5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, 17 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This is a comprehensive study, with copious references to original sources, hieroglyphics and all. One could buy ten different books on the Egyptian Gods and not get all of the information that is contained in these two volumes. He does, at least ostensibly, conform to the common view of the time, that "Culture started with Greece", but there is much that was revolutionary for his time; in fact he was a major contributor to today's opinions of Egypt as a fount of wisdom, in that he propounded the concept that monism was implicit in the earliest phases of their religion, and in general, he went further than anyone else to bring Egyptology to light and life, as exemplified in his translation of the Book of the Dead. The only problem with the Dover edition is that the colour illustrations of the original edition are in black and white.

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and informative... Yet also Erroneous, 13 May 1998
By A Customer
Wallis Budges' Book, "The Gods of The Egyptians" was Interesting at BEST and full of insulting and incorrect terminology and opinions about the Ancient Egyptians at WORST!! The book delved into the belief structure of the religion of the Egyptians but he referred to the Egyptians as "savages" many times then made statements that "...their ideas about the world beyond the grave and God and gods were of a savage, childish and inconsistent character". He also made the statement that "..it is difficult to see how the eminent Egyptologist could attempt to compare the conceptions of God formed by a half-civilized African people with those of such cultured nations as the Greeks and Romans". ANY educated man that has studied Egypt knows that the Egyptians TAUGHT the Greeks everything they THOUGHT they knew who came into Egypt ignorant and obsessed with homosexuality I.E.- Socrates, Pythagora credited w/(Pythagorems Theorom) which he learned in Egypt and the Romans were the same way. The Romans INVADED Egypt.. raping the country of her knowledge and culture.. which is how the Romans got THEIR knowledge I.E.- The Library of Alexandria. It is well known that Egypt was considered the "Learning Center Of The World" and had even developed the FIRST writing systems and were mathematical, medicinal and philosophical geniuses. YET... Wallis Budge would have his readers believe that they were SAVAGES and their religion wasn't really even worth bothering with.. yet he neglects to mention that it is the SAME religion upon which Christianity was based. So I would say to read Mr. Budges books (but especially this one), with a reserved and cautious mind. I have quite a few of his books, and they all maintain that same opinionated and incorrect view of the Egyptians and their culture. Therefore if you take his writings literally and as pure fact.. you might miss the GREATNESS that existed in an ancient people and their culture.
