Atrahasis
Author: Albert T. Clay
The word Atrahasis means “extra wise” and refers to the earliest known version of Noah, who built an ark and saved mankind from destruction. This is that story, from ancient Sumeria, which many scholars believe was the original from which all known flood stories came from. This was the most popular story in the ancient world and has survived for over five thousand years. It is the only one that all cultures, worldwide, seem to share. Why? Was there really a great flood? And why do we not explore the oldest known version carefully for clues? That is the purpose of this book, which also includes a number of other interesting flood story fragments and documents.

LEARN EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPHICS
Subtitle: Easy Lessons with Matching English Text
Author: E. A. Wallis Budge
The most fascinating language of the ancient world is that of the Egyptian hieroglyphics, as seen on countless tombs and temples that remain to this day in Egypt. What do they say? The only way to learn what these symbols mean is to study the ancient texts. Many of them are reproduced here with matching English translations. This rare text was previously published under the misleading title of Egyptian Language, and is now back in print. It is the standard introduction to Egyptian hieroglyphics, 10 written by one of the greatest Egyptologists of his time, E. A. Wallis Budge.
Budge was once Keeper of the Egyptian Antiquities in the British Museum. As a result, he goes beyond translation lessons by revealing a fascinating history of hieroglyphic writing, including how the code to its understanding was cracked, and the overall evolution of the language. The main portion of the book, however, contains lists of hundreds of characters that have their phonetic meanings defined, often within important historical texts.
Includes chapters on grammatical usage in all areas, including verbs, adjectives, adverbs, nouns, and pronouns. This is the perfect book for anyone wishing to gain a true understanding of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.

EGYPTIAN RELIGION
Author: E. A. Wallis Budge
The after-life was a major component of ancient Egyptian culture, upon which much of their society was centered around. Death and resurrection was considered a constant cycle. This book is the first comprehensive study of ancient Egyptian ceremonies. The author, Sir Wallis Budge, was the keeper of the Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities at the British Museum and devoted his life to understanding their mysteries. This book goes much further in explaining ancient Egyptian rituals, texts and artifacts than many newer books have done. Highly recommended for those seeking new information on a legendary ancient culture.
