## Summary

Egyptian religion ran continuously for longer than any other system in this volume — from the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt around 3100 BCE to the final closure of the temple of Isis at Philae by Justinian in 537 CE. The basic cosmology stayed remarkably stable across that span. Key sections include: The Two Lands.; Opening Three thousand years.; Chapter I Four creation stories.; Chapter II The voyage of Ra.; Chapter III The death and return.; Chapter IV Isis.; Chapter V Set.; Chapter VI Horus.; Chapter VII The jackal at the door.; Chapter VIII Wisdom and order..
