Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding, this selection of Ancient Egyptian quotations is the perfect compact volume of quotes to inspire readers.

Every country has its proverbs, sayings passed down from generation to generation that impart wisdom and tell truths, and ancient Egypt is no exception. Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding, Ancient Egyptian Wisdom offers more than 80 succinct quotes from one of the greatest and longest-lasting civilizations of antiquity. Throughout this collection we discover advice and guidance that we might find relevant today. Interspersed with this wide-ranging wisdom are wonderful phrases more specific to Egyptian life, landscape and the world and cosmos as they knew it. There was danger all around in those ancient times. ‘A crocodile does not die of worry, it dies of hunger.’ ‘A scorpion in the sandal teaches quickly.’ Whether you are an enthusiast of ancient civilizations, a seeker of spiritual truths, or simply a curious mind, ancient Egyptian life and mythology has something to offer everyone. It is an invitation to step into the realm of gods and mortals, prophecies and cosmic order, and discover the enduring wisdom of an ancient culture that continues to resonate with us today.
