. Manniche verzamelt 'erotische' teksten, vooral mythen, liefdespoëzie en wijsheidsteksten. De afbeeldingen bestaan veelal uit tekeningen eerder dan foto's, een verdedigbare keuze die allicht vaak beter leesbaar beeldmateriaal oplevert dan met foto's het geval zou zijn. Het boek eindigt met een volledige weergave in tekeningen van de erotische papyrus uit Turijn, met een beschrijving en een vertaling.… (mais)

This book was a mythological book, This story begins with a barren queen being unable to have children. The queen asks the gods for a son. She received a son. The fertility goddesses decided that he was going to be killed by either a crocodile, a snake or a dog. The king locks his son into a tower away from the things that could hurt him. The prince decides to leave his tower to explore the world. He encounters a princess in a tower.

In this legend, a prince is told that he will die either by dog, snake, or crocodile, and lives his whole life trying to avoid this terrible fate.Translated fairytale from hieroglyphs, but with a happy ending tacked on. Good for talking about Egyptian culture and the tales in them. Beautiful stylistic illustrations that look like the ones in the monuments. I love the hieroglyphs running across the bottom below the English text. Historical notes in the back of the book.

This is a good example of a legend. The book was translated from the hieroglyphics from King Tut's reign, although the original characters are not known. This book would be great for teaching Egyptian culture and hieroglyphics. On each page, the hieroglyphics are translated into English, but if you knew a few symbols, you could follow along.
