Much has been written on the greatness and grandeur of her mighty civilization, but much more remains to be done before it can be said that we comprehend her. There are still great gaps in our knowledge of her history; and her art and architecture, though assiduously studied, are yet but poorly understood. Her picturesque script and her strange religion still bristle With unsolved problems. This little book, by a student and lover of Egypt, aims only at a glimpse of one of the most enchanting problems of Egyptology. The religious and moral ideas of ancient Egypt yield to no other problem in human interest. How they arose, grew, and developed is the subject of this study.
