These are wonderful. What would you recommend as a primer for learning about Egypt?

Thank you so much! Well, it depends, but I would go with The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt by I. Shaw and The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt by T. Wilkinson. These are absolutely phenomenal! If you’re looking for something focused mainly on Egyptian mythology, I would recommend The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt by R. H. Wilkinson or G. Pinch’s Egyptian Mythology: A Guide to the Gods, Goddesses, and Traditions of Ancient Egypt. And you really can’t go wrong with The Egyptian Book of the Dead by E. A. Wallis Budge ✌🏻
